    Track Season is HERE! Jasper is back with a D.O.G.S. special!

    Since 1998 Gallagher Fitness Resources has carried a complete lineup of Track and Field Footwear. Student-athletes, post-collegians and masters runners, start your shopping here. Specialty event shoes fit differently. You cannot try on a shoe when you shop online. Coaches, trainers, and experienced competitors trust the staff at GFR for the right advice, the right fit, and the best selection in Oregon. Coaches, trainers, and all student-athletes receive 10% off the regular price on their shoe purchases all year, every year.

    GFR's full lineup of track spikes (Sprints, Middle Distance, Distance) and specialty field event shoes (Shot/Discus, Javelin, Pole Vault, High, Triple, and Long Jump) are in stock. This year we feature the best from Nike, Saucony, Asics, Puma, and adidas.

    Browse the extensive line of track and field shoes we carry

    Look for marked down prices on last year's models. The prices are great, but the selection is limited!

    Hi! I'm Jasper! As Director of Greetings and Sales [D.O.G.S.] I put my dog brain to work to make this the best Track and Field season ever. I thought, hey, I have four legs. If I had to buy shoes for the upcoming track season I would need two pairs, right? Any track and field athlete knows you need a good training shoe AND that special event shoe to stay competitive and perform your best. Students and coaches always get 10% off regularly priced shoes at Gallagher's. I convinced the GFR staff to offer an additional 10% on that second pair.

    The March Jasper Special: Purchase a pair of training shoes AND a pair of track spikes or field event shoes. Get 10% off the first pair and 20% off the second pair. It's up to you to put them on your front paws or your back paws! Mention the Jasper Special and the discount is yours! Note: the greater discount will apply to the lower priced pair.


    Jasper has a D.O.G.S. special for everyone else too!

    My track special is a pretty good deal, but I knew not every customer runs track in the spring. We have a lot of great customers who will never lace up a pair of spikes. I didn't want to leave anyone out! My poor canine brain struggled so much to come up with something good, I needed to lie down! I drifted off to sleep. I rolled from side to side. I had a horrible dream about a squirrel that I couldn't catch. When I woke from my restless nap I thought - hey, people could use a nice deal on a pair of new socks to go along with their great new shoes from GFR. What a relief! I let the GFR Staff in on my idea and headed to the basement for some restful sleep!

    The March Jasper Special for non-tracksters: Purchase any pair of walking or running shoes and get $2 off any pair of socks in the store! Mention the Jasper Special and the $2 discount is yours! Offer good on one pair of socks only.

    Trigger Point Classes Resume in April

    Trigger Point Technologies - TP Therapy Tools

    Upcoming Trigger Point Classes at GFR

    In the Trigger Point class, you get educated through a better appreciation of which muscles are tight and how to release them for better performance. We address common running conditions like IT Band Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, Piriformis Syndrome and more. We provide a way for you to take care of yourself by creating elasticity in the muscles and treating the cause of a problem, rather than just the symptoms. You'll perform at a higher level and minimize the aches and pains and conditions that steer you off the path toward your goals. TP Therapy Link

    When: Monday, April 19th 6:15-7:30pm
    Registration Deadline: 6pm Friday, April 16th

    Class Size: limited to 12
    Cost: $25.00 - Must be received by registration deadline
    Location: Gallagher Fitness Resources, 135 Commercial St NE - Downtown Salem

    Questions: 503-364-4198 or email Susan@ActiveSalem.com

    John and Susan believe you can accomplish things you never thought possible. When training for distance events, we guide you toward your goals, but you do the work. From time to time, aches and pains occur and whether you're a beginner or a veteran it's not always easy to know when to push through the discomfort and when to back off. Each time you return from a set-back, whether short-term or extended, you learn something new and gain more knowledge in how to deal with it the next time around. We believe this learning process, this "runner's education" is vital to personal improvement.
