I’ve been training at Crunch Fitness on University Parkway for a little while now and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My trainer, Marshall is very knowledgeable, motivating and really tailors each session to my goals, which has made a huge difference in my progress. What really sets this place apart is the vibe the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic without being overwhelming whenever you’re working with a trainer or doing your own routine you feel part of a community that’s focused on health and positive positivity. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fitness center that combines professional guidance and great facilities and an uplifting environment

Crunch member for about 4 years . Going to different gyms for 10.
Two stars are only for location(Sarasota University), access, and the trainers themselves (which all get 5 stars independently)…..as you notice in other reviews most of the good stuff comes from a client with a trainer . But what about the gym itself …?
Definitely not as clean as other Crunch locations. The bars are extremely dirty(wipe them and you’ll see ) the soap dispensers in the men’s bathroom are often empty, and the wipes on the floor are consistently gone. There’s noticeable dust and dirt along many of the machines as well. The sauna is usually absolutely disgusting , sticky floors , trash , heavy dirt in the corners and it seems it never gets the attention it deserves for clean. And this is in comparison to the Bradenton crunch which stays pretty immaculate
They play the same style of playlist where each song only plays for about 30 seconds before switching…….. It’s like someone who is flipping through TikTok’s for hours.
The only negative interaction with an employee I’ve had was with the older woman with super white straight hair who sometimes opens. She refused to let me in when I tried to check in using my phone number and insisted I needed a card( I forgot it). She wouldn’t check me in so I went and got my workout anyways... She even left a flag on my account that I later had removed. It was the only situation like that I’ve ever had at a gym. Sometimes I walk up and see her at the desk and go to a different gym. Some kind of extended bob haircut style…
Also , why are the bathroom entrances so tight…?

I’ve been coming to this gym for 5 years. I’ve worked with a few different trainers over the years. Marshall K is by far the best! I disclosed an injury that I had been recovering from and he made sure to design workouts for me that helped me progress without aggravating the injury. His knowledge of health and nutrition make him a trustworthy trainer. If you are looking for a trustworthy coach, look no further than Marshall K

Great place to lift whether you new to the gym or have been lifting for years. The staff are welcoming, and they are there to help when you when you need it. Also great with conversation. All around a good place to lift

Michael Amey was great at the front desk! 10/10 service and very helpful when signing up. Best crunch in the area.

I love the gym, it's huge, lots of workout equipment. I didn't like that you can't cancel your membership for 90 days after you join. Also hidden $53 annual fee. Also if funds aren't in bank account on same day they are scheduled to take it out, they charge $10 late fee . Also professional training is a rip off and the rates are insanely expensive.

I called to cancel my membership 9 months ago and the girl I talked to said everything was good to go after being on the phone for 15 minutes. I was checking my statements and they have been charging my card 40$ for basically a year. I called again and now I HAVE to go in and I am not getting any money back. Just a bunch of scammers.

Was greeted enthusiastically by Dom, facilities were clean and all machines were in great condition. 10/10 would recommend purchasing a membership.

Read the contract closely. They won't go over it with you and make it hard for you to cancel or get a refund. I had the misfortune of getting seriously sick the day after signing up and tried to cancel 5 days later. I spoke to 4 different people who gave me 4 different reasons why I couldn't cancel. One said they needed an in-person signature, another said it just was absolutely not possible at all, a manager said I couldn't cancel 3 days after signing the contract, a sales rep said I couldn't cancel without a signed doctor's note... they had a list of reasons prepared to make it difficult for the customer to get my money back. I have yet to receive a refund on the personal training sessions I prepaid for. It's been a total nightmare that i've had to navigate. It's super scammy business practices and I will never be entering a Crunch gym again.

I would like to leave this statement on record, because I was about to give up on Cruch when Personal Wes met my wife and, talking to him, we agreed on a training plan.
Which proved to be very successful, because his training sessions are great, he is very motivating and manages to go beyond the exercises so that I reach my best potential, motivating me to go further.
The result of this is that today, in addition to being in the best physical shape of my life, I am managing to go consistently every week.
