    I really like Planet Fitness in Salem. When you walk in the door, Darien & Mori, at the front desk always greet you with a smile. Mori does a fantastic job cleaning the machines which makes me feel better, especially during cold & flu season. I recommend Salem Planet Fitness!

    I felt the need to write a review of the Planet Fitness in Salem. I actually live in Christiansburg and have been a Planet Fitness member for about 6 years. My club in Christiansburg recently "upgraded" a lot of their equipment to "plate loaded" type while eliminating many of the machines with cables and pins to set the weight. I personally prefer not to use the plate loaded equipment, as it seems many other people feel the same way it makes it difficult to to get a good workout when so many of the machines are occupied with other members either using them or simply sitting on them playing on their phones. (we all know how that is) Anyway, I decided it would be worth the trip (25 miles) to Salem to see if this club would be a better option. I am so glad I did and although it doesn't make sense to drive to Salem 6 days a week (Saturday is rest day) it is definitely is worth the trip 2 or 3 times a week! I have only been making the drive and this new routine for a couple of months now but I plan on continuing for many reasons. From day one the employees there made me feel as though I have been there for years, with a smile and greeting as soon as I walk in the door. A special shout out to Becca and Darion that seem to have the same schedule as I do. It is easy to see they enjoy working together and always seem to stay busy keeping the gym / equipment / and restrooms clean. The atmosphere in the gym is comfortable and spacious with enough equipment that I haven't had to stand around at all waiting for machines to use. It actually seems like the members here respect other members and don't occupy machines unnecessarily while using their phones. If you are thinking about a new membership to any gym.... I strongly suggest Planet Fitness in Salem and if you choose "Black Card" membership ( way less than a dollar a day) you can go to any Planet Fitness in any town anytime and you can even bring a workout partner (guest) with you as often as you want or "every time" if you want FOR FREE!! If you are tired of paying $40 a month for gym memberships and an extra $7 to use a hydro massage or tanning bed or having to pay a "day pass" to bring a guest... come to Planet Fitness in Same and GET IT ALL for half the cost!

    It’s a gym. It has everything you need. I wish the space was used better. Barely a “stretch & abs” area but if you have the ability to warm up at home this is perfect. I didn’t see any employees cleaning equipment or the floors. I personally like the orange ave location. There’s space to not be interrupted, alot of room, super clean. Nun the less it’s a good backup gym

    I've visited this location a few times and was not disappointed. The manager Dez was very welcoming and friendly. Madison answered my questions with enthusiasm and encouragement. The gym was very clean and had plenty of options for me. I did not feel intimidated as a beginner at all.
