Salem Hospital Fitness Center

While the fitness center is quite small, it is rather functional, and rarely busy. Nice to have free weights, a variety of machines, and even a small space for classes and stretching. The stereo sucks, so I deducted a star, but hopefully they get that fixed. This is A Great Place To Work Out (any SH employees catch the reference?).

FOR CLARIFICATION. THIS IS THE GYM AT SALEM HOSPITAL NOT THE SALEM FITNESS CENTER. THIS GYM IS ATTACHED TO MRI.
I love my gym! Its affordable, at work, and never too busy.
Now keep in mind you need to be a Salem Hospital employee to be a member but the dues are good (30 a month, less for longer plans) and the equipment is passable. All the free weights you need and a good mix of the rest. 5 treadmills (3 good) and 4 ellipticals (2 good) and a few other odds and ends. Normally the gym is pretty empty which I enjoy because I’m not one to enjoy fighting for machine time or having my workout disrupted because i have to reconfigure. The TV situation is pretty bad and the music situation isn’t great either. But bring you mp3 player and get some lasik surgery and you’ll be fine. Just put the weights back where they belong when your done people!
Also the gym steward is awesome and will help you with classes and workout routines etc.
If your looking for a meat market where you spend 60 bucks a month for a pool you never use and 20 machine that will never see a drop of your sweat and isn’t located centrally to your lifestyle then you should probably pass on this deal.
