Crunch Fitness - 59th Street - New York (NY)

5 /5 Becky Zhang: I signed up for a free trial at Crunch 59th St and was genuinely surprised at how big this gym is, 3 floors total which is wild for a gym in the city. One of the employees was super friendly and gave me a tour when I first walked in, and right away I noticed how everything felt really new and clean since the place was recently renovated. There’s even a little spa-style room with massage chairs and massage guns you can use, which I thought was such a cool touch, though of course that’s only available for members who pay for a membership that includes it. The locker rooms are honestly one of the nicest I’ve seen at any gym, they’re huge, with plenty of bathroom and shower stalls, and I saw staff cleaning pretty regularly which I really appreciated. The machines all looked pretty new and well-maintained, and I liked how everything was divided up clearly, an area for arms machines, a section for legs, and then a big open space for stretching or yoga. I also love the new mirrors they added, it makes the gym feel way more open and spacious compared to other Crunch locations I’ve been to. One of my favorite things was a private room tucked away with bikes, perfect if you wanted a quiet space away from the rest of the gym. The staff here are really nice and you can tell they recognize and know a lot of the regulars who come in, which gives the place a more personal, welcoming vibe. Overall I feel like there’s so much to do here even with a basic membership, and I’m definitely thinking of coming back again.

2 /5 Alive Zombie: I’ve been going to the gym for 4 years. The man at the front desk today was very rude when I asked about the possibility of leaving my small carry on behind the desk. I understand if it’s company policy that you can’t, but he didn’t even look at me and said very sharply “no, everything must fit in a locker.” How are these employees not taught basic kindness to paying members. All he needed to say was - I’m sorry unfortunately it’s company policy that we can’t do that, but if it fits in a locker it’s completely fine. It’s so simple to be kind.

5 /5 Alexander Soiefer: Great gym! Large variety of equipment. Classes are of good quality and variety, but you generally must register early. I really like the cycling classes. The facilities are great. The gym, locker rooms, and restrooms are clean. There is recovery equipment, such as massage chairs and WAVE beds. Those are great to use and in good condition. I have taken personal training here. I gained a lot of strength and mobility quickly and the personal trainer was quite helpful. I also was easily able to cancel the membership.

5 /5 Rodaina Soliman: Ibrahim is a trainer who truly stands out. He’s knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about his clients. His passion for fitness is contagious — every session is not only motivating and well thought out, but also enjoyable. He pays great attention to techniques and always ready to guide you with patience and positivity. Training with him has made going to the gym much easier for me — something that has always been a challenge. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who combines professionalism, warmth, and genuine inspiration.

5 /5 Art Diana Rueda: I’m not a gym-loving person; in fact, I spent a long time working out at home. Later, I wanted to build a bit more muscle mass, so I started going to different gyms, but I never felt focused in any of them. I have to admit that this gym is really good and it’s the best in the city. It’s always very clean, and the staff—from the front desk to the trainers—are extremely friendly. The environment is very pleasant because the people who come to train here are very respectful; everyone is focused on their own workout, and people respect your space. I’m very happy to have joined this gym, and when I can’t train at this location, I go to another one of their branches and the atmosphere is almost the same.
