So glad I can finally take barre classes in Salem!…read more Barre3 is my secret weapon for gentle yet effective movement and lower body injury prevention. The emphasis of listening to your body's needs during class and following it is very welcoming and refreshing. The instructors take care of mentioning modifications during class and there's zero judgement for doing such.

The next day, I told her what happened and when I told her what it looked like, she immediately went to another room and brought it out (all washed and cleaned!) Jack is another person behind the front desk who welcomes me each time. He is also one of the water aerobics instructors and he is always so helpful and encouraging. The other two female instructors are awesome, too! I have been a member for a combined 7 years, but in 2023 I cancelled my membership to save money since I had retired. I came back several months later because of their therapy pool and outdoor pool. I have heart and back conditions that make water exercise my only option for movement to become stronger. It is expensive, but I am prioritizing my health. The West Salem club is just minutes away from home and now that I am retired I can get up early and put in two to three hours.

Three years of lifting here. Overall a positive experience. The staff is great. But: many of the…read moremachines are not bolted down so they slide around as you lift. The squat racks are amateurishly placed in the middle of the workout floor far from mirrors. The biggest issue is just basic cleanliness. The water fountain is consistently filthy. I have notified the owner about this on numerous occasions. To no avail. I mean, how much time and effort does it take to wipe down a drinking fountain? We are drinking from this cesspool.

The number one thing that makes this gym stand out and keeps me coming back is Pilates with…read moreChristina. She's so nice and I always feel like I get a great well rounded workout when I go. She gives lots of options if you have any problems and is happy to talk with you after class to give suggestions for modifications. I believe she is the instructor for the Silver Sneakers class as well which is for seniors or people with less mobility. I have tried yoga with Fenny and it's a good class but not really yoga in my opinion. She uses lots of different things like bands and hand weights and paper plates and stuff, I feel like her class would be a great fit for someone who is just looking for a light guided exercise class. I have yet to try the other yoga classes, because they're really early in the morning, but I'll make it one of these days! Jake the manager is very amiable and helpful if you have any questions, keep in mind they are only staffed during the day though. I do really enjoy that it's 24hrs, because I like to go when no one is there so I can try things out that I'm not the most confident with yet. My only complaint is that I wish that it was a little more clean at this location. The women's locker room especially, often you'll see cobwebs hanging and greasy fingerprints all over the lockers. Nothing super gross, just needs a little more attention I think. Overall this is a very decent, affordable gym with a good variety of equipment and classes!

I told them multiple times I was not interested in their services and yet they would approach me mid workout. Tell me that I need their services and then would imply that they knew more than my doctor or physical therapist. They have zero idea of my actual medical problems and they're not trained on it. They wanted to put me and my physical well being in danger so that they could make extra money. After a week I never went back because it was every single time I went in. If you're a meathead and/or have seniority complex then this is the gym for you.

He took the time to learn your past fitness journey and is willing to help further your future one! Both these guys are the best combos and remember names and faces!

In 2007 and 2008 I used to attend Capitol City Cage Fights (CCCF) in Salem as a spectator, and then…read morelater as an announcer for a few fights, which featured mostly amateur MMA fights with the occasional pro fight. It soon became apparent from watching the fights and interacting my with the fighters during the CCCF bouts, the technical skills of the Impact fighters (from various Oregon Impact locations) were a standout amongst the other gyms that had fighters competing. Their averages for wins were above the rest. I also never observed an Impact fighter show up ill-prepared or overweight. Impact's professionalism and discipline was apparent; and their fighters were great ambassadors for their brand and the sport. I haven't kept up with the Oregon fight scene in a long time. A lot has happened over the years including the successful spreading of Impact gyms down from Portland to Sherwood, Newberg, Salem, and McMinnville. In 08 I became a dad & money/time became extremely tight as I sought other entrepreneurial ventures. I trained occasional with friends or my bro-in-law when I had a chance but never Impact. Years later around 2017, still a cop, I started at the Impact location in Salem training off-and-on always having phenomenal experiences. I would also train BJJ separately with some of my cop buddies. Fast fwd to today. I haven't trained with Impact in a couple of years (not Impact's fault), but I continued to train with weights and work on the heavy bag to keep up some level of grappling conditioning in view of Impact training sessions at the Courthouse gym they operated out of. I will say this about Nic Gilardi (Salem owner). He is dedicated to his coaches, students, and their betterment. I've seen how the children's, women's, Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, and MMA specific classes are all run. What I have seen consists of good folks all working together to get better where egos are expected to be checked when one steps on the matts (read the signs they have posted). It's also worth noting Nic Gilardi (Salem Impact owner) has also devoted his own personal time to training law enforcement officers. For those that don't know, as a former 'defensive tactics' (title for law enforcement's version of martial arts, so to speak) instructor (which doesn't make me anything special by the way), when the public sees what they deem as excessive force, it's generally a result of a poorly trained cop who panics and use poor techniques when faced with a physical fight or resistance out of their comfort zone. Good training like what Nic offers for cops to take part in during their off time directly results in more cool-headed confident cops, who can more efficiently and safely take a resisting subject into custody, vital for the wellbeing of the public especially in the bipolar political environment that at times can be at odds with law enforcement. I digress.. but will say one more thing. Some people gripe about the price BJJ gyms, but I will say Nic is a self made guy who scrapped his way up to earn and continue to earn his BJJ black belt plus a few stripes while dealing with all the trials and tribulations of being a business owner including during COVID. Salem Impact continues to help people become better people. Current estimates are that only .0006 % of the world (maybe 50,0000 out 8.1 billion people) walk this earth that have a legit black belt in BJJ. His instructors have put more time into gaining their ranks than it takes to get a bachelor's degree, with a few who have more time in than it would take to get a PHD, with 3 black belts having been created in the under Nic. For those who don't know who are used to seeing 10+ black belts walking around in kata-based 'traditional' martial arts dojos, developing 3 BJJ practitioners (all of whom have humbled me on the mats in a way where no ego was involved that made me better) is a huge feat which contributes to the Salem-Keizer community as whole. Their presence quietly and humbling walking amongst us makes our community safer. The level of expertise offered is at bargain compared to other specialized trainings found in the professional or corporate world. Training in BJJ or any worthwhile martial arts that includes sparring made up of more than just katas (not talking trash on katas) makes better humans and is a great antidote to the Victim mentality that has become a cancer in today's society(my views do not necessarily reflect Impact:). It's import to note, I have no dog in the fight in regard to Impact. I have not talked to Nic in a couple of years. I also have nothing financially to gain by this post. Whether it's with Impact or somewhere else... Get your kids and yourself signed up. OSS!
