Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Salem, Massachusetts

This planet fitness doesn’t have hot water on the middle of winter. If you are planning on working out and taking a shower before you get your car, do not sign up for this location. Manager doesn’t have an idea what to say to people and there is only a female representative therefore she can’t come in and check what may be wrong with the heater.

Love your company. It helped me accomplish The 75 Hard Challenge (required 2 workouts a day). I got life changing results and it wouldn’t have been possible without Planet Fitness. The convenience and depth of your equipment is perfect for a traveling sales person like myself. Gratitude to your team.

“Planet Fitness Salem is amazing! The environment is super welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the facilities are top-notch. I always leave feeling energized and motivated. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay healthy and feel great!”

Facilitaity could have been cleaner, and two of the core trainer machines I tried really needed to be serviced as they were wobbly and as you moved there was clicking you could feel while moving. The third machine was good though. Spa area was clean and well kept. Staff was fantastic

Great place if you go during off peak hours. Which makes sense. Equipment is not the cleanest. A lot of dust and debris in corner areas of the equipment. Other than that, it's good.

I have been coming to White Wolf for almost a year and I am so happy I made the decision to join! Every coach is so nice and encouraging (shout out to my trainer, Greg!) and there is always a dog to greet you when you walk in. Who can be in a bad mood working out with dogs? 😂 Seriously, if you are looking for a local gym with good people, this is the place for you.

I’ve been going to this gym for personal training the past 6 months, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I recently had a herniated disc and I was wary of getting back into weight training after going under the knife. That said, after training here for 6 months, I already feel stronger and my back has felt better as a result. Shout out to Joe (owner/ trainer) for his guidance and striking a balance between pushing me physically and keeping my health top of mind. Everyone here is great and, if that wasn’t enough, the doggos are adorable. 100/10, would recommend!

White Wolf has been my go-to gym for the past few years and I’m so glad I found it! When I finally mustered up the motivation to try my first class, I was hooked. It’s not your typical big-box gym, which is what I love about it. Joe, the owner, and roster of trainers—Greg, Joe, Chris, Maggie, Anthony, and Colby—really focus on you as an individual. Whether you’re new or trying to take your fitness to the next level, the 1:1 coaching and programming during each class feels as close to personal training as you can get in a group setting. My favorite class is Boxing Bootcamp with Greg! Before White Wolf, I never thought it would be something I’d try, but now it’s a weekly staple for me. I also love feeling part of the local community/"pack" both in and out of the gym (the gym doggos definitely help seal the deal ;)).

Great gym and programming for all levels. As a beginner, I was intimidated to get started, but it's a fantastic group all around. Trainers are engaged and attentive and the group is always helpful and supportive.

So glad I found this gym! Honestly, the best gym I've ever been to. Amazing classes, coaches, and community. I've been going here for a little over 2 years and highly recommend!

I've been a member of Crossfit Ironspider for almost 6 years and its been great! When I joined I had zero experience with Crossfit. The coaches make you feel welcomed from the start and are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful which made it a positive experience from the very beginning. The community members and coaches are very supportive no matter what your skill level is. I highly recommend Crossfit Ironspider to anyone wanting to be part of a super community🤩.

Extremely welcoming. its nice to see all fitness levels catered to with phenomenal support from staff and members. Huge space with plenty of equipment. Don't be shy on this gym, you wont regret it.

I have been coming to Crossfit Ironspider for over a year and a half, and it has been a wonderful experience. There is a friendly and supportive community. The coaches are very knowledgeable and always willing to give extra attention when you need help or advice on achieving your goals. I always enjoy the workouts. Coming here for a class is one of the highlights of my day. I highly recommend this gym to everyone. It's great for all fitness levels!

Steve Dion is simply an amazing personal trainer. He has been customizing workouts for me over the past 3 years that increased my strength, stamina, and flexibility despite limitations caused by spine surgery and diabetic neuropathy. At 65, I’m still in the game thanks to Steve. Highest recommendation.

I have been a member here for 2 years and before that have been a member of 4 other boxes in 3 different cities. I can honestly say that Ironspider is the best one. They cater for all ages and fitness levels very well, with awesome facilities, programming and scaling options. The coaches are all knowledgeable, welcoming and supportive. The thing that makes it stand out the most for me compared to other gyms is the consistently non judgmental, very positive atmosphere. There are no “cliques” here and whether your goals are to be the next CrossFit Games athlete or you want to just get a good, fun, well coached workout in, everyone is catered for.
