Crunch Fitness - Baton Rouge

Just got around to this review. I paid beaucoup money to have personal training this past year. The personal trainers have zero communication skills. They promise a fitness plan and dietary plan, but don't deliver. My trainer constantly canceled on me at the last minute or changed things around where I had to move my schedule. I had covid and called to cancel a day before and they charged me for the session..Funny how, they can get away with canceling on me when I am walking in the door, but I call them them to prevent the spread of covid and they charge. If you want real personal training, I would take my business elsewhere. This is the worst personal training experience in my life. What a scam. Total waste of money. Layne was the trainer. Beware.

Nice layout but the staff is slow and incompetent. Also I have to assume that reracking weights is just not a part of Louisiana gym culture. No one reracks weights and the staff doesn't enforce it. I hardly seem them on the gym floor cleaning or anything either. The power has been out the past few days as well. I've been to crunch gyms all over the country and this one of the least taken care of imo

i had a membership for 3 years there, i left for a year because i was in the hospital when i came back one of the workers was shaming me for not being there for a while. i brushed it off but thats not okay and now she is a manager… mostly everyone is nice but she isn’t. canceled my membership and still going to be charged for august, never again. i love it at first just because it was 24 hours

I have been a member for about 5 months now. I love the group classes. I attend spin at least 3-4 days a week. Recently it has been extremely hot in the ride studio. You break a sweat before the class even begins. Clearly the AC is not working properly in the studio. There is one fan that is in use. There needs to be at 2-3 fans available. The ceiling fans seem to be set on the lowest setting as well. They gym floor and other studio is set at the perfect temperature.

With new management at the helm, I'm filled with anticipation about the positive changes they will bring to this gym. During my 7-day free pass, I had the pleasure of working out alongside a diverse group of individuals who all shared a common goal of prioritizing their health. What struck me the most was the importance placed on maintaining a clean environment.Having had the privilege of speaking with the management, I was relieved to discover that they were genuinely concerned about addressing the concerns raised by myself and other gym-goers. They expressed a strong commitment to making the necessary changes to ensure the gym is clean, sanitized, and safe for everyone.However, it's crucial to remember that as gym-goers, we also bear the responsibility of contributing to a clean and welcoming environment. This entails diligently cleaning the machines after use, promptly picking up any trash we come across, and taking the initiative to re-rack our weights. By collectively recognizing and acting upon the principle that our gym's cleanliness is our shared responsibility, we can create a space that truly fosters health and well-being for all.

The current water fountain situation could not be worse, unless there was no water at all.Respectfully, sincerely, and constructively, Crunch's current drinking water accessibility and quality is unequivocally inadequate for their gym's size in area, volume of members, and the high water demands inherent to a business in which people sweat. Without going into too much detail, its drinking water accessibility design is so flawed that, given the current operational status of their fountains, it is barely minimal. The regrettable conclusion is the factual observation that their water fountain situation could not actually be worse unless there was no drinking water at all.Worst of all, given the objectively terrible current situation, even if they aren't getting feedback about it, nearly EVERY member who has experienced it would agree; any argument to the contrary, any claim the situation is even remotely acceptable, whether by an administrator or member, would do a disservice to themselves, insult the other members, and deny the administration itself the truth and opportunity to hold themselves to high standard.Everything about Crunch deserves the great reviews here, except for a couple of things, most obviously their current accessibility to drinking water. I've just reported this problem at length in a feedback form of their website, but I want to post publicly to help them maintain the high standard to which I'm sure they hold themselves.EDIT: After reading some other reviews, I was not surprised to find some mentions of the water fountain issue. Those reviews go back as far as 10 months, which is an unfortunate sign of the degree to which Crunch values it's members and their feedback. Also, now I'm worried whoever does their review response relations will either try to deflect my argument with humor, or simply give me the boilerplate response they gave everyone else who they took complaints from about the water fountains and for 10 months never did anything about making them better.I think I'll get the boilerplate, because their water fountains are pretty much the biggest joke.Oh, and if you want more details, like you have requested from others, I can provide publicly the exhaustive description detailing how your gym's water fountains could literally not be worse... or you can just look it up through the online feedback for your store. But I'm guessing you're familiar with the problem, especially if you work at this location. In which case, I'm sorry. I hope you never forget your water bottle with delicious, cold water from home. I know I regret it every time I do, and I know every other member does too.

I loved coming to this gym at first. But the past 6 months every time I go in, there is at least 3 people with tripods and cameras recording themselves posing or doing squats. They take up huge sections of the gym and get huffy if you actually try to work out and use the boxing bags while they record themselves. Even had one girl get upset when I was in the bathroom washing my hands because she was taking pictures of herself in the mirror.

So far in terms of a gym its typical, large and machines and equipment is plentiful. I mainly decided on this gym due to the kidscrunch but the hours aren't really matching up with my needs. Please double check that they match up with yours before you sign up.

I signed up when they opened and it was a pretty straightforward process. There is quite a bit of equipment and the facility is certainly busy during prime time, but the wait for machines or treadmills is very limited, and I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait for a treadmill or a stairmaster. The facility is clean and well-maintained , hopefully it will remain that way and the staff is cordial and friendly. My only reservation is that occasionally during busy times, the paper towel dispensers to clean the equipment will be empty. But again, a tribute this to staffing difficulties, post Covid and the facility just being so darn busy. :-)

One of my favorite places to be. Great equipment so far. New pieces of equipment that most gyms do not have, i.e. a hip thrust machine specifically for glute growth. Nice lighting! Great open floor plan. Great amenities like child care and a recovery room. There's also a functioning sauna! They offer classes as well. I'm sure they'll offer more classes based off of class participation. My only complaint is so wishing they were 24 hours every day 😞. Also be prepared for a packed house during peak hours. That's expected with a new gym though. But no other complaints!
