Crunch Fitness - 83rd Street

Experiencia fantástica: The gym has a lot of equipment and plenty of space to do your own work outs! Also the Manager, John, is super great and made the experience/sign-up well worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: Solid gym with a great location. Johnathan was super helpful with picking the right membership plan in a timely matter without pressure. Highly recommend talking to him if you're interested in joining.

Experiencia fantástica: I was trying different Crunch locations and this one was definitely my favorite. I was on a free trial, but when I came into this location for the first time, I signed up for a membership with John. John is really passionate about his job and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the members. He has great energy and walked me through the sign up really, really well. John continues to respond fast to any questions or concerns and I appreciate that! The overall gym atmosphere is amazing and everyone is so friendly. I will forever be grateful for John and this gym for helping me start my fitness journey.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym experience I’ve had so far. I’ve tried planet fitness and blink in the past, but Crunch just does not compare. It’s a phenomenal gym. The W83rd location is very accommodating and clean. They offer so many fun classes, the cycling class with Michelle is so much fun. The work out space is great. If you’re thinking about joining ask for, John. He is amazing, he’s super helpful and is always there whenever I have any questions.

Experiencia fantástica: crunch 83rd is located in the gym mile on the UWS. i received a free trial pass but declined the grand tour 'cos I was more interested in a spa day than working out. The sauna is conveniently adjacent to the locker room, which sports rather large lockers & is spacious in general for alone time with a leisurely coffee or smoothie. they also have a lounge area if you want to chit-chat etc. overall, this gym's a well oiled machine- well-planned and well-executed. they've thought of everything to make it a wonderful experience for you but then leave you alone to do your thing. if you prefer a more hands on approach, they're eager to help, again without pressure. Lastly, they're on top of their cleaning game, continuously yet unobtrusively restocking towels or tidying up after patrons. it's an optimal space on gym row for nearly anyone to get crunchin', & they're not pushy, so do try crunch.

Experiencia fantástica: Good vibe, no creeps, plenty of machines without being too crowded, and decent sauna. Not bad! I haven’t taken any of the classes but they look good.

Experiencia fantástica: John, the membership director, is fantastic. Really helpful, especially for students who have weird schedules and breaks in the middle of the month. Also emails back super quickly.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been training with Jon for the past few months & I can honestly say he is hands down one of the best trainers I have ever worked with in the NYC area!! I always get the best workouts with him & I am getting stronger each day. 11/10 recommend!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The gym is always very accommodating and clean. Ask for John, the membership director when you join. He goes above and beyond, making it less stressful to get in and signing up for classes, and is in general on top of everything at the gym. Best gym experience I’ve had so far and have been going for more than half a year.

Experiencia fantástica: Jon, the trainer, is simply the best in the biz! I’ve trained with several others in the past and I have never attained the type of results that I have experienced with him. He is thoughtful, methodical, and an all around nice guy. I can honestly say he has transformed my body for the better and I’ll won’t ever look back. If you want to be strong and push your body to its limits in a positive way, Jon is your man!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is very helpful and pleasant! I always get a great workout in, even when I have to drag myself to the gym. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Me and my husband decided to start working out and John Radzik made it so easy and pleasant! We had an amazing time looking around the great facilities and talking about different options, and John made sure that we were getting the best offer! He is the best person you can talk to regarding the memberships and available options, friendly and professional! We are looking forward to work out at crunch 83rd! :D

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of Crunch W 83rd for a year and it has been the best gym experience I’ve ever had. The entire team is incredibly caring and helpful and the gym is clean and well-maintained. John R. is especially helpful and is always responsive and outgoing. He is a huge help with membership requirements and referrals. I highly recommend signing up with Crunch 83rd!

Experiencia fantástica: Crunch on 83rd is the best gym I've ever been to. I signed up almost a year and half ago and have been going consistently since. The staff are amazing. John Radzik signed me up and he's the man - friendly, professional, and an overall great guy. I got a bunch of friends signed up since as well. I've also been training with Jon Buret - the best trainer at Crunch! Besides John and Jon, I've also gotten to know the other trainers and they're also incredibly friendly and professional. All in all, I couldn't recommend this gym more.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had an amazing experience at this gym after joining when I moved to the area. The place is always super clean, and the equipment is all very new and well maintained. The staff are all awesome, especially John who is always funny and welcoming every time I walk in .

Experiencia fantástica: Have been a member for about 7 months now and have had a great experience all around. John and the rest of the staff are super friendly, informative, and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: I can't speak highly enough about this gym. The staff here make this gym experience the best I've ever had. John Radzik went above and beyond setting me up with a membership and makes you feel so welcome every time you walk in the gym. You can rely on him to help with any membership issues/requests that come up. In general, the staff is always friendly and pleasant. They have your back at this gym and it makes you want to come more often! Ali Schulman, the general manager, is an incredibly kind and welcoming person as well, which seems to be the theme at this gym. There's nothing like heading to a gym in crowded Manhattan and seeing familiar faces, it makes it feel like a small town where everyone knows you. The gym itself is great. Awesome classes, great up-to-date equipment, and 3 floors of options, it has everything you could ever want at a gym including a yoga room and spin room. Lockers are nice and have full saunas. Can't recommend this gym enough!! 10/10.

Experiencia fantástica: I hadn't stepped foot in a gym since the start of the pandemic and John Radzik immediately made me feel welcome. He got my membership reactivated quickly and efficiently and was even kind of enough to offer me a number of perks! The gym itself makes great use of the available space and seems to be very well maintained. Overall, an excellent welcome from the team at Crunch on West 83rd Street! I'm excited to be back.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this gym!! Joe the director of membership was so so helpful. 100% would recommend this location

Experiencia fantástica: Great facilities and even better people! Special shout out to John from the Memberships planning team, for sure the go to guy for any questions!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff, clean facilities, a great variety of workout equipment including crossfit tires, etc. Fitness classes with great motivating instructors, yoga, spinning, pilates, and sports workouts. COVID-safety protocols with HVAC filtering ventilation and well kept locker rooms though speaking for the men's side, pretty cramped.

Experiencia fantástica: Gym is very clean, me and my girlfriend love coming here for a great workout. Has everything we need. John at the front desk is super friendly and welcoming, overall great experience at this gym!

Experiencia fantástica: Great location, hasn’t been super busy in the mornings. Ali was very helpful getting my membership setup, and John from membership was super helpful with helping me get a trial membership for a guest of mine. Friendly staff, great trainers.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym has everything you need and the staff is so nice! John with member services is the best - incredibly friendly and so helpful. He made me feel so welcome.

Experiencia fantástica: Phenomenal gym! Ali Schulman and Angie at the front desk were both extremely helpful, as I just moved to the city. Very thoughtful and thorough breakdown of pricing to accommodate my needs. Customer service was exceptional. Gym is 3 stories and massive, great use of space. Very excited to be a part of the Crunch family!

Experiencia fantástica: After a number of years at Equinox, once the gyms reopened I switched to Crunch. A MUCH better deal and so much more affordable. And a big shout out to John in membership services. He’s a great guy.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of many gyms across Manhattan and I must say that by far Crunch on 83rd has been my BEST experience. John, Mo and Ali are super friendly, professional and attended to literally any and every need I have had. I am a business owner and highly appreciate the caliber of staff that this sports club offers. #member4LIFE -Peter

Experiencia fantástica: So far a great experience. Signed up with John and Maurice. Very friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend asking for John when you come check out the place. Enjoy!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so happy that I joined Crunch Fitness 30 years ago. I’ve been coming to this branch since it opened. It’s a first-class facility with the best classes and teachers. I just finished an excellent yoga class by Carl Horowitz. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Hopefully I’ll be coming here for another thirty years.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, friendly staff . Had a great spin class w my friend

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This Crunch 83rd St location is an awesome experience. Johnathan the Group Member Director is incredible: professionally gives attention to the details making your experience positive and exceed expectations. The gym has a great layout, natural light and the staff there for you.

Experiencia fantástica: It's been my go-to location since the beginning of the year. The gym has been renovated, and the floor space, studio and locker rooms are spacious and very clean. There are lots of machines, free weights, TRX, bosu balls, kettle bells, anything fitness needs related. I go to several locations and feel very safe working out at Crunch. You get temperature checks upon checking in, the gym is pretty empty so there's no danger of breaking the 6 feet of social distancing. I'm just grateful to have my gym available once again.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of Crunch for 21 years. These days, the gym is run better than it ever has been since I joined. They handled the pandemic reopening with the utmost attention to health and safety protocols, while maintaining the warmth and “no judgments” environment that is Crunch’s hallmark. The staff is always friendly and helpful, led by Ali, the General Manager, whose good humor and kindness are contagious. I consider myself lucky to have the 83rd Street Crunch in my neighborhood.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a member (off and on) since this gym opened. I love that it’s super clean and the staff is nice and very professional especially John Radzik, who helped me renew my membership. He is super helpful, a good listener and he helped me choose the best option that worked for me! I would recommend him for any new guests that are interested in joining.

Experiencia fantástica: It's a well equipped gym with a friendly stuff. Especially during COVID they provided all the necessary facilities. Most of the people making sure to clean the equipment as required. I still recommend to clean before use, just to be sure. I was most of the time in the early morning where it isn't too crowded.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a new addition to the crunch gym! John the director was so incredibly helpful. He answered all my questions about covid safety protocol and cleanliness of the gym. John even recommended Annie a personal trainer and gave me a free session. Annie is incredibly nice and helpful in improving my strength and knowledge about fitness. Cannot recommend this gym more!

Experiencia fantástica: Super clean, never too crowded, all equipment works. John was extremely helpful in finding the best membership options for what I needed. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I really appreciated their reasonable cancellation policy, and their handling of memberships during the pandemic. So many gyms make cancelling or pausing memberships nearly impossible. Also, their saunas are nice and hot.

Experiencia fantástica: I just spoke with John about my recently terminated membership (long story - it wasn't supposed to be terminated). After a quick 5 minute call John was able to reinstate my membership with no issues whatsoever. This was a breeze after the membership coordinator at the gym I normally attend tried to have my get a new membership at a higher rate and charge me new initiation fees. THANK YOU JOHN - HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIGNING UP WITH HIM @ 81ST ST.

Experiencia fantástica: Dear W 83rd St. Crunch Fitness and the Crunch Management team, I wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU for letting me workout yesterday. To the manager Ali Schulman, had you not had a client when I was leaving, I would’ve stopped to chat with you and say thank you in person and phrase you and your gym. Your club is amazing. Clean, well staffed, and GREAT equipment. All the club members, of all training levels, were nice to me and very courteous. And OMG the equipment. I loved every piece of equipment I used. And such a huge amount of equipment and selection. I have been lifting and working out 40+ yrs and I’ve trained at gyms all over the east coast; Maine to Fla. Your gym is the best I’ve ever trained at. Your gym gets an A+!!! My next trip to NYC I will be back to Crunch Fitness W83rd St. See you then. Thank you again, Bill Kugel Manchester

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Professionalism The epitome of professionalism and customer service, John in memberships went above and beyond to help me give my husband the gift of good health. I highly recommend speaking to John. He was warm, knowledgeable and efficiently customized a membership package that personally met my husband's needs. Thank you, John!

Experiencia fantástica: I joined Crunch on 83rd Street at the beginning of April foe a short-term membership. Their membership manager, John Radzik, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. He gave me the best options available, showed me every nook and cranny of the place and checked-up on me whenever I would come to workout to make sure I was getting everything I wanted out of the facility and membership. It was a very pleasant experience at Crunch and John made it even more so.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of this Crunch gym for more than two decades, joining when my nearly 21-year-old son was 6 months old. I have seen a lot of managers come and go, but I want to give a 10-STAR REVIEW to Ali Schulman, the current general manager at the 83rd St. branch. She is a remarkably smart, effective, kind, and member-centric manager who makes coming to the gym, which I love doing, an even better experience! She has navigated this gym through plenty -- renovations, reconstruction, COVID!! -- and always focuses on making sure that Crunch members are well taken care of, that the gym is excellently maintained and pristine, the staff helpful and respectful, and that the Crunch gym always maintains its welcoming, no-judgement, become-the-best-you-can-be culture. Whenever I had any problem, Ali would make sure that it was taken care of right away. She is a wonderful asset to this gym and to the Crunch corporation. I can't say enough great things about Ali Schulman and the gym that she runs!

Experiencia fantástica: I switched to crunch from blink, after having tons of trouble with them. The staff (Mo and John) are so friendly, the remember me by name and greet me as soon as I walk through the door. The gym is clean, and never busy! Its small but cute, and they have everything I need at my gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Joined the day gyms reopened in NYC. Great Gym with excellent equipment, helpful & friendly staff. Crunch is incredibly clean & well maintained. Really happy with my decision to join.

Experiencia fantástica: Started using the gym again about 3 weeks ago, and post-lockdown protocols are just terrific. Sparkling clean, sanitizer and spray everywhere, some machines cordoned off to maintain space. The staff is even friendlier and more helpful than before. I started working again with my trainer, and feel completely comfortable. He sanitizes everything before and after. I still avoid the cramped locker room as much as possible for safety sake, but have NO qualms about the overall cleanliness, attention to protocols, and helpfulness of the team. And Shalah and his group of trainers are the best: focused, attentive, and really personalize the training for what you need. Couldn't be happier!

Experiencia fantástica: This is by far the best experience I’ve had with a gym in Manhattan. It’s fully stocked in terms of equipment, and it’s rare I have to wait for anything - there are always alternatives if one machine is being used and there are tons of barbells that you can grab for compound lifts in a separate space if you need. The club is clean & well maintained - I always see at least one person actively cleaning at all times - kudos! John is so helpful in setting memberships up & addressing concerns. I’ve always felt safe here during COVID. Management is receptive to feedback and truly cares about member concerns. The staff (front desk) are happy to answer questions and always greet me. The trainers are exceptional: I go to them often for advice & they’re always helpful and kind with great feedback. I have endless good things to say about this location & its staff. Between the options in the neighborhood, Crunch UWS is a no brainer.

Experiencia fantástica: It's very hard to do cardio wearing a mask. But Crunch and its members so far are doing a great job with covid protocols - lowered capacity, new ventilation system, distancing, wipedown of machines, etc. - so that I feel happy and safe working out at the gym. Can't wait for group classes to begin again.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Gym on the UWS!!! I feel very safe here during COVID. They are doing great with all protocols. They have everything you need (and then some) to get a great workout. The staff is super friendly and helpful, as well.

Experiencia fantástica: This location is always clean and offers lots of fun classes! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a good amount of cardio machines so you rarely have to wait for the one you want. Additionally the cancellation process is a breeze! I had to cancel because I was relocating. Many other gyms I’ve used before make you come in to the location you signed up at and have you pay a fee or the following month- not here. Very painless during a stressful move!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent gym. Always being cleaned and there are always at least two maintenance people working most times. There are several hand sanitizer stations placed strategically around the gym and sanitizing wipes near cardio machines. Most of the treadmills and cardio machines have been replaced recently. Except for the most crowded times there is never any waiting for equipment. Management, staff and trainers are all excellent and courteous. I have never seen any trainer bump a patron from the equipment. One only has to ask and they will adjust the temperature. Frankly, I can't understand the negative reviews. This is a great place and has only improved during the last year. Have been a member for 10 plus years.
