Great facility and well maintained equipment but be sure to bring your headphones. The music is awful.

Its a great gym. It came recommended to me by a very experienced weight lifter. Love the equipment, has everything you need to train hard or just stay active. Whether you are an advanced lifter or a novice getting back into training or anything in between. They just did some upgrades so the equipment and free weights are in great shape. Staff is really chill and knowledgeable. Its my second home.

Boyfriend and I stopped in while visiting his parents. Absolutely beautiful gym with everything we needed plus extra amenities. The vibe of the people there was great. Everyone cleaned up after themselves and were courteous. The front desk was super welcoming. First visit was free, and then after they offer an affordable day pass. Definitely sold on this place any time we're in town from now on!

Compared to all gyms in Salem, this is by far the best gym out there. Equipment is high quality (other than some of their machines pully systems could use work). They have nice bathrooms when maintained. Their "culture" is a little weird with some staff. There are a few staff members I've run into that are either chatting it up with one another, not paying attention to the front, standing around not doing their jobs. Which I believe is welcoming people in or out of the gym, being friendly and keeping the area clean... one of the female staff had looked up and made eye contact with me before looking back down. No greeting whatsoever.. Another thing I think they could improve is the amount of recording in the gym by staff while people are working out (I'm assuming for their website?)…I never signed a waiver to be recorded while lifting (It makes me really uncomfortable when I workout.. when they record the gym, I tend to leave for the day). To be clear I don't care about others recording because I can walk away, but when the gym staff walk around with Vlog cameras, its weird. Their water bottle fill station near the cardio was perfectly clean, but by the lifting area I had mold floating in my water bottle and it was moldy all over the station as well. (the water filter was red, meaning it needs to be changed, and has been like that for over a week) They keep adding more equipment without expanding, so everything is really squished together and you can't really walk around others. They made a whole back area of the gym into an office recently, which I feel like they could've used as a training area? When Personal Trainers work with their clients there is no respect for others on machines. For example, If you walk to the water fill station and go back to a clearly marked bench.. (with your phone or bag) there will be someone who has already taken it...Another example, I was doing flys the other day and I about hit the trainer since she was walking all over the side lifting area. I couldn't find a spot out of her way. It's like she wanted to be in my space bubble? In the Summer, the AC leaks heavily (They put down buckets, which I've tripped over/seen others trip over)These are just small/big things that I feel should be addressed before raising your prices again. You should consider opening a second gym. You have so many staff that stand around bored and not enough space for equipment to actually be used. I don't doubt this gym could have a second location and it would thrive the same. Maybe more because there will be space for the copious amounts of equipment in this small gym and to not bump into other people constantly.Overall, again. There are way worse gyms, they are also way cheaper with chipped weights, out of order machines, etc. I've gone to this gym for 3 years now and It keeps getting more and more crowded. I stay for the equipment, not the "culture"Side note in the last year: (There have been a lot of steroid users here as well, one month someone is skinny and the next month they're fully ripped with acne all over their backs and gynecomastia.. Kind of hard to miss when its so prevalent).

I came to West Coast Strength looking for a trainer. I had tried other gyms in the area but couldn’t find a good fit. I’d been weight training for over 5 years and was looking for someone to dial in and help me improve. Cody was great. He started out with the fundamentals, which I was impressed with. Then we moved through a personalized program for over 9 months. My lifts improved immensely, I had multiple PRs and was thrilled with with results. I can’t recommend WSC enough. I love this gym and their dedication to their clients. Thank you!

This is a great gym. There are so many strong people who work out here, but I never felt uncomfortable or intimidated. It’s such a welcoming feeling, and the equipment selection is amazing. Also, they keep everything super clean, spacious and user friendly!

Used this gym on a free trial for a week while visiting family in Oregon. I wish we lived here so this could be my home gym. The staff was friendly and I never had an issue accessing the weights or machines I needed. The fellow clientele were friendly and the number of women in the weight room was both comforting and inspirational for my fitness journey. If we stay in this area on future visits I would certainly come back here and purchase a visitor pass.

Nothing but the best of the BEST?? gym equipment is so nice and always clean. The bathrooms and common areas are always well kept. The atmosphere itself will sell you. If you want to feel SAFE and WELCOMED and feel like apart of a family I would recommend joining THE WEST SIDE where they’re all about helping people get the best results and help with goals!? and always supportive????

I had the pleasure of going to WCC for a week as I visited my family in Salem. From my 4 visits, I would say that this is probably the best gym I've seen in the PNW. I was on a free trial during the week but the weekly pass was only $25, which is great for the facilities.Speaking of which, the facilities are excellent - a few oly platforms, several squat racks, several bench and a large number of iso machines and dumbell racks. I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect something this solid. The staff were great, the crowd was a pleasant mix of serious lifters and amateurs, the atmosphere was welcoming. Also appreciated the music being kept at a volume where your own earbuds could drown it out - not that music was bad, but coming from Equinox it was a nice change. Everything kept clean and wiped down and nice. A great place for people who take lifting seriously.

Anything and everything you need. Plenty of space, the cardio, and weight lifting equipment are segregated, which is nice. Bathrooms are always clean, and the sauna is a plus when it's working. Parking can be a little crazy during rush hour
