Crunch

Great gym, wish it was bigger. During peak hours its still fairly easy to get a solid workout. Gym is clean both locker rooms and workout area. I would recommend seeing my trainer Bryan Balacio for reaching your goals! I trained with Bryan for 2 – 3 months and learned a lot working with him. I lost 30 LBS and dropped 5% Body Fat since joining his sessions.

So far so good! Been a member for two months now, peak member, middle tier. I’ve never had any problem with getting a machine any time I’ve come in, peak time or otherwise.
The downstairs is all treadmills, ellipticals, stair masters, and stationary bikes. Music playing, and many TVs on set to different channels if you want to catch up on news or a show during got workout. I’ve never had a problem with music being too loud, I put my own headphones on and there no issue hearing anything.
Locker rooms are always clean and neat. I’ve used the shower once, it was clean and would use again.
Upstairs is all the weight machines, free weights, and the studio for classes. I tend to stick to the Crunch circuit machines when you get to the top of the stairs. Always in working order, great condition. It can get very packed up here at peak hours, once 7pm hits, it’s a zoo. I come around 6:15 — 6:30 no problems, also, early morning weekends, and around 2−3pm weekends is very empty.
A couple issues:
1. Need to pay closer attention to paper towel dispensers. ESPECIALLY upstairs. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to clean a machine, and the dispenser is empty.
2. The water fountain downstairs that you can fill your water bottles with, needs a filter change or something. Water is bleh. Bring your own.
And this is just a PSA for members, please, PLEASE, show up wearing deodorant and clean (ish) clothes. I’ve had to completely leave areas and cut my work out short due to the extremely ripe smells of some people. I do understand we are in a gym, but if your odor is so rank that you’ve got a 6 foot smell radius surrounding you, there’s a problem, see a doctor or shower more frequently.

I’ve been going to this gym for about 2 months now. I have a personal trainer who is the bomb! He will get you to your goals no problem! Go in and ask for Rishi! Nice clean gym

Great gym, location and space. Would give it 5 stars BUT:
1: personal hygiene should be stressed there
2: re-​stacking the weights and re-​stacking the weights properly would be nice. (No organization which I think you make a newbie to a gym run away)
3. Employees working out during the busiest times of the day should be a no-​no. It’s already packed at night.
4. More ol’ fashion squat racks.

I’ve been coming to this gym for a few months now and I really enjoy it, whenever I go to use a machine it’s always available and clean.
I’m very happy with the cleanliness of the ladies locker room, it’s large and there are constantly women cleaning up and making sure nothing smells or is out of place.
Side note: I have been to several gyms in this area of queens and this one is so far the most reasonably priced. Memberships range from $ 10/​mn to $ 24/​mn
Every class I’ve taken I’ve fully enjoyed and I’m glad I selected the membership that allows me to take classes. I highly recommend the Pilates class and the 60 minute Zumba class. You’ll be sweating your butt off.
Be aware that the weight lifters are on the top floor and this area can get packed during the week around 8pm.
My only push back about the gym is: the class schedule on the weekends are minimal. Saturday classes are only in the morning and Sunday classes are only in the afternoon. I wish there were morning classes on Sunday’s as well. Also, since I get out of work after 6pm I can never make the 7pm classes during the week, hopefully they will hold later classes as the months go by.
All in all I am very happy with this gym and I’ll continue to go and get my work out on.

I am am a fairly new member. Started as of March 1^st. So far not too bad of a gym — and has the new feel for now given its only been open for a few months. It is kept fairly clean for the most part, however I notice during their peak hours, folks are not good with wiping off their sweat residue they leave on the equipment/​machines, so I find myself having to play housekeeper (just to avoid picking up unwanted germs not to mention be rid of the wet dog smell) in between my workouts. The women’s bathroom gets pretty filthy in the evening — but won’t go into the specifics, use your imagination. Also, the air quality is meh, and it could just be the a hygienic thing more on the members. My biggest complaint is the classes and the fact that it is a significantly small gym compared to the other giants I have been a member to. I look forward to classes and the past few times they are overcrowded and very short. The instructors however are great but chances are you won’t get in and if you do, consider bumping arms and feet with a neighbor. I downgraded my membership for this exact reason! It gets insanely crowded after work hours which is when I can only make it to the gym. It becomes discouraging when you have to find a tight space if you are lucky to warm up or do some free weights and freestyle workout regimen. The other complaint would be the weights and machine, it is very frustrating finding weights or accessories to some of the pull down /​row machines as many of the users do not put things where they got them — very inconsiderate. Not sure what can be done about some of the issues, since a lot of these are on the gym members and there is not exactly a floor patrol to keep those in check. Just some of the things to be mindful of when joining this particular location. So you are probably wondering why 3 stars! Well I must say that the staff is awesome and if I could write a separate review on the customer service and personal training, I would give them 4 – 5 stars. My personal trainer Rishi is very good at what he does! Like I said I am only 4 weeks in on my personal training program but I feel great and am seeing results … slowly. I prefer this slow pace so that I am not shocking my body and gaining more than I lost. He is a good motivator and helps me push myself to my limit. He is very knowledgeable of all the muscle groups and nutrition, I do have to argue with some of the portions he advises since I have a small appetite… but he listens to my crazy talk and is very patient which is a mega plus.

I plan on canceling as soon as my membership ends. The weight room is so crowded and underdeveloped that there is no point trying to use the upstairs facilities. The downstairs, which focuses on cardio, sounds like a nightclub with music so loud that you can’t listen to your own devices with headphones. Terrible all around.

It is a little hard to find the first time but it is always very clean and tidy. The staff is helpful and patient. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because some of the upper body work out machines are facing weird directions so I end up either staring straight at someone’s face or their behind. Not a huge deal but maybe rearranging some of the machines would make the upstairs portion less awkward.

By far the worst service I’ve ever encountered. I got the plan for $ 25 a month because it included the tanning. The tanning machine DOES NOT work. I complained about it numerous times they said they fixed it but I wasn’t getting any color. Anyways the gym is always packed… With guys. There’s no way you can workout on the second floor because men are scattered everywhere and no machine is ever available. I will not be attending this gym anymore.

This is by far the best gym I have been to! Since joining in January I have lost 20 pounds! The classes are fun and some are challenging, the equipment is always available and everything is always cleaned daily the staff are super friendly and nice. Another plus is the location the bus and train is right outside and it’s close to my home. If you thinking about taking classes tacica is one of the instructors for Zumba, butt belly and thighs and a number of different classes. Take her she is awesome ! Overall great experience !

I really like this gym! I am a member of the Utica ave one, so this was my first time coming to this one! Needless to say I am hooked! First off, it’s super clean, and spacious! I went around 5pm on a Thursday and it wasn’t too crowded so hopefully the rest of the days are also like that (ha wishful thinking right). Another plus, is that it’s close to the J train too so if you don’t feel like driving, you can always take the train. The locker room has showers and cubbies to put your belongings. Make sure to bring your own lock though! I will definitely return!

New gym and very clean. They have someone always there cleaning up. They have the hydro massage which is fantastic. However the only thing that was very annoying who was that on two different occasions the tanning bed was broken. I found that very odd Because it’s a brand new gym. Other than that it’s a good gym. Make sure you have plenty of quarters there’s mostly metered parking.

Nice and clean. Been going for a week now, I tried both really early in the morning and after work around 7:30pm, at night is crazy crowded. So i prefer going in morning. The schedules for the classes are impossible if you work on office hours, maybe during the weekend…
Staff is really nice, music is great, great location also.

So far so good. Been going to this gym every (week) day for 2 weeks. Everything is brand new and clean. The staff is nice and the music on the radio is perfect so don’t change it. Thanks.

So happy this location opened up.
Everything is new and clean. Doesn’t seem too crowded but that could be because it’s fairly new — but at $ 10 a month you can’t go wrong!

Disclaimer: I have only been twice so my review may change.
The facility is clean. The equipment is new. Thumbs up. Tons of cardio, I can’t imagine ever being stuck waiting for a machine however I go in the morning at non peak times. They have a decent amount of free weights, strength machines and I saw a few squat racks. I didn’t see kettle bells but I’m guessing I just missed them.
The class schedule is a little lacking but I was told they will be adding more classes over time. I was disappointed by how few women were on the floor with the strength equipment. If you’re looking for a gym without a lot of guys around go somewhere else or stay in the cardio room. However for the sake of your fitness I suggest you hang with the guys and give lifting a chance.
Overall I think this is a great value. Memberships as low as $ 10 a month and with no long term contract. My main wish is they would offer child care, this would open up their client base tremendously but to my knowledge no Crunch offers that. This may be the reason I cancel my month to month contract down the road.

Two things the gym should tell their members. 1. Personal hygiene WEAR DEODORANT. 2. Keep your headphones on no personal speakers.
They just dropped from 5 stars to 3 stars until they fix the above mentioned problems.
I know it’s new and everything is clean but it’s more than that. At least as of right now everyone actually puts their free weights back where they belong. It seems like a different breed of members here much nicer than planet fitness. Again as of now I can find my free weights where they actually belong and in order.

Seems cool so far. Today was their first day open. The flooring for the first floor entrance was still being laid down. The staff are nice people. Decent size gym. The equipment is brand new and the machines are pretty cool. From my past experience with other gyms, they’re probably gonna need more sets of the more popular dumbbells like the 25s, 30s and 35s. I think there were between 2 to 4 sets each, that’s gonna suck when it gets crowded. I did notice an empty dumbbell rack, maybe there’s more on the way. They could use some more signs too. The bathrooms weren’t labeled yet and I couldn’t tell which was an emergency exit or a normal exit. Overall it might be too early to give a good review, maybe they opened a few days too soon, but this is just to show what it’s like as of right now.
Update
So they put up some signs, that’s good! I noticed their windows can be opened up about 2 and a half feet by anyone. No lock or window rail. Right near the open floor area where people would be tossing medicine balls at each other. Seems dangerous, hopefully they fix that before someone has an accident.

I’m excited about this new gym that’s a walk away from me. They open at 5am which is rare for most gyms. All the machines are brand new, the gym spacing is nice (aerobic machines on 1^st floor and weight machines on the 2^nd) The gym is also well lit and nicely organized. They offer a few classes right now but the front desk mentioned that they’ll be adding more. Other things that stand out about this gym:
–They have convenient water machines with a bottle filler attached so that you can get strained water (This saves me a lot of money since I don’t have to buy bottled water before i get to the gym)
–The staff seems nice and accommodating, they’ve done a good job with hiring.
–The have a large selection of dumbbells, kettle balls, and weighted balls for everyone to use, (this equipment is not exclusively reserved for training sessions like at «24 hour fitness»)
–Machines here are better designed than then ones at many other gyms.
–Clean bathrooms on each floor, nice showers.
–The hydromassage is a nice perk, I got to try it out and I can see how beneficial it would be after a tough workout (Be aware that it’s deafening loud when the water goes by your neck and head), It’s smart to have ear plugs if you use it.
–Windows that look like they can be opened, this will be great for hotter months.
