Crunch Fitness - Flatbush

This is a pretty good Gym, just be very careful when you’re signing your contract. The guy told me it was a price, I signed on the little credit card machine thing, and I didn’t notice for 2 years (yea that’s on me) they were charging me almost double. They eventually fixed it, but only refunding me half of the money I feel was “stolen. ” Other than that, it’s a pretty good gym, the people are nice, it’s clean, and they have good classes.

Excelente gym? But now l went for more than two years, l had a teacher class the best in crown heights and him have a big group, and this gym fired a Edel, l’m no going anymore at this gym. I have been drove my car from very far for Edel, him give a lot respect and him made women stronger.

Not gonna lie I originally joined this gym just to hit the heavybag and do pad work but honestly since I've been going ive definitely felt at home. Never been a gym person so I was reluctant but the staff is official! If you want to get busy, put in work, learn and not worry about judgement go to the 3rd floor and ask for Genrit! Just had the best workout since i can’t remember. All kind of work! Full body. Already seeing results

I can do what I need to do at this gym and it's cheaper than competitors. That said, it feels like it's becoming more crowded at peak hours and deteriorating over time.

Several of the benches (including one of the popular bench press benches) have badly ripped padding. This is unsanitary and hasn't been fixed since it's been a problem (for probably more than a year at this point).

On top of that, there are many minor inconveniences due to poor maintenance that add up to big annoyances. Want to use the hand sanitizer in the men's locker room? Sorry, it's empty. Want to wipe down your machine? Sorry, you have to walk across the whole floor because on any given day only one dispenser will have any wipes left. Want to fill your water bottle at the fountain? If you use the second-floor water bottle filler it will come out at a trickle.

Final point: This place has a biometric entry system, meaning you are strongly encouraged to send your palm print to Amazon. Here you have a clientele that is largely made up of PoC who - because of Flatbush Crunch - are strongly encouraged to send their biometrics to Amazon, which seems like a terrible idea. You used to be able to scan your barcode as an alternative, but they took that away for some reason. So if you opt out of Amazon One, you now have to hand your membership card to someone behind the front desk who then manually enters your number on a computer.

Worst Crunch Fitness ever! Dis cancel my membership 7 months ago, these blood vampires still taking monthly fee off my account since then. STAY AWAY

I have joined Crunch Gym and I like the place, the environment and mostly the staff. The Manager is pleasant, easy to talk with and I notice yhat she address any issue in a timely manner. Arleen who does housekeeping is extremely pleasant, professional and do her job to the best. May I stress that she is fighting a battle to maintain the environment in a clean manner but there are some adults, who need to be home trained again because they are damn nasty with some of their behavior; but I notice, Arleen just smile and clean up their mess. She never says anything negative or complain about her work.
I had the pleasure of talking and interacting with another employee - ‘Faith’, this young is so pleasant, professional and extremely helpful. She is easy to approach and ask a question. She is ready to assist in anyway possible to help me a member. ‘Thank You’.
Crunch is lucky to have these employees. Happy members result in good outcomes. I am happy that I left Blink and joined Crunch.

Clean, great staff, but it's getting *extremely* crowded on week nights. Sometimes machines don't get fixed in weeks. The worst is when they hold classes on the 3rd floor (and not inside the classroom but by the general area where they also placed the free weights/benches) around 6 pm, eliminating the use of an entire floor.

Dropped in here while in town for work. Great place to train while on the road. They have a decent set-up if you need space/equipment for olympic weightlifting or powerlifting. Also the staff is amazing and super accommodating. I will definitely drop in again when I am up next.

It's ok. It's adequate. It's dilapidated but that's par for the course tragically for the neighborhood. Amazon recently took over the entry process - you can scan your hand to get in. How about Amazon give some money to do some BASIC refresh of the HIIIT equipment?

I really liked this gym before but now the machines are constantly broken and it takes forever to fix them. Theres 5 or 6 stairmasters and EACH ONE is broken now. Im sick of it

Special shout out to my personal trainer Immanuel Best. This was my first time having a trainer so I truly didn’t know what to expect. After these past 3 months, not only am I seeing results but the discipline and patience that I have developed from working with Immanuel are invaluable. The experience has been extremely rewarding mentally and physically.

I would like to thank Immanuel Best, personal trainer at Crunch Fitness Flatbush. His encouragement through the beginning of my fitness journey is appreciated. He deserves an excellent commendation for his dedication in helping others reach their fitness goal. He kept a positive attitude and worked with me to help me lose 20 lbs in my first month. I'm truly grateful and would recommend that anyone looking for an extraordinary trainer, to request him. They will be motivated to be the best version of themselves. Thank you again for all your help.

Gym is great.however the machines constantly have "OUT OF ORDER" signs. 0 out of 5 stairmaster machines work. NO BUENO

Durning my time at crunch I met Personal Trainer Immanuel Best, I told him I fail a fitness test for a job that I was applying to. He then gave me workouts to do on my own so that I can reach the goal of passing the test while also meeting once a week for training. In a matter of only 3 weeks I felt the confidence in my ability to take the test. So I took it again and I passed. I highly recommend if you have goals you want to reach!

SMDH! FIRST OFF, I LEFT ONE GYM AND CAME ACROSS CRUNCH FLATBUSH, I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED AND ABOUT TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP, THE SAME REASON I LEFT THAT OTHER GYM IS THE SAME REASON I WILL BE LEAVING CRUNCH FLATBUSH, DIRTY MACHINES AND NON WORKING EQUIPMENT WHEN I BEGIN THERE 2 OF THE STEAR MASTER WAS WORKING NOW OUT OF THE 5 NONE IS WORKI G HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KEEP UP WITH MY ROUTINE?

I canceled my membership before the annual fee and before that months charge back in April. I spoke to the general manager Jasmin about my refund and its been in "process " since April. And I can no longer reach her. Everytime I call employees say she's in a meeting. I just want my refund!

I would say this is a baseline good gym compared to others in the area, but a lot is left to be desired compared to past gyms I have used at the same price point. Let’s do a compliment sandwich.

The layout of the gym is good. Actually, it’s really good.

Now, the critique. When a machine breaks it stays broke for a while. 5 stairmaster machines but only one has worked for like, 2 months? The upper floor has a second set of free weights (great!) but the area is totally without mirrors. While I think this cuts down on the gratuitous gym selfie, mirrors help with form for gym goers across the spectrum of adeptness. The shower stalls have no hooks or anything for you to hang a shower bag on inside the shower, a small detail that actually does impact quality of experience. There is frequently the smell of burning plastic in the basement but I don’t totally blame the gym, just seems an exhaust is blowing hot air on the latex paint and slowly…melting it. Last up, gonna be totally honest the amazon one thing is, personally speaking, deeply alienating. I will never sign up for it. Why can I not scan myself in? Why must I deal with technocracy at the gym?

And final words: Staff is patient and kind. They seem to also not be loving certain things at the gym. Generally accommodating about most things.

This gym is pretty good, I only joined late March and I’m down 24 lbs thanks to the trainer I was assigned. Immanuel is the Best. I started at 188 with Immanuel and did 3days a week plus some kinda sorta lazy at home workouts, followed the meal and diet advice he gave me and now I’m 164.2. Just join and book a few sessions with Immanuel and get some results

Great gym, clean, lots of equipment. Excellent staff. Lots of anti COVID measures. Definitely adds to quality of life of members. Very clean. I have returned a year later after a long absence on my part. The vibe in the gym is excellent. There is a diverse crowd. The staff is professional and caring. The personal trainers are very knowledgeable and patient. They will work with you to achieve your goals. Well worth the money and a solid investment in your health.

This gym doesn’t even deserve 1 star! You guys are pathetic! You guys are thieves. You guys go into peoples accounts and steal money for services they didn’t even get. You guys are pathetic.
