Crunch

This is the Crunch location I originally planned on working out at. I’ve also been to the Crunch location on Douglas Blvd, but I would have to say this one is a better location in terms of staff & location.
The equipment & machines at this location are older & not «shiny» as they advertise, but they still work fine. This location is actually much more crowded, but I always am greeted by friendly and helpful staff.
Throughout most of the day, this location is busier than the other. The machines tend to be more congested in the corner of the place, whereas the Douglas location has machines spread out.
I enjoyed this place more because while there are no classes going on in the fitness studio, they keep the lights on. My visit to the other location pales in comparison because they wouldn’t turn on the lights. Such a simple act. Thankful that this location allows gym members to utilize the studio during open hours. The only thing this location can improve on is to have the free weights bin unlocked inside the studio so members can utilize everything the studio offers.

Great gym I love working out here it has everything you need. There’s a worker name Maggie, she was extremely helpful and has a great attitude when greeting everybody. This gym has it all.

Decent gym with a variety of equipment. Can get VERY crowded at peak times. Biggest complaint is their wireless. It sucks!!! How can you not have decent wireless at a gym!!! Members pay enough in fees to get access to reliable wireless. Apparently it’s been an issue for years. Pretty sad…

Signed up for their Day Care services. When signing up I had told them I only needed to join for one month, because the kids where home for the summer. I got charged for two months. When I called and told them I only signed for a month, they told me that the Day Care services is like membership, you get charged monthly until you cancel which meant I had to fill a cancellation form the day I signed up??? REALLY. I was never told that. When I called back to talk to management I spoke to Matt who said all employee are told to tell customers that it is monthly charge until cancelled, and he can’t do nothing about, I needed to cancel 10 days before billing so he doesn’t see anything wrong with the charges.
I told him Yesterday I was told I needed to give 30 days notice today I was told 10 days before billing, who is correct?
I was a customer for a year and a half, maybe went to the gym for 3 months, got charge every month, which is fine, because that was told to me when signing up. This is unethical what crunch is doing. Their willing to lose a loyal customer and a bad Unilocal review over $ 40. Right now it is about principal !!! Will never join again
I wouldn’t even want to give them 1 star, zero should be an opinion.

Victor is one of the best zumba instructors! All my five stars are because of him. So sad he’s moving to the Bay. Wish he can guest host some classes in Crunch Rocklin occasionally.

Friendly staff. I was sold on my one day free trial. New equipments. Lots of free weights, treadmills, etc. For only $ 9.95 a month, you can’t beat this price.

This place is clean, affordable, and packed with the latest and greatest equipment. The staff is friendly and it’s a no-​pressure, judgment free environment. The owner, Mark, is a pioneer in the fitness industry and a wealth of knowledge. His passion for fitness shines through in these phenomenal health clubs. Class act!

I’ve been actively going to Crunch since it first opened a few years back. It has everything I personally need to keep me fit and healthy as for as gym equipment goes. Plenty of cardio machines, and free weights which is a big plus. The big downside that I do not understand is that your membership may only be used for one specific location. So if you’re out of town or somewhere else, you can’t use the facility! Pffff… Okay.

I’m a frequent crunch goer of this location. Also, having worked at a competitor gym chain and being a member of a multitude of other gyms in the past, I feel I’m able to get a good comparison of crunch’s pros and cons.
First and foremost, all gripes and complaints aside, it’s $ 10/​month. Granted there’s a yearly maintenance fee of $ 45 somewhere in there, but it’s so cheap, it could be a lot worse and the value would still be there.
The equipment is good not great. I would give it 4 stars. It is always clean and equipment is hardly ever broken. It would be 5 stars if they had dip belts available to use (you can bring your own though) and if they had heavier dumbbells. After talking with the staff, this is intentionally done because they do not want to promote a bodybuilding atmosphere. I get it and understand the market clientele they’re going for, however, it’s annoying for me. If you want a hardcore training facility go join golds.
I don’t use the classes but there is always a lot of people lined up for them, so I assume they’re good if that’s your jam.
Lastly, the facility and staff are excellent. The locker rooms (including showers) are always clean, and unlike 24 hour, where every old guy feels the need to walk around and stay completely naked for who knows what reason, crunch is very modest and this isn’t a huge problem. Parking is great and there’s never a problem finding a spot. All the staff members are very friendly. In fact, there’s not one that I wouldn’t give a 5 to for friendliness, if that plays a big factor on your decision.
In conclusion, it’s a fantastic gym that I would highly recommend checking out. If you’re looking for a hardcore bodybuilding gym, I would not recommend it, but if it’s close and convenient it will get the job done. Again, $ 10/​month you could have this and another gym membership and the value would still be there.
*The weekend hours are extremely frustrating. On Saturday and Sunday the gym closes at 7, so hopefully you don’t have any plans during the day otherwise it’ll be a rest day. I find myself about once a month having to go try and bum free passes from other local gyms cause I was busy and Crunch closes annoyingly early.

Disclaimer: I have recently moved and needed to cancel my membership.
I will write two separate reviews for this gym since most people are looking at two areas when choosing a gym: amenities and equipment & billing and membership.
Amenities & Equipment: 2.5 stars. It is nothing special and nothing fancy, but they have all the basic equipment you would need. While there are a number of broken machines that seem to take weeks to fix, there are enough that if you are not there during the busy hours, you will be fine. The locker rooms leave a lot to be desired, but if you have flip flops and your own towel/​lock, you will escape the horror stories. The stretching area is pretty great, and their set of kettlebells is substantial. I am a distance athlete (marathons and triathlons) so am mostly in the gym for plyometrics, light weight training, and cardio.
Billing & Membership: ZERO stars. The front desk staff is friendly, but they do not control the issues that come with membership. The billing and membership departments are a perfect example of where the left and right foot are doing their own thing — membership signs people up at their wonderfully cheap rates (yes appealing, but i suppose a good reason of how they make their money — fees, etc.), while billing takes forever to process anything. I will save you from my horror story, but just caution that you be sure to cancel before you move, and send every single correspondence with a request for signed confirmation (certified mail with signature).
Oh and last note: They would not refund or let me transfer any of my remaining training sessions (so there is money lost).

This gym is ok. I only go here cause it’s the closest gym located to my Nor Cal home. The old guy at the counter is rude and the gym could be cleaner, there’s mold on the water fountain and big clumps of dust bunnies under the gym equipment.

I had been a member of fitness 19 for almost the last five years. It wasn’t until last week that they gave us three days notice that they were closing. Fortunately Crunch is located right across the street. I was hesitant about joining because from what I’ve heard, it was always crowded and full of «meat heads». The front desk employee Matt was extremely friendly and helpful. He had me signed up within 15 minutes and even discounted the enrollment fee due to fitness 19. I’ve been working out here for three days now and I am pleasantly satisfied so far. It’s not anymore crowded than fitness 19 (at least at 8am it’s not) and the «meat heads» are few I’m really enjoying the extra space Crunch has to offer and the better updated equipment. Having an actual locker room is also a huge plus! I foresee this switch working out just fine!

Definitely a bit disappointed in Crunch. I’m a loyal gym goer and have enjoyed being here until last night. OMG I don’t know how there were so many people and it didn’t reach capacity. A total mad house.
Talking to a trainer revealed that Fitness 19 closed and Crunch signed up 150 people in 2 days! Get it together Crunch.

It is cheap but it is worth the price you pay. There is only one squat rack in the entire gym. The space is very limited and this must be the most overcrowded gym in the entire Sacramento area. The classes are booked up more than hour before they start. They don’t plan on expanding in this local area. Now that Fitness 19 closed it is even worse. Even the employees were complaining that there is no time that it is not extremely busy. Only join if you don’t mind fighting the crowds and waiting in lines to use equipment. I am surprised that they aren’t exceeding maximum occupancy. There were people bumping into me when I was trying to look around there. I can’t see myself getting an intense work out here.

I think I’m qualified to review gyms. In fact, way qualified for a fat guy.
In the past, I’ve lost 60 lbs with ease. OK, it wasn’t with ease. It hurt, every hour of cardio.
Apparently I didn’t learn my lesson because my family stopped going. We were enrolled in Cal Fit. Previously to that, I was enrolled at Planet Fitness.
I think that makes me unusually capable of judging Crunch.
They hold up well, being a closer comparison to the latter. They are a lot like Planet, but with better equipment.
I usually get there around 5am. There are a healthy amount of cars in the parking lot. I’ve never had an issue getting a machine. The weights are a little more crowded, you might have to wait at the weights. Get it? Wait at the… never mind.
I am determined to make fitness part of my schedule again, and Crunch allows me to do that affordably. They do have amenities like classes and tanning.
Since I’m pretty introverted and black I doubt I’ll be using either. That’s OK! Crunch allows you to work out on your terms, not your gym’s.
I like that.
Thanks Crunch!

I have been a member at this gym since the day it opened. There has been a lot of employee turn over at this gym since it opened. One employee that always seems to stand out because of superior customer service is Chris at the front desk. Whether it five or eleven in the morning, he always greets the guests by name or a friendly greeting. In addition, he always has a smile and a positive attitude. It is always a pleasure to see him in the morning with his upbeat attitude! In addition, he always wishes people a great day as they exit the gym.
Thank you Chris for always providing excellent customer service! You are definitely a gem at Crunch Fitness!
A great bonus at this Crunch location, you get a free water bottle for checking in! Thank you!

When I was traveling to Roseville/​Rocklin neighborhood, I was heading down to this coolest Crunch Fitness gym that everyone is talking about. This Rocklin Crunch Fitness has everything to offer. The equipment and the machines are well maintained and cleaned. The gym is very, huge wide space building, so you can workout easily in no time. It has the most cardio machines compare to the Elk Grove gym. There are lots of HDTVs across the building which you can watch your favorite channels while using the treadmills, or pumping up with the dumbbells. The staffers work excellent for treating the customer’s concerns, enrollments, and caring needs. It also has a daycare center, so you can bring your child or children to play there.
Now onto the personal trainers test. I chose Josh R. as my back-​up PT because he has the amazing workout skills to get the type of body you want like losing weight, gaining muscles, or getting back in shape. I re-​started the gaining muscles goal this year to test Josh’s workout plan. His workouts works fine as he demonstrated basic and intermediate workouts for me like learning barbell squats, kettlebell swings, etc. I’m very applauded for his efforts, so I’ll continue for my PT back-​up. The rest of the PTs are doing very well with no complaints at all which I’m very happy about it.
The Crunch Fitness plans are the same like the Howe Avenue and Elk Grove gyms costing $ 9.99 per month for basic and $ 19.99 per month for peak. As I noticed, the everyday peek hours are getting busy during early evenings and mornings, so you better be prepare to finish your workouts before the massive crowds will fill it up.
Overall, Crunch Fitness in Rocklin is the best Crunch Fitness gym that I’ve ever visited! I’ll come back for more, extremely workouts!

Matt @ the front desk took great care of me. Highly recommended!
I’ve been working out here for a couple years now & I love it.

Traveling from out of the area and came across Crunch from Google Maps. Really liked this facility, wide open floor plan with open cardio & weight area. To right is a separate huge room with 4 cable setups, 5 ab machines and plenty room for stretching, plyo work and wall to wall mirrors. Best part is the day pass was only $ 10 vs $ 20 – 25 when you visit Cal Family Fitness or 24hr. Nice gym for die hards or travelerS! :)

Great deal for the price.
I pay $ 20 a month and can bring in guests. There is a $ 10 basic option also.
The gym is always clean and well maintained. It is a great place for cardio and has a decent lifting set up.
A good amount of TVs with various channels on from HGTV to ESPN.
