Crunch

«No Judgement Zone» should be rewritten to «No one cares zone.» The simplest issues go unresolved. Dirty changing rooms, staff that bullies and judges, inconsistent air conditioning and a corporate staff that does not respond to customer service complaints or address issues reported.

This was a great gym a year ago! It used to have the best cardio equipment and very clean. I am not sure if this gym has sold or has new management (not that you will ever see a manager, EVER) but there seems to be high turnover there. The front desk lady in the morning obviously hates her job. You can feel the negativity and it never used to be this way. Also, if the board of health were to go in, Crunch would not receive good marks. Sinks and toilets look like they have gone months without anyone cleaning them.
The bathrooms can (and do) go a long time without being cleaned. Soap is a treat and over the past few months, it has gotten worse. The treadmill deck was the best around. Not anymore. You see people playing treadmill roulette to find a working one. I have reported several broken machines for over 3 months and keep being told they will fix them. Apparently they have no interest. So I will follow many other members who have left out of frustration and join one of the MANY gyms in the area.
Keep your $ and put it towards a beer. You will enjoy it more!!!

Visiting from out of town so we were really happy to find this Crunch gym was so BIG and so friendly. Huge free parking lot out front. Well lit, clean, state of the art equipment– and air conditioned (it was in the 90’s outside) Lots of free weights and benches. TRX straps, those HUGE monster tires (if you’re so inclined), the ropes, lots of stretching space with mats, and kettle bells. Rooms for classes. Very clean locker room. Props to the front desk people– Victoria and Victor. Really friendly and welcoming. You don’t always get greeted that nicely when you walk into a gym, esp when you’re just there for a day pass. Made us feel like family. really appreciated that. We’d definitely go back!

Clean. Good variety of equipment. Friendly. Non-​intimidating atmosphere. Close to my house in Wilton Manors & 43Urban Village Live + Work Townhomes on 43td street. Low membership fees. Great addition to east Oakland Park and Wilton Manors.

The greatest workout environment, always clean, great front desk attendants, Truth is I am not a gym person however I manage to get up at 5 am to visit the gym M-​F. I would recommend this gym to anyone that is serious about getting fit.

This is a great gym for $ 10/​m and whatever annual fee you’ll pay. Very well equipped and no nonsense. Gets a little crowded at times in the free weight area but oh well. Staff is incredibly friendly. Clientele seems to skew older and gayer, so if that bothers you, you might want to look elsewhere. My only complaint is that there is only one squat cage so you occasionally have to wait for it. But bottom line, I don’t think you could ask for more for your money.

I almost did not check this gym out because of the poor Unilocal reviews, but I noticed the reviews were not from Unilocal Elites or were written by people who had offered one or few reviews. One of the requirements of being an elite member is posting a photo of yourself. Owning your words. After visiting and joining today I would say this gym was attacked by some firm hired to hurt the competition of some other local gym. Crunch Fitness is a four star gym. If it had a pool and steam room it would be a five star gym. I was impressed with the large safe parking lot, the bright look of the gym when I entered and the friendly staff. Jennifer was awesome. No pressure, just quickly signed me up, provided a full tour and if you like free suntanning, this is the place. I found the equipment to be as good or better than any gym I have used. I did have trouble with one of the stationary bikes, but equipment breaks when you have a lot of wear and tear… no need to say that Crunch Fitness is a bad gym because a piece of equipment needs repair. Just glancing at all the people using the equipment, the vast majority of it works just fine. I liked the 30 minute Crunch workout. The showers are very clean. Each shower is an individual stall. My only suggestion is to ask if a person wants to see a trainer for a complementary work out, don’t force the situation. Everyone comes to a gym with different needs and if they need a trainer, they will ask. Anyway, this place for the money is worth it. They have a large classroom with fifty different classes offered each week. I would say the cliental mix was 80% men and 20% women at mid-​morning on a weekday.

After reading all the prior Unilocal reviews, I went in to just look around the place myself (will likely sign up next week). My alternative was way over on Federal Hwy, a bit out of the way for me to use often. I went in the middle of the afternoon and everything seemed great, and w/​o any big sales pitch (which I was expecting). Men’s locker room and showers were nice, clean and well kept. Equipment was clean and all seemed to be in good order. Looks like a nice setup (but will update after I have first hand use for a few weeks just to be sure). Don’t be so quick to write this place off, I was expecting the worse, and it was quite a surprise.

Horrible gym they make it so difficult to cancel your membership, not even worth the 10/​month

Hands down best massage I’ve ever hard.
His touch is like no other. From the second he put his hands on me I felt relaxed and in good hands. As the massage continued I was very grateful to know that I have a awesome therapist right down the street from me.
Will is amazing. Must try

Very happy joined the gym. No pressure. Friendly patrons.Never too crowded. They have lots of free classes. Wish they had a steamroom. Manager Suzie is very motivated and upbeat.

Very clean. I live within walking distance and was one of the first to join. My partner and I took a boot camp and we loved it. Well, I mean, I loved it. Great gym. Clean facility. friendly staff but not pushy sales sharks. Highly recommended.

I signed up and it took months & months to open. Finally opened, now it’s out of my way from home and work. A total waste of time signing up and now its a big hassle to cancel the membership. Simple and easy to become a member online, wait months because they didnt open on time (by a lot) and now a late fee since my card expired and they cant get their $ while I am attempting to cancel.
I basically paid crunch for a year for only a couple months of use. Not to mention I see a lot of people using machines and NOT cleaning them afterwards, EW GROSS!!!

I joined crunch hoping for a great gym since so many here in ft lauderdale just don’t seem to care about their members. Well in one year it went from wonderful to sad. The equipment constantly breaks, the cleaning guy at night leave the men’s room in disgusting condition, the sales persons of Ellis and Suzy are downright rude. The only redeeming quality is the front desk personnel who are cheerful and professional although the turnover is out of control. It’s not s great gym but what do you expect for $ 10/​mo
Well after messaging back and forth with the owner and here I thought I would just be speaking w them to make the gym a better place I was confrontation ally kicked out for having the audacity to «write a bad review of this gym on social media». Wow. I will never ever recommend this gym ever. Unbelievabl

Used to love working out here with my training partner until today when approached by Susie. Since my training partner is also a trainer she told us we could not finish our workout… VERY unprofessional!!! It’s apparent that they can’t keep trainers as it’s been a revolving door since I joined last year. I guess when the trainers are working out mid day themselves taking up equipment without clients they may need to find something for them to do. They do not appear to be veteran experienced trainers either.
Cancelled my membership, I’d prefer to pay more than deal with that nonsense in an environment that doesn’t understand how to gain and keep members.

A great clean gym with friendly staff. Love to work out here never have to wait in line for machine or for weights and has a great CrossFit section.

Very disappointed for the 2^nd time Crunch gym managers allowed a female into the men’s room to do cleaning while men are in there. For the 2^nd time I brought it to Jim the Assistant manager’s attention and he just had a smirk on his face and no comment what so ever. First of all it is sexual harassment to the employee and second of all most men don’t want to be naked In front of a woman. So pissed with them!
The assistant manager is Jon. That was a typo. He knows me cause I went to him. The kid who is bald with glasses need customer service training.

Very very offended by this gym. I am a female on vacation and I had driven around to about 5 gyms before I found this one. The sign outside said $ 10/​month, no contracts, no judgements. I understand that it is amidst a gay community, but I was not expecting such sexist treatment. The receptionist, Tim, tried to charge me $ 50 for a month since I am here temporarily, while I am sure a man would have been given a CONTRACT-​FREE $ 10 month pass.
Very rude sexist service.

I spoke to the owner of the gym about my concerns, he was willing to listen and seem genuinely interested in my concerns about the gym. He and the manager (which I also spoke to), said they would address the issues to the best of their abilities and try to fix the problems.
Made me happy to hear that business owners actually care about each individual customer.

I moved to the area in January and immediately set out to find a gym. After shopping around and talking to a few locals I chose to join Crunch.
Pros: $ 20/​mo, big facility, new equipment. Even during peak hours it’s possible to get a good workout in.
Cons: Staff is decidedly unfriendly on check-​in. Not enough equipment given the space. More benches would be very welcome.
You would think check-​in would be straight forward. Eye-​contact, hi, swipe the member’s FOB. But consistently I feel like I’m inconveniencing the staff by having them check me in. What’s even more odd is that they very professionally say «Have a nice day!» on the way out. If only they would make eye-​contact and say «Have a good workout» on the way in.
The crowd is a mix of gay & straight, men & women, young and old. I go to the gym to workout and not to socialize so this fine by me.
Their equipment is top-​notch, but they could definitely use more of the basics such as benches in front of the DB racks and more squat racks.
They have fairly few classes which is actually great for me because the studio is usually very under utilized.
Conclusion: Good value overall, not too crowded. Front desk people could use a little incentive to be more welcoming on check-​in. A few more simple benches, barbells would be great.
