She is absolutely amazing and takes the time to explain what we are working on and how that will make me stronger and healthier. Overall each and everyone I have come into contact with at Plasse Strength has been terrific and I look forward to getting in better shape and growing my strength!

CFQ and their types of xfit workouts are helping me discover more of the 'functional' areas of fitness, beyond just lifting heavy things, but pushing my body (and psyche!) in new ways. The coaches are great, and what keeps me going back. I kept my regular gym membership just to have that option when I'm not feeling like a class, but if one's budget allows, it's worth investing in a trial at least to test out the vibe!

I started fitness training at BODY BY BERLE when the center was still in Great Neck, before moving…read moreto its present location in Fresh Meadows. I was a working single mom in my late 30s at the time. I became a regular customer three mornings a week, and by the time I turned 40 I was in the best shape of my life -- thanks to BBB. I went there for years. I am now retired, remarried and I live in New Mexico. This morning, as I was getting ready to go to our community gym, I thought about BODY BY BERLE all those years ago. I mentioned to my husband what a great trainer Richard Berle was -- as were the other trainers I'd worked with there, and how I wished there were some place even remotely similar to that here where we live now. (There isn't). Then I googled to see if Body by Berle was still around, and I am SO happy to see that it still is! BBB's customers are very lucky! They are getting the very best fitness training there is! I never experienced a fitness program as good as that one -- anywhere. Which is what prompted me to write this review.

It's a place of peace, wellness and comfort with personal attention from the moment you walk in the door. You know you are in good hands. The longer range benefit is the knowledge that in my senior decades I am building a more resilient body to maintain my independence and enable me to continue the quality of life I have enjoyed to this point. Richard Berle and his team create the best prescription for a more fulfilled, better lived life. I would recommend this excellent practice to anyone - at any age.

They even have their own version of Pilates called Primilates (which I havne't tried). There is a mix of men and women doing the workouts and BOY do you work out! There isn't alot to the place (no fancy bells and whistles) but the trainers/instructors/owners who work there are really great and push you to work! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! They have an outdoor bootcamp/training for the Spartan race (I have no desire to do a Spartan, but as someone who has done other various obstacle 5ks/mudruns, I can appreciate a training program!). Class sizes are small so there is a lot of individual attention. The MMA class has larger groups but the trainers are always keeping an ever watchful eye pushing you to work, WORK, WORK! I hear they are looking to add other types of classes that will cater to both men, women and even children. I would highly recommend if you want to try something different and jump start your fitness routine. They'll also let you try a couple of classes for free!

Writing an updated review after returning to Crunch from a 3 year hiatus. I stopped going in 2023…read moreand then had a life-altering car accident in 2024 and has been in rehab/ PT since. Finally got the ok from my doctor to return to the gym. Crunch Fitness offers a solid, well-equipped environment for hit-the-ground-running workouts, but your experience will depend heavily on the clock. The gym sees its peak rush hours during the typical post-work window from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, as well as early mornings before 8:00 AM. During these busy times, high-demand equipment like squat racks, cables and popular selectorized strength machines require a lot of waiting or sharing. Navigating the floor requires patience or a willingness to swap out exercises on the fly. Conversely, hitting the floor between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM is more of a breeze. No wait times for treadmills, ellipticals etc. During these mid-morning hours, the crowd thins out significantly. You can seamlessly flow through your routine with ease. Some machines still have wait time. When you sign up, you receive a complimentary "Crunch Kickoff" session, which provides a helpful baseline assessment and orientation. However, be prepared for the aftermath. Once the initial kickoff concludes, the personal trainers can become a bit pushy with their sales pitches. If you prefer to train solo, you will need to set a firm boundary to keep them from encroaching on your personal workout space. One trainer came over in the middle of my workout trying to have a whole conversation. I was just trying to finish my routine and he wasn't pleased that I said I needed to finish because I needed to get back home as I was working remotely. After that things were awkward. Another trainer was heard telling his colleague not to help me correct my form with a specific equipment if I wasn't paying for personal training. That's horrible. Beyond the weight floor, the facility includes a relaxation zone equipped with a hydromassage bed. This is an excellent perk for post-workout recovery, allowing you to soothe tight muscles after a heavy lifting session. Because the recovery zone can also get busy during peak hours, visiting during off-peak times ensures you can hop right onto the bed without waiting. There is a shower which is usually clean and stocked even though I am not using it in the summer as I live close by. If you have the flexibility to avoid peak hours, it is a highly efficient facility. While a 9:00 AM-11:00 AM window is ideal for an unbothered, open-floor workout, adjusting your schedule to a 5:30 AM early morning slot ahead of the evening rush is the best strategy to keep your routine consistent and machine wait-times manageable when your schedule tightens up. Overall, I think the experience could be enhanced. When I signed up, no one toured the space or reviewed the equipment with me. That to me should be routine so it gives the impression that unless you're signing up for personal training, they don't care about the experience you're having and don't care to set you up for success.
