Crunch

4 stars based on the quality of the gym in relationship to how much it costs!
My roommate took me here as a guest to check it out. He said, he’s paying only $ 10/​month! What’s a deal right? Inside Crunch, it has everything you need for the workout just like all the other gyms already. Although the size is smaller and less amount of equipment, we are talking about $ 10 a month that give you access to everything you need. If you have hard time with having too many people using the gym, try going during non-​busy time. Both the gyms and the bathrooms are clean. All the equipment and stations are spreading out well enough to give you some rooms to breathe. Big parking lot in front (but sharing with the Stone Garden, so it might get packed at night). And it has a decent size studio. If I don’t go to the gym at like midnight (@ 24 Hours Fitness), I would probably come here instead.

love the gym. not always packed which is great cause I get embarrassed working out. so I’m really looking for a partner to kinda train me or help me lose weight. I’m currently 21 and over weight. so if anybody is kind enough to help me and show me the ways to a healthier life I would really appreciate that. somebody who can push me and keep me on track.

To be brief, if you are serious about lifting or fitness this gym isn’t going to work for you. It’s a little better then a planet fitness… No real squat racks even. It is crowded, messy, and poorly maintained, many of the machines are broken. The only positive to this gym is the pricing. Spend the extra money and go to LA Fitness or Golds.

+: low monthly basic membership fee @$ 11 (note: initiation fee is $ 100 plus some other $ 30 – 40 fees I don’t remember now); facilities are enough for basic work out
-: some front desk staff are not nice. e.g. One guy didn’t greet me when I entered the gym and later came and told me that my credit card expired. Seems they just care about money not customers; I also had a bad experience at the free 1 – 1 consultation with a trainer. He didn’t know what he should do/​talk in such session and his attitude is totally below my expectation. He didn’t show respect and politeness to customers.

I’ve been a member at a handful of gyms throughout my life and toured at least a dozen more. My first job was even working at the front desk of a gym! I find the process of buying a gym membership almost as sleazy as buying a car. (Tip: if you tour a gym and they want something outrageous to join, just tell them it’s too much and they’ll call back in a few weeks with some amazing «special» that «just popped up»). Anyways, Crunch has none of the sleaze because the employees don’t get any commission for signing you up (I asked). The prices are ridiculously low. I’ve never, ever seen a gym that offers a $ 10 membership for access to everything except the tanning and hydro bed. The facility is well-​equipped, clean, the staff is polite, and the price is fabulously right. Thank you, Crunch! The only thing that could possibly make it better is if you opened a location in West Seattle near me.

My husband and I have been going to Crunch for nearly two years. We are both gym-​rats (so to speak) with much experience at gyms of all kinds. Crunch Fitness, the Crunch team (including Tony the Manager) are wonderful. The facility is very clean, the staff is friendly, there are classes but also a nice array of machines for cardio and lifting as well as an extensive free weight set-​up. For the price, this gym cannot be beat. $ 10 For Basic and $ 20 to include tanning and their hydro-​therapy bed (which is awesome if your back is tight). Also, you can bring a guest for free (whenever!), just sign them in. We also take advantage of the personal training and this gym is terrific at matching each member with the very best trainer for their goals and ability. I could not be happier as a member at Crunch. I have recommended Crunch to three co-​works and friends and they have all joined.
I have zero complaints about this gym. This gym holds up against any 24 Hour Fitness, The RAC, Thrive, Golds or LA Fitness (short of a pool/​court-​sports). You can’t beat the price for the cleanliness, equipment, staff, classes (Zumba, Yoga, TRX, ABT, Bosu, abs, Shred & more) and convenient location/​parking.
If there were six (6) stars, I could give — I would!

Switched over from LA fitness. So much better. Cheaper. Never too crowded. Better equipment. People are friendly. Can bring a guest free and easy. Can check out drinks on my scan card and pay. They do it right. Thanks Crunch in Bellevue.

I have been trying to cancel this account since before I have moved. They have no problem updating your information to charge your account but calling to cancel due to a move is OUTRAGEOUS! Despite by efforts to cancel they have now charged me an annual fee of $ 42 and will not process my cancellation request and are processing a charge for another monthly fee! The customer service for this company is a nightmare. I wish I had never signed up for this gym it was a waste of money with poor facilitates.
The place is crowed with only an illusion of it being clean. This place seems like a good deal but it is poor quality bad service and charges you when your not looking.
Don’t do it.

The gym itself is fine with me. Nice equipment and staff. I purchased a membership because I needed somewhere to workout after work, and the membership is so cheap. HOWEVER, be warned that they do sneak in a lot of extra fees — Initiation fee ($ 69), A pro-​rated annual fee ($ 6.50) — in addition to a regular annual fee ($ 39), and of course your monthly fee ($ 9.95+), all including tax. So just be aware that you’re not actually only paying «$ 9.95/month» as they advertise. When all is said and done, you’ll be paying about $ 250 for the first year — or just over $ 20/​month for the very basic membership.

Nothing to complain about here. It’s a good gym, doesn’t seem to ever be to busy. Trainers are good, facility is clean price is really inexpensive compared to other folks. Def recommend it!

This place is good if all you want to do is cardio (which seems dumb when you can just do that for free). There are a ton of treadmills. The price can’t be beat, 10 bucks. They do sneak in an annual fee, but its like $ 40.
The weights area sucks and is pretty cramped. The bars are bent, there is no squat rack except for this goofy pseudo smith machine (WTF?!) nor is there a spare free bar to do deadlift or anything like that. Three free bars, that’s it, and they are bigger around than normal bars like they are trying to prevent you from doing certain things. Two are on flat benches, and one incline. They are ALWAYS taken of course. Dumbbell selection is ok, but still they run out of them a lot. Machine selection is somewhat limited. Definitely no hack squat, they have one leg press.
I guess you get what you pay for.

Very good gym, particularly for the great price. In addition to the standard gym equipment, they also offer classes. This is not the Pro Club, so don’t expect towel service and a spa in the lockers, but I personally dislike gyms that are pretentious.
The staff, and particularly the owner, have been very helpful in resolving a membership issue. Unlike a lot of gym horror stories, you can tell they care and it’s appreciated.

Worst customer service ever! I had the biggest hassle in trying to cancel my membership. Once I went into the store and cancelled my membership and received a copy of the cancellation (from a very rude staff member), I received a call from the gym few days later stating that they forgot to charge me, and i need to come in or call with a credit card. I called back during morning, and the staff who answered had no clue. She took all of my information and had a manager call me back. I spoke with someone named Tony A., claiming to be the manager. He was prompt about taking my payment. Even when I explained my frustration, he was eager to get my payment information, rather than looking into his customer service issues.
Tony and his entire staff needs to reevaluate what it means to be in customer service.
Avoid Crunch Bellevue at all cost!!!

I’ve been a member since this location opened. I’ve never gotten anything but excellent, positive attitude from any of the staff. The equipment is always in good shape, the showers always hot, except maybe for the first day or two they were open… brrr!
Sadly, after about a year (a.k.a. six months) I realized I just wasn’t a go to the gym and workout person. I’m not much of a workout anywhere person given half a chance. In the end, I stopped going.
I stopped in there today to cancel my membership. I walked in, all trained up by Comcast customer service experiences, ready to huffily declare myself a quitter. The guy at the front desk, I didn’t catch his name) was totally smart and on the ball, no attitude. Much appreciated. After a moment with the front desk, General Manager Tony Auriemma walked over, introduced himself and took the time to provide me with excellent service that included complete follow-​through. Everything went better than I expected.
Thanks Crunch Fitness!

Been going to Crunch for a year and I love this gym. For $ 20/​month, I get unlimited classes, as well as use of the regular gym equipment. The classes are terrific and there is a nice variety, with times throughout the day. The instructors are usually very good. Staff is always friendly and facilities seem clean to me.
It doesn’t have a pool or childcare and this helps keep the costs down. I am so happy to have found this gym — it gives me everything I need, including the right price.

For the price you can’t beat Crunch. It is very convenient to park, equipment is new, great cardio and weight options, high ceilings nice colors and open feeling. Nice locker rooms and some good class offerings.
One striking thing is there isn’t the scam of other gyms. Take a tour and there is zero pressure to join– obviously the staff is not commissioned (thank you!!). So no «today only» specials. They even encourage you to sign up online. It is monthly with no contract.
Only small gripe is the $ 9.99/month is a bit of a marketing gimmick. You are charged an additional $ 39/​year (or prorated about $ 3.50 month).
So really the monthly dues are total of about $ 14.00.
My one HUGE gripe is the full length frosted glass showers that are TOTALLY see through. There is no way you can pull a curtain or anything for privacy. Yes people have no choice but to see you completely naked as you shower. WTF they seriously need to get rid of these.

This gym is awesome!!! I was looking for a new gym after I quit my membership at 24 hour fitness and am SO glad I found this place! I technically haven’t even started a membership here yet because I’ve came as a guest of a friend who has a peak membership.
All of the equipment is new, and the classes are actually really fun! I’ve taken zumba, pound, belly butt and thighs bootcamp, and cardio tai box. If you’re looking for a fun class, go for zumba. If you’re looking for a good cardio workout, go for the belly butt and thighs bootcamp.
The price is ridiculously cheap compared to other gyms. It’s awesome that if you sign up for the peak membership ($ 20 a month), you can bring a guest with you everytime as well as unlimited tanning if you’re into that! The personal trainers here are pretty cool here too, and one guy has given me tips even though he’s not my personal trainer.
The only downside about this gym is that it smells really bad sometimes. I’m pretty sure some of the people here don’t wear deodorant… but there’s not much you can do about that. Other than that, it’s not a super fancy gym, but it has all the basic stuff you’d need for a workout and I’d recommend this place for the value!

This is one of the best «globo» type gyms I’ve been to. I love the staff, the classes, and the facilities are so new and nice. Jenny is the best instructor when it comes to the ABT classes and pretty much any class she instructs makes you feel the impact of a good workout. I don’t know if she’s still there anymore, but if she is, go directly to her classes. She’s the epitome of what fit is.
It’s only $ 9.95 a month here, and you have access to unlimited classes. What a steal! The machines are always available if you need any of that, and since I hate running on a treadmill, they actually have a nice little area to run around pre or post workout. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s at a shopping center, so once you’re done you can get your food on or go for some retail therapy.
If you’re seeking a good corporate-​type gym to go to, I highly recommend this one.

Thank god for Crunch, seriously. Without I’d have to resort to L.A. Fitness (shudder, no, etc.). Membership fee is seriously unbeatable and doesn’t compromise anything. For starters, the gym is CLEAN, which is extremely important in a gym (hello, people sweat profusely in gyms). The basic membership also includes free classes, which I’ve never taken advantage of, but it seems like they offer a wide variety.
I do have to note that it can be extremely crowded during peak hours, especially in the weight room. But after about a year of working out here, I now know of a gloriously uncrowded time period that I will never reveal on Unilocal (Sorry!) because I don’t want to ruin it.
My only wish to make crunch even better was if there was another squat rack. I go through extreme lengths to spy on people who are occupying it when I need it, and I don’t particularly enjoy feeling like an equipment predator on a regular basis.

We have been going to this gym for nearly a year now. It’s worth every dime. For $ 9/​month, it’s beneficial just to even get membership and forget about going. Still good for your mental health (yes, those lazy people out there, I am talking about you).
For the price, the only missing thing is boxing area and pool. But how often do you need to use it? I use them maybe twice a year. We used to have LA Fitness and although the facility is nice and huge, it was like $ 30/​mo for each person. Sometime I don’t go there like 2 weeks straight due to travel, that’s half a month gone.
Crunch is very friendly to family and people who don’t like big muscle guys hanging around showing off. So if you are a casual gym goer, you can just go once a week and still be worth $ 9. Their equipments are pretty much brand new too.
