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.

The swimming pool in Greenpoint has some strict staff that opens their doors at the time of the class otherwise the door is locked to the pool. The pool is very clean but very small. I did not expect the pool to be really deep when I got in. It seemed like it was 5 feet deep when the sign on the wall said 4 feet. Lockers are very clean. The only con I have is the entrance to this branch is it is not stroller and wheelchair accessible. Wish there was a ramp going up and down.

Avoid F45 Williamsburg at all costs…read more This was supposed to be my wife's first F45 class in New York. She was on the ClassPass waitlist, got the notification 20 minutes before class that a spot opened, signed up immediately, and drove over. She arrived two minutes before the class started, and was locked out of the gym. Once someone finally realized, it was 3 minutes later, and she was rudely denied entry by the staff member at the front desk (10:15am, Sept 27, 2025). She not only lost $20 in ClassPass credit, but was embarrassed and disrespected by the unreasonable woman working there. Denying a new member who clearly made the effort to get there, especially on their very first visit, is not just bad customer service - it's predatory and unethical. This is a business that seems more interested in scamming people out of credits than actually building a community. Brooklyn has countless gyms and studios that treat people with respect. Don't waste your time or money here. F45 Williamsburg has proven they will gladly take your money while turning you away at the door. Until they make this right, this location deserves to be avoided and held accountable.

Pros: staff is friendly and knowledgeable, facilities are clean Cons: Terrible studio set up !!! It's NYC and they can't control this, but i can't pay $30 / class to feel like im in danger. The rowers are literally directly behind the treadmill. They have you do some floor work in front of the rowers too, so while somebody is going "all out" and sprinting on the treds, your face is like 6" from their ass. If somebody trips (you OR them) somebody is going to be seriously injured. Another con is the music. Usually studios have a good cohesive playlist going, but this studio was terrible. They started with latin music, then switched to blink182? Then gaga and megan the stallion? then suddenly cut the music and switched to hardcore rap, then back to latin music. It sounded like they hit a random music generator button. it would be better if they just picked a general lane and stuck to that. Truly never knew what was gonna come next lol (in the worst way) If music and feeling safe isn't important to you, this studio is fine.

Note, there aren't any amenities, besides water refill, tissues and lockers. The front door is locked during class. And i was 2min late and luckily still let me in and didn't start yet.

They hogged the machines and treated the gym like a nightclub. In December 2024, I stopped going there. Crunch has two types of gyms: Signature clubs and non-Signature clubs. Signature clubs charge five times the monthly fees as non-Signature clubs, even though there's little difference between the two (it's not like your muscles magically grow faster at a Signature club). After the Rochdale debacle, I looked to join a non-Signature club at a location close to Manhattan and near a subway station. I chose Crunch Greenpoint. At Crunch Greenpoint, the people are friendly, the gym is fairly clean, and no one hogs machines. There are plenty of machines that will help you attain your goals- whether it's to get stronger, get toned, run faster, or lose weight. Overall, I recommend Crunch Greenpoint. With that said, it has quite a few flaws. The gym isn't ADA compliant. There's one rickety elevator that goes from the main fitness room to the basement. It does not go all the way to the entrance of the gym. This isn't an issue for 90% of the people who regularly go to the gym. However, there are people who work out despite having mobility issues due to an injury or a physical disability. I also dislike the layout of the gym. The gym is basically split into two floors. The treadmills, ellipticals, and most of the other machines are on the main floor. The bench press, smith machine, heavy weights, and group fitness room are in the basement. It's a pain in the ass having to go from the main room to the basement (and vice versa) to complete my workout. Also, unlike every other Crunch that I've been to, there's no water bottle refill station (there are fountains, but I'm not comfortable using them to refill my water bottle since people put their mouths near the spout). On that note, I look forward to my next workout at Crunch Greenpoint.

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.
