Awesome coaches, helpfully inclusive for anyone at any fitness level. And it's the right kind of addictive. Facility is great but it's the people (coaches and clients) that make this place great.

This is the longest I have stuck with any fitness program since high school. I absolutely love this Box. Brandi and Steve have cultivated a community of supportive hardworking people that push you beyond what you thought was possible. I'd recommend Crossfit IronSpider to everybody and anybody who asked (or didn't). Just in love! More...

In the past 8 years of my time in Crossfit, I've lived the life of a Nomad. I've been a member to more boxes I can remember, coached a few athletes, and met so many awesome people in my journey. I moved into Salem because of work and had to find a box to stuff myself in. If you want to get my bottom line, then skip my review to the last paragraph. Otherwise I'll break things down to the following: Coaching, Programing, Facility, Climate. These are the facets that make up a Crossfit gym.

Coaching and staff: The coaching staff is stellar, they are always watching and ensuring that members are safe, extremely knowledgeable, provide guidance to improve, they are encouraging, and concerned for the well being of the members. This is one of the few, boxes I've ever been to that will genuinely ask you how you're feeling, and not in a motherly way. More of a friendly way making sure that your comfortable with the movements and Wods. The coaching staff is the foundation of any Crossfit gym and I say that Crossfit Iron Spider is resting on solid bedrock!.

Programing: This is the meat and potatoes that develop the athlete. Some boxes will lean towards movements like Olympic lifting and some will lean towards gymnastics or strength. The core of their programing it seems to me is primarily balanced the way it should be. Daily Wods involve Strength and Metcon that will challenge you. There is plenty of variety and sometimes off the wall stuff that will keep you on your toes.

Facility: The gym is big with ample room and there's a lot of great qualities about it. First everyone wants to know what the bathrooms are like. Well, this is one of the few gyms I've been to that has showers! Three of them to be exact! The men's bathroom (I haven't been to the ladies locker room sorry) has plenty of room to move around complete with two toilet stalls and one urinal. Now on the the equipment. They use a Rogue Infinity rig and have several Oly stations for those of you what want a solid floor to work on. This is also one of the first gyms I've been to where all the rowers actually work! Good on them maintaining their ergos! I've haven't had to share my equipment or break down the Wods in heats just yet so there's plenty of toys to go around for everyone. The only thing that bothers me about the facility is the entrance of the facility. When there's a run involved in a Wod the entrance/egress is a bottleneck and has a case of metal stairs. a maximum of 2 people can pass through the door so it can be a challenge at times. Last of all parking, yes it can be a major concern but not here. Plenty of parking for all. Right outside the door!

Climate: Every Crossfit gym has a pulse, and Crossfit Iron Spider is no exception. It's friendly here and everyone I've met here is very supportive. There is also a collection of awesome athletes so if you're looking for some friendly competition, you'll find it here.

If you're curious about Crossfit and want to give it a try, or if you're a veteran athlete, and you want to be challenged then look no further. If you live in Salem or in the surrounding towns, it's a no brainer. You wont be disappointment and it may help change your life. Crossfit Iron Spider is one of the best gyms I've been to! More...

I stopped by as a drop-in yesterday. I live in Portsmouth, NH but this box is close to some important people in my life. Gianni walked me through a workout during open gym which was great! I was prepared to work out by myself just dropping in, but Gianni clearly wanted to be helpful, connected, and motivating! More...

Brandi is wonderfully motivating. She makes sure that working out is for everyone, not just for the "gym types". I love the different get fit monthly contests they run. They have helped a lot of people kick start a new lifestyle. More...

I've been attending this box ever since it first opened up and I have to say it has become a second home for me. The people who attend the classes are like family to me and the community as a whole is strong, welcoming and very humble. The coaching staff has helped me grow over the past couple of years and their ways in making sure form is correct and that the movements are done right first before tackling the heavier lifts and prescribed movements is an example that all CrossFit boxes should follow. Love this box and recommend anyone who wishes to get into CrossFit to come here. More...

I started working out at this CrossFit gym back in December of 2017 and its been an awesome experience. I did not know what to expect and knew nothing about weight lifting when I started working out at Iron Spider, but the coaches/fellow members made me feel comfortable and right at home when I started. If you don't feel like doing CrossFit everyday, they also have great boot camps and CrossFit Engine workouts as well as a few other programs. I run a lot of races over the year, and the Tuesday/Thursday morning Engine workouts are a great place to get in some speed/hill work as well as mixing in some core strengthening workouts. I see myself working out here for a long time. More...

Couldn't have had a more positive experience here!

Dropped in while in town for a wedding and everyone (both the owners and members) were beyond friendly and welcoming. The WOD was awesome (adapted from a regionals workout) and facilities were incredible -- easily 3x the size of an NYC box, and maybe 1.5-2x the size of a typical large/mid size city box. Steve (owner) even spent extra time afterward helping me with my ring muscle ups. Will look forward to hopefully coming back here soon! More...

Fantastic experience visiting CrossFit IronSpider while staying in Massachusetts. We stayed in Boston, chose to visit Salem specifically because the staff at IronSpider responded to our correspondence. Friendly, welcoming, inclusive, encouraging, responsive to scaling, EVERYTHING that CrossFit represents is what you can expect to find here. The owners invited us on a nighttime cruise happening that evening. If you have never tried Crossfit or you are looking for a home box we suggest you give CrossFit IronSpider a go. If we lived here, this place would totally be our new home. 5  experience. More...
