Don't bother if you aren't willing to push yourself at least a little. All the teachers are friendly and professional, and obviously super skilled. I hope I can stick with it. I'm pretty sure I will. I'm a little older but not that old to get back in shape and stay that way. Right now it's Covid-19 time so we haven't moved on to BJJ and hard core Muay Thai, but as soon as this virus dies I'm looking forward to learning all of it. We do practice the kicks and punches though. I love how I feel after coming out of the place. But you have to push yourself or you will get nothing from what they have to offer. I want to be healthy in my old age, with the ability to fight for me and my family, if I need to defend myself.

Went to research this place as it was close to where I lived. As soon as I walked in I saw Charlie…read morewith 2 other trainers and told him I was interested in learning how to box. He immediately went into prices, focusing on the 'personal training' sessions that obviously cost more. After I told him that I couldn't afford 'personal training' he lost interest and coped an attitude. I asked if he could breakdown what the regiment would be for beginners - I essentially wanted to see what I would be getting for my money to which he replied with a nasty attitude " Getting F----- Up." He couldn't even tell me how he would train or what specifically he would be showing me. He might be a good fighter but he seems to be a crap trainer...I walked out and through his business card on the floor...From these other reviews I'm glad I didn't drop hard earned money.

My "personal training" sessions with Charlie, the owner of the gym, consisted of me jump roping, bag punching, doing push ups, etc., all while he hung out and talked to other folks at the gym. The dude definitely picks favorites and ignores you if you're not part of his inner circle. During push ups, he repeatedly cursed at me and threw things in my direction. Other times, Charlie would yell at other folks around the gym and tell them to help me with conditioning. He never lifted a finger during any "personal" session. The equipment, including the jump ropes and hand wraps, are extremely musty--reeking of sweat, as if they were not washed with enough detergent. I understand that the prices at this gym are relatively low compared to other gyms in the area, but it's honestly not worth it. Charlie is only there to take your money and try to convince you that you will learn to box through his boot camp/drill sergeant approach. Don't fall for it.

From the very beginning, I have felt embraced by a community that truly feels like family. It's hard to recall any real challenges because the sense of support and encouragement here is so strong. Every day at Crunch Rochdale begins with simple, warm gestures; even in the parking lot, we greet each other with smiles, eager to start our routines without delay. As we enter, Tina and the front desk staff welcome us by name, making everyone feel seen and valued.

Each day at Crunch Rochdale is a blessing and an opportunity, allowing us to nurture our strong minds, bodies, and souls within a truly loving community. Brenda C. Taveras member since 2021

Writing an updated review after returning to Crunch from a 3 year hiatus. I stopped going in 2023…read moreand then had a life-altering car accident in 2024 and has been in rehab/ PT since. Finally got the ok from my doctor to return to the gym. Crunch Fitness offers a solid, well-equipped environment for hit-the-ground-running workouts, but your experience will depend heavily on the clock. The gym sees its peak rush hours during the typical post-work window from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, as well as early mornings before 8:00 AM. During these busy times, high-demand equipment like squat racks, cables and popular selectorized strength machines require a lot of waiting or sharing. Navigating the floor requires patience or a willingness to swap out exercises on the fly. Conversely, hitting the floor between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM is more of a breeze. No wait times for treadmills, ellipticals etc. During these mid-morning hours, the crowd thins out significantly. You can seamlessly flow through your routine with ease. Some machines still have wait time. When you sign up, you receive a complimentary "Crunch Kickoff" session, which provides a helpful baseline assessment and orientation. However, be prepared for the aftermath. Once the initial kickoff concludes, the personal trainers can become a bit pushy with their sales pitches. If you prefer to train solo, you will need to set a firm boundary to keep them from encroaching on your personal workout space. One trainer came over in the middle of my workout trying to have a whole conversation. I was just trying to finish my routine and he wasn't pleased that I said I needed to finish because I needed to get back home as I was working remotely. After that things were awkward. Another trainer was heard telling his colleague not to help me correct my form with a specific equipment if I wasn't paying for personal training. That's horrible. Beyond the weight floor, the facility includes a relaxation zone equipped with a hydromassage bed. This is an excellent perk for post-workout recovery, allowing you to soothe tight muscles after a heavy lifting session. Because the recovery zone can also get busy during peak hours, visiting during off-peak times ensures you can hop right onto the bed without waiting. There is a shower which is usually clean and stocked even though I am not using it in the summer as I live close by. If you have the flexibility to avoid peak hours, it is a highly efficient facility. While a 9:00 AM-11:00 AM window is ideal for an unbothered, open-floor workout, adjusting your schedule to a 5:30 AM early morning slot ahead of the evening rush is the best strategy to keep your routine consistent and machine wait-times manageable when your schedule tightens up. Overall, I think the experience could be enhanced. When I signed up, no one toured the space or reviewed the equipment with me. That to me should be routine so it gives the impression that unless you're signing up for personal training, they don't care about the experience you're having and don't care to set you up for success.

This is going to be an excellent review, but before I tell you why I hold this place in high esteem, let me give you some background. I'm in my 30s, overweight, sedentary, and not used to being around "workout culture", if you know what I mean. I was nervous that I wouldn't really fit in, that I would be left behind in the dust of others who are physically fitter than I, and didn't really know what to expect. However, everyone here is extremely friendly and supportive - not just the staff, who are amazing and knowledgeable, but also the students. The instructors are patient, personable and provide great motivation without shaming you. The workouts are fun and well thought-out. This is more expensive than a gym membership, but it is also so much more rewarding. You really feel like you're part of a family when you train here, and, as for me, I am motivated to keep coming back! They also have classes for kids, and from what I've seen (I'm not a parent but have caught the tail end of some classes before my workout), the kids look like they're having an awesome time!
