Crunch Fitness - St. Pete Northeast

Positive experience: Great gym, all the reviews are true regarding equipment variety and layout. I am surprised there’s only one *good* leg extension and leg curl machine for a gym this size as well as only 1 hack squat machine. Some machines weren’t their best pick such as the standing calf machine- it’s not adjustable enough for shorter people. Also wish they had the better hyperextension machine (where legs are parallel to floor). But the really the reason for taking off two stars is the hours. It would be nice if it opened at 6am on Sundays. Sign is misleading- it is not open 24hours starting on Mondays- it opens at 5am. Be ready for Sparta 300 rush on Mondays at opening. Side note: At my old gym, which is 24 hours, you scanned your card to unlock the door and then they switched over to an an app on your phone that unlocks the door. Not sure why Crunch doesn’t invest in something similar and save themselves labor costs over time. I overhear people all the time mention the inconvenience of opening hours on Mondays and how packed it gets as soon as the doors open as well as how packed it gets in general. Since I don’t foresee them putting a cap on membership (gyms are expensive, I get it), I think this (making it 24 hours/7 days) will provide more of a solution regarding crowds. Something to really consider.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. It's my escape to do something for good for myself for me & health. This place is huge with lots of room for everyone. Hydro message beds for after workout. All the tanning beds are really good stand-ups. I love coming here, just wish I could do it more.

Fantastic experience: As others have mentioned, the gym is huge, with new equipment. I enjoy the classes that offer and the sauna. I have had personal training sessions with Sara. I highly recommend her if you are a female looking for some extra motivation to help you tone up. She is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, helpful and makes me feel very comfortable. She's taught me many good work out exercises that I wouldn't have tried myself if not for her. She's very easy to work with. Give her a try!!

Fantastic experience: It's an awesome gym. Huge, clean, bright. Brand new equipment. The front desk people have been nothing but very helpful and friendly. Just walking around and looking at everything makes me feel motivated lol. And somehow it's only 10$ a month!!! Considering all that...the bad reviews on here are just ???? ????. Seriously tho, if you need a good laugh, check out the bad reviews.
