Great club, minimal crowd (never had to wait for a machine or rack), clean with tons of equipment! Also the ambiance is top tier!!! Best gym in the Marina/Cow Hollow/Russian Hill area by far.

Just joined a few weeks ago, absolutely love this gym. For cheaper than prices at other gyms you can get access to city-wide crunch fitness’s, classes like spin and yoga, and access to great trainer alike Lyndsay.
Did a PT session with her to work on shoulders and hips, and ended the session being able to squat deeper than ever and do a power clean for the first time in my 25 years of life. Can’t recommend the gym and Lyndsay enough!

Crunch Polk is a solid mid‑to-upper gym: it has character, decent amenities, and a lively vibe, but it also shows signs of strain in operations and crowding. It’s not flawless, but for many people it’s a worthwhile place to work out.

This is a mediocre gym. It's basically fine but extremely crowded.
But oh man, are they awful. Here I am thinking I canceled my month-to-month gym membership and months later I'm getting calls from a debt collector about $404 (seemingly equivalent to multiple months of membership). Who does that?
I paid the balance to get it out of the way, but how I ended up here remains a mystery to me. Irrespective of whether Crunch's behavior runs afoul of California's consumer protection laws (still TBD), I suspect any reasonable person would consider this unethical. If you feel obliged to treat your customers like this, is it really worth being in business?

Lindsay, a personal trainer at this gym, was great! She provided good advice on fitness, form, and customized exercises to focus on specific goals and injuries.

Moving to SF, in the process of signing the lease and checking out gyms. Got a free day pass at Crunch. The guy didn’t allow me in. Apparently there is a very fine print in the email - must already have a new id with SF address or a lease signed. The guy didn’t budge - amazon or walmart deliveries don’t work, moving orders also - “There is nothing in between only id or a signed lease”.
I lost time, didn’t get my training, they got one star and lost a potential customer. Question to crunch - whatever antifraud system you have, is it worth it? Why putting something like this in fine print and not openly?
P.S. btw same rule at Live Fit but they tell you that right away on their website. They got me in after I asked by phone if any other confirmation works.

Wont ever come again until this guy EARL BURKS is FIRED.
Came with my partner to try out the local gym once using the guest trial. We went to the reception and showed them the necessary documents including proof of lease. They then told us to wait for some manager whose name is Earl Burks. After some waiting this guy Earl came to us and asks me to show him the lease AGAIN even when the reception guy did it already. Confused but still trying to follow process so I tried to pull out the PDF from my email chain with my landlord. Not even 10s of waiting this guy came from nowhere said “PDF can always be edited”…… sorry what????? I asked him why he made the assumption that I edit the document. He said he’s not assuming. Well then why said that.
BTW the whole convo feels very condescending. Hey we are the customer and he literally talked down as if he’s the boss. Why the hell he’s there????? Totally not competent and helpful.
We were actually pretty impressed by the gym and I was originally opening to pay for it even if trial doesn’t work out. But this guy completely ruins the experience. I would feel so uncomfortable to get membership if he’s still there.

I’ve been training at Crunch Gym and overall it’s been a really good experience. The space is clean, well-maintained, and has a wide variety of equipment—plenty of machines, free weights, and functional training areas so it never feels like I’m missing anything for a workout.
The staff are friendly, approachable, and helpful whenever you need guidance. The group classes are a huge plus—energetic, fun, and motivating, especially when you need an extra push.
The vibe is upbeat and inclusive, and I appreciate that the gym attracts people of all fitness levels. At peak hours, it can get a bit crowded, but that’s expected in a popular location.
Overall, Crunch makes working out feel less like a chore and more like an experience you look forward to. Definitely recommend it if you want a mix of good energy, solid equipment, and a supportive atmosphere.

I recently did my first ever personal training session with Coach Lindsay and it was fantastic. She’s very broadly knowledgeable and was able to help me with hip and ankle mobility, some progressions to get my one arm pull up, and with very specific exercises to improve my deadlifting and squatting form. She’s obviously very passionate about both lifting and coaching and she’s super nice to hang out with!

Love this gym and the trainers. I just finished up a personal training session with Lyndsay and it was great. She taught me exercises to improve my hip and shoulder mobility. She was very knowledgeable on powerlifting, body building, and physical therapy. Would 100% recommend

Yep, the best classes! I have a gym and a pool at my residence. But, I find classes to be a nice addition. The monthly fees are very reasonable, and towels are included. They are trying to up their personal training game, but that would not be for me. In the end, they have something for everyone.

Most people don’t come to actually work out — they just sit on the machines playing with their phones. The staff never says anything, so all you can do is wait for your turn… for quite a while :)
