Crunch Fitness - Bowery

Mike is fantastic, amazing, very helpful, and knowledgeable! Go to him with any questions and he’ll have the answers :). I truly appreciate the experience I’ve had with him. Thanks again Mike!

I had initially given this gym a 5 star review because I liked everything about it. However, I can no longer stand behind my initial rating, especially after addressing the same issue to management over and over again without any improvements.Just for reference, I go to this gym 3-4/week mainly for weight training. I like to earn my sweat by working out hard. However, in the past month, I have been sweating the moment I come in the door. The temperature situation has been ridiculous, especially in the basemet. Today, the machine section (which is in the BASEMENT) was 78 degrees with what felt like no ventilation. I addressed this issue various times but it has been like this for a couple of months now. If something is broken, there should be an urgency to fix it, especially with COVID19 going around.Also, it's been rather messy lately, with dirty towels and free weights all over the place. You stand a better chance finding weights somewhere on the floor than on actual racks.

Spacious gym, but the cardiovascular equipment is severely dated and in some cases feels unsafe. For example, the treadmills are steady, with a lot of movement and shaking. Had to abandon several workouts because the belts catch and they feel tired and worn out. Time for an upgrade.

They have a good selection of both cardio and weightlifting equipment.Some important weightlifting equipment you’ll find:- 3 squat racks (1 has a deadlift platform combo)- 1 deadlift platform- 3 bench presses, other chest machines,- 2 additional barbells- basic dumbbells, cable machines (you’ll find an additional one by the cardio equipment)- 1 leg press- kettlebells, and other basic equipment.What you will NOT find as of this date:- E-Z bars. Would be nice to have as it provides better support for your wrists, but not a deal-breaker for me.- Hip thrust machines or benches with proper/comfortable height for them. I even struggle to find a space where to do them. It’s nice that they have extra barbells, but just not enough space to even use them.Overall it’s a nice and clean gym. It will get very busy 5-7pm, but even then it’s not as crowded as other gyms in the area.

They were sticklers about the timing of my classpass open gym time. It hasn’t been a problem at other places I’ve used classpass to go to gym time for. Heads up

Hi, I am a new member to Crunch fitness and I LIKE TO invite friends to work out with me sometimes. Usually my friends are experiencing the gym using the free trial pass. However, I really wish the management team do not block the opportunity for my friends from NJ or nearby the access to free trial pass. This is what a member would not like to see especially on CRUNCH website where it says that CRUNCH would love to see you invite friends. But overall, I like the gym very much

One of my favorite gyms I have ever attended. Staff is friendly, locker rooms are clean, weights are racked. What more could you ask for? P. S. If you need a trainer, Logan’s the guy!!

Great overall gym, all machines, space you want with excellent classes at half the cost of the exinox

The Crunch Fitness located at 2 Cooper Place caters mostly to NYU students, and aside from the discounts towards NYU students' membership they also give discounts to locals in the neighborhood.They reopened about a month ago, and they seem to offer a ton of self help classes.

It’s great! I just miss the old building, it was a MASSIVE space and you had plenty of it. This spot is convenient but FAR smaller. Plus I just wish it wasn’t always a “little busy”. Sure I could get up at 4am everyday and avoid the people completely by showing up at 5.... but I’m only human. If it wasn’t for the consistent amount of people I would’ve given them 5/5, otherwise they are clean, helpful and they have a small downtime window between 5am-7am. 😉
