The workouts are 50 minutes to 1 hour workouts in a circuit training, High Intensity Interval…read moreTraining (HIIT) and sometimes Jonathan cranks up the intensity to Super High Intensity Interval Training (SHIIT) format. The programming is varied. Monday: Upper Body, Tuesday; Total Body, Wednesday; lower body, Thursday; Total body, Friday; Cardio and abs, Saturday; Total body and Sunday; Lower body. The exercises are varied, so if you hated one workout, the next one will be different. The instructors demonstrate the exercises after the warmup. The exercises are rotated so the other regulars know the exercises and you can follow along. If you are new the instructors will take the time to work you through it one on one. If you are new to exercising at this intensity you can dial it off by using lower weights, taking longer breaks, or in my case I tapped out after two rounds versus three. There is no pressure except yourself to perform. The gym is open air. I have only worked out here in the winter, but find my self gravitating to the doors for fresh air. There is ample supply of equipment for all strength levels. I have noticed some couples coming in and one partner doing their own workout on the weights. I have had a stroke and have balance and cognitive deficits. I know the modifications to the exercises that I need and there is equipment available for adaption. The instructors are patient with me in asking questions of something I'm sure they already said. They have a ten percent discount for military, veterans, and law enforcement. I live nearby and walk in the field next to Empire. They have underutilized lighted soccer fields that are perfect for a team practice at night. The teams are out there at night with music blasting and balls blazing. They have recently started a boxing program on Tuesdays and Thursdays that seems intriguing. They have different heavy bags available. I avoided this gym the last year due to Covid. Both me and my wife were fully vaccinated in March, so I was willing to give it a go. NO ONE wears a mask! They do a good job of sanitizing before, during, and after workouts, with all people participating in keeping it clean. They have the workout spaces divided into six foot blocks and have modified the workouts to maintain social distancing. The bottom line is that I would not recommend an unvaccinated person or one who has not had COVID work out here, especially when Jonathan breaks out one of his SHIIT workouts that will get everyone breathing super hard. The music is a negative for me. It is super loud (as in a club) and is either Regaton or Urban music. A diversity of Dance, House, Disco, Electronica, Salsa, Merengue, and Rock would be appreciated to match the diversity of clients. Maybe rotate a different style each day and ensure that styles vary between weeks. I will do a review again post-covid and if DJ issue is resolved, they should be at five stars.

STAY AWAY FROM CRUNCH FITNESS-HOMESTEAD. THEY ARE THIEVES AND FRAUDS…read more Back in January, I requested to decrease my personal training sessions from three times a week to twice a week. Instead of updating my billing correctly, they began charging me for the new biweekly plan while CONTINUING to charge me for the original triweekly plan. By the time I noticed, they had overcharged me by $540.00. I spoke directly to William, the manager, who showed zero accountability. He never apologized for the incompetence of his staff or the massive inconvenience this caused me. He simply assured me that my refund would be processed and that it would take 3 to 5 business days. That was in February. It has now been 6 months, and I am still fighting to get my money back. To make matters worse, they revoked the extra training sessions I actually paid for--meaning they took my money AND stripped away the service. When I went in person in May, William conveniently had an email from corporate waiting on his screen asking for a copy of my driver's license to mail the check. I provided it on the spot, which he claimed to submit. That was 12 weeks ago. I guess "the check is still in the mail." I finally gave up and stopped going altogether. Working at a busy local hospital, whenever newcomers moving to Homestead ask me about this gym, I explicitly warn them to drive a little further north or west to save themselves the headache. Beyond the fraudulent billing and horrific management, the facility itself is terrible: Overcrowded & Chaotic: It looks more like a high school hallway, with large groups of teenagers standing around, hanging out, and monopolizing equipment. Disgusting Facilities: The ladies' restroom is ALWAYS dirty. Crunch loves to post their preprogrammed responses about striving to keep the gym "#CrunchClean," but i hope what I've been seeing isn't their standard, because the place is actually #FreakingFilthy. They will aggressively harass you to sign up for personal training, overcharge your card, take away the sessions you paid for, and drag out a refund for over half a year. Save yourself the money and hassle--take your business anywhere else.

Dirty! Filthy! The place is gross. Overnight cleaning crew must come when they are available. 5/7…read moredays the bathrooms are nasty. The gym floor is nasty! Majority of the time there are no Purell wipes available to wipe machines down. Wait time for machines are long. You feel like ur stalking people waiting behind them. People bring 2/3 workout buddies and hog machines. You can see from upstairs looking down that people are literally just hanging out like we were in a school yard. Weights aren't re racked and I have seen numerous people trip over people not cleaning up after themselves. Machines break regularly bc people treat the place like a jail house. I visited Homestead for 4 weeks and in this last week I been working out at home. The third week I got sick with a virus and it just so happens the end of the 2nd week and the entire 3rd week there were no wipes available... place was even more packed than the first 2! The music is so loud and obnoxious and usually in Spanish that u can't hear ur own music on ur beats! So glad my time in Homestead is coming to an end can't wait to be back in nyc where it's nice and clean and people respect each others space. News flash

The bathrooms are clean and there are organizational racks for gear bags and shoes. The instruction is very good and is on a tight schedule, i.e. for kids 5:30 to 5:35 warmup, technique introduction and practice 5:35 to 5:50, practice on technique controlled rolling until 6:10, cooldown and bow out with class ending exactly at 6:15. The kids get to hang around and play on mat 15 minutes before and after class. I think this actually motivates the kids to come to class. The professor is liberal in a case by case basis for kids that have enough strength, technique, to go to the 10 to 18 year old class. They can either do both classes or some parents who have older children will have thier younger kids go to the junior class if they can hang. Attendance varies wildly. I have seen 24 kids in children's class to only four on Fridays, which tend to be small classes. They are very flexible for people who have to withdraw for moving, or even temporarily for an injury. The only two negatives that I have noted is on having two instructors when the classes were larger than twenty in the kid's class. The second negative is that there is limited seating for parents which could be easily resolved with some folding chairs.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant I take pride in healing people and in helping them return to their lives and jobs after injuries, but rarely do I get the opportunity of having someone work on me. After hours of conversation I was sure that Tony knew what he was talking about, and O got a great "vibe" from him. I decided to try a group session and was amazed! Tony leads the class in a way that is so easy to follow with options for all levels; he pays particular attention to posture and is able to guide you to an optimal position without being forceful. Nothing like other yoga places I had tried. After the experience in the group setting I wanted to try the Bodywork session, and oh boy was it worth it! Tony was able to address lacks or range that even I, as a trained clinician had missed in my relentless stretching sessions, my lumbar pain caused by a day lifting patients was gone, and I felt as if I had been handed a new body. It was truly the most relaxing experience I have ever had, and I wish I could put into words what the session felt like. It was truly amazing! I have recommended this place to my family and even to my "graduating" patients who seek to maintain the gains made in the clinic and further their connection with their bodies. Thank you Tony for giving Homestead access to such amazing classes, in such a cozy environment!
