The Good: 1. I LOVE the workout tower, or whatever it is called. This makes functional workouts really easy, and prevents me from getting odd stares when I practice on the monkey bars at the local playground. To me this is and the other functional equipment (kettlebells, battle ropes, foam plyo boxes, etc.) are a main reason why I chose this gym. A rope climb would be nice, but I guess this is limited by space and liability. I like the rock climbing hold feature. Its really smart that they integrated a target for the wall balls. I could go on, but in short I really like every aspect of this feature! 2. The olympic workout tower and set up is a tremendous benefit at this price point. Really impressive set up with bumper plates and all. 3.. Employees are super nice and helpful. I feel bad for the personal trainers who seem to be lacking clients at the moment. The staff who lead classes are super enthusiastic; really more than could be expected given the circumstances. 4. The facility is very clean. Bathrooms are large and have showers. It is a nice looking gym in general. 5. There is a very good selection of equipment; Concept rowers (impressive), stairmasters, arc and elliptical trainers, a massive amount of treadmills, etc. The flip weight selection is genius, and so much better than the old pin system. All equipment is really high quality. 6. The half hour workout circuit is really helpful when pressed for time. 7. The hydromassage is really nice, and I havent had much problem with it being booked up yet. 8. Super close to my house, and convenient to several other stores. 9. $10 for basic membership and $20 for peak is dirt cheap given the facility. 10. Props for providing foam rollers. The Bad: 1. There are probably eight stations that have paper towels and cleaning solution, but ONLY ABOUT TWO TRASH CANS. Crunch PLEASE FIX THIS this simple request by putting a trash can under every paper towel station. I dont remember this being as much of a problem in the first week or two. There is no reason to have to walk halfway across the gym to throw out my paper towel. Its inconvenient, time consuming, and I think less people will clean equipment for this reason. 2. Its a slight pain having to get a voucher for every class you attend. I do understand that this allows them to have two separate pricing levels, and therefore remain competitive with ultra cheap gyms such as Planet Fitness. It probably also makes the classes less full, so I guess its also sort of a benefit. 3. They did a great job of maximizing space, but space is still limited. There is only one group fitness room, and therefore limited classes. Parking is also limited, although this hasnt been a massive problem thus far. 4. There is a lack of variety of classes compared to some gyms. I think this is limited to lack of space, the cheap membership price, and the gym trying to appeal to a very wide range of members. TRX is a nice touch, but it would be great to have spinning classes. Im not that in shape, but as my fitness level progresses I could see being a little bored. If youve ever been to a bootcamp style class, or especially six zone at the NAC or HAC you get the picture. 5. Towels are not provided, and there are not paper towels in the bathrooms. I also understand this is a limitation due to the size of the facility and the price. However, coming from a gym where workout and bath towels are provided, I really miss this. Its hard to wash your face without towels in the bathroom. This does keep things cleaner looking obviously. 6. People do not use the 1/2 hour circuit correctly; from the front to the back of the gym I believe. I guess the lack of a clock or numbering add to this. 7. There is not really a designated ab and stretching area. I guess the area with the turf carpet is for this, but it seems like a little bit of an odd choice for this purpose. Overall the gym is EXCELLENT given the price, and I am very fortunate to have it so close to my house. Nothing really comparable in the area.

What a treasure!!! I LOVE THIS GYM!!! Everyone there is very nice and extremely helpful (especially Julianna, who is there every day with a smile even at horribly early hours of the morning!!!) There is great variety of equipment, classes, its spotlessly clean, and its really close to me, so it gives me no excuse and Im really enjoying the way I feel after my workouts. Thank you Crunch!!!

Awful gym. Slaps you with $100 worth of fees within the first month. Meager selection and quantity of workout machines. Scheduled my free session with a PT without notification and I missed it, never got a second one. Inconvenient hours, I was prevented from working out at my leisure on at least 4 occasions. Go somewhere else and pay less for better quality.

Overall it is a pretty decent gym. Price is great. Good total amount of cardio machines. Average amount of free weights. Need to add more benches and overall space by the free weights. Would extend hours on weekends

Mike Bush

Has all the equipment. Por billing practiices. I was double billed and if i didnt complain. Crunch inc would not have alerted me or fixed the problem. Check yourcredit card bills for over billing by crunch.

Gym is clean and spacious. The staff is awesome! They have two power/squat racks plus a platform, and a prowler sled. If this is jibberish to you its a great weightlifting gym as well as great normal gym.

Irene Maguire

Great place! Fills a need since The Gym on Church Road closed. Staff are super nice and helpful. Changing room and showers kept clean and very tidy. Overall, a great place to work out!

Now, This is what a gym should be! Updated machinery, room to train, a clean and healthy atmosphere, especially if you like to work out early in the morning! And it is affordable!

Eli Santos

Not impressed.Overrated.I hope you have your chiropractor up-to-date because youre going to need it watching those TV staring at the ceiling with the strain on your neck.

You wont find a better gym for $10. I looked. Diversity in equipment. Helpful trainers. Clean facilities. I have paid a lot more and gotten a lot less. Very happy.

Too small not enough equipment. Youll waste more time here waiting to use equipment then working out. No matter what time you go.

Great Scott

Great gym. They have everything you need including classes. You can bring a guest anytime, too.

Lauren Capers
