Crunch Fitness - North Riverside

Cool that they have two boxing heavy bags in their own room!

It is actually a clean gym! There’s only one machine not working but I’m sure there’s a work order in. I enjoy the atmosphere. Thanks crunch!!!

This gym has a mosquito plague! i have brought this to management's attention and they still haven't done anything about it! They are extremely dangerous and even the CDC has warned about them. Do not put your life at risk!!

This location has good options for equipment.Treadmills seem to break down often though.The staff in the afternoon are great, they do a great job at bringing positive gym culture to this location by remembering my name and greeting me when I come in.The crew does their best to keep the facility clean. Unfortunately some of the members don't pick up after themselves and during peak hours you may find water bottles, sanitizer wipes or weights left on the machines or the gym floor.Otherwise I enjoy this location and it's close to home.

This gym has no ac!! The workout area is soooo hot and smells of sweat! Has no ac and makes the air so dense and gross. After a pandemic you would think it would be common sense to keep a gym fresh and cooled. The risk of disease is high here, stay away!

Several things, most machines are broken! Impossible to do a proper leg workout for example since they are mostly all broken, missing weight buttons or simply not oiled properly. The staff is absolutely horrendous! All they do I talk and laugh while the place is falling apart. Lastly, most people do not workout, they use this place as their beauty salon parlor where they come to gossip and be a nuisance. Avoid!

Two stars instead of one, since we liked the Riverside location on Hole Ave. which recently closed. But wow - good luck trying to cancel after that as other Crunch locations were not convenient. We were told we had to pay an additional monthly fee BEFORE we could cancel, even though we hadn't used our membership in weeks as our old location hadn't been available. This, on top of the annual $50 fee IN ADDITION to the monthly fees - even though we were members for less than five months. Pretty underhanded "fee" structure. If you can find another gym with more honest billing tactics - avoid Crunch.

I tried to cancel my gym membership when covid hit and they denied my refund because i paid the year in Full. I went back today to sign up again because its the only gym around my area. I asked to speak to the manager because I wanted to ask some questions and Trevor the guy at guest services was giving me the run around. I managed to go in on a Guest pass and was really disappointed because most of the machines i like to use are broken. Im going to sacrifice the drive to another gym because they didn’t really seem interested in keeping me as a customer and not worth paying a membership when machines are always broken.

So far this gym has completely been worth the money. I DO NOT use the equipment so I cannot say anything about that but I attend the morning group classes and those do not disappoint. I'm only there for the hour of the class and so far that has been awesome. I like that the room has plenty of space for many attendees and the big fans help not keep it stuffy even after an hour of aerobics. The Zumba classes feel more like just aroebics but I really don't mind that because it is an amazing workout and I have two left feet. They offer Zumba and other small group classes every day so if you need the group motivation like I do, they have options. They only get a four because the yoga mats really do need replacement, I bring my own now and problem solved but it shouldn't be like that.Update after attending for about three months this Crunch Fitness is still a 4 star. Most of the staff is really great, but the machines could use some care. I've started attending the HITT classes at 5:30 am with Dona and I couldn't be happier. She is so patient and provides alternative exercises for a beginner like me.

UPDATE: I have notice that they now have a cleaning person and the restrooms and gym are clean now. Always clean! I will update if neededOriginal post: I am not one to complain but on Friday night I went to the gym and the ladies locker room was filthy. I continued to go in hopes of it being cleaned. I went Saturday and Sunday and the ladies locker room continued to get even worse. A whole weekend has gone by and the mess was still there, this is disgusting and for the price paid it should be cleaned. Go here cause it is less than a mile away from my house come October I will be not renewing and just get 24 Hour Fitness. I would never recommend this gym to anyone.
