I left crunch over an altercation with a man. I was disrespected and made to shake the guys hand. The only good experience was meeting Katia the trainer. Always friendly and respectful! Willing to give and take advice. 🤩

Best gym in the Hudson Valley. The employee known as Dominick constantly goes above and beyond always helping out and being very polite and kind whenever I enter this establishment. He should be given a promotion and a raise

I canceled my membership with Crunch Fitness, but they kept charging me $17.99 every month for 14 months without me realizing it. I just found out by looking through my bank statements. This is completely unacceptable and feels like a scam.

If you try to cancel your membership, be careful — they’ll still keep charging you. Make sure to double-check your statements because this gym clearly doesn’t stop billing even after you cancel.

This gym allows members to record content of other members that are unaware, for their own social media content. It is unacceptable to use this gym as your personal recording studio.

I’ve been a loyal Crunch member for over 3 years, but I’m extremely disappointed in the decline of this location. For more than 3 weeks, there has been no hot water, which makes it nearly impossible for members like me who rely on the facilities to get ready for work. The lack of urgency in fixing such a basic necessity is unacceptable.

In addition, several gym machines are regularly out of service for long stretches of time without being repaired. When I first joined, I chose Crunch because of the amenities and convenience, but over the past year the overall quality and reliability have gone downhill. Long-time members deserve better, and I hope management takes steps to restore the experience we signed up for.

This place wasn’t just a gym to me , it was more of a home. Constantly surrounded by energetic and kind people/employees. My manager Rafael Del Toro is a great leader and showed me what it takes to not only lead people but to lead by example. I can’t express enough how great full I am for this supportive group.

This gym has progressively gotten worse and worse overtime. Now there is five different machines that are broken at once!!!!!!!!
How do you run a gym and not maintain your equipment and allow yourself to have five broken machines at one time
But meanwhile, they have people in here running cable for the televisions, but they can’t pay somebody to fix the machines!!!

Disgraceful management to say the least

There is a good amount of choice in the area in regards to choosing a gym. I decided to look into any potential discounts for military members. I had to choose between golds and here and its safe to say I’ve made the right choice and it’s all thanks to the help I’ve recieved from matt. Signing up was a breeze and with his guidance I was able to ensure I was getting the best deal out of what was available to me in the area.

I recently quit Crunch Fitness for the following reasons. The front desk is unfriendly, always texting or on their phones, always involved with gossip, & glare at people. Last year the equipment was frequently broken. There is a terrible leak that every time it rains, the water comes down on you right where the stairmaster is, it also leaks by the hydro machine room. Not enough equipment available such as boxes. They raised the monthly fee without telling their members. We were led to believe that we were grandfathered in. The paper towels & spray aren't always filled. I was sent several surveys expressing my unhappiness but never received a call to discuss it.

I wish I started working out ten years earlier! I've been going to this gym for 3 months now and the difference I'm seeing in such a short time frame is wild. I took a chance, bought a 30-minute personal training package with Jaelin, and I liked it enough to upgrade to 1-hour package of 10 sessions. Jae has been a fabulous trainer, always keeping me motivated to push my limits and do better. Jae has even gone as far as finding a user-friendly training app to help his clients track their progress. It's been extremely helpful for the days when I work out independently. Jae sets my regimens for the day, and I just follow the itinerary. He always makes sure to throw me a few curveballs to keep it interesting. His efforts have made going to the gym an enjoyable experience. I don't regret getting onboard with Crunch Fitness one bit!

I have belonged to Crunch for five years now and found the facility and all the staff to be attentive, friendly and first-rate. Under the direction of my personal trainer, Katia Porretta, I have lost a bunch of weight and gained lots of muscle. At 70, I feel as good as I ever have in my adult life. Highly recommend Katia if you want to get in shape and feel better in all ways. She’s patient, persistent and a pleasure to work with.

Katia is an exceptional trainer! Her expertise, patience, and motivating personality make her truly outstanding. She takes the time to understand your goals and tailors her approach to help you achieve them. Her sessions are always challenging yet enjoyable, and she provides valuable feedback to ensure you're getting the most out of your workouts.
I've seen significant improvements since training with Katia, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled trainer. Five stars isn't enough - she deserves ten! 💪

Katia gave me a free-trial, after leaving my personal training lessons behind, over two years ago. I appreciated her giving me the opportunity to get back into the game again. Working out in the gym independently, doesn’t give me the same satisfaction or structure as working with a trainer. Thank you Katia for a fun and productive workout!

It’s not often I leave a Google Review, but I must admit. 3 years leaning into 4 years moving up to the Middletown Area, I struggled to maintain going to the gym. This year I decided to come back with a vengeance. I already had the membership to Crunch but always felt like I needed more help with understanding what to do. I signed up for the Personal Training at Crunch and originally thought I was going to get Rafael, the owner, however, he recommended me training with Jaelin Mott. After training with him for over a month now. I am 1000% certain that he was the best fit for me. He has 100% listened to me and has seen where I’ve positioned myself wrong in my movements. He looks out for when he knows I can’t perform certain movements and pivots to workouts that still hit what I need. He is absolutely great at listening and we have so much fun with our banter. I can’t thank Crunch Fitness, Rafael for his Customer Service, and Jaelin for being such great help and support throughout my journey. I also want to thank the team in General. Absolute treasures and love working with all of them. Please take a moment to check out Crunch and their amazing team and programs. They will work with you, and give you what’s best for you! You won’t regret it. Thank you all for reading till this point (:

I have been a customer since 2022. About a year ago I went into the gym and asked a member upfront to downgrade my premium account to the base cheaper membership. The team member said okay and did some things on his computer and told me I was good to go.
Today I came into the facility to cancel my membership. While doing this I asked “Chris” upfront why my base membership was still 31.99? Chris followed by pulling up my account profile on his front desk computer and he confirmed to me that my membership on his side said “Base” as well and that it didn’t seem correct that they were still charging me 31.99 he then mentioned that he would bring it up to his manager later and that I could get refunded since my account stated “base” while being charged peak prices.
I later get a call from the manager Raphael. He contradicted everything Chris had just told me earlier today 02/25/25. Raphael told me my account was still premium on his side.. When I asked him why Chris told me my account was Base during my visit today and why my Crunch app memberships states “BASE” Raphael did not have an answer. He continued to repeat that my 2022 documents were from a premium account which I already knew because as I previously stated that is what my membership was BEFORE the downgrade. He stated to me because there was no documentation of my account downgrade he could not issue me a refund. So, if this is the case I asked Raphael why was it when I asked his employee months ago to downgrade my account that they told me I “was all good to go” they did NOT have me sign any paperwork to confirm this.
So because the employee clearly did not know the policy or proper protocol when downgrading accounts I do not get a refund for overpaying when I was mislead to think I was paying for the base membership as again stated on my app.
Raphael was kind and offered me 3 months free to come back but I would not recommend this place to anyone moving forward. I only hope that they don’t continue to mislead members in this way and have all their team members get on the page. As if I was provided with the proper documents to downgrade my account when I asked a year ago I would have been more than happy to do so.

Mirrors are not cleaned in the gym looks like there is spit all over them..Very dissapointed with this Crunch Fitness.
Althought all these bad things, the staff in the gym are amazing, specially Jon.

This business makes its money from stealing from little people like me. 4 transactions that were NOT supposed to be made on a cancelled membership. How? Numerous calls made and I continue to be lied to about refunds to my account. On top of everything $40 in over draft fees from my credit union. It’s easier and more economical to buy all your gym equipment and workout at home. I honored the contract and they’re still robbing me. NEVER EVER EVER EVER again! I’m sure they will delete this because they don’t want buyers to know the truth!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Jae, he’s one of the personal trainers at Crunch Fitness, and I couldn't be more impressed.

Jae's enthusiasm and encouragement have pushed me to reach new limits and goals that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I don’t have a set schedule because of my job but Jae’s always flexible and willing to accommodate to my availability.

What sets him apart is his ability to create a supportive and non-intimidating environment. He offers constructive feedback without making me feel self-conscious or discouraged. Since training with him I’ve noticed significant improvements in my strength and overall fitness . I highly recommend him and the staff at Crunch Fitness that share this welcoming and positive attitude. Thank you for all you do.

I've been going to Crunch Middletown just about 2 months and have been training with Jae once per week since. He's polite and easy to work with, soft spoken, understanding and most importantly he pushes you to reach your potential. I enjoy our conversations during workout because it keeps me distracted and I can get more in rather than focusing on the workout. I'm glad I got him as a trainer.

I have had the pleasure to with with my PT Jae for over a year and a half now. He is an asset to the company, and has seriously changed my life. When I first started going to the gym; I was a bit chunky, and wasn’t a frequent gym goer. He explained things to me, and has taken the time to teach me with patience. Jae has been someone who I trust, and is very genuine. I have purchased more PT appointments because of Jae’s training experience and positive demeanor and the weight that I have lost and have maintained. If you have the opportunity to be assigned to him you will be in great hands.
The entire staff in the crunch community has been so warm and welcoming, I have gotten to know John the head of the Pt department and he is truly amazing as well, and have had the privilege to take his classes as well. The classes are great and you really learn a lot.
The people at the front desk are very helpful as well. I am happy to be apart of the crunch family.

re-joined after surgery recouping this year and was charged full fees- afterwards i had a serious medical condition which prevented me from workouts. i paid fees for months (wonderful auto withdrawals (( which when i was a prior member this gym never notified it’s members was even happening)) and was able to get there perhaps 5 times after re-joining, in a period of a few months. when i called to freeze or hold my account the staff told me to “just cancel”. sure $ out the window. called the gym and was given a number which someone answered “hello?” with no identification of a business… so now i had to use an email. i am ever hopeful this can be resolved and it’s ridiculous not to allow medical holds and keep taking members monies . never ever again.

I have been a crunch member for almost two years now. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcomed, like you belong. I have never felt that warm-welcome and friendly feeling at other gyms. I have also been working with a personal trainer, Katia, for the past two years. She knows her stuff and will push me to do more then I think I can do. She also makes the sessions fun and explains what it is we are doing and why. I have gained muscle and lost weight working with Katia and have stuck to a more consistent gym routine then I would have, had I not had her as a trainer.

The trainers are pretty great people. Most of my personal training appointments have been with Laina, but I’ve gotten to know a couple others and they have good vibes and are very encouraging. Laina has given me more experience doing workouts that I was previously uncomfortable doing, as well as a good mix of intense and somewhat more relaxed sessions. Although I will say that the gym could be a bit more organized. Sometimes equipment will not be in the place they should be, and spread out across the gym.

I requested corporate number but was refused, no regional manager call me and general manager Rafael is useless he didn't put my money back in the card how he said he would.

It's not bad, much better than the Y. I haven't been to PF in a few years but the equipment at Crunch seems to be much better. I'm disappointed with the "power half hour" equipment, it's garbage and in the same place as all the rest so people just use it. Unlike at PF where the circuit equipment is in its own room. Also there's only one hydromassage chair so sometimes there's quite a wait. But everything else is great and the staff is always super friendly

Great gym, good people, but they do a group class every other morning out on the main floor w blaring PA speakers that your headphones can't even compete w. Here's the best part... they have TWO empty rooms dedicated to that. I know it's more convenient as all the equipment they use for that class is on the main floor but I have seen them lug equipment into those class rooms for other classes. This will be the reason I have to go back to planet fitness 😩

Please be aware when you sign up or cancel membership from this gym. I walked in 8/8 around 6pm to cancel the membership. I was notified about 30 day cancellation policy and was told that I will be paying for two months. I was given instruction that my last day to use the gym will be Oct 2nd. They billed me on Oct 3rd so I called them and told them I cancelled but they are saying it is not documented on their end. I couldn’t even talk to the manager because she wasn’t there. No phone number was given to reach someone who can fix this issue. They are saying I should have took a picture of the cancellation document. If that is the case, you should have informed the customer to take a picture or provide a copy. Don’t trust what they tell you verbally, Rafael told me I can cancel membership anytime due to my circumstances but it was a lie. Crunch is telling me it was a 1 year contract. Also they cancelled my PT agreement but never cancelled my membership agreement when I asked to cancel both. They also take you to debt collecting company so be aware.

Edit- after connecting to the general manager Joanne last October, crunch reimbursed me for October and November 2023 payment, but continued to charge every month until now. They are hiring debt collecting company to collect money on an already cancelled membership. So be aware

I rejoined Crunch Oct 2023 because I needed a jump start, again. Personal Trainer, Katia was my personal trainer a few years ago, and helped me reach my goal again. I’m down those last stubborn 10 lbs and build muscles that I didn’t think I could bring back. Katia makes it fun, adds variety and listens to my feedback to make each session count.

Be warned this place is doing some very shady unauthorized recurring debits from people’s accounts even after you pay your monthly membership and regardless of how many times it is brought to their attention it is not corrected. They debited membership fee and then some crazy unexplained additional charges. I went to the fraud department at the bank and reported it and on the better business bureau website there are many complaints of the same nature. Be sure you are checking your statements I can’t imagine how many people don’t realize they are getting ripped off. Save yourself some aggravation and do not join this gym, the manager there is awful and their corporate office is a sham as well, I’ll update this review to keep you all informed

Don't waste your time. Poor management, bad trainers, and nothing gets fixed. Soap may or may not be available in the locker rooms; the same goes for paper towels.

Employees/trainers are more likely chatting with a friend or each other than keeping the place running. Machines are broken for months on end, and some are still being used in their unsafe condition. Nothing is inspected, ever.

Their monthly fee and yearly fee just keep going up. And no, they don't notify you of any price changes. There's fees on top of your regular monthly fee now as well. So it's not even cheap anymore.

Look elsewhere. It's a sinking ship.

The price is right, so a lot of people go there. You won't always get the station of your choosing, so be flexible in your workouts.

I don't like how they have classes in the middle of the workout area, instead of the classrooms. When a staff member is yelling into a microphone for the couple of people in the class, it's really difficult to stay in your zone. When an open area class starts, I go home.

The front desk has admitted that despite several complaints, management won't change the practice. It's really disrespectful to the other 90%+ trying to workout at the same time. I find it baffling that even a chain could make such a bad call. The gym would rate a lot higher if they showed the rest of the members a little more courtesy.

I originally rated this establishment 5 stars. It used to be one of the better gyms in Middletown. Read to the end before signing up.

Fast forward to the present day, this is by far the worst gym in Middletown... and that's saying a lot compared to Pizza Planet

For starters, there are countless inoperable machines at any given time. When the issues are brought up to staff, various excuses are given, and resolution is far and few between. Equipment has not been inspected in what feels like since opening day, and the lack of inspection is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Some of the current issues include: Bolts are missing from the base of the power half hour row machine, the triceps push down is missing its sticker regarding safety, the knee extension machine has mismatched bolts holding it together, the Smith machines are missing the safety catch to stop 360 spin of the bar, the movable benches are often loose, the hip thrust is missing the nonslip mat, cable machines are improperly lubricated.

Secondly, soap in the bathroom is rarely filled, paper towels are often empty, and the machines for the paper towels are always broken or jammed. Staff members are rarely found keeping the gym tidy, weights are found all over the ground, the tanning machines are filthy, the bathrooms often have toilet paper sitting on top of the dispenser instead of inside and a sink in the women's bathroom is clogged. It's a shame that even cleanliness is not a top priority.

Lastly, many of the staff members are completely unprofessional and lacking training. I witnessed an employee threaten a gym member, staff is often found on their cellphones or with headphones on, soap and paper towels are found empty for the 2 hours I am at the gym and go without being checked. Few front desk employees fail to exchange pleasantries during the comings and goings of gym members.
Trainers need to be desperately reeducated because safety is thrown out the window. The black bars, known as deadlift bars, are not to be used for benching and/or squatting, and I have seen countless trainers using black bars for squatting/benching. There is no correction that he incorrect bar is being used and is unsafe to use for certain exercises. Trainers struggle to provide proper guidance to their clients, form is often incorrect and borderline dangerous, they use multiple machines at one time and don't offer work-ins...especially during busy times. Please offer respect to all patrons, not just those paying for personal training.

Following all of the issues, I canceled my membership. Charging $2 fee on top of your monthly thy fee without notifying your customers is shameful. Paying $15.99 a month for a bunch of busted dirty machines is not worth it. This is not the same Crunch Fitness from 3 years ago, when I started.

Take the time to read your other negative reviews, or barking patrons won't be the only reason you lose customers.

So, to all you reading this review that were thinking of joining this dump... Save your energy for your workouts and choose a different gym.

Love this gym usually but the last month or two has been rough. A lot of the cables and machines have been out of order for weeks now.
-edit to update two weeks later: even more out of order equipment & nothing has been fixed.

Gym has fallen off in the last year. I blame the new ownership that cares more about greed than anything.

It's a graveyard of broken equipment. We are promised repairs but they just never happen.

Advertisements for "sponsors" . The gym might as well be cable TV. You walk in and you see three billboards for different companies. The tvs that actually do work display ads too.

Hidden $2 fee. All memberships include a "convenience " fee per month. They didn't make any announcements for it - it was added "in the fine print". So when joining, realize the dues are actually $2 more per month than advertised.

I've never seen such corporate greed at a gym.

The gym used to be special. The staff there still is exceptional. But even with the great staff, it's like putting makeup on a donkey.

Do better crunch.

I really like the staff here (they are so nice!) but the issue with this gym is the condition of the equipment. I keep on seeing more and more out of order signs on machines/cable stations and nothing is maintained properly. They haven’t even taken the time to lubricate the rails for the cable area so each one sticks and/or barely moves. I almost hurt myself while working out today as a weight on one of the cables stuck half way through a rep. That is just unacceptable for a large commercial gym like this.

Don’t go here if you’re looking for friendly staff. They are impatient and will assume you’re stealing if you take a water bottle out or the fridge and don’t pay for it. Will call you a thief. You will find a lack of emotional control here very apparent amongst the staff. Gym is good though, good equipment, nice features, but the terrible staff ruined it for me and I will never be coming back. If you are a higher up at crunch and reading this, really reconsider who’s on your team and determine who’s actually good for the overall well being of the gym community. Don’t hire a bunch of short tempered retards.

Pros and Cons from the male perspective.

Cons: Bathroom and showers are a bit cramped. No overhead lat pullover machine.

Pros: Sports Turf, jungle bar, olympic lift platforms, glute drive machine, and moderately spaced out. Equipment is clean and shiny.... Plenty of Grey and blue to go around.

This gym is good for heavy lifters, or light lifters. The addition of selectorized equipment and hammer strength stations beats out "the other fitness" competition in these categories.

I love the "roc-it" selectorized line by Hoist. Those machines are fun because you rock with every rep.

If you like tanning and hydromassage machine, they have that too.

Hopefully, the owner can improve the minor grips over time. Adding the overhead lat pulldown machine would get all 5 stars from me.

Location is also close to a firestone. Drop your car off and work out until your car is ready.

Good Gym. Great location. PARTY ON!
