A solid gym. Could be a great gym if they changed some equipment…read more Cons: - The functional space is nice, but overall lacks functional equipment (in my humble opinion). They only have ~2 TRX and limited resistance bands/kettlebells. They don't have rings, despite the space and structures to apply them. Recently, they sadly replaced the only Jammer for another cable universal (of which, there are many cables but no good substitute for a Jammer). -There are some Gruntasaurus Rex's here. This isn't the occasional, more reasonable grunt at the end of a one-rep max or end of a long superset.... it's the embarrassing grunt through every rep. Thankfully, the gym is sectioned off enough (long hallway) where those avoiding this can exercise away from this (e.g. women's gym on way other end) - The contract is quite binding. Need to move substantially away from a Gold's or have a doctor's note. Pro's: - It is relatively a large gym, which is overall well organized with ample weights/plates and various machines/benches/cardio machines/cardio theatre. A little tight on squat racks. The equipment stays reasonably cleaned and maintained. - If you like heavier dumbbells, this is one of the only places around that go up to 150's - The classes seem solid, and well attended - They have a solid functional space - Have saunas and the locker rooms are solid (bathrooms marginal) - Childcare is at a reasonable cost and has a good acceptance for different age groups. Haven't used, yet

Hope this message finds you well. I am extremely disturbed by an experience I had today, September…read more3rd, upon arriving at the facility. Normally I am greeted warmly by a wonderful staff member, but today an unfamiliar staff member named Jake approached me in a manner that was deeply unsettling. As soon as I walked in, he fixed me with a harsh, almost hostile look. He then rushed over to me and abruptly asked, "What gym do you usually go to?" His body language and the way he looked me up and down were aggressive and inappropriate, leaving me feeling highly uncomfortable, unwelcome, and singled out. What made the situation even more distressing was that just moments later, two other individuals walked past him and he made no effort to stop or question them. It was very clear that I was treated differently, and I cannot help but believe this was because of my skin color. This encounter was not only unprofessional but extremely disturbing. It made me feel discriminated against and as though I was not wanted in a place where I had every right to be, especially considering that I could have easily paid for entry that day. I am bringing this to your immediate attention because no member, guest, or visitor should ever feel targeted or harassed in this way. I recommend ANY other Golds gym in the area!!!

I turned 70 and found out I can get a reduced membership using Medicare Silver Sneaker. Signed up for the reduced membership and it's working like clockwork. Problem: you can't quit your old membership and have to pay it addition for all of perpetuity. Membership has tried everything to cancel previous membership but it still charges my credit card. Several attempts to talk with someone about why I'm paying for 2 memberships but they use AI and I'm wrong. I served during Vietnam to the Persian Gulf War. A reasonable person would correct this in a heartbeat but there's no upper management at AFF. Join this gym if you need more stress in your life.

I arrived for my scheduled 7:00 a.m. session with the assigned trainer, only to discover that he had quit. I immediately requested a refund and canceled the personal training services. Although another trainer was later assigned to cover the missed sessions, I requested that all future personal training sessions be canceled in accordance with the contract. Despite this, Crunch continued to withdraw funds from my account for personal training services through August 2025, even though no training was provided. I have been requesting a refund since August 2025, and as of January 2026, I have not received it. I have received no resolution from staff at the Brook Road location, and I am being repeatedly redirected without results. If this matter is not resolved promptly, my next step will be to pursue this issue in small claims court.

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee.
