Editorial Review for Crunch Fitness – by Ceci Chavez
The Scene
Swinging nightclub or a serious gym? It's hard to tell. Two floors of wall-to-wall, well-toned scenesters mingle and chat in between sets of bench presses. When not schmoozing, the hard bodies are glued to the banks of television sets throughout the gym.
The Details
The 28,000-square-foot gym features a lounge, a fitness-wear store and a treadmill area on the first floor. Upstairs is an expansive weight room with Hammer Strength, Icarian equipment and free weights. Don't expect privacy in the glass-encased aerobics room, where classes including ballet, mat Pilates, yoga and Cardio Striptease meet, much to the enjoyment of the gawking weightlifters. Locker rooms are clean and functional and include a sauna and steam room. Bordering the entry are semi-opaque, peek-a-boo shower stalls that offer silhouettes of bathing gym-goers.

I joined Crunch because it is the closest gym to where I live: for that convenience, I tolerate an absurd volume of music that plays most of the time, not to mention the choice of music, a disproportionate amount of hip hop and rap, in spite of the fact at least half of the patrons at any given time have their mp3 players on, cranked on high to hear over Crunch's speaker system. The machines at Crunch are limited. Some of the bigger chain gyms (Bally's and 24 hour fitness) have more machines. And space is an issue here because someone thought it would be great to put in punching bags and a boxing ring. I don't get it. Some of the trainers seem entitled and have their clients run up and down the only staircase thru general traffic; others have their clients skip rope in the middle of the gym. Be careful. Also at the front desk check in, there are large clothing racks that narrow the passage; it would seem to me safety is compromised by narrowing a main exit. Finally, the hours on the weekends were cut back an hour from 7am to 8am. When I asked management why, I was told that Crunch was remodeling. That was at least 3 months prior to any work being done... I would be very suprised if the old hours would be reinstated. This could be a nice gym; it has some good classes, but it needs to be managed in a way that doesn't make it so offensive.

I currently have multiple gym memberships in part due to constantly searching for the best instructor. My search has been completed when I started to take Colin K classes (Abs, Spin & Yoga). I have taken hundreds of spin classes and there are no other instructor that constantly change the music and drives each of the spinners to their best capability like him. His energy, motivation and dedication to always provide the best for his class is without comparison to any others. Defiantly take Colin K classes if you are looking for a challenging yet fulfilling workout. It’s like eating a potato chip, you can’t just eat one... You’ll get hooked, he is the best and don’t you deserve the Best in Life?!!
Pros: Colin K - No other like him
Cons: N/A
