Reviews of Crunch Fitness - Canton (Gym)

Max Pollak

Big fan of Crunch Fitness. The place is very nice and the equipment is modern and they have a great variety. Most of the front of house staff is amazing (Shout out Joe, Jarrell, and Carlos). The staff is 75% of the reason I go to Crunch. They are friendly, supportive and will often help ensure our form and workout routine are correct. The spin class and especially the instructors are great and super friendly. The gym is great for beginners and people who are just getting started at the gym. The only complaints, preventing this from being a 5-Star are that the introductory personal training session needs some work. The team there didn’t listen to my wife’s personal goals and proceeded to tell her what her goals should be, even though they were very different, and not at all what she was hoping to achieve out of going to the gym. The other issue is that there have been some issues with towel cleanliness. Today there were a few towels I pulled out that had dried blood or other stains on them.

I love Crunch Fitness. The staff is always super friendly. My trainer Tara O'Connell is the best. The best thing about training with Tara O'Connell is that I always feel better when I leave. I feel that she gears each session according to my ability and goals. I feel challenged each time and that I’m progressing in increasing my agility, strength, balance and brain concentration. I love that she is patient and at the same time has high exceptions for me. I highly recommend Tara O'Connell as a Personal Trainer.

Love love love this gym!! I switched over from Merritt and although their facility is much smaller, it’s way less crowded (even during peak times) and I don’t ever have to wait to use equipment. I do personal training with Warren and he kicks my a$$ every time, in the best possible way lol. All their trainers are friendly & knowledgeable and are always willing to help— even if you’re not their client.

Crunch is awesome! The equipment is in My great shape, My trainer Warren comes up with full body exercises that get me excited to work out. And motivates me to keep going. The workout seems really personalized. He's an awesome guy and I totally recommend him if you're looking for a trainer. seen lots of success. I've lost a few pounds and gained a lot of muscle. In-between my sessions Donovan gives me tips and exercises. Lawrence has given me tips. And I've even worked out with Jerrel. So all around this place and more importantly the people there create a positive place to get in shape.

Been a member since they opened up and am overall loving the experience. They have a lot of cool equipment and is stocked better than a Planet Fitness or Spunk, but isn't as pricey as Merritt. It's a solid in-between. Lots of space, the staff is nice, and the hours are pretty convenient. There are three downsides to Crunch. Because the franchise is Canadian, a lot of the machines are in kilos instead of lbs, so the weights jump up in weird intervals. There is only one hex bar which there is usually a line to use. The HIIT classes can kick you out of zones they want to use / are really really really loud

Be aware, your workout will be interrupted by one of there "classes." You may get asked to end your workout on a specific machine early because they have "reserved" it for said classes. Also prepare to have hearing loss. They blast the sound system during their classes, usually with someone yelling overtop of music. Added: They are also extremely slow to fix broken equipment, the sauna has broken for over several months now

I changed it to 5. I had given it 3 because of the ads thing, but they have made up for it with their amenities, high quality and up to date machines, these machines use the latest technology and design, it appears that my workouts are better, the range of motion feels better. Also, the amenities are great tanning being my favorite (I know but everything in moderation)! I hope it doesn’t become super crowded like Merritt during peak hrs! So far I really enjoy coming to workout here. I still keep both memberships Merritt and this one because they offer different things, but if you have a guest in town, you can take them to crunch no questions asked, it’s pretty rad! Also, if you go out of town you can use crunch, except for some location you may have to pay $10

Very friendly and attentive staff. I don't like to bash other clubs, I have been to a lot of them. It's nice to walk in and get a greeting and smile instead of seeing someone on their cellphone. Also, their coaches and trainers are great! I have not worked with all but the ones I have are fun, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. They make you want to come back. At this price level, it's a great deal.

Gym was ok except for towels never being available to the afternoon. They do have $35 initiation fee so don't be fooled by promo pricing also a 2 month minimum even if you want to only do it for 1 month. Tried to cancel to due to work restrictions and management said i had to pay annual fee of $60 plus the new month. Real great business model. Guess thats how they keep it empty.

Brittany Marie

Very clean gym. Not overcrowded. Only issue is when a class is going on it can be super super loud and you can hear it through your earphones while you're working out on the machines. Find yourself some noise canceling ones and get your workout on.

Celeste Davis

I love Crunch and the whole team that works here. This gym provides everything I need for a gym. I initially joined because I've loved Crunch fitness classes for years and wanted access to them in person. Instead, I've now turned to their personal training and working with Warren has been transformative with great leadership from Donovan. I know I'm in for fun every time I enter the gym. I will likely let go of my membership to Merritt.

Joe Podoley

Pretty great so far, nice and clean facility with all the equipment I could want or need. A lot of classes that seem popular too.

Hernan Diaz

Great gym and atmosphere. One of the trainers, Dasha, was exceptional as well. She was very knowledgeable and motivating. Would highly recommend working with her at least once, whether you’re just starting or need a little extra push like I did!

Terresa Carter

I love Crunch! My husband and I had been members of another local gym for years but decided to give Crunch a try. I am so glad we did. Not only does Crunch offer so much more, but the lower prices enabled us to each get personal training. Tara O'Connell is my trainer and she is the best. I was recovering from a major surgery when we started my training and was extremely worried about injuring myself. Tara and I discussed my goals, my doctor's recommendations and she then incorporated that into my program. She is very observant during our sessions and adjusts my workouts accordingly. She is so accommodating with my schedule and extremely encouraging. Tara always answers my texts with my many questions in a timely manner. The diet plan she has me on is easy to follow and offers lots of substitutions. The best part is I can see the positive changes in my body, the numbers dropping on the scale and most importantly, my clothes are getting looser. Time to go shopping!

Erika Schultz

I love Crunch Canton! All the employees are great but I’m most thankful for Tara. She is hands down the most incredible trainer. She pushes me to achieve my goals and work harder then I ever thought possible! She makes me hold myself accountable and strive to do better every session! I even get updated workout plans so I know what to do if I’m working out on my own! If you’re looking for a personal trainer Tara is the way to go!

Myra Chapman

Without hesitation I can highly recommend Warren of Crunch Canton location. He’s a great trainer. He pushes me to reach my fitness goals. He often reminds me my health is my wealth and to never give up on my fitness goals. He’s, kind, patient, warm and extremely knowledgeable. The location of Crunch Canton is perfect, parking, price of services and membership is reasonably priced. I feel comfortable and confident while working out there. I found Warren to be skilled, professional and prompt. I would recommend anyone to give the Crunch a try.

Crystal Ornduff

Very nice but the manager Marcia is not very nice

K Henderson

I love Crunch Fitness in Canton! My trainer Donavan is amazing and always pushes me to reach my goals!! He is very knowledgeable and personable, and I always get a great woukout. I've made great progress so far, and he keeps me motivated to see how much farther I can go! Crunch has everything I need in a gym and more. The facilities are clean and well equipped, and the staff is friendly. I am so glad a friend recommended this gym to me when it opened, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a gym in the Baltimore area!!

Brand new. Lots of options.

(07/26/2019) It is disappointing that the retail area here where the gym is located is so poorly maintained. The security in the area is horrible. It isn't safe, and that is coming from a former L/E officer. I know of three bicycles getting stripped, in broad daylight. One of them was mine. I cannot afford to supply everyone else's bike parts and membership fees. (07/25/2019) After what I thought to be thoughtful consideration by the staff the blaring music and feedback skreech continues with the HIIT instructions. All that is necessary to fix this is to learn how to position oneself and lower the volume. (05/2019) OMG the hip-hop music choice is a distraction. And then the instructor's barking... Startling and; unimpressive.

Susan Bobovsky

I love the classes and the instructors

Large gym with lots of machines that cater to people that are into CrossFit, running, jogging, and other non free weight exercises. VERY friendly staff. Cannot stress that enough, friendliness is very important, especially in a business like this, and these guys do a 100% great job of it. Heavy lifters should do a free walkthrough before they decide if it's a place they may want to work out as there are only two free weight benches and one preacher curl bench, but they do have plenty of dumbbells and other free weight machines. Overall a very nice gym with very good staff.

Carlos Salazar

Nice new clean facility with good selection of equipment and management is very helpful/responsive.

Chrissy Carmody

I've been a member of Canton Crunch for a month now, and am beyond satisfied. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and spacious...and the classes are awesome. The value for money simply cannot be beat. Parking is easy, the gym is busy but not too overcrowded, and best of all, they have trainers like Donovan C. He is my (and my husband's) personal trainer, and he is so great! Knowledgeable, professional, fun, motivating...and hard core! Everything you want if you want to get results and enjoy the journey.

My girlfriend and I got the highest tier membership in May and ended up cancelling the membership about 3 weeks ago, simply because we did not use it as much as we thought. The equipment at Crunch is certainly very nice and everything I saw was clean. However, when we went to cancel our membership things got difficult. We had to come into the gym to cancel it (which was fine). When we got there we spoke with someone, told him we’d like to cancel, he said okay and asked some questions about why. He then had us sign something verifying our cancellation and then said we were all good to go. Just this past week my girlfriend started getting phone calls from the financial company Crunch uses (ABC), saying that we have an outstanding balance. We were naturally confused by this as we were not told when canceling in person that we owed anything. When we called them back we were told there was ZERO record of us cancelling our membership and that we owed roughly $100. This really is unacceptable. It’s lovely that the gym is clean and modern and all, but do not scam your clients out of money because YOU can’t handle paperwork.

Tara O'Connell

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever trained at!! I love the people there!!!

Mike German

New giant Crunch gym. Lots of equipment and space. Friendly staff and members. 3 Olympic platforms and racks. Highly recommend
