I've been a member of Crunch Greenpoint for years, and I never thought I'd have to write a review…read morelike this. The recent "renovation" is not an upgrade, it's a complete downgrade that destroyed what made this gym unique and functional. The biggest issue is the turf. Moving the entire turf downstairs into a hot, poorly ventilated, dark basement makes absolutely no sense. There is no space to move at all. You can barely put a mat down without stepping onto someone else. The turf area is now a 3rd of its original size and the room feels cramped and borderline unusable. It's impossible to do HIIT, sled work, mobility, or any meaningful functional training. This decision alone has eliminated the soul of the gym. Upstairs is now crammed with machines, far too many for the amount of space. Instead of creating a better flow, the floor is overcrowded and chaotic; it feels like every inch was filled just for the sake of adding more equipment, not improving the member experience. What used to be a small but energetic and community-oriented gym now feels suffocating and disorganized. What's frustrating is that Crunch Greenpoint did need an upgrade, but this wasn't it. A real upgrade would have been removing some of the unnecessary machines and bringing in better functional training equipment, not burying the turf in a dungeon with no room to move. Crunch Greenpoint used to have character. It had a great vibe. It wasn't huge but it worked because the layout made sense. Now it feels like the gym identity was erased overnight. I genuinely don't understand the reasoning behind these changes, especially the decision to move the turf downstairs. It's a waste of space and a complete step backward. I do hope that these changes are reconsidered. The renovation did not modernize the gym, it dismantled what made this place great and worth coming to.

This is probably one of b my favorite crunch gyms to go to.

Disliked: terrible ventilation/climate control (asked if they could install fan, but they said nah), music too loud (had to wear earplugs), and the final straw: they rented out the yoga studio, so there is no quiet, out of the way place to stretch. Ended my membership and joined Grindhouse, which is cheaper, has good AC and high ceilings, plenty of machines, music not too loud, and has an OK place to stretch-- alas with no views.

I've been a regular at Debbie's incredible class for the past two years, and I can honestly say…read moreit's been a life-changing experience. Not only is it one of the most fun ways to get an hour of exercise in--seriously, it's like an hour-long dance party, minus the hangover the next day--it's also an incredibly positive, uplifting space where everyone is welcome and no one is judged. A rarity in New York--better (and cheaper!) than therapy! So what does it mean to "Dancorcize"? Well, it's an hour-long class with aerobic, choreographed routines--nothing too difficult and if it's your first class, by the end of the song, you'll know the routine. And if you don't, no biggie--as Debbie always says, the only rule is that you're having fun. The best part is really Debbie's musical selection. She's also a DJ, so knows exactly the right way to incorporate familiar and not-so-familiar songs, from reggaeton to '70s disco to '80s pop to all your current favorite songs. By the end of the class, the mood is akin to the happiest and most alive you've ever felt on the dance floor. She ends it with yoga-based stretching (she's also a certified yoga instructor) and a chill, always-welcome savasana with an ever-changing soundtrack. What more could a stressed-out New Yorker ask for? The space is a huge gym at a super cool non-denominational church across from the lovely McGorlick park in Greenpoint. The crowd is a fun mix of easy-going, dance-loving people of all ages. Bring sneakers, wear your bright colors and bold patterns and don't forget water and a towel, because you will definitely work up a good sweat. Everybody dance now!

I came as someone who was plateauing in my exercise regimen, and it was just what I needed to kickstart and see results.

To top it all off, the other Sessionistas in class with you are just what you want from a workout buddy - holding you accountable and cheering you on along the way.

My only complaint was with the front desk and with the initial reservation where I was told to bring a towel and told to make sure to tip accordingly. I'm aware that there are loads of people who do not know proper tipping etiquette but I'm not one of those people. I purchased two separate Groupon's, for two different people, paid twice the tax and gave twice the recommended tip so it didn't make sense to be told that only one towel would be provided. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. I'm aware, obviously that Erica played no part in any of what occurred prior to my actual detox experience and I wanted to be fair and rate it solely based on that. All in all, I would definitely return and definitely recommend. Thank you Erica for making our experience an enjoyable one.
