I worked with Sophie today and she is such a bright light! She was so sweet and encouraged me to push myself throughout the workout! I recommend her for personal training sessions!!

Erratic opening times and relatively unclean facility.

Update: Opening hours are definitely on a sliding scale. Probably more like optional

Jaden was very amazing on the Tour that we got the walk-through, he showed us everything we needed to know and told us about the classes and showed us where everything was at, and then we went and had a massage and then we tan, and it was a very good time

I can only work out at 5am seems like management has a hard time getting employees to show up to open the gym. I’ve shown up three times after 5 and no one is there and the gym is dark, completely ruins my morning.

I can count multiple times I’ve showed up a little after 5am and the gym is still not open. You would think the manager would schedule two people to open the gym to avoid this happening. Unfortunately this is really the only gym in the area, and I can only work out in the morning.

Our trainer, Jaden, is very competent, always on time, attentive and fully prepared for our sessions. The workouts are personalized to meet each of our goals and he is very supportive, respectful and even knows how to throw in a joke or two! His expertise is assisting me in having more energy and strength and to feel good about myself again. The strength, flexibility and energy I am gaining is helping me to be the best version of me in my job and daily activities in general. I really enjoy working with this personal trainer and look forward to each session. The workouts are fun and I'm feeling stronger each week!

We’ve started going to Crunch fitness for about 2 years. The equipment is wonderful, well kept and the place is spotless. Some of the front desk staff, especially Noah, and the new assistant manager are awesome. Best I’ve ever encountered in a gym.
The new manager doesn’t know what she is doing. Telling the front desk people to clean every 2 hours so there’s no one at the desk to help, hiring really meh people. I introduced myself to her, she nodded, sort of said hello and then left to move some equipment a few feet. I’ve been a senior director and VP at several firms and I would have fired her. She doesn’t understand customer care and is irritating the staff. The last manager was great, your new one really lousy.

I want to give a shout-out to my Personal Trainer, Ethan. He pushes me, is very knowledgeable, and correctly evaluates my strengths and weaknesses to make me better and stronger. It has been a few months since I started training with Ethan, and I have seen excellent results. My shirt size went from a medium to a small! He succeeded in an impossible mission: making me look forward to my training sessions. He is a fantastic trainer and a super personable person.

I highly recommend him as a trainer!

Today's classes were top to bottom workout and aerobics with attitude with Nell. She's such a great teacher who really cares for her students and works to get them strong. She emphasizes good form over speed, and always ensures that her students are working out safely and properly. I love my other teachers during the week: Elaine, Jalyn, Debbie and Lisa. All are such wonderfully caring teachers!

The new classes for this quarter are really challenging, and I look forward to building up strength.

Absolutely annoying! A local fitness trainer person explained different music at 10 decimals above the Crunch fitness center speaker music. And they’re playing different songs! I can’t even hear myself think! You need to allow the local coach fitness staff member to shut off one of the music systems while personal training is ongoing. The other issue at this center is multiple equipment is broken and has been broken for months. Why am I paying for a service when I can’t even use it? This place has fallen apart. I’m really pissed and thinking about stopping my membership. I’ve had enough

Giuliana is so amazing. She is full of wisdom, knowledge and kind energy and shares it all. I received more than I had anticipated. All of my goals were met and then some. I have a new sense of confidence in what I’m actually doing with the equipment and fun routines to keep me motivated. I am sore in places that feel great and surprising to be honest. Places that never really felt soreness and it makes me want to keep lifting and experimenting. She truly knows so much!!! She is so experienced and passionate and assisted me in all my areas of curiosity and concern, really tailoring each session to what myself and my body desired. The body whisperer!!! I tell ya! I have never felt so great and it’s like I’m reverse aging! I honesty have no joint pain. It’s great! She pointed out things I felt (ie the way I dip in one of my hips) but didn’t know how to correct and she gave me simple solutions and I do them and they work!!! If you are questioning, just do it! Giuliana just knows. I thank you Giuliana so much!!!!

I joined because this is the only gym in this area that has Spin classes. Which are great. But the workout equipment is crammed together and a very limited selection to choose from. They do have a lot of free weights and benches but again they are too close together.

The must uncomfortable gym environment I’ve experienced, gym bros yelling between sets, slamming weights and 4 people standing around one machine. Broken equipment and poorly managed. Tried to cancel but the manager took forever to reply to my emails and now I have to pay the annual fee after only jointing for a week.

My first time ever trying crunch gym and let's say it was actually very nice. The staff has such a warm greeting. I came with a trainer to start working on myself, I had no idea how intense these machines can be lol. Once I got the hang of how to operate them everything else fell into place. Overall I enjoyed it alot and will definitely be back.

This gym is a great value for the price, but it could definitely use some love and attention. The precore leg press is a real beast - simple and almost indestructible, but it seems to break down all the time. The leg extension is a bit more finicky, with more moving parts, but it’s also heavily used and has been out of commission for months at a time.
And don’t even get me started on the people who don’t know how to unload plates. It can be frustrating when you’re waiting for a machine to be free. The trainers don’t even unload the machine and they use the broken machines all the time. With low cost, this is what you get.
So, in conclusion, this gym is a solid investment for the price, but I would pay more for a better gym experience.

Overall I have been very happy with this gym. The staff are friendly and there is a good variety of equipment. The thing that I’m finding frustrating right now that is causing this lower rating is the delays in fixing broken equipment. The water bottle refill station was broken for an excessively long time which was rough for a thirsty gal like myself. Also the leg press and pull up machines have been broken forever. If it weren’t for that, I would give 5 stars.

This gym has the potential to be great. But they tend to never open in the morning. This is the third morning they have not opened in the row. This month. I can dismiss that there are three of four machines that have been broken for months. And the water fountain has not worked in weeks. But not to open when people are driving from the west side of Cincinnati is not ok.

For what you pay, I find this gym to not be worth it. Okay amount of very used equipment. Weights are often completely disorganized and no care is taken to undo the mess. The chin-up assist machine is out of order like 60% of the time you go. Every day I have been in the past 3 weeks this machine and one or two others were out of order, along with the nice water fountain. God forbid anything take less than 30 days to get fixed at your business establishment, let alone something of as central importance to the gym’s patrons like access to a decent water fountain and a functioning pull-up assist machine. I mean, why would that be important at all to a gym you’re paying $33 a month to use

If I could give 100 stars, I would.

Cohen isn’t just a personal trainer—he’s a fitness sorcerer, a wellness whisperer, and possibly a Greek god moonlighting at Crunch Fitness to grace us mortals with his presence.

From the moment I met Cohen, I knew my life was about to change. And not just my biceps—my soul.

He doesn’t just tell you to do pushups—he inspires you to ascend to a higher plane of pushup enlightenment. His burpee form? Poetry. His pep talks? Oscar-worthy. His playlist? So good it cured my gym anxiety and probably reversed my aging process.

Every session feels like I’m being personally trained by the combined spirits of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mister Rogers, and a golden retriever—motivating, kind, and relentlessly encouraging.

I used to avoid the gym like it was a haunted house full of mirrors. Now, thanks to Cohen, I’m voluntarily doing squats at 7am and smiling like I just won the lottery.

If you’re lucky enough to train with Cohen, you’re not just working out. You’re joining a cult of positivity, gains, and very sore abs.

10/10. Would recommend. Would name my firstborn after him. Probably already have.

Love crunch generally. One of the few affordable places to get a well rounded training session in. And pretty reliable across most sites.
Some key machines are broken though which is tough when there’s only 1 or 2 available.
No kids crunch available is pretty disappointing too. Was going to get my dtr and her partner signed up…. But kids make going less realistic.

Edit: I did file a complaint with the FCC as well for all of the calls

This place is awful. I typically turn off my debit card so a lot of transactions I cannot cancel will not go through. Well my mistake for not turning it off, they took $178 out of my account when they refuse to cancel over the phone. I am on disability and make very little money from that. The way they charged was very confusing that I didn't even know who was charging.

The only way to cancel is to go into gym in person. I did that and was told everything was canceled but continued to be charged for several months. I called the manager and they said they dont have record of me canceling and only corporate could fix it but I needed "proof" I came in. How is that possible. If I'd known how much of a joke this place was I never would've joined. The free meeting with trainer and how I treated ny trainer made me want to quit immediately. He said inappropriate and awkward things to me and felt disrespected and disgusted. I told manager about this as my reason to cancel and she didn't seem to care. When I had to talk to her again after my cancelation didnt go through she says that trainer no longer works there...I guess he was an issue after all. However did anyone at any point reach out to me to let me know or try to listen about my concerns then? No. I do not recommend this place.

I canceled my Crunch membership in summer 2023, and I have email proof showing that I was issued a 7-day guest pass in October 2023 — clearly indicating I was not an active member. Yet, they continued to charge me without my knowledge.

In May 2024, I went back in person to resolve the issue. I paid $110 and spoke directly with a manager, who told me that upon payment, my membership would be cancelled. During that in person meeting, I was never told I needed to sign a separate cancellation form — that detail conveniently came up after more charges appeared on my account.

Now they’re refusing to issue a refund, blaming me for a breakdown in their communication and internal process. I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General’s office, and the FTC, and legal action for fraudulent billing and deceptive business practices.

Crunch has demonstrated a complete lack of professionalism and integrity. I would strongly advise anyone considering joining to think twice — there are plenty of other gyms that don’t treat their members like this.

Been member since 2019 same equipment needs improvement in equipment old out dated cardio machine needs up grade. All equipment is outdated staff are great nice always helpful . Bathrooms and locker room is a 50/50 depending on the time after 4pm till closing its needs attention toilet especially. That’s why I stop coming here I used to come on regular I join here so this is my home base but I can go to any crunch and Planet Fitness so I move around. But mainly I stop coming here because of these reasons. Gym should always be clean and equipment needs always be up dated.But I’m a big fan of the heavy punch bags that what keeps me coming so that’s why I’m still a member.

Fix the TV that’s been frozen on Eric on family feud for the past month ——- update. A week after I posted this it’s been stuck on a picture of Steve Harvey. Better, but same thing

Is a good place to workout, but the music they play every day.. SUCKS!!!!... Is not uplifting. So don't forget your headphones.

Crunch Newport is by far the best gym in NKY (and I’ve tried them all). Cole is a super knowledgeable and professional personal trainer and has exceeded my expectations for our training sessions! I can totally feel a difference in my fitness and attribute it to my experiences here!

Great facility. Got a pass while I am in town and would not hesitate to join if I lived here.

Manager was super friendly and staff greeted me on arrival and departure.

Overall, a terrific workout.

We loved the variety of machines and spaces to work out how we choose. Ethan showed us all the ropes and was great to help us where needed.

Honestly since I've been a member there, I've noticed the exact same machines break repeatedly. Maybe replace the whole thing instead of putting a bandaid on it? And there original cable machines have random resistance due to lack of maintenance and cleaning of the poles.
Though they have FINALLY gotten some new equipment after years of all the regulars complaining.
But for me, my biggest complaint is how God offly cold it is in there. Especially during winter.
I can take pre workout, cardio warm-up for 10 minutes and lift weights and not break a single drop of sweat. I've even had body builders complain about it. The front desk wears coats with a space heater. Guests walk on the stair masters with bubble coats.
I went ahead and found a new gym. One where you can walk in during winter and take your coat of comfortably.
But hopefully they have better things coming their way

As a daily guest to this location obviously I love going. The staff are great I really enjoy seeing Emerson and her smiling face. If she’s not helping at the front desk she’s always cleaning something. Another staff member I see daily is Ethan. He always has a positive attitude. He’s also always busy doing something. I would definitely recommend this gym.

This place is always clean and employees very friendly. Had a fun conversation this week with Noah and Emerson who, along with the rest of the staff, are always quick to say Good Morning and wish me a good workout (love the positivity!). Equipment here is kept clean and there's plenty of it. No matter how busy it is, you can always find open cardio options.

Went to cancel our membership and the lady at the counter was completely rude to my boyfriend. He asked her to do her a favor to find out which store was his home store to cancel and she cut him off and said she doesn’t date broke men as IF HE WANTED HER IN THE FIRST PLACE. Try hiring less pretentious women.

Not a gym to try, costs more to cancel it than to join.

I've had an amazing experience at this Crunch location, and it's bittersweet that I have to leave due to my move. I want to take a moment to highlight one employee in particular—Ethan Bush. From the moment I joined, Ethan was incredibly welcoming and always checked in on my goals and progress. His passion for his job and helping others is evident in everything he does, and he truly makes Crunch a special place. I’ll miss his daily fist bumps at 5 pm, but I’m grateful for all the positive energy he brings. Ethan is truly an asset to the team, and I'm thankful for everything he’s done to make my time here memorable
