    Very happy for the last year that I spent training here. I like the variety in powerlifting equipment, the fact that it is so clean and organized and all the members respect the rules. I also appreciate that the owners take their time to explain how everything works to make sure that everyone is safe and honors that training space. I am also a personal trainer full time and in that sense I like how non intimidating the environment is in general for someone who's never been in a non-commercial gym setting! The smaller gym space is nice for someone who would just want to hide and blend in BUT this is a good comfortable space to feel welcomed and learn how to train! Shout out to Mike and Henry who always welcome everyone and are professional, considerate and know how to run a great gym!

    This gym is better than any other commercial gym I have been to so far in my opinion. Where they stick with making everyone feel like they belong and create a inclusive space. No matter how long you have been lifting for to no matter who you are everyone is treated the same. Being surrounded by an amazing community like the one built here where everyone supports each other when they workout, is something that makes me always want to go back. Equipment is amazing and they always take care of it. They also are willing to always help if you don't know how to us certain equipment in which they provide at the gym.

    Hands down the best gym in OC! Owners have created this very supportive team environment. Equipment is phenomenal 7 combo racks 4 deadlift platforms 2 power racks A ton of power bars 6 or so deadlift bars 1 squat bar 2 ssb 1 swiss bar Weight lifting bars i have no idea what they're for though And knowing how much the owners care for their members More equipment or specialty bars are bound to come in. Best bang for your buck if you ask me. ***All rules are posted on front desk and if any questions of what is acceptable and what isn't all staff is always willing to help. ***

    Fantastic facility and staff. Messaged the owners (Henry and Michael) late at night to try to schedule a drop in for the next day. Henry was absolutely a pleasure to talk to and got me scheduled immediately. Andrew (front desk) provided a great overview of the facility and policies. All the athletes and staff are super friendly and the sense of community is palpable. Thank you for opening up your facility to me while I am traveling through California with my family on vacation.

    Exceed's the best powerlifting/weightlifting gym hands down. The staff and members play their part by keeping the equipment sanitized. Everybody is supportive and welcoming too! Don't be afraid to ask for anything, whether it's help or any advice on lifting. Also, our head of security is the best and cutest dog :)

    Love this new gym!! I used to go to a commercial gym, and there's a huge change in atmosphere in addition to equipment. The owners are super nice, and they always ask me if I need anything. I'm still newer to training so sometimes I have to ask one of the owners or another member for help with something, and they're always friendly and ready to help!! Definitely would come here if you're serious about getting into lifting or want a sense of community!!!

    I want to give genuine recognition to the entire team at Chuze Fitness in Fullerton, especially…read moreShawn, Prisma, Margarita, and Kevin. When I called regarding a billing issue, Shawn welcomed me warmly and immediately made me feel recognized and valued as a member. He listened carefully and assured me that my concerns would be directed to the appropriate person so the matter could be properly addressed. Prisma, the supervisor, then took the time to thoroughly understand what had happened. She investigated the issue, explored every possible remedy within the scope of her role, and made sure my concerns were not dismissed or passed over. Her professionalism, patience, and willingness to help were truly appreciated. Margarita, the assistant general manager, reviewed the situation in full, identified the error, and took complete accountability on behalf of the company. What impressed me most was that she did not simply blame a system or make excuses. She recognized that the team represents the company and treated the issue with the seriousness and ownership it deserved. She also went a step further by making sure the financial discrepancy was addressed and that I was appropriately compensated for the inconvenience. When I came into the gym, the team carefully removed the outdated payment information, cleared the billing setup, and helped me establish everything correctly from the beginning to reduce the possibility of this happening again. Kevin continued that same level of service. He was gracious, apologetic, attentive, and reassuring. He made it clear that the team would continue taking care of me moving forward. Mistakes can happen in any business. What reveals the quality of an organization is how its people respond when something goes wrong. This team listened, investigated, accepted responsibility, corrected the issue, and treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire process. The entire Fullerton Chuze Fitness team consistently creates a welcoming and high-performing environment. As someone who has experienced premium fitness clubs where memberships can cost hundreds of dollars, I can honestly say that Chuze has raised the bar for what an affordable fitness center can offer. The quality of the facility, the culture, the cleanliness and especially the customer service demonstrate that an exceptional experience does not have to come with an excessive price. I am extremely appreciative that my concern was not merely acknowledged, but genuinely heard, taken seriously, and fully addressed. I would confidently recommend the Fullerton Chuze Fitness location to everyone I know. Thank you again to Shawn, Prisma, Margarita, Kevin, and the entire team for your accountability, professionalism, empathy, and outstanding service.

    I've been coming to this gym for a while and feel like I can give a good assessment of this…read morelocation. This is a great gym without a pool. In terms of capacity, it's a good sized gym with working machines and a big yoga room and functional workout area. They have 6 punching bags that are always in working function, which I absolutely love as a boxer. The manager, Tracey, is amazing. I've had odd encounters with some people here and he resolved the issue immediately. The place is clean. But when the cleaning lady, Lady, is around, the place becomes spotless. She's super friendly and accommodating. All the staff at the front desk are nice and the trainers here are great at their jobs. They have a ton of classes here and the HIIT classes gets packed. It's a great facility with tons of friendly people and I would highly recommend this Crunch location.

Showers are missing doors, soap, soap dispensers, broken and missing shower heads, hair and trash on shower walls and floors, etc. I have attached photos and a video. The video shows a shower heads broke and fell on me during the middle of my shower. I couldn't put it back on - no matter how much I pushed, turned, etc. it. And the water pressure was extra hard and it hurt.

    I've been missing the gym since covid decided to pay us a visit, and when I heard about FITIQUE…read morefrom a friend, I knew I had to check it out. I'd trained with Kevin once before at my former gym, and felt he understood what I needed and how to push me the right way. Additionally, I'd heard that the covid requirements were strict at FITIQUE, which made me even more comfortable with going. With a hopeful mindset, I set up a training session, and went to check things out. I'm happy to report that FITIQUE is everything I wanted it to be - clean, great variety of equipment, and (as the name implies), an awesome boutique gym experience. Is it on the smaller side? Yes, but that's part of the appeal. Does it still have everything you need? Heck yeah. And for the money, I think it's totally worth it. I signed up for weekly sessions (wherein Kevin kicks my butt), and I can go to the gym whenever I want. Yes, you have to schedule time to go, but that makes me feel even safer there. Speaking of, in regards to covid, the safety practices are aces - sanitizing wipes readily available, hand sanitizer, constant wipe downs of the equipment, scheduled visits and limited visitors at any given time, and of course, masks required. TLDR; Kevin is awesome and this gym is just what I needed. Check it out if you want a different kind of gym experience than the large corporate joints.

    Do NOT sign up for personal training with this gym. I had purchased a package of training sessions…read morewhen I signed up for the gym. Not knowing at the time how many sessions that covered, and not being completely informed by the person who sold me this, I continued to agree to come to sessions with the trainer after I had used up the sessions in that original package, unknowingly. They do not inform you that you will be paying $324 a session after that, they just charge the card on file. No communication, no warning, they just take your money. The sessions last maybe an hour, definitely not worth the money. I had stopped with the trainer after spending too much money to get minimal results. Now, 5 months later they are charging me $972 for sessions that they claim I didn't pay for. I was on the phone for 30 minutes trying to figure this charge out until I finally got a competent representative after being transferred multiple times. The gym is okay, like previous reviews stated, the bathrooms are disgusting, there are always several machines out of order and on most of the treadmills, the tread is loose which makes them slip and can cause a serious injury. I would recommend any other gym in the area, this place will take your money and you will get nothing out of it. Biggest takeaway here: DO NOT SIGN UP FOR PERSONAL TRAINING. YouTube is free, and probably more helpful.
