Crunch Fitness - Meridian

Great gym! Tons of equipment. Helpful staff. Clean facilities.

Should definitely start opening earlier some of us work early I just watched 3 people leave 5 min till 4:30 and no workers. We need the pool cleaned and suana fixed yooooooWhat is up with these leaks been happening since it was IAC water all over the gym slipping hazard for the older people 🤷

This might be the least expensive gym in the area, but it’s a “get what you pay for” situation. I joined in August of last year and was told that fixing the AC in the free-weight room was “in the budget for next quarter”. The summer ended without the AC being fixed and they kept the room cool throughout the winter by keeping the door to the outside open. Start of this summer we were continuously told the AC was getting fixed in 2 weeks, in 2 weeks, every time we asked, in 2 weeks. 2 months later it’s still not fixed. Last week I asked when the AC was getting fixed and they said “Friday.” It’s now the Monday after and the AC is STILL not fixed and it’s beyond hot and stuffy in the free weight room. Currently all of the dumbbells are scattered all over the blue turf leaving nowhere to work out (the other half of the room is blocked off for the evening HIIT class that you need an upgraded membership for, blocking off access to the equipment whether it’s being used for the class or not).Besides the AC being non-existent, the equipment is old and in disrepair. The various weight machines are squeaky and the weights stick and the weight amounts are worn off so you have to guess. More ellipticals and bikes than anyone could possibly want, and no one is ever on them. But very limited number of treadmills and stairclimbers, which there’s almost always a wait for. Lots of racquetball courts which are only occasionally being used. They should be using those courts as class studios and free up the part of the free weight room that is blocked off for the evening HIIT class.The water fountains are hit and miss as far as dispensing water, and the “maintenance needed” message and “change filter” lights have been on since I joined a year ago.The membership information on the website is not correct and things I thought that were included in my membership were in fact not; I needed an upgraded membership. When asked why it clearly stated otherwise on their website I was told that “corporate controlled the website” and it was out of their hands.I am so disgusted and disappointed in this gym. They are clearly in violation of the contract I am bound to, and at this point I don’t even care that I’m going to have to pay for the remainder of my year even though this will be my last visit. I got through my warmup this evening before it was unbearable to continue.

UPDATE - My only real complaint was that the upstairs freeweight area was always too hot in the summer months. They've invested in the HVAC system and it is now nice and cool.The freeweight area is still a little warmer than the rest of the gym but it is 10x better! I can actually workout in that area without feeling like I'm having a heatstroke. Along with the cooler temperature upstairs, they replaced an aging dumbell set. The new weights are excellent! Good ergonomics and a full range.Let me start by saying that the staff here is awesome and the gym is solid. Lots of good equipment and pretty clean for a gym this size. The only reason for a lower rating is the main weight room. I’ve been coming here for years and the heat in the free weight area is miserable. They always seem to be working on the HVAC but it never ends well for that one room. The hotter it is outside, the hotter this room gets. I put five stars in my rating and it’s so hot in here, two stars melted away. If they ever figure out how to cool that area, I’ll update my rating.

Love this place! It's got everything you need and you can always get on the weights.

Fix the AC, I experience heat exhaustion 10 minutes into the workout in the free weights room.If it’s on back order, then just PLEASE go to Costco and buy 2-3 AC units. Honestly just do something besides opening the door.

This is one of the most poorly managed gyms I've ever seen. For over a year the AC in the free weight room has been broken, with promises of "it's in next quarter's budget" or my personal favorite "in two weeks". Each membership tier on the website is different from what you actually get, but they have an excuse for that too, "the website is controlled by corporate, and there's nothing we can do." (If you can't change the website, why not go with what it says!?). They also can't do anything about canceling payments because "it's done by a third party and we have no control over it."The facilities are equally horrible. The extremely hot free weight room made me light-headed and dizzy, even while chugging water. It gets so humid in there that all the mirrors are often foggy with drips of water running down. There are not enough free weights and the HIIT class takes the majority of space in that room, so those of us trying to do our workouts have to find small corners and modify our workout to fit the space. The pool and sauna areas are disgusting, the machines are clunky, squeaky, or just not working at all. I see workers cleaning the unused ellipticals and bikes, but everywhere else is grimy and disgusting.The saddest part is that it seems management is just there to give everyone those rehearsed excuses, and takes no action to improve anything. I have been with Idaho Fitness Factory for a month now, and it is always clean, well maintained, and air conditioned. (And even $2 cheaper, lol!)

Be careful with their “free enrollment” and other promotions. There’s a bunch of hidden fees through the year that the staff on the phone are happy to lie about. They “helped me” to enroll through the phone while assuring me there won’t be any fees besides my monthly payment…keep in mind this is how this gyms make their money…by lying to ppl about “maintenance fee” and “yearly fee” and “swimming pool fee” and all the stuff that they say was included in the membership already…a total shame for the fitness world

The tanning beds are filthy. I always make it a point to clean it before I lay in it, as well as after. I wiped off caked on tanning lotion from the previous tanner(s). I have tried to make an appointment 3 times to meet with a trainer to have them go over a few things and three weeks I a row.. he isn’t there or is with someone else. I even had scheduled those 3 appointments. Also the weight room AC is still not working. I think this is going on summer #3.

Don’t go to this place if you have any potential medical issues! At first I had a good experience with the staff being very kind. Then I got pregnant and tried to go as long as I could I to my pregnancy. When I was no longer able to workout I placed a hold on my account. Then after pregnancy I unexpectedly had medical issues I was dealing with so I had not yet started back up my membership YET they STILL proceeded to charge a $58 yearly renewal fee without any warnings before or during my account hold. When I contacted them on MULTIPLE occasions about the issue and even going to the extent to send a DOCTORS NOTE on why I had yet to return, they proceeded to refuse to give me a refund. Needless to say, I will not be going back due to the manager have such poor understanding for the issues that come after having a baby and working with me. Had he worked with me I was even willing to end up going back and paying the fee eventually when my year mark hit. I will not recommend them to anyone.Not to mention their place gets unbelievably hot to where you can’t even be in the free weights room since they don’t have AC or proper ventilation.
