This location opened summer 2025 and the draw for us was the price and the hours of operation…read more Mondays open at 5am then stay all the way open 24/7 till Friday nights at 11pm when they close, Saturdays & Sundays 7am-9pm. A lot of space, lots of options for lifting, cardio, tread machines, stair climbers, bikes and so much more! They offer classes and have a child care department. Everyone's feedback will be different depending on what time you head to the gym. Naturally the times you go during the week after 5pm it'll be more packed than at 5am. For us, early morning is best! Most of the "regulars" recognize each other and pretty respectful of each other and the gym. We couldn't give 5 stars because 1) the smith machine area and free weight area is usually pretty dusty and dirty. The top of the cabinet next to the smith machines and the top of the machines themselves never get wiped down and it's not vacuumed in that area either. The AC and fans blow the dust around and can make working out a bit challenging when breathing in all that dust. A quick vacuum to the baseboards and around the machines and dumbbell racks would go a long way; 2) they do not monitor people vaping in the gym or smoking right outside the gym doors. A fitness center like this pushes health and wellness - but hard to do that when they continually allow people to vape in the gym (regardless of whether you think that has an affect on those around them or not - it doesn't matter - this type of activity needs to be done outside of the gym). People also have lit up as soon as they leave the gym doors and all that cigarette smoke gets blown right back into the gym. We would've given less stars but they have two staff members that has made our times at Crunch Fitness so much better: Robert (trainer who is there early in the morning) and Logan who is also there in the early mornings! Robert is quick to help and answer any questions we have - and is never pushy about signing up for training. He provides your options and allows you the space to decide what's best for you. Logan is one of the hardest working guys we see at gyms like this. He's always cleaning, we see him refilling the paper towels regularly and always keeping an eye out for the safety of those using the gym while we're there! He's the only one besides Robert that has made an effort to remember our names and is genuinely concerned when they don't see us for a few days. Nice to see people who genuinely care in an industry like this! Hopefully Crunch Fitness will recognize these men for going above and beyond!

So crunch. You let me in for 30 min and let me lift with my friend who is under 18 too. On your…read morewebsite you never mention an age for using the free trial so I'm not sure why you let me lift and then kick me out after the fact. And the only way you would let me stay was if I payed 15$?? Terrible gym makes no sense

I've been a Planet Fitness member for years. I switched from the Urbandale gym to the one on SE…read more14th when my fiancé and I moved in 2018. When we first started going, it wasn't too bad. I was sad to see that the one on SE 14th does not honor or do the Black Card Trial Days like the one in Urbandale did. I even got an e-mail about it in October and was excited to try it out, with the hopes of signing up for it (honestly to make sure the amenities worked), and was told that they had no idea what I was talking about even when I showed them the e-mail from corporate. Lately, it seems like the upkeep on the machines and workout equipment is extremely lacking as well as general maintenance around the gym. I went in a few Saturday's ago to a broken outer front door and broken interior front door on opposite sides. Then proceeded to walk through to the women's room to see that both water fountains were not working, nor were 3 of the 4 brand new (within the last 2 months) stair machines. What makes it worse, in my opinion, is that they just take paper and write "BROKEN" and a huge sad face and place it on the things that aren't working. I haven't been to the gym in months without seeing at least 2 or 3 of these signs every time I go. My fiancé has claimed that the showers and toilets in the men's room are not the greatest and half the time the sinks are not working. Luckily, I haven't seen much of an issue in the women's room. Overall, staff is fairly friendly and always greet you when you check in. There's been a lot of turnover since I've started coming here, and there for a while it seemed like a manager was always around when I was there in the afternoons making sure things were stocked and cleaned properly. I know that I've seen the same piece of gum on the floor by the hip abductor machine for 3 months... so that's not getting cleaned. I understand that things happen, but I really wish management or the company would take charge and fix the things that need done. I know that the monthly fee is $10 or $20, but each year we also pay a club maintenance fee. It doesn't seem to be doing any sort of good if they aren't using it to keep us coming back.

I've been a member of this Planet Fitness for three years and usually the staff is great. On August…read more25, 2025, I asked the front desk--who I later learned was the manager, Miguel--if the TVs could be coordinated with their correct network tags. He seemed irritated. Later, while I was on the treadmill, Miguel and another employee looked at me and were talking; as I left, I asked the other employee if there was an issue? The employee yelled, "It's all about you, dude!" while eating and having ear buds in. I called the next day and told Miguel a better way to handle it would have been, "I'm sorry--I'll look into it." He apologized, I said that was all I needed, and then he disconnected the call. This didn't feel like a Judgment Free Zone, and I no longer feel comfortable here. I don't recommend this location.

Well, I had ran into Thomas the man that runs this program a couple days ago and he had the nerve to ask me to remove my one star rating to make him look better to make his program look better. This is unacceptable. When I met Thomas, I explain to him how important my sobriety was and he put people in my path That actively drink and use marijuana. This is not acceptable from the outside. This looks like a wonderful program. I'm telling you be cautious. My sobriety is the most important thing to me and I was better off on my own because I had control over who was in my life this program put people that were actively using in my path

From our sessions, I could immediately see his strong passion for helping others. He is an exceptional listener and constantly communicative, two important aspects in coaching. His kindness and ambitions truly show in the things he's doing for people through this community he's created. I am excited to see his work that will reach out a helping hand for many.
