    Tommie Harris, Ellison High School graduate, played for the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers…read more(as an defensive end), etc. Now he has donated funds to open up a family recreational center in his home town to make an impact on young children. TOUCHDOWN on my end!!! This rec center is newish (opened maybe 2/3 years ago), clean, and has state of the art equipment that works (unlike other fitness centers). Membership ranges depending on how long you want, but my family and I purchased the Family Package Deal--$40 for 4 people for 1 month (tongue twister). GREAT DEAL!!! All classes are included in the membership at no extra charge, which is awesome! They offer a range of classes from zumba, step, body blast, spin, and circuit training, and core training. All are super fun and you are definitely sweating at the end of them. There are also 2 basketball courts with open gym, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. The staff is super friendly upon walk in and are willing to give you a tour of the place if you are having doubts. Again, the place is CLEAN. I hate going to work out at a gym and the place smells like straight up feet with debris on the ground as you are trying to run on the treadmill. Throwup. No, the ground is aways free from any junk, and the people who work out here are respectful. After each use of the equipment, they are running to get a wipe to wipe down the machine. THANK YOUUUU. No slipping off the leg extension machine from the previous person's sweat. So, why 4 stars?? Well, after I work out I like to go shoot hoops after. Basketball courts were closed for 2 days straight. After the 2 days, they opened up again but with a limited time frame (5am-11am Mon-Fri; 7-10pm Sat-Sun). WHATTTTT?!?! I talked to the front desk lady, who explained to be that a 25ish year old man and a 17ish year old boy got in a fight during a pick up game, resulting in the limited hours. Why did management not just take away their memberships? Supposedly the city (since they own the place) asked for management to do so. Who knows how long this will be enforced, because the front desk lady was giving out names and contact info on who to complain to. All in all, this is a great place to get in shape and lose the fat. Gotta look good for the summer!!!

    A very good & inexpensive place to get a solid workout. I've been going here since my kids were in…read moremiddle school since 2011 almost 10 yrs.

    Absolutely love the quality and spacious size of this facility!…read more The equipment is in great shape and the gym is very spacious. Plenty of room for gym goers to comfortably conduct their workouts. The water pressure and temperature of the sinks is weak and cold, but the shower water pressure is strong and heated properly. This gym is definitely my favorite Crunch Fitness facility I've ever been to!

    I have been going to this location for 4 months and had to cancel my membership this week. Although…read moreI think there are good things about this gym, I had an extremely negative experience on the floor that led to me leaving. I was on the treadmill a few days ago and there are many TVs playing a few shows. They play the same shows all the time, and at every location (I was told later- which led to me leaving crunch completely). I saw a scene that showed a severe depiction of sexual violence against one woman from multiple men. I was shocked. I was off the treadmill before I even stopped it and told the first 2 staff that I saw, both person trainers. One of them was very apologetic. I tried to finish my workout but found that I was too deeply affected to continue, so I went into the locker room and showered and cried for several minutes. When I came back out I told the front lobby staff what I saw. A couple of them were consoling me as I was trying and failing to keep myself together as I described the scene to them. Everyone I told seemed genuinely shocked and was very apologetic. One of them went to get the manager, who was busy and never came out to talk to me. I waited at least 15 mins and then chose to grab my kids and leave. I couldn't go back to the gym the rest of that week. This week I decided to get back to it on Monday and when I walked in, I was surprised to see that they were still playing that channel. I immediately went back to the lobby and talked to them. They told me that when I was there they could turn off those TVs and turn them back on when I leave. That would obviously force me to rehash this every time I showed up, and I'm just not going to do that. I was told that they couldn't/wouldn't change the channel, and it played across all crunch locations, and I'm "just one person." This was days after I sobbed in their lobby. So I made the decision to leave the gym this week, which I know is 100% the right decision. This may not affect some people. But if you're someone that is sensitive to sexual violence in shows, and you get on the treadmill, stairs, elliptical, ect.. you may very likely see it. I looked it up afterwards, it's a TNT show called Cold Case. I hope this helps someone.

    Awesome program! Before this I only ever went to the gym and did cardio and group fitness classes…read morebecause I didn't know how to use the weights properly or how to work out specific muscle groups to target specific goals/results. The program keeps me motivated because it's a group of women all with similar goals and Shauna there to kick your butt. There are monthly health checks with Shauna to see how on track you are with your goals. The program has helped me feel more empowered and knowledgeable about using a gym and following a fitness program. I've lost weight, gained more muscle tone, and found a new confidence in a gym environment.

    I signed up with Vixen because I needed a push to get back into working out. When I first started…read moreeverything was great. I felt pushed and I felt encouraged; I was getting weekly meal plans sent to me per our "contract" we were meeting at our scheduled times everything was great. However about two-three months in everything changed. It was as if I wasn't being taken as seriously because I wasn't going to compete. I stopped receiving meal plans, weigh in's stopped and the accountability that was there at the beginning wasn't there anymore.  Shauna had made it very clear when I first started personal training sessions with her that If I wanted to cancel a session I had to do so in 24 hours; if not I would lose my session. That is a common rule for most trainers, so I made sure that I did my best to cancel 24 hour ahead of time when I did need to cancel; I think I only gave less than 24 hours' notice one time in the approx 7 months I went. Shauna on the other hand canceled on me 7 times within a span of 3 months with barely any fair warning; many were either an hour or three hours before the session. Many times she would cancel on me on the spot when I had just drove all the way down to field house, however the last straw broke when she no showed on me two times within two weeks. I drove down to field house; waited for her to show and she never did. Only to be told via text that she forgot to text me; completely un-professional. She holds this standard of cancelling within 24 hours for her clients but I am PAYING HER and she can't even be professional enough to do the same. I was paying her for a service I was not receiving, she wasn't showing and I hadn't received a meal plan in months.  It was as if she just stopped caring about me as a client because she had other clients who were competing and bringing in money for her. I had emailed her and told her that I would like a refund because I couldn't continue to be cancelled on. She replied with "I am Not issuing you a refund I am sorry for any inconvenience. You are scheduled Friday at 1 pm we can do a make up Wednesday at 1". I emailed her multiple times to work things out however instead of replying back she went into my account and deleted PAID sessions from my account.  After multiple attempts to receive a refund from Shauna due to her lack of providing services I contacted the Better Business Bureau. She never responded and refused to cooperate with the investigation. I had hope that we could work this out and she would provide me a refund, honestly I thought when I sent her my request for refund she would be happy to refund me and get rid of me as a client; since I wasn't competing and she never took me seriously. Shauna currently has approx. $500 of mine that she won't refund, and has went in to my account and deleted paid session's.  Shauna is also very intense, which can be a great as a trainer if done properly except she comes off as a bully at times. I have personally heard her discount and talk about her clients negatively. She has pointed out people to me at the gym and talked destructively about them. She even brags about going up to people and shaming them in front of others; telling them they aren't ready for competition and that they have a long way to go. She creates an environment where you are on eggshells; always wondering what mood she would be in that day. When she would talk badly about others especially her own clients I knew that she had to be talking bad about me as well and that never sat well with me.  I do acknowledge that Shauna has done great things for other people, and her group classes are awesome. However I cannot support a business like this and will continue to share my experience with others.
