Courthouse Club Fitness - Lancaster

Beautiful exterior, beautiful interior, beautiful people.

I was visiting Salem yesterday and wanted to get a workout in for the day and opened my phone to discover this gym.

Upon arrival, I was a little lackluster to see how "small" the gym as compared to other ones I have been to. Oh, how wrong was I to judge a book by its cover. The doors at the entrance into the building are freaking automatic. Some may say, "Who cares?" Well, I do! Because having those doors not only shows the level of quality of the gym but do you know how freaking inconvenient it is to hold the door open for people when enter or exiting a gym?

Anyways, I was surprised to see how nice the person was behind the front desk. I never caught her name, but the customer service I received was 100x better than the people I have dealt with at 24 Hour Fitness, L.A. Fitness, and Portland State University. The questions I had about the gym were answered kindly and I was even offered to be given a tour around the facility as well!

The gym is huge. If you look at the photos I posted of the entrance, it's a lot bigger than it looks in real life. Now, I'm not going to be a fanboy and completely bias. The interior of the gym may be spacious and wide, the number of equipment and machines the gym had was disappointing considering the price that you pay for a membership is $62 a month. The weight room contains only two power racks that are also used for bench pressing as well. There are two more power racks, but they are in the personal trainer room and can only be used if there is no session in progress. The machines are fairly new, they use the same kind of machines that Planet Fitness uses. There is a decent amount of treadmills and stationary bikes in their own separate rooms, but not much more cardio machines when compared to commercial gyms like Planet Fitness and L.A. Fitness.

The last part I want to mention is the community. The community is AMAZING. The employees and the members I have spoken to were are too friendly. I don't know if it's because people in Salem are super nice or if it's the vibe coming from the gym itself, but I was blown away. The niceness is on par with Planet Fitness and Hyatt Hotel gyms, and hundreds of miles beyond better than 24 Hour Fitness, L.A. Fitness, and Portland State University.

Overall, I was very pleased with my visit and workout at Courthouse Fitness and I would highly recommend all my friends and family to try it out.

Great gym. Great people. The sauna is currently at 140 degrees tho if someone could come fix it. 180-200 would be a miracle at this point.

A welcoming place to enjoy the journey to better health with assistance as needed to build relationships and embrace victories, small or big or encouragement when we take the inevitable step back! Great team of understanding, non-judgmental people!

I visit this gym at least 6 times a week at various times of the day and absolutely LOVE every time I go in there. The environment is inviting. The staff members are always attentive. The managers are down-to-earth, personable people that often walkthe gym areas and make meaningful conversation and relations with the members. Fun is always an opportunity with the groupx classes, the various spaces for exercise (even during the remodel) and the communities that surround them. If you are an independent trainee, people are friendly and accommodating to treat each other with common respect here. Anyone that doesn’t feel welcome here is due to any negative energy or character behavior that makes them feel inferior. This is THE PERFECT GYM!! And it’ll be even better with the new upcoming remodeled areas 🔥
Come to first Friday of the month mornings for Gluten-Free Protein Muffins and Coffee!!

We love our memberships to Courthouse fitness club. Our first time at Lancaster location - it’s currently getting a $4.5 million dollar remodel so a lot seemed off limits - the pool and hot tub for sure was not available to enjoy yet we enjoyed the open court for my son and I to play basketball - he kept dunking on me!

Wonderful experience. Nice, clean facilities. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would recommend. And they are waiving the sign up fee this month (July, 2023) so, I would go if you want to workout or hit the spa(jacuzzi),sauna or pool. They offer classes also in various fitness activities.

Pleasant staff, well equipped gyms and an excellent pool and hot tub!!

Staff members are all so welcoming & always happy to help or answer any questions you may have. This is my favorite location!

Updated Review!

I have changed my review to a 5 star rating as the issues raised were quickly resolved and the gym is back to being clean and an amazing place to workout! Thank you team courthouse fitness and thank you Drew for your quick resolution! Would 100% recommend this gym!!

This gym used to be super clean! Unfortunately it has been like this for a long time now and before construction started. We get it that the location is under construction but whoever is the cleaning crew needs to be re-trained or replaced. The white cloth was after one wipe of the barbell. The staff are really nice and friendly and deserve a 5 star. Would recommend if the location was cleaner.

[Response: Okay, Drew, I didn't know I could still use the spin bikes even when a class is in session. Good to know! 5 stars for me then.] It is not a bad place. I think it's $65/month for access to all locations and every location has a pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi with locker rooms. $5/month for a personal locker. $30/month to use the kid's place for 2 hours max per day. The Keizer and West location have outdoor pools where the kids swim in a lot. They have Kickboxing, Yoga, Jui Jitsu, Spin classes, and personal trainers.

I give this place 4 stars mainly because I think the Cycling Bikes there should be some outside of the spin classes because when I'm off work classes are always in session during the times I want to use the cycling bikes. There is also a $5/month fee to use my credit card instead of my banking account which isn't too big of a deal to me, since I read reviews of them not wanting to cancel accounts. These Courthouse Club Fitness places seem okay so far and I'm able to keep to myself without anyone bothering me, which is really what I like in a gym is to be left alone to relax then leave. LOL.

Pool is too warm, which is expected as it is used for water aerobics. However it is very rarely busy in the facilities and the exercise equipment is in amazing shape. Great staff, and you can always get the equipment you want.

** Update!!! Great remodel with even more equipment and a brand new pool. Sick!!

I love the friendly environment of Lancaster courthouse! The people and employees are great 👍. I've been a regular at the club for about 2-3 years now. I loved it so much I became an employee there. My bosses and now co-workers are amazing 👏 🙌. You really can't go wrong with choosing this place.

The staff and trainers genuinely care about you, your workout and health. Group classes are fun! If I miss a class people notice. I have gained more than strength here. I have gained friends.

From indoor/pools to personal trainers, this gym had it all. It definitely has a "high quality" feel to it compared to other gyms. On first sign up we started with a free body scan and a free meeting with a personal trainer; The staff are so helpful and so accommodating!

First and foremost, this place is 100% COVID-19 safe. Everyone wears face coverings, including during vigorous exercise. All the staff are awesome, ultra clean facility, and fabulous pool. I couldn't be happier with Courthouse!! I would totally recommend this place to anyone wanting to work-out in a safe environment.

I’ve been a member for just over 2 years. I came to Lancaster Courthouse because I needed help, couldn’t progress on my own, had not been in a gym since the 80’s, and was hesitant. I didn’t expect the high a level of attention and professionalism. Assessments and adjustments to my training happen often. I like the trainers (Ryan, AJ, Rosie) knowing who I am and how to push me. I like the management (Phil) and staff greeting me when I walk in, encouraging me when I work, and helping me feel accomplished when I walk out. Phil (Mgr.) and Ryan (Head Trainer) have even given friendly personal challenges in my workouts to add motivation. I like feeling at home.

Great staff and clean gym! You can see the staff cleaning the gym while you work out. It’s a much better change than from the gym I used to go to where you never saw the equipment cleaned even once and everything seemed to have a layer of grime on it.

A bit expensive but you get what you pay for. Always clean both in and out of gym, equipment is always up-to-date and the water leaves your skin and face soft and gentle. Overall great place to let go of steam in a healthy way.

Thank you for standing up against the government for the fitness community. Sadly, while you they were trying to shut you down, they were trying to figure out how to open the borders during the middle of Covid-19. The government proved their politics is more important than the health and sanity of Americans.

always friendly front desk people, Clean lockers, we'll kept pool area. Other than I would like to see them open later on weekends. I thinks it's a wonderful place.
