Crunch Fitness - Aloha

I love the "no judgement" slogan. I'm only in there a few times a week, only 30-60 minutes apiece, and I'm not in shape. But I gotta start somewhere, and I honestly never feel judged. Nice machines, nice people. I'd recommend this gym to friends.

Walking distance from home makes it much easier for me to stick to 4 to 5 days a week. I have a bit of a love/ strong dislike of some things here,which can change simply based on what time I arrive. There are times I can walk in,breeze through that day's routine without delay,and be on my way. There are some "regulars" that I've actually noticed and picked up some good exercises for my routines. The cleaning staff is very thorough and the hydro massage chairs/table are a wonderful perk.There are also times that I feel like I've been time warped back to high school. There are far too many people that treat equiptment as a couch to sit and surf their phones. Staff should make an effort to walk around more and nicely remind people if it's busy that someone could be waiting for the equiptment. There are also a few "everyday is arm day" guys that clearly love to strut around trying to be noticed. That gives my eyes a workout because it certainly makes me roll them a lot.As for staff,the desk isn't very friendly. The greeting and goodbyes fell off a few months in.Not looking for friendships,so whatever, I guess. As stated earlier they should be checking the floor more and standing still less. This Sunday the gym was down to 2 paper towel dispensers that had towels. Rediculous to let supplies run out. My last frustration is that this facility does not seem to prioritize fixing broken equipment. 5 days is pretty common to see things with signs.The pros of a close, clean gym that gives me the workouts I need outweigh the cons. I just make sure I go off peak wherever possible.

Nice new gym with sparkling new equipment, friendly staff, great selection of cardio and strength equipment. I say their membership prices are fair. I did not join this gym solely because of it's location which is further away than I want to drive.

I like that this is knew. Great equipment, its a bit small though seems like everything is crammed into a very small space. Wish the building was bigger. Over all though its pretty good. They have the hydro massage which I love and my husband loves to tan. Works out perfectly.

This gym has everything you need at a great price. Lucas is the best gym associate I have ever dealt with, very professional and friendly. Always ensuring guests are taken care of and knows many people on a first name basis. Lucas is the kind of person I would want working for me!

Beyond impressed. Fantastic customer service, professional clean atmosphere, unbeatable amenities. The pricing is great too !5 starts are earned and this gym definitely deserves all of them. So excited to keep coming to crunch fitness ! Best gym I've ever been too. 👌 …

For $10 a month this gym is amazing! I just love how big it is and the location. I usually go in at night and the closing staff is always so nice! I don't know if I could say the same for the people I have met whenever I have gone In the mornings though. Overall love this place to lift! 💖 …

CRUNCH KICKED ME OUT OVER A COOKIEI have been going to this crunch location for about a year now, and as a person who specifically uses weight lifting platforms, this is the best bang for your buck gym in the Portland area. If I didn't love the gym and the atmosphere in the gym, it would have been one star.My rating can be explained through an experience I had with the owner and upper staff of the gym.I work out late, and later at night there arent many people at Crunch. The staff member working the front desk was kind enough to let us have some complete cookies that were for sale in the front desk.One normal afternoon, I punched in for my regular workout, and a staff member along with the owner said they wanted to speak to me. They told me that they were ending my membership because I took cookies from the front desk, and I had to pay for them, or else they would be forced to contact the authorities.I understand that, because I took a cookie, they are within their legal boundaries to end my membership. HOWEVER, any company that cares for their customers would never be as petty as this. They only care for your money, and if you do anything to take from their income, even if it is allowed by a staff member, then they will drop you in a heartbeat.They didn't just lose me as a customer. They lost myself, and the majority of my friends who worked out with me. If you do go to crunch, then work out and leave. Do anything to make the gym feel like a home, and they will be quick to remind you that they are NOT a caring family business.

Great gym so far. I love that all the equipment is new and the place is clean. All of the equipment is all in one large studio rather than separate or sectioned. This can make it feel a little overwhelming when you first walk in. I'd prefer everything in separate sections, but that's just me. Or even if they had cardio on the left and weight machines on the right instead of weight machines in front and cardio in the back. This way I wouldn't feel like everyone is watching me when I lift weights. Also, im not sure if I like the fact that there are windows instead of a wall between the main part of the gym and the studio for classes. I guess I don't like the place so OPEN. I'm sure others love it, but it's less comfortable for me. Anyway, besides that everything is wonderful. I'm definitely not complaining. The gym is great how it is. I just thought I'd add some constructive criticism. 😉🙃 Thank you for listening to my two cents.

I am starting to warm up to this gym after what I consider a rough opening. It's still far from ideal, but has its perks.The gym itself kind of looks like what Carl's Jr would look like if they decided to be a gym. The Crunch Logo is emblazoned in hot colors in far too many places, reminding me of 90s advertising.My biggest complaint is that the music here is too loud. This place has all the acoustic appeal of an aluminum airplane hanger. Probably an excellent venue for a haunting flute solo, but the pop music blaring out of the speakers so loud I can barley hear my headphone unless they are at dangerous volumes; it sounds like a mess. I mean really? Who goes to the gym and thinks. ~wow, I'm so glad they had Lady Gaga On Blast while I was doing my curls!?~Many of the grips on the equipment are made out of a slippery plastic matte, that I find ponderously ungrippy. Very bad for the assisted pull-up machine.They have these completely obnoxious safety devices on their cable machines that block the final lowest notch. This makes it so you can't ever have the pulleys fully lowered. For a tall guy like me, with a giant reach, this is frustrating, because I can not fully extend without running out of tension.Signs in the locker room say no cell phone use. I find this an unwelcome rule as I often like to check my messages and stuff in the locker room when I'm done. Maybe I'll one day get kicked out for this.The tanning booths are claustrophobic, and one must stand up in them. Which is really not what I'm used to, nor is it relaxing. The fans are so loud that I have a difficult time listening to my audiobooks while I tan, even with my headphones on. They only allow you to tan for 10 minutes. I was up to 11 minutes at my old gym, so I find this regulation pretty obnoxious. Trying to change inside the porto-poty sized changing room attached to the tanning booth is a joke for a giant like me.Crunch Aloha does possess a couple good traits however. There is great spacing between machines and plenty of room to walk around or have your own space for stretching or whatever. There is also a large open room where they instruct classes that is usually empty. So it's a good place to stretch or get away from the music.Crunch features a large variety of machines, with duplicates of many machines that I find tend to get crowded. Unfortunately, some of these machines do not adjust well to people with great height or reach like myself.The weight switching system on the equipment is flip based and pretty cool, but it can still be a little tough to figure out what switch applies to which weight.The locker rooms are very spacious and so are the lockers! I don't think they rent out lockers which is a shame. I love having a permanent locker at a gym, and they seem to have more than enough for such a service. The showers are great, with good water pressure and nice soap. Unfortunately there is no towel service.
