Crunch Fitness runs clubs across most of the U.S. I went through their clubs, amenities, and prices so you know what you're getting.
Crunch clubs cover the basics: cardio, free weights, and machines. Most of their clubs also have:
You'll find these at some clubs:
Crunch doesn't offer hot tubs, racquetball, tennis, or squash.
Doug Levine founded Crunch in 1989 in a basement aerobics studio in New York City (Club Solutions, Crunch). Crunch is headquartered in New York City. Chequan Lewis became CEO in June 2026, and Jim Rowley is executive chairman (Crunch).
Some Crunch clubs are open 24/7, but most run set hours. Hours vary by club, so check yours before you go.

Crunch gets the basics right and adds a few extras.
Group HIIT and Power Half Hour at most clubs.
Group fitness classes run at most clubs, so you don't have to plan every workout yourself.
Personal training is available at nearly every club if you want a coach.
Crunch does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.
Pools are rare. Only a handful of clubs have one, so check before you join if you swim.
Childcare is at fewer than half the clubs. If you need it, confirm your club has it before you join.
Most clubs aren't open 24/7, so check your club's hours if you train late.
Crunch prices vary by club. In October 2026 I found:
Cardio, strength machines and free weights!
Warm up in the hot heat before your workout.

Unwind in the super heated water in their hot tubs.

Crunch fits members who want low dues and a solid gym floor and like group classes.
How much is a Crunch membership?
Is Crunch open 24 hours?
Does Crunch have a pool?
Does Crunch have childcare?
Does Crunch have a sauna?
Does Crunch have a cold plunge?
Yes, if you want low monthly dues and a sauna. More than half the clubs have a sauna. Base starts at $9.99 a month on an annual commitment.
It fits you best if you want low dues and a solid gym floor and like group classes. If you swim or count on childcare, Crunch is a weaker pick, because only a handful of clubs have a pool and fewer than half the clubs offer childcare. Google reviews average 4.1 stars across the chain, so read your club's reviews and take a tour first.
My take: Crunch is worth a tour if you want low monthly dues.
