Crunch

Don’t join! It will cost you $ 49.00+ to quit — even if you haven’t used the facility for months. Was told that’s how they keep their monthly prices so low
It’s a rip-​off!

I have three gym memberships… This place is very good. You’re not going to get a bunch of idiots banging heavy weights… They have probably 100 pieces of cardio equipment, the weight section is a little small but I think it’s meant to cater to the quick, in and out cardio sprinkled with weights mentality. For $ 25 a month thou can bring someone with you and using their tanning… They do charge a $ 39 annual maintenance fee so it’s really 28/​month but it’s no contact, I got zero enrollment fee… The complaints on here are stupid. It’s a gym, from 5 – 8 it’s gonna be busy… Instead of complain, use the energy inside that place to do something good for yourself… Or get off your butt and get in when they open and start your day off great. I worked as a general manager for a much larger gym that seemed to never close and this little gym is cleaner, less crowded and more friendly.

So I just got bariatric surgery in November 2015. I started my journey weighing in at 317lds. I’ve lost a total of 111 pounds since then and it wasn’t just because I had the surgery it was because I am nonstop at this gym with these awesome people. Jan my Zumba Goddess has pulled me up and out of my old fat self and made me move and groove and shake my butt till it fell off! Mimi and Diane are also Zumba Royals who are intense and dynamic with their workouts, always a pleasure to be in one of their classes. Every single person who works at this gym is there to help you be the best you you can be! All of them have been sweet and helpful and encouraging. NO JUDGEMENTS is plastered all over the place. And I tell you what it’s true. My fat butt was on machines that made me look ridiculous, but not once was I made to feel inferior or ashamed. My Hafaflow yoga classes are so helpful and take my fitness to the next level. I can’t say enough good things about these people or this gym. So if you’ve never been there go, the prices are ridiculously reasonable and you can go to any of the other Crunch gyms also with your membership. My experience has changed my life for the better. I only have about 55 more pounds to go but I know I will never stop going. Thank you Crunch, for helping me and my family of 6 get their Mommy back healthier than ever. I will forever be in your dept. Bless you all.

If I could rate them 0 stars I would. They need to familiarize themselves with the federal law regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. They refused service to a friend with a disability that needed her service dog by her side. Their reasoning for it was that they could refuse service to anyone. This is ridiculous! This person has been to many Crunch locations and have never been refused service except at this location.

Crunch fitness is making a huge mistake… by only having Gwen teach one Zumba class! She should teach at least twice a week.
Also, the gym equipment is fantastic! The employees are kind and courteous and they are always smiling. This is one of the best gyms I have ever joined. I am glad they opened a location in Vista.

Careful when you sign up they say they waive a fee then in two months they charge you $ 39 and say its in the fine print… Feels like a scam… They acknowledged if you sign up online its not clear but if i would have come in for membership they would have told me verbally… Interesting… Beware so you are not caught off guard in two months when it appears on your card in addition to monthly membership fees… Steve in addition look further down at some of your reviews that indicate they continued to be charged even after cancellation…

The gym is good. Very clean and allot of brand new equipment I do agree with others that it is a bit full later at night but I tend to go early in the morning 5:30 am.
I’ve read some of these reviews and some of these people are ridiculous and very whiny. Look you go to a gym with some type of fitness and health goal. Not to complain about what channel the tv is on or why the cardio machines are in a row. Those complains are just childish and first world problems.
In my experience. The gym is good. Attentive employees, clean equipment, clean bathrooms, a plethora of equipment and overall good ventilation. And oh yes $ 10.00 per month you cannot beat a price like that.
So far I have not had any problems regarding to customer service. Like I mentioned before, the employees are very attentive. For those others who wrote negative reviews. You guys are just something else. Just some overprivileged Americans .
In all if you want to get in shape, stay in shape or better your health come. It is a good place and you cannot beat the price. Just make sure to schedule yourself for what suits you best, like I said before, later in the night it gets a bit packed. But through out the day it is quite empty.
Just a warning to ladies. I did notice some creepers looking at girls working out. But I’ve noticed them in other gyms also. So I am not biased to lessen my review. And for the person who wrote about «ghetto people» common stop judging others by how they look and you are obviously more busy judging others than working out.

The negative reviews have me stunned.
This is a great gym!
This is coming from a girl who used to work at a massive, expensive gym up north so it really means something.
If you go anytime between 5am and 4pm, it’s really open. The machines are nice and well maintained. It’s much smaller than my old gym up north yet they have so much more stuff! I LOVE the cross fit equipment, the alternative workout equipment (punching bags, rock climbing around the area, a bunch of stairs to exercise/​run up and down on), etc.
They aren’t so sectioned off like most gyms as well. It doesn’t feel like you have to be a body builder to be in the weight area. As a 124lb girl, who isn’t a cardio bunny, lifting my «heavy» weight in the weight section, I feel more than comfortable. I’m not intimidated. The whole gym feels like it’s for everyone.
I have the peak plus membership which is $ 25 a month. I get free tanning, free classes, and free hydro massages whenever I want. The hydo massage is EVERYTHING. I can’t believe it’s free with my membership. I also get to bring my husband, or anyone, as a guest whenever I want. All free.
The staff is nice. The members tend to keep to themselves listening to music, which is always a plus. Haha.
The cost to use only weights and cardio is just $ 10 which is even crazier. This is a great place to workout. Young, old, cardio, weight lifting, its good for all. No judgement.
The negative reviews are silly.
Ghetto people? If you live in Vista, you should know what people live around here. They are just people. Get out more. Creepers? They are at EVERY gym on occasion. Give them a look or talk to the front desk if it makes you that upset. Simple. Dirty machines? None that I’ve seen. Clean it. That’s the members fault really. Working a gym in the past makes me know that you don’t get around to cleaning machines every second, you do it when the gym is extremely slow. Otherwise, you can’t do much.
Its a nice gym. Go check it out for yourself.

Super bummer that I left a gym I love (Chuze Fitness) to join this one all because of the convenient location, mistake on my part.
I joined a few months back and have been disappointed since I joined. No matter what hour I came in, 5am or 5pm, the equipment is dirty (dusty and dried sweat).
5:30am one day working out, my machine kept shutting down, so I went to notify the front desk…2 girls with there backs turned to the gym were on Facebook and gossiping. No one was walking the floor cleaning equipment.
This gym is always crowded… and kind of ghetto… went in 2 days ago and only 2 treadmills available. I ended up cancelling my membership and I am back with Chuze Fitness.
The set up of the equipment sucks too… One time, I swear a member was video taping all the girls butts that were on the treadmills because while walking down the back row I turned to see why he had his phone up (looked suspicious), sure enough his camera/​video was on the screen.

Let me first say that I have never been successful at keeping use of a gym membership… Until I joined Crunch Vista. Everyone is very nice and they have a great selection of equipment and classes. I also signed up for personal training back in November which has been very helpful and is another motivator to get into the gym 3−5x/week. The membership costs are very affordable and this is in a great location for people in North Vista.

Nothing but COLD water in the showers… no sign (s) anywhere. Filtered water out too. 2 stars currently, otherwise higher.
Queen Elsa, this is your gym today. Annoyed, but «I’ll Let It Go.» Be back tomorrow.

Great place to get a great workout! The staff is helpful and courteous, the facilities are clean and well kept. I train 5 – 6 days a week and I never run out of things to do, the variety of equipment and the spacious lay out leave only your imagination to limit the possibilities.

Very pleased with Alfredo’s customer service. Although he was the only one working. He didn’t panic but was very helpful and I appreciate that as a customer. :)

Alfredo helped me and my Girlfriend cancel both of our memberships, no questions asked, no hassle and no complications. He was very helpful even though he was the only one there at the desk with a very long line of people. Thanks Alfredo, excellent customer service! Btw we are both still Crunch Gym members, we just had to switch our «Home» gym to the Carmel Valley location.

Great prices friendly staff. Good equipment to get a good work out. I like that its open early 5:00 AM. Close to home and work. I recommend Crunch

Wanted to give update regarding my previous review for crunch. Justin the manager of crunch was so apologetic and sincere when he personally called me to apologize. I’m very grateful that he took care of me and said it wouldn’t happen again.

I love this place! The tuesday night Zumba with Gwen is awesome love her! Its always nice and clean and a ton of machines to choose from. Awesome here 100% :)

Clean new gym, friendly staff, great class schedule and super affordable. It is a very down-​to-​earth gym with no egos. I like to see that everyone feels comfortable working out there
.

What more could you want for only $ 10 a month? I’ve been coming here at least 2 – 5 days a week for the past 3 or 4 months. It has everything that I need. Rows and rows of cardio machines. I’ve never had to fight someone for a machine. There is so many of them. They have T. Vs everywhere so If you don’t like what’s in front of you, you can look 5 inches over on either side and watch something else (lol). The bathrooms are nice and spacious with some lockers that you can use but you have to bring your own lock of course. I refuse to use gym showers however, no matter how new the facility is. To add for whoever wants to know, there are 2 shower stalls in the bathrooms. I like that it doesn’t have a pool because I hate the smell of chlorine while I’m working out.
I come from having a 24 hour fitness pass and I don’t miss it. Crunch has everything I need and What I use that 24 hour did without paying $ 30 more a month.
The employees are all super friendly and rarely let you walk out the door without saying have a nice day! And asking how your workout was :)

I have visited this location a total of 5x. Each time I have to wait and check in because I am originally from San Marcos (it is my home gym). I must say for the most part all of the front desk people have been friendly and helpful. The only issue I have encountered is that all of the staff do not know how to check people in from other home locations. Other than that the customer service is good and everyone has no problem showing you how the weights and machines work. The gym looks great! All of the equipment is new and they keep it very clean like all of the other Crunch locations, that I have visited. I have come at different times and the gym has not been super busy or crowded.
