After, my response to a honest "hey I'd like to cancel"? MO is to run to the contract. Its a gym contract you'd think were buying a house here. It puts a bad taste to even want to come back in. But, that may be what you want ultimately, no one in the gym just a bunch of memberships expiring. OH WELL its just money.

The facility is quite clean and the service is fantastic. There is a gymnasium, group class sessions, bike room, and a stretching room.

Whether you're chasing PRs or just getting started with your fitness journey, this is a great spot. Everyone at the gym is super friendly, there's tons of natural light, and the space is always kept clean. The only downside is that it's right next to B.

I've joined their barebell basics class via class pass and liked it but your experience will highly depend on the instructor and the amount of people in your class. The one thing that I don't like about this gym is that they don't have any treadmills or stair master machines. I love getting cardio in after a heavy weightlifting sesh and feel that even just 1 machine of each would make all the difference.

But I recently had some training sessions with Coach Lyndsay, and she gets 5 stars for sure. I've been powerlifting recreationally for a long time and am actually certified to be a personal trainer myself, so I've had to try a few times to find somebody who could really elevate my training, but Coach Lyndsay absolutely blew me away. In just a couple sessions she was able to identify deficiencies in my mobility, provide technique suggestions, and give insightful feedback on my program. Overall went above and beyond. Fantastic person, and great value for all of the work and expertise she provided. Highly recommend.

Crunch Fitness on Polk Street is easily one of the most unique gyms in San Francisco. It's located…read moreinside an old theater, and the atmosphere is honestly amazing. High ceilings, dramatic lighting, and that historic vibe make workouts feel way less routine and a lot more motivating. That said, it does get very busy, especially during peak hours, so you may have to wait for equipment or adjust your workout a bit. It's also on the pricier side compared to other gyms, which is something to keep in mind. The main downside is the bathroom and locker area. The space is pretty small for how many members use the gym, and the amenities feel a bit limited given the cost. Overall, if you care about atmosphere and energy, this Crunch is a great option. Just be prepared for crowds and slightly cramped facilities.

He's also a dog lover and took great care of my dog while I worked out. Even gave him some treats which was super sweet of him!! I was initially worried I might not have access to the same equipment I had at other locations due to the smaller space but that wasn't an issue at all!! They also have a bunch of stuff to aid in recovery that I didn't know about. Ryan recommended the inflatable compression sleeves for my legs. I had never tried them before and he walked me through putting them on. Highly recommend this gym and am grateful for Ryan!

It honestly feels like you're in a submarine. The men's locker room is tiny, and like most gyms,…read morethey've oversold memberships and it shows everywhere. The pool is pure chaos. About a year ago, they had a policy of onsite lane reservations, which is the right thing to do if you don't have online lane reservations. You had a clear start and end time, could plan your workout, and actually get a full swim in. For some reason, they've stopped doing that. Now you show up with no idea if you'll even get a lane, let alone finish in time to get to work. They're also allowing three or more people per lane, which is just unrealistic. Once a third person joins, it stops being a workout and turns into traffic management. You can forget about flip turns entirely. The lane speed designations don't help either. Most people are on tight schedules and aren't going to wait around for the "right" lane to open up. They also block off a lane for personal training, which is understandable, but that lane could still accommodate another swimmer. Decisions like this chip away at what's supposed to be a core service. Most pools in the city allow reservations. You can reserve a lane. Some even have a no show fee which totally works. you can't trust humans to so the right thing here because they in most cases won't. Bottom line, the lack of reservations and overcrowding make it impossible to plan a consistent, efficient swim. It turns something that should be straightforward into a daily gamble.

Firstly, every one of the staff members was rude and standoffish, I think this must be the only place to work out near downtown San Francisco because it was so overcrowded..Restaurant wait was long, and good luck waiting for your check. Complete attitude of indifference. Seems that all they care about is turning beds and jacking up their membership numbers. They literally turned off my room key before I even checked out, all my luggage was upstairs still. Didn't apologize or offer to get the lubgage. Do NOT recommend
