Crunch Fitness - Avondale

Decent fitness center for the average Joe, but if you're a serious weight lifter/bodybuilder on vacation looking for a quick workout or two (like myself) I wouldn't recommend. Yes they dumbbells and some cable variations, but the other equipment is pretty awful.

The gym floor is nice apart from it being a bit unorganized everyday. The bad part of the gym is the locker rooms. The bathroom part of it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks, smells absolutely awful and is stained with others waste… I like the gym itself but I could never use their restrooms because of how filthy it is…

Definitely not like other gymsThat’s for sure but ima keep going back though.It’s not as crowded as other gyms and everything is spaced out I love that it opens up at 4. I do like that males/females each have their own sauna. The cardio equipment is on point they have lots of treadmills different bikes and lots of stair masters. Usually a gym only has like 2 stair masters and you’re stuck waiting. lots of weights and squat racks along with cable areas.NOW why 3 stars first the cleanliness which are in most of these reviews is NOT like any other gym. Yea you’ll see a associate pick up a paper towel here or there but I don’t know if they have a crew that comes and clean or they do it themselves it’s just looks ehhh. Other gyms you see someone constantly walking around just wiping down equipment here not so much. Yes there’s spray and paper towels for you to clean it yourself as you should EVEN if it’s “already” been clean. They also have like a few hand sanitizer machines one in the locker room and by the front desk. I think some should be through out the gym.They also have classes out in the open where you can see them and hear them it is a bit of an awkwardness never seen some like that usually it’s in a room .

I started coming to this gym when it first opened up at the Gateway Plaza and it was a great gym it's first year, but has sadly gone down hill since. I understand no gym is perfect and they will always have their issues, but The Avondale Crunch's biggest problem is its terrible cleanliness. From the gym floor to the locker room, weights (plates) are never organized, you have to hunt for plates from other machines. Locker rooms are just nasty, the showers look trashy and only have 2 settings, hot or boiling, infact the showers are hotter than the sauna, just stand outside it works better than their "sauna", if you want an actual sauna experience the Gilbert location is spot on. No one cleans or wipes the inside of lockers so you keep checking til you find a cleaner one and don't even get started with toilets and urinals, I've seen cleaner at bars.But with all that said it's other problem is the demographic of people that come through, alot of people who have no respect for the gym and it's machines or even its other members, then theres people who sit on the machine while on their phone as they edit their instagram picture/post during the busy times of the day, or even groups of people who set up whole light and camera equipment and hog a squat rack for hours.To its advantage the Avondale Crunch is located at a very popular location but that's how it's attracts its demographic, the location is just out growing its small space.I personally bounce in between the Avondale and Phoenix locations, I prefer and recommend the Phoenix location as it does not have these problems but the Avondale location is closer to me.Fortunately it's got great and friendly employees who work there and will happily help you out with anything, their friendly attitudes are uplifting and motivating, it helps keep the gym alive.This review is just a friendly reminder to all who contemplate coming/joining, take this with a grain of salt and weight out your pros and cons. And NO MATTER what gym you join or location take care of your gym, keep it clean, put the weights back, wipe the machines down and help keep things organized. The cleanup is part of the workout.I'm still gonna go to Avondale Crunch cause at the end of the day regardless of everything, we just gotta shut up and lift weights.

I love this gym! I have gone to a lot of gyms where there are judgmental and rude people, however everyone at Crunch is so friendly and helpful-staff and members. Even when I accidentally joined a fast paced Spanish speaking Zumba class and I was the only one that didn’t understand, everyone was so patient and nice. It does get busy during normal peak hours so good luck getting a squat rack then, but most times of the day all of the equipment is open and available. Veryyy few people forget to rerack their weights. Most people are very respectful of other peoples time and space. I haven’t needed help from the staff often but when I do they are helpful.

Time and time again, I have been told that the ONLY way I would be able to cancel my membership is to come in person. So I've paid my monthly fee for years due to my lack of follow through and inability to go there in person (I'm disabled). So I decided to try again as I just can't keep paying.I sent 1 email to request assistance. As of today, 24 hrs later, my issue is resolved. I can't say enough how much relief this has given me.As I said, I'm disabled which is why I requested to end my membership. I used my membership for Fitness One Gym. They were a great organization. Gym was always very, very clean. Plenty of equipment. Most all of the staff was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable.

I lived in Arizona for an Internship during the majority of Summer 2022, and my housing was locally in Avondale. My friend took me here on my first day out in AZ, and I am so happy she did.My experience at this health club was extraordinary and I mean it when I say - it truly taught me to love fitness again! It really does hold the "no judgement zone" mantra it promotes, and I had great experience with all of staff at the facility. Everyone was always super welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Machines/equipment was also always well up-to-date and high quality.10/10 recommend. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back.

The staff are pretty nice. The facilities and equipment have all been fairly clean. They have quite a selection of machinery and workout areas to choose from. I’d imagine it’s probably not the best choice for someone with tons of experience such as body builders but for the average person I think it’s great. Not really sure what it’s like during peak hours, but I’ve been told it never gets too packed even then. Hopefully they continue to provide the same great service as I’m currently very content with this membership.

The covid has destroyed the fitness gym experience ie... No swimming pools jacuzzies and limited equipment due to social distancing. Dear god heal us of this deadly contagion!

Can't even cancel , staff is also not noligibel in regards to their products/ vitamins. When asking a question their repose was to take a picture and take its across the street to ask the vitamins store for assistance. Lol that place is a joke.
