Who We Are
Kamikaze Iron Gym was founded on the fact that gyms are not what they used to be. Somewhere along the line gyms became soft, got complacent. We were sick of it, so we created one. Kamikaze decided to choose a path less traveled and build an experience that motivates and inspires.
We are the dreamers, builders, motivators, and fighters. This place we created is not just a gym, its your battlefield. Are you ready?
The Gym.

The Fundamentals
Bodybuilding
Kamikaze Iron Gym was created by IFBB pro bodybuilder Jerry Braswell. The focus was to bring specific elements to our gym that would create the ideal environment for bodybuilders to thrive in. Kamikaze Iron is equipped with the largest variety of gym equipment in Salem. We know that the key to success is having the necessary tools at hand. Building and investing in the future generations of bodybuilders is what we are all about.
Strongman/Woman
Our Strong Man training area is ran by one of the top Strongman lifters in Oregon, making it an optimal place to train. We have dedicated an entire area in our gym named, "the Cage". Wrapped in industrial fencing, The Cage houses our serious weights; multiple deadlift and squat platforms; several bench press areas; while also boasting specific machines geared to get you ready for Strongman competitions.
Powerlifting
"The Cage" is a 3500 sq ft area equipped with custom gold painted steel dumbbells, ranging from 100 - 200lbs. This area was designed for our members to hit PR's and lift massive weight. Powerlifting will be an essential part of Kamikaze Iron. Motivated yet?
Events
Kamikaze Iron will be a main hub for the bodybuilding and fitness community in Salem, Oregon. Our focus is to open our doors to lifting competitions; educational and posing seminars for bodybuilding; and host numerous events that will help influence the growth of bodybuilding. Our focus is a bit different here.
