Crunch Fitness - Schenectady

I've been going here for a few months and here is my honest reviewPros-- quality equipment to workout out anything you could possibly think of- phenomenal group classe- very large gym compared to Planet Fitness- great location with A LOT of parking-large locker roomCons-- the gym lacks cleanliness (bathroom area is disgusting) seems as if they only wipe down and mop the place once a day- weights are never re-racked- employees seem to keep to themselves unless greeting someone at the front desk or training someone- personal trainers never encourage their trainees to wipe down equipmentOver all-I really like the gym but I've been to Planet Fitness, Vent Fitness, Crossfit Gyms, and Marital Arts gyms, and none have lacked this much cleanliness and hygiene.

Don't let the 3 star rating deter you from this gym, because it is a VERY good gym, just not perfect. I'll start with the negatives. There's some equipment that they don't have, that if were here would give it another star. Specialised free roam benches, different cable machines, a true Hack Squat. Not much, but things that would really help with variety. Another down side is the the noise from the classes. The trainers use a mic and speakers, but it sounds like they have the mic right on their lips and are screaming. The noise coming out of the speakers is incoherent for sure. It drowns out any music from my headphones, and you have to yell to be heard by anyone your lifting with. The goods though are very good. Equipment is always clean, plenty of space to move and not bump into other people. Proper squat racks and deadlift platforms, lighting is A1. I truly mean it, if those few things were fixed, then it would be a 5 star gym 100%.Also, one thing from when I signed up. There's multiple billboards around the area, and their website still says the rate is $9.95 per month, but when I tried to sign up in person I was told $14.95 per month. I literally had to go online and sign up in front of the gym employee to get the lower rate. Kind of sketchy. I've been a member for about a month now, and the front door has been broken since I joined.

Love it here

Club is brand new,. Hardly anyone there midday.

This is the best gym I've been to in a long time I'm very happy I joined!

I just love it everyone is so friendly the best gym ever gooo crush fitness keep up the good work

I was going to planet fitness located a couple of blocks away from crunch, when a buddy of mine told me to come check crunch, best swap ever, the only downside I would say it’s that they don’t have a colonie location, and also I would love to see an standing calf machine raise.👍💪🏻Great they have put more equipment including the standing calf raise my favorite, thank you so much crunch you guys rock 🎸

Love this gym! It feels like a fitness community. The HIIT classes have quickly become my favorite. The staff is dedicated and motivating so you want to work harder to meet your goals. It's just what I needed in such a convenient location.
