Salem – The Gym

THe northwest’s fastest growing gym

ABOUT WCS SALEM

When we opened our first gym in Salem, Oregon, we knew it had to be different.

It’s easy to see that most gyms are the same, but when you step into West Coast Strength, you know it’s unique. In an industry saturated with generic gyms and franchised fitness centers, we stand out in every way. The equipment, facility, design, staffing, and membership experience make our gym unique and a head above the competition. WCS is stronger than a gym; it’s a community and a family.

Our priority is helping you become the best possible you. In helping others, we’ve promised to continually evolve our business to better serve our members. While we aim to remove the unnecessary fluff from our gym, we double down on our strengths to provide a premium product for people who want and need the real deal.

Our obsession with being the best is no secret. We want our members to know they belong to the gym with the best equipment, facility, staff, and service!

Everything a gym should be and more

GYM AMENITIES

Our experience and passion for fitness led us to create and design one of the most unique gyms in the country.

We’ve handpicked the best equipment and combined that with a positive culture that inspires growth and change.

From our Founder Alex Whitaker: “In the past, I’ve regularly jumped from gym to gym to use the right equipment or just to find the right vibe. When opening this gym, I wanted one facility with all the right things in all the right places. Even something as simple as our layout is designed specifically to maximize your return on effort and ensure the best results”.

MEET THE Founder

ALEX WHITAKER

Previously the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Western Oregon University, I’ve coached some of the world’s top competitive athletes and bodybuilders. My clientele has ranged from collegiate, professional, and Olympic level athletes, as well as general population clients looking to achieve lasting results.

My background as a coach is what led me to create this amazing gym. As a coach and a gym owner, I want to provide people with a gym and services that meet their needs and exceed all expectations.

Now the fastest growing gym in the Northwest, West Coast Strength has become something bigger than I ever imagined. I’m so proud of our business. We’re creating something stronger than a gym, and I want everyone to see and experience this wonderful place.
