Crunch Fitness - Columbia MO

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member for one month and so far it has been a great experience! The gym is clean, there is a wide variety of equipment available and the staff is friendly. I typically avoid the peak times and it is not very busy when I go, I have never had to wait for any equipment. The BEST PART: The childcare workers are SO NICE. They do an amazing job with the kids and its such a relief to know my kids have someone kind and competent looking after them during my workout. The child care area has a mini-movie theater that my kids LOVE and the space is always very clean. My kids beg me to go to the gym - I never thought a 4 and 7 year old would be my biggest source of motivation! For the low cost, the whole thing is kind of unbelievable.

Experiencia positiva: Splendid equipment and space for the price, relatively well maintained considering the volume of traffic they get. Squat racks are a little on the sparse side with only 6 for a population of probably 200 plus regular members. Availability isn't too terrible on the weekends and early mornings though. My primary qualm is that there isn't a great place to stand around and wait for a rack that isn't in the way - you're kind of forced to stand sandwiched between two back machines, which is really frustrating if it's busy and people are trying to use them. The classes are worth the upgrade to 30 a month for me personally, as cardio is Satan reincarnate and it's nice to have a personified entity to feel that way towards instead of imagining one in my head. Jokes aside, great place, relatively well maintained, and neat classes with engaging instructors. Definitely worth it for the price.

Experiencia positiva: Meh. 3.5 stars. Most of the points lost are due to the clients and not the gym. If you're expecting a world class gym at 9 or 20 bucks a month, maybe re-evaluate your expectations? People who go here don't like to clean up after themselves, put weights away properly, etc. People are gross and come in with bad hygiene sometimes. It gets frustrating. You deal. All in all it's a good gym. Gets crowded. Wiped down equipment before and after you use it. Visit outside of peak hours. A lot of equipment to choose from.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, awesome new equipment, friendly staff, knowledgeable trainers, great amenities. No riff raff to deal with like other places in Como. And the gym is clean. Only bad thing I can say is that the spray bottles and paper towels need to be refilled more often. I look forward to my next workout eveytime.
