    If youre like an upper novice powerlifter and youre like me, this place is 3 minutes from my house…read moredriving, theres a bathroom, shower, and its like $13 to get out of the house 3 times a week. Before this I was spending exactly the same amount of time doomscrolling on my phone per night. The staff are all absolute sweethearts, theyre always working and cleaning. The bathrooms are gross in ANY gym, it can get gnarly here but I've never had to do the big one here. You just need to accept that. Everybody says hi, the entire PF stigma around big lifting is completely unfounded for this location. I go 2-3 wheels on the big lifts and nobody cares, no stares, didn't set the alarm off. It makes noise when I rack it. Nobody has ever once spoke to me. I'm on week 7. It's only going to get bigger. The price is so cheap I've literally paid $26 to get a 3 plate deadlift which is the best ROI of any money I've spent. For the past 2 months I've belong to multiple gyms at the same time to feel them out. Not only do more expensive gyms have less equipment, that is maintained very poorly, or the entire place smells Indian as hell (absolute deal breaker 9000), but then you pay $60, it closes at ridiculous hours so youre dealing with a morning or after work stampede and I do not rushing or asking if someone is still using something because everybody has their own journey and they have a right to take their time and enjoy their privacy. So after my first two months of belonging to 4 gyms simultaneously for a trial week, PF is actually the winner (Anytime/24/Barbell/PF)

    I just wanted to give a shoutout to Cheyenne B. for her OUTSTANDING customer care. Thank you so…read moremuch for your stellar Service!!! Thank you Planet Fitness!!! You hired Just right!!! Jim H.

    Just moved to the area from the South side and tried out this American Barbell location. It's okay…read more Great machines, less packed than the South SJ location. Honestly if they dimmed the lights it would be way better.

    Used a guest pass here when I was shopping around for gyms recently. I can understand why some…read morepeople like it, just not my cup of tea. Plenty of machines, not the best layout with cardio and a workout room / lockers upstairs and the weights downstairs. No free weights in the workout room so you'd have to lug them up the stairs and back down when done. Everything seems really old? Like someone collecting gym machines and when they get a new one, they just push the other one over a couple feet... It makes the space feel disjointed and chaotic. I don't know if I'll ever get the smell out of my nose... gym bro / gals, socks, sweat, and air freshener to attempt to mask it. Also, I've never had so many people interrupt my workout mid set to ask to use what I'm in the process of using... I understand working in when it's packed. But it wasn't, it was off times and people were still interrupting to take things... Very odd sense of entitlement, just wait 10 minutes until I'm done please. Example, I'm hip thrusting on the platforms and someone asks to squat on the rack in front of me on 12 pm on a Friday... the squat rack over opened up 1 minute after they started their set...? I feel like that's just the norm and culture here which I'm not a fan of. Also guy to girl ratio is off the charts at like 15:1. No comment there. Again understand why some people like it, but it was a little outdated and the vibe was off for me.

    I toured several gyms in the area--Crunch Fitness - San Jose Winchester, City Sports Club (formerly…read more49ers Fit), Anytime Fitness, and Vim + Vigor Fitness (formerly Fitness 19)--and Crunch was the clear winner for me. City Sports felt too dark and had a bit of an intimidating vibe--mostly already-fit people and I didn't see many women in the free weight area. I also didn't love that everything faces the mall windows, and the inability to pay for a full year upfront was a downside. Anytime Fitness was convenient with 24/7 access, but it felt too small for my needs and was on the pricier side. Vim + Vigor was also expensive and consistently busy. Crunch, on the other hand, just felt right. I did a 3-day pass and had a really comfortable experience. No one staring, no awkward vibes--just a solid, welcoming environment. There's plenty of equipment: machines, free weights, a HIIT area, and circuit training options. The studio space is large and offers a good variety of classes. The front desk staff were also a standout--friendly and genuinely helpful. Denise gave me a tour, and she was great--very nice, motivating, and easy to talk to. We had a good chat, which made the whole experience feel even more welcoming. Trevor is helpful as well and has kept in touch over email. Yes, it gets busy during peak times (I went around 4:30-5:00 PM), but let's be real--this is the Bay Area, every gym is busy then. Big bonus: the recovery area. Red light sauna, red light therapy, hydro massage beds, and massage chairs--honestly, that alone sets it apart. Also worth noting: instead of a traditional locker room, they have individual bathroom/shower setups, which gives you more privacy. Another plus--Crunch lets you pay for the full year upfront, which can save you a little money... and let's be honest, we could all use that right now. Only downside across the board--none of these gyms have a pool or hot tub, which would've been nice. Overall, Crunch on Winchester strikes the best balance of comfort, equipment, and value. It made working out feel doable again--and that's saying something. It is closer to home than the others which is a bonus as well. I plan on joining Crunch this week

It's a fun playground where I go to play, to process, to express, to connect, and to release. From day one, this space has felt safe, welcoming, and grounding. What stands out most is the community. I deeply value connection, and as a new member, I've genuinely appreciated the friendliness and openness of the people here. The gym-goers I've met have been kind, encouraging, and warm! I feel right at home! Of course...creating this kind of culture doesn't just happen. It's a reflection of the incredible staff who hold the energy of this place. Special shout-outs to Eli (manager), Anthony (sales), Diana and Elias (welcome desk), and the entire team, from the amazing front desk to the cleaning and maintenance staff who keep everything squeaky clean and running smoothly. Your care and effort are felt! Deep gratitude for this gym and for everyone who contributes to making it such a welcoming and uplifting space. I'm really thankful to be part of this community!

    Last Sunday, April 18, I informed the front desk staff that many of the locks in the downstairs…read morewomen's changing room were broken. I was told that someone would be sent to repair them. However, three days later, when I returned on Wednesday, the locks were still not fixed and remained broken. What was even more upsetting and uncomfortable was the staff's attitude. When I went back to speak with the front desk again, the same person showed no sincerity or willingness to apologize. Instead, they appeared indifferent, as if the issue had nothing to do with them. I will be reporting this poor service attitude to management. It is now 2026, and it is honestly shocking that the level of service can still be this bad. If there were an option to give zero stars, I would not hesitate to do so.

    Great Workout, Helpful Trainer (But Please, No More Pitbull!)…read more Tried out a class today and had the pleasure of training with Kyle. He's a solid trainer--knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to form. As a first-timer, I really appreciated his guidance on maintaining the right heart rate zone (above 91%) to maximize the workout. That tip alone made a big difference! Kyle was especially helpful with core exercises, ensuring I engaged my abs properly. He also gave great tips on tricep workouts and proper glute stretches, which really helped me avoid post-workout tightness. The rotating stations kept things dynamic, and I definitely felt the burn in my core and legs--just the kind of workout I was hoping for. The ambience was energetic, and the music kept things moving... except for Pitbull. I have no idea why he was on the playlist, but I wouldn't mind never hearing him in a workout class again! That aside, the experience was great, and I'll definitely be back. the workout was solid, and I left feeling accomplished. Looking forward to my next session!
