I've visited several locations, and there were roaches, especially at 8th Avenue and 94th Street. Other locations also have very rude staff and unhelpful managers. Honestly, this is the worst club in the city -- truly a TRASH facility! The only location that decent clean is east 23rd street. On top of all this, I was also charged late fees even though I made my payment on time and they refused to help out with it or anything else. Seriously!

Terrible experience with Crunch 19th Street. First upfront, it's a good location and equipment too…read more But the problem is, if you're signing up, be ready to sign your soul away. I have not been able to use Crunch for about 2 months because of a serious medical issue. I provided medical documentation from my doctor's office confirming the condition and asked for a medical freeze. Crunch gave me a one-month "courtesy" freeze (a.k.a ended up being the month that I paid in advanced in signup, laughable it's called courtesy), but refused to extend it unless I go back to my doctors and get a separate custom doctor's note on letterhead specifically for Crunch, stating the recommended duration away from gym activity. This is a monthly gym membership. Not a disability benefits filing. Not a government agency. Not a court proceeding. A gym membership. The way this policy comes across is almost comical: even if you were dealing with terminal illness, better make sure you ask your doctor for the special Crunch gym paperwork on letterhead before you die, because apparently normal medical documentation is not enough!!!!!!! No common-sense exception. No discretion. No recognition that someone with a serious medical issue may not want to waste doctors' time generating custom paperwork for a gym freeze. To be fair, the local staff responded quickly and politely. But the policy is ridiculous and this experience was outrageous enough that it motivated writing a negative review.. You would expect less b.s. than this paying $120 a month "Signature" tier. Maybe it's not the local branch's fault, but change the disgusting "corporate policy" please.

Got to try this spot out through ClassPass. Liftonic offers a great workout in perhaps a slightly…read moreunder appreciated or under served workout mode these days, as it is heavily weight-based. I enjoyed the intense workout and truly appreciated the encouraging vibe and great workout tips from the instructor, Scott. The workout spot is ample but could be better organized--the exercises require benches and floor space and occasionally I didn't know where to go or feel like I had sufficient floor room between benches. Room is downstairs and ran a bit hot, and changing space is limited. Still and all, the workout was great and I'd definitely go back for more. Instructor was fantastic--encouraging and helpful.

I attended a bicep, chest, abs class. We did a good balance of exercises for those muscles. We were…read moretold to get 4 different sets of weights to use for different exercises. The instructor made good use of the music, as it was very dynamic. We exercised to the beat and also to his counts. It was a large class of about 20 people, so you won't be getting much individual attention on form. The instructor wears a mic but sometimes the music is so loud you still can't hear some of what he says. But there are plenty of TVs mounted on the ceiling, so even if you're in the back you can usually see what new exercise the instructor is showing. It's a very clean studio. After class, everyone was using the wet wipes to wipe their benches, mats, etc. There are 2 small changing rooms and a large bathroom. They provide bathroom products such as dry shampoo, wet wipes, hair ties, and a hairdryer. There's also clothes racks to hang your coats and an open locker cubicle to put your bags.

This equipment is used by members with bare feet and should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. Seeing piles of visibly dirty fins sitting out like this is unacceptable for a premium gym. Between the moldy equipment, ongoing cleanliness issues, and poor maintenance, this location is seriously falling short of expectations. Do better.

I didn't have much hope that this would be a "real workout" after reading about EMS training online…read moreI thought it was too good to be true. I was sore for 2 days straight after this!! When you walk in, you are given some long shorts and a shirt in your size to change into in one of the three dressing rooms. You can then leave your belongings in one of the lockers and start your workout. Your instructor will wet a suit and then help you put it on and get all hooked up to the machine. This suit is a $5 one time rental or you can rent more permanently I believe. Afterwards, you will workout for 15-20 minutes doing some movements guided by your instructor, who also adjusts the intensity of the pulses the machine emits. They let me know this equals about 4 hours in the gym. The workout does get quite intense as most people are not familiar with the machine's pulsing sensations, but tensing your muscles does help! Afterwards, they encourage you to rest, stretch and drink water. There are showers available here as well. As I only went for the trial session and am not too familiar with this kind of fitness, I can't speak on the total efficacy of consistent sessions, but I will say the soreness I felt was real, and I imagine that this would probably be beneficial to some looking to diversify their training, especially those that might not have a full hour to devote to a workout that day. They're on ClassPass as well and super easy to book!

The workouts are perfect for those with busy schedules due to their effectiveness, and only one session a week is needed however for ladies who are on their cycle, please skip it till you're done. I'm a huge fitness junkie and had an opportunity to come for a free trial and I truly enjoyed it and recommend it. The workouts are 25 minutes including time set aside for massage to calm down the muscles. For the trial session, we only get 15 minutes however still very effective. 25 minutes workout is equivalent to 4 hours. My muscles were sore the following day and the days after. They also have a Fit3D machine that measures your body composition, nutritional content, shape, body fat, etc, which is only available for members. This place also has a shower and all members get their own set of top and bottom to be used with the bodysuit. My trainer Jai was very professional and the instruction was super clear.

I had no more sat down than some young sassy goody-goody-two-shoes know-it-all swooped down on me like a vulcher and said I had to leave b/c I wasn't a member. He promptly escorted me out the door as if I was some vagrant. I had no idea this was a gym. From the sidewalk, one could see that there was a cafe right inside the front door, and lounge chairs. I thought it was some sort of coffee shop. Later, I learned that the place was called LifeTime. I had never heard of it before. Once I got home, I looked it up and saw all the negative reviews -- specifically about the rude employees. Bingo! That explains it! How unfortunate for the members that they have to tolerate this behavior from the employees.

The West Village branch feels like a club but is totally decked out with great equipment and free weights with LOTS of space. It's like other gyms in that if you go in the afternoon (12-3), there might be 5 people in the whole place! Which I LOVE! The staff is very professional and doesn't put up with a lot of sitting on equipment scrolling on your phone. They also have really good trainers who really are interested in their clients. I they don't have a steam room or sauna at the West Village location but I rarely use them in other gyms anyway. But I do understand that a lot of people wouldn't go to a gym without them.
