Crunch Ontario: What's Opening and When

Crunch Fitness has announced Crunch Ontario, a new 50,000-square-foot gym set to open in Ontario, California in early 2027. The facility will be located at 735 N. Milliken Ave B and represents a $5 million investment in the Inland Empire market. Pre-sales are also slated to launch in early 2027, with founding member incentives available to the first 500 sign-ups.

About Crunch Fitness

Crunch Fitness is a New York City-headquartered gym chain built around the philosophy of 'No Judgments' and a mission to make serious exercise fun. The brand currently serves 4 million members at more than 550 locations across 41 US states, the District of Columbia, and several international markets including Australia, Canada, and India. Crunch ranked #2 in the fitness category and #20 overall in the 2026 Entrepreneur Franchise 500, moving up from #32 the prior year, and also earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing companies.

Amenities at Crunch Ontario

Crunch Ontario will debut the Crunch 3.0 design format, which blends updated aesthetics with a more functional equipment layout. The location will offer a Group Fitness studio featuring Crunch's signature classes, a dedicated hot yoga room, Olympic lifting platforms, a Functional HIITZone™ with indoor turf, Advanced HIIT classes, TRX® training, and Power Half Hour circuit training. Recovery and wellness options include Relax & Recover® services such as HydroMassage® beds and red light therapy, tanning, and full locker rooms with showers and a sauna. Families are also covered with Kids Crunch babysitting on-site, and personal training will be available for members seeking one-on-one coaching.

Why Ontario, California

Ontario sits in San Bernardino County at the heart of the Inland Empire, one of the fastest-growing regions in Southern California by both population and economic activity. The city's expanding residential base and proximity to major logistics and commercial corridors make it an attractive target for fitness brands looking to establish a foothold in an underserved suburban market. A location on N. Milliken Ave places Crunch Ontario near established retail corridors and high-traffic residential zones, giving the gym strong visibility and access for commuters and local residents alike.

Membership Pricing and Founding Member Offers

Crunch Ontario memberships will start at $9.99 per month, in line with Crunch's accessible pricing model. The gym is offering a founding member deal for the first 500 people to lock in their rate: $1 down, one free month, a free t-shirt, and discounts on small group and personal training sessions. Prospective members can secure their rate and find additional details at CrunchOntario.com.

Fitness Ventures' Expanding Footprint

Crunch Ontario will be operated by Fitness Ventures, LLC, one of the largest Crunch Fitness franchisees in the United States. The company currently runs 122 Crunch locations across 30 states and is on pace to surpass 130 locations by the end of 2026. Ontario will mark Fitness Ventures' 27th California club, deepening its presence in a state that is increasingly central to the company's growth strategy.

What Fitness Ventures' CEO Said

Brian Hibbard, CEO of Fitness Ventures, LLC, described the Ontario opening as an opportunity to bring an upgraded Crunch experience to a community that has been waiting for it. He emphasized that Crunch is designed for everyone — from first-time gym members to experienced athletes — and that a high-energy environment combined with entry-level pricing at $9.99 per month gives the gym broad appeal across income levels and fitness backgrounds.

What It Means for Ontario Gym-Goers

Ontario residents will gain access to a large-format gym with a wide range of amenities that few single locations in the area can match — from hot yoga and Olympic lifting to recovery services and babysitting. The $9.99 starting price point keeps the gym accessible to a wide range of budgets, and the founding member deal rewards early sign-ups with meaningful savings. For anyone currently driving to a neighboring city for a full-service fitness facility, Crunch Ontario could remove that commute entirely.

How to Learn More or Visit

Crunch Ontario is expected to open in early 2027 at 735 N. Milliken Ave B in Ontario, California. Prospective members and those interested in employment opportunities can visit CrunchOntario.com for membership details, founding member sign-up, and job listings.
