I joined Crunch for the closest thing to CrossFit I could find, which is their HIIT program. I am…read morewell versed in CrossFit, but it is cost prohibitive in this area, so HIIT, being a form of CrossFit, was the next best thing. I took 3 HIIT classes for free before joining the gym. The $9.99 per month membership does not include the classes so I signed up for the top tier at $29.99 a month. Definitely doable. Sadly though, the early morning and Friday HIIT classes were cancelled almost immediately after I joined, due to lack of participation. Lucky for me, my work schedule allows me to take the classes at 930am M-T. They also offer them at 6p. Carolyn is the HIIT trainer on the weekdays. I like her style, she's bubbly and motivational and I usually work up a good sweat. I've taken Traci's class on Saturdays, which is very intense. The HIIT zone has all the stuff...Pylo boxes, Battle Ropes, Pull Downs, Bar Jack, Slam Balls, Medicine Balls, etc. Crunch offers spin classes as well as several others. Aerobics, Zumba, All Out Athlete, Chisel, to name a few. I did a couple with Ruth and they were brutal, in a great way. I think the gym has every piece of work out equipment one could ever want, EXCEPT for the Smith Machine, which I really like if I'm lifting because I simply feel safer. The ONLY reason I'm giving Crunch 4 stars instead of 5 is that one day I asked for help understanding a machine and I was kind of brushed off. My fault for not being a little more assertive, being that I pay to play there, Because I came in for the classes and didn't ask for more, that's where I'm at. I'll work it out. All in all, I am enjoying Crunch and the HIIT Zone, even on days when I can't show up for class.

Absolutely horrible!! when I joined crunch, I signed up for a year contract and added three months…read morepersonal training. I have worked in several gyms so I really know what to do, but I needed the motivation to have personal trainer. When my agreement was up for the year, I signed up for another year, but did not sign up for personal training. Unfortunately, I had been going out of town all the time because my brother has been very ill and in and out of the hospital with end stage emphysema. Months went by and I wasn't able to use the gym because I was in Pennsylvania. Then come to find out they kept charging my account outrageous amounts and when I called, they said it was for personal training. I told them I never signed up for personal training and they insisted that I did. I I told them over and over again and even dropped off a letter to them stating I never signed up for the personal training only for the membership. I even wrote cease and desists letters. So I do not owe them money for personal training. I even have documentation to show that I was out of town the date that Brandon signed the contract. Because it was not me and it was not my signature on the contract that they showed me. Again, I have disputed this over and over again and they don't care. I wrote letters to them, I contacted my credit card company and reported it as fraud. They still say I owe them money. I have informed them that he forged the contract. That I would never sign up for a years worth of personal training. Especially with my brother being sick. The most I've ever signed up for at any gym was three months.. Because I know what to do with the equipment and I know the programs I need to use from working at gyms. These gyms include the Ymca, MAC, Sport & Health Club and i helped open a Cross Fit. It's appalling that this has not only happened to me but to others. They are taking me to court for the $250 that I DO NOT OWE. I have no problem filing a counter suit and I intend on fighting this in court. I do not sign my name with a squiggly line. Any company that allows this to happen is not trustworthy and should be shut down. Not to mention that Brandon (Brendon) should be charged with forgery.

The evening Kids Club girls truly enjoy watching children. It is not just a job to them. They play with the kids and listen to them. They are absolutely amazing and have become family to me. If it wasn't for them taking care of my babies, I wouldn't have lost 30lbs in 4 months and be able to achieve my fitness goals. This is definitely a family environment. The only thing that could be improved upon at all at MAC is the management/workers for the Kids Club morning crew. Both times I took my children there in the morning, there were issues and I didn't get the welcoming vibe we get with the evening crew. It's unfortunate I can only workout in the evening but it's become habit now. We LOVEEEEE MAC!!!!

Paying for a lot of facility (pool, tennis courts, etc.) that I don't use, so no longer felt like it was good value for the fees. Also, noticed that the classes I took were very crowded, there were a wide range of ages (kids and seniors in with mid-range adults), and I felt the facility was not always as clean as I would have liked. The staff often seemed over-scheduled and stressed. In all, not a good experience for the money.

1 star - The only reason I still come to this Gold's Gym is convenience, because the overall…read moreexperience is disappointing. The biggest issue is that members constantly leave weights, bars, and other equipment wherever they finish using them, and it apparently just stays there until the next person picks it up and moves it to its new home. Re-racking weights and returning equipment should be the most basic rule in any gym, yet here it feels completely optional. Instead of being able to move through your workout, you will more often than not waste time searching for the equipment you need because someone else could not be bothered to put it back. What makes it worse is that this is not a hidden problem. There are signs throughout the gym reminding people to re-rack weights, but they do not seem to be enforced in any meaningful way. At that point, the signs are just decoration. I also regularly see personal trainers and membership coordinators standing around the front desk joking, talking, essentially socializing while the gym floor stays disorganized. There is nothing wrong with this, and morale does matter, but when there is clearly downtime, no clients to attend to, and the gym is that disorganized, that time would be better spent keeping the floor in order, returning misplaced equipment, and reinforcing the rules that are already posted. Then in the future they could reclaim that time instead of letting the same problem continue. For a paying member, it gets old fast. People join a gym to work out, not to spend part of every session cleaning up after strangers and hunting down bars, plates, or attachments that should already be where they belong. If you are considering joining, just know that the convenience of this location is doing a lot of heavy lifting, because management and basic gym etiquette are not.

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee. Couldn't recommend both more!
