    Calibrated rogue Powerlifting plates and Texas Power Bar!
    Jeffrey T.

    Best gym in remotely near the bronx! If you're a powerlifting enthusiast, this is the gym for you. At only a year old and only getting better! Monolifts, calibrated rogue plates, top of the line barbells, ample space for an amazing price, turf, strongman equipment and amazing members.

    Awesome hardcore big boys and girls gym Only issue is why aren't they opened at least until 10-10:30 Saturday and Sunday evenings. That would totally sell this hot spot !!!!!!

    I've never left a review before, but this gym has pushed me to my limit. The list of issues is…read moreendless. The air conditioning was broken for months this past summer -- forcing members, many of whom are minorities, to work out in unsafe heat. The facility is filthy, machines are constantly broken, and the saunas and pool were actually shut down by the health commissioner (yes, you read that right). The leg press has been broken for months, weights are scattered everywhere, and half the benches are ripped apart. The squat rack is always missing plates, and sometimes you can't even find a 10 lb weight. Every machine feels like it's about to fall apart. I tried to stick it out, but you can't even have a decent workout here -- it's impossible to track progress when everything's broken or missing. I finally canceled my membership. This gym is an embarrassment and should be inspected immediately.

    Former Member - Bronx Native…read more Before I joined the Navy, this gym was my regular spot. I lived five minutes away, born and raised in the Bronx, and for a while it felt like a community space. I'd run into people I grew up with, friends from high school, people I hadn't seen in years. That part meant a lot to me. Unfortunately, the front desk and management ruined it. First issue: I was pressured and misled into buying personal training I didn't need. Once I signed, the trainer couldn't even work with my schedule. No flexibility, no accountability -- just take the money and move on. Second: clear favoritism by staff. Certain people were allowed to play music out loud, break rules, and do whatever they wanted -- but when others did the same thing, suddenly it was a problem. That inconsistency creates a bad environment fast. Third: amenities constantly unavailable. Even years ago, when it was still XSport Fitness, the pool would be randomly closed. Add in parking issues -- paying for parking on certain days on top of a membership -- and it just felt like nickel-and-diming members. The biggest issue, though, was the front desk culture. Unprofessional, dismissive, and uncomfortable energy. There were maybe one or two decent staff members, but overall it felt like complaints were brushed off and members were made to feel like they were the problem for speaking up. I left, moved to California, and honestly thought about coming back to this gym when I returned -- only to find it shut down entirely. That didn't surprise me. When a business ignores its community and runs a place into the ground, this is usually how it ends. It's bittersweet. I'm sad the neighborhood lost a gym, because the community deserves recreational spaces. But I'm not surprised this one didn't survive. Poor management, poor treatment of members, and bad business decisions eventually catch up. I genuinely hope a better gym takes that space -- one that respects the Bronx community and actually runs the place the right way.

    Took a weekday afternoon tour recently…read more The front desk lady welcomed me cordially. To which I then asked if it would be possible to tour the gym. Within moments a young gentleman came to assist. During the tour I witnessed clean areas, with what I'd say were diehard gym members maintaining their fitness goals by either pumping iron, running on the treadmills, stretching in the group fitness room or swimming laps in the lap pool. Quite motivating. The young gentleman who gave me the tour walked me up, down several stairs and throughout all accessible areas of the gym. He was thorough and answered all of my questions without being pushy. The Pool area looked really appealing and the Ladies Locker room looked neat and well kept. The one thing lacking for me was a squash/racquetball court. I know this is not a popular take for all, but I think indoor courts could have been considered in the plans as the Waters Place area is a sprawling piece of land which could've easily accommodated at least two courts in the build. Another plus in having indoor courts is the accessibility during the colder months. Also at this stage, a racquetball court could have been converted into at least one Pickleball Court...definitely a missed opportunity. In my opinion, Owners/Contractors fail to realize that Bronxites are avid racquet sports players too. Imagine getting a great indoor court workout, and then an option to take a few laps in the pool, conveniently located within your area instead of having to trek across the bridge to another LA Fitness that has this amenity. When joining a gym you'd want these conveniences factored in to encourage you to visit as often as possible. Unsure of their membership fees, but at a glance a nice looking gym. Outdoor parking was available during the time I visited. And an indoor garage is also available. 3.5 Stars

    I dedicated six months to this gym and worked with an amazing trainer Manchester. Unfortunately,…read moredespite the positive experience with my trainer, I have to give this gym one star due to its lack of consideration and what feels like a focus on money over members. I found out I was pregnant and was not medically cleared by my doctor to continue working out. I immediately notified the gym and placed my membership on hold. Somehow, the hold was removed without my knowledge. As I approach my due date, I called to permanently cancel my membership and asked if the four personal training sessions I already paid for could be transferred to another Crunch location since I moved. I was told they could not be transferred and that the sessions would expire before I am medically cleared to return. Which makes no sense as I cannot force myself to workout. The only solution they offered was to purchase an additional month of personal training to prevent the sessions from expiring -- essentially requiring me to spend more money for time I won't even be able to use. This experience has been extremely disappointing and feels unfair, especially given the circumstances.

There is enough space, but nope, they need to come as close as possible to i guess provoke some kind of confrontation. Every single day is the same! I have already spoke to management about this. Is dangerous, plain and simple, what if i drop my weights or they on me? If they are working out in a space first i always stay away, but this is never the case. Oh lets not forget the fact that very few of them repack their weights after they finish with a client.
