had a friend who used to work here, and the environment sounded extremely toxic. Employees were reportedly threatened with termination if they didn't hit certain numbers. On top of that, the manager, Vanessa, allegedly made body-shaming comments and said they should "only hire hot people." That kind of behavior is unprofessional, harmful, and completely unacceptable in any workplace. No one should be judged or treated differently based on how they look. If this is the culture this business allows, people should seriously think twice before supporting it. On top of that, they charge a $95 cancellation fee, and multiple interactions with staff came off as rude and dismissive. Very disappointing experience overall. read more

This gym is clean and well organized. Everything is easy to find and the equipment is well maintained. They're constantly updating the machines and changing the layout of the gym to keep things fresh for members. The staff are nice and friendly. They are always greeting members at the door and keeping the gym clean and tidy. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and friendly. People are always happy to have you work in with them on machines on a busy day and the community feels almost like that of a village. This is my main gym and I truly enjoy my experience especially for the price. read more

Facilities: clean, maintained Equipment: key equipment broken, some for more than a month or two (lying leg curl, for example). Shortage of free weights results in the following issue: On two different occasions, two different men walked up to the bench I'm working at, and removes weights that I had specifically gathered just minutes before. Today, what appeared to be a roided-out meat head grabbed a couple free weights - staring at him from 2 feet away on the other side of the bench (WTF?) - that I was going to use for warm-up. "Hey, dude, I just gathered them." His roided(?) girlfriend started in on me. Gyms need to know people like that are a liability. Looking for another gym where I feel a little safer. Mind you I'm no slouch at 58 (https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/timothyhuffner), but I won't be able to go here anymore because of the 'roid(?) couple. read more

The gym has made some great improvements by adding more machines and benches, making workouts more convenient and enjoyable. However, the Stair-Climbers remain a major issue, with around 7 out of 10 frequently out of order. It's frustrating for those who rely on them, but overall, the gym is still a decent option for a workout. Hopefully, they address the equipment maintenance soon to match the progress they've made elsewhere. read more

I like this gym, I work out around 2 PM a few times a week and it's never too busy. Plenty of free weights and machines

Great facility for the price. I have been a member of crunch for about 3 years and love the gym. The staff is helpful and informed most of the time. Though, sometimes the high turnover leads to some new staff members not being knowledgeable when question arise. I have dealt with that a few times. I believe you get a good bang for your buck with the premium membership. I enjoy doing classes such as spin or Zumba but if you don't then the basic membership would suffice. The equipment is up to date and you have everything you need for a good workout. My only complaint is how busy it gets at peak times which I'm not sure the solution to. Just be prepared to be patient if you want to workout from 5-7 on weekdays. read more

Trying to cancel with these scammers is a nightmare. Call, email, mail a letter and still nothing. Not to mention they double charge and then ignore you for weeks. read more

This is my gym! Love this place! Very friendly staff and good amount of workout equipment

Clean the locker rooms, it's nasty asf. I've been cooking for 2 weeks straight and it's been the same crap all over the floor and someone shaved something sitting on the bench. If it wasn't freezing outside I would come dressed for the gym and avoid the locker room at all costs read more

Buyer Beware..Do not join if you ever want to cancel your membership!! They make impossible to cancel and I have spent the last 4 months trying. They are a joke....you will thank me. read more

Beware, do not join crunch fitness. It is impossible to cancel. They refuse to allow any normal cancellation policy.

This is a really nice gym. I love that the cardio equipment is in the second floor and the weight equipments is on the first floor. I also like that even though it's always busy there is always equipment available so you don't have to wait for someone else to finish. The locker rooms are super clean and spacious so you're not on top of others. I also like that they provide medicines balls, jump ropes, yoga balls, and other equipment you would need for a full workout. I'm not the biggest fan of the parking lot. It's small and always crowded so you have to walk a bit to get there. read more

Incredibly crowded during peak hours. Which would be fine but they simply do not have enough equipment. For $10 a month, sure it's probably your best option. A line at every single machine if you show up between 4-7pm. No hack squat, 1 good leg press. My workout is contingent on what is actually open, meaning I could spend as little as 50 minutes or as much as 1:30 in the gym. Half of their free lockers are jammed or don't work. They do have an abundance of cardio machines and treadmills. Good environment but extremely inefficient. Only recommend if you go during non-peak hours. read more

Oakley Crunch location opened less than a year ago (Oakley has truly turned into the gym metropolis with La Fitness, Orange Theory, Crunch, Planet Fitness, Pure Barre, Body Alive, Define, a few Crossfit places and now a new Bungee Fitness) I miss the old Revolution Fitness, which I went to for ten years, but Crunch is directly across the street from their former location. I'm enjoying the classes at the gym. Mat pilates with Megan, Hiit training - enjoy Solomon's classes on Tuesday & Thursday, Abs on Wednesday. I enjoy using the ellipticals on the second floor, but they definitely need more A/C or fans upstairs so hot and this current summer isn't making it any better. Haven't checked out the free weights section as its always packed with people. I noticed they're having a variety of charity spinning classes on Saturdays, good to help support local non-profits. As other reviews have stated its dirty in places. The bathrooms, around the water cooler, which has warm water most of the time and the floor in the changing area are dirty. Also on the Hiit training floor is that training area surface ever cleaned? It gets lots of use, lots of people taking Hiit classes. I heard Hydromassage is included with my membership, but haven't checked out yet looks interesting. Crunch Fitness is convenient to where I live and affordable $32 a month including tax isn't bad to take 3-4 classes a week and use the gym. read more

Love this place! I travel a lot and it's hard to find good gyms on the road, especially ones like this that are also cheap to work out at. All the machines are state of the art, they have a lot of Hoist machines. Lots of everything, I strongly recommend. read more

Great location and amazing people! Equipment so good, it makes you forget we're in an economic crisis!

The best staff ever!! Friendly, helpful, and fun. The atmosphere is awesome- encouraging and challenging. Everything is clean and they have a variety of equipment. I have so much fun working out here! read more

The facility is well maintained and the staff is nice every time I'm in there. The layout is great and spacious for workouts at every location I've been to. Due to some injuries I haven't been able to go since mid-pandemic and I was told that when it was over, hours would go back to normal (24 hours). I was glad they were making some changes for the pandemic but closing at their LEAST busy times didn't make much sense but I explained it away to myself because maybe less people going out meant they had less to spend on utilities and staffing- that's fine. Now that I am healthy and trying to build strength back in my joints I started coming back. I wanted to take care of myself again. And i figured I'd go after work. I'm off between 7pm and 11pm and because we are now POST pandemic, I thought this would be great. The gyms hours have not returned to 24 hours at all. Not only that, they aren't even open until midnight. If you want to charge the same amount for 60% of the hours of operation then you really aren't keeping your guests needs in mind. If I was only paying 15 or 10 a month instead then I wouldn't mind. You Changed the content I'm paying for, so change the price. If a restaurant changed their menu so you got half the amount of food and kept prices the same people would lose their minds. I'm nice to all the workers. This isn't their fault. In fact, they were also upset about the change when I asked about it because they said a lot of people like them either can only work out at night or prefer it. If the business model and the contract I signed up for changed- without reason of epidemic- then 40% of what I'm paying is useless. Either the hours should go back to normal or you shouldn't be charging this much for your memberships anymore. I don't mind paying twice as much a month for a cleaner, nicer facility that has the same hours but the hours are what makes crunch an inclusive gym. I'm not happy. And I drove here for no reason and paid for this membership under different agreements than what is happening. read more

Love this gym! They have really great employees and great diversity amongst staff. One of the associates Benji has been very helpful and always has great energy when I enter the gym. His passion for his job definitely makes this gym feel more like a home read more

IMPOSSIBLE TO QUIT! A year ago, I moved and wanted to switch my membership from Newport to Oakley. I showed up to Oakley and was told I'd need to switch in-person at Newport. I went to Newport, switched my membership, and have been going to Oakley for the past year. After moving again, I wanted to cancel my membership altogether. I called this morning and was told I'd need to go to Oakley in-person. I show up to Oakley and am told that even though they can see the transfer paperwork from last year, Crunch fitness never finalized my gym transfer, and I will now have to drive to Newport to cancel my membership. I have been going to Oakley for a year now and only pay for access to one location, so I'm failing to see how none of the employees would have mentioned this before now when checking me in. Convenient that this only comes up a year later when I try to cancel my membership. read more

I have sent emails regarding the addition of chairs to the tanning rooms, the massage chair rooms, and the red light therapy rooms. The manager informed me that chairs were to be added. Six months later and still no chairs. The tanning beds generally have the condensation tanks full. The email listed is manager@crunchoakley.com but there has not been any response regarding the tanning bed issue. Perhaps this is the wrong email address. Regardless, chairs are really needed in all of the tanning bed rooms, hydro massage rooms, and red light therapy rooms. Kenwood and other locations have chairs yet, the Oakley location does not forcing users to sit on the actual equipment while preparing to get ready to use the equipment. Hooks are needed in the hydro massage rooms, too, to hang coats, etc., instead of having to place them on the floor. read more

Crunch Fitness - Email to manager - Gyms Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Not only have they refused to lengthen their hours back out since lock downs over 2 years ago. Now, they're locking the doors before 8:30 when the 9 pm close is ridiculously early already. Convenience of location is not weighing high enough to stick around anymore. read more

My first experience was horrible! I just left there.... I wanted to get my tan on and I get into bed #7 I'm like this doesn't feel right but I'm tanning and it hits me that this bed is dirty I took pictures of the bed once I looked down and seen old sweat dried on the bed and hair. read more

Very clean facility with plenty of areas around the gym. Cycling room upstairs is spacious

We love this fitness center. It is well stocked with machines, clean and has a great selection of classes for all. Feels welcoming whether you are starting the fitness journey and a seasoned fitness enthusiast. The personal trainers are super helpful. Kyle, Yu and Jared have been helping us to reach our fitness goals. He spent time to understand what we want to achieve and designed a plan around it. Thanks Kyle, Yu, Jared and Oakley Crunch. read more

Love that they put a Crunch gym in Oakley- I live here and I had to drive all the way to the Kenwood location. Which was super inconvenient. The staff here are super nice and helpful. They are very good about making sure you have a mask on when you walk in. They should though do a better job of enforcing it in my opinion. I do love how its a clean gym and they have sanitize stations pretty much everywhere. If you can, go there in the EARLY morning. So much better to get a great workout in. Evening time there is wild and way too many ppl read more

Facility is very clean and spacious with a great variety of the equipment. Staff is friendly and professional

Be careful when joining- there are better alternatives nearby. This is a franchised location that goes to unnecessary lengths and fine print to make canceling as difficult as possible for customers. Oakley Planet Fitness is a better alternative if you're looking for a gym in the area. read more

I love this gym and how clean it is kept, however the mask policy here is not very strictly enforced. There are multiple signs saying that masks are required except for when doing "vigorous activity" such as running or HIIT exercises, yet I see tons of members walking around the gym not wearing masks. This location has also gotten increasingly more crowded in the past few weeks, and it feels pretty unsafe to me to be here. The employees are all super friendly and always wear masks. I almost always see an employee cleaning the facility as well. I would love to give this place a higher rating but with COVID-19 being such a huge issue today I definitely think more could be done to enforce this policy. read more

this place has good staff, and it's a good facility my trainer Ken is awesome and he has good flexibility! .

Workers are nice ! Machines are great! Classes are great ! Clean and they always have cleaning supplies available!

Crunch is a great gym. It's very affordable, the equipment is in great shape and there is lots of it! Oakley is like the mecca for gyms. Crunch stands out because they have diverse classes to choose from, a massive amount of cardio, and their high intensity workout zone. I love the medicine balls, the sleigh, and monkey bars. Their competitors don't have anything close to the zone. They even have a rope climbing machine! read more

Great new gym with tons of brand new equipment. I typically run at the gym and was pleasantly surprised to see about 40 treadmills in the upper Cardio section. I have yet to find a gym that is consistently as clean as ours back home but not terrible; a little surprising though considering how new it is. Love the fact that it's open 24/7! read more

75% of the equipment here is broken, damaged, or just unusable. PLEASE GET NEW BIKES!!

This place has fallen apart under the new manager. The restrooms are disgusting, people utilize machines that are closed, they don't wipe the machines down and have even seen members vaping inside the gym. Time to find a new gym. read more

Might be the most consistently crowded gym I've ever been. Not necessarily overcapacity but in the 1-2 months I've gone, I have rarely been able use a squat rack or cable machine. This is common for gyms during the on-hours (4-6pm) but I've seen it at 10 o'clock at night and during hours most gyms are relatively empty like mid-afternoon on weekdays. It's no one's fault of course, but I would not recommend joining this gym unless you're ready for that. read more

Crunch Fitness Oakley started out great. However, on 08/24/2020 I took a shower being fully unaware the showers were closed. I was confronted by three male staff members as I was showering one of which was a manager. I advised the male staff members I was not aware and I would discuss it at the front desk once I finished showering. Mind you I was naked with soap all over my being and these guys appeared to be amused by their actions. I immediately demanded they leave and respect my privacy. The black male manager threatened to revoke my membership and told me he was not looking at me and it was okay to confront a member while they were showering. After I showered I confronted the manager and told him I thought it was weird for three male staffers to confront a member about showering. I then asked if he was revoking my membership and he stated yes because I showered. This is the most outrageous and creepy encounter I have ever had in my life. I wouldn't advise anyone to get a membership. An issue such as this could be resolved with a conversation at the desk and not confronting a member who is naked, showering and unaware the showers were closed. #TEAMPLANETFITNESS read more

I normally have been happy with the facilities at Crunch. However, they are completely non-compliant with the State Mask Policy. I went two days ago and a younger man walked in before me with no mask and they let him in with no mask request. I then said to the other young man working at the front desk "Can you please have him wear a mask?" He replied, "Sorry ma'am, this is all still a learning process." Really, a learning process?! Have we learned nothing over the last 7 months how deadly this virus is? Not to mention, people walking throughout the gym and in the restrooms are not wearing masks. I decided to actually give it a try again today, and yet another mask-less young male walked right in. This time I turned away and didn't even walk in. I'm disgusted that I am protecting people with my behavior, but others here are not doing the same. This place is being run by a bunch of reckless 20 somethings, that don't care about the health and well-being of their members. I don't plan to return anytime soon. read more

For an overall review of my thoughts on Crunch in general, please refer to my Crunch Fitness-Kenwood review. Everything said in that review applies to this one too. There are a couple aspects of Crunch-Oakley that standout. First and foremost, of the four Crunch establishments I've been to, the Oakley location has to be most spacious and offers the most variety in terms of the type of workout or muscle group you're looking to work on. It's composed of two floors: the first floor being the weights, machines, exercise turf, monkey bars, punching bags, etc. covering most if not all your exercise needs. Also on the first floor is their group fitness area which is a standard at all Crunch locations. Moving onto the second floor is for all you endurance and cardio junkies out there. Treadmill upon treadmill, stairmasters, cardio stuff I don't even know the names of, and a cycling room are what you can expect. Throw in some core machines and that covers the extent of the second floor. I'm not sure what the hate is for this Crunch locale, but if I had to point out my strife with it is the massive amount of people that can be in the building at one time some days. Whether it's a class going on, work/classes getting out, or just because like I said this is a pretty spacious Crunch, there can be so many people some days it's almost impossible to workout since it's so packed and everything is occupied. Other than that, this is an ideal Crunch for most occasional or regular gym-goers! read more

My son is career Navy, and he is on leave after being deployed five months in the middle east. During is ten day visit with us, he wanted a fitness facility to use, and Crunch Fitness is a perfect fit for home. After learning he is military, the representative provided him with a ten day free pass. Thank you Crunch Fitness for supporting the military so generously! I'm truly impressed! read more
