Crunch Fitness - Chelsea

short: It's a fun and clean place to work out with classes, showers, and towel service included. The ambient lighting is beautiful and inviting. money-saving tip: check with your employer to see if you're eligible for the corporate rate, which is about 30% discount off the monthly rate long: I inquired about the corporate rate for my employer. I was excited to learn that it's about 30% off. I met with Louis that day after work. He gave me a tour and explained things. I really appreciate the exceptional experience he provides. I signed up immediately. The place just feels right. Unlike other gyms like Planet Fitness and blink where I want to leave as soon as possible, this place I actually want to stay, relax and recover, then workout more.The classes really make the membership price alone worth it. I work in an office so I'm sitting down all day, therefore I need movement and I get it from the classes. I did sign up for a dozen personal training sessions, and it's worth it. Jordan, the lead personal trainer, is very knowledgeable to a point that it shows he has a master degree in it. My personal trainer is Octave, a former soccer player. He is very patient and positive. This is the first time that I felt that the personal training was actually customized for my goals. In the past I had a personal trainer at blink and the guy seemed to have one general plan for everyone because he didn't incorporate anything I asked for and when I confronted him about it he insisted that I need a general plan to get in shape. I canceled after the third session. Max and Brandon are also great. Now, this location does get crazy crowded, especially on Mondays. Basically: Monday to Wednesday is crowded. The great thing is that almost no one does legs at this location,so those machines are available every day and night. The first day I went, a girl had her personal belongings scattered on the machine and on the seat of a leg machine. I thought it was the girl on the next machine and she informed me that the girl is on the other side of the room. I approached her to ask if she finished using the machine, while she was busy crab-walking with a resistance band, and she told me that she had one more set to do. I was like oh no not on my first day I can't tolerate this, so I went downstairs and informed Louis that a girl was holding a leg machine hostage while she was doing a different work out at the other side of the room. He went upstairs and took care of it right away. Ever since, I mostly just do legs, personal training, and classes. I am very happy here. In comparison to Equinox, which I also joined, this is the smart choice: bang for the buck, and no twelve month commitment. Equinox does have refrigerated minty fresh towels that I do love. Highly recommended. For anyone looking for great classes at Crunch I recommend the following: - Michael A - Chelsea - Mitchell - 54th - Adam - Chelsea

I had an amazing experience at Crunch Gym! Every time I visit the city, I make it a point to return to this fantastic facility. The front desk staff, especially Dahlia, is incredibly professional and welcoming. She always greets me with a smile and is ready to assist with any questions I have. The gym is well-equipped, clean, and has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Crunch Gym to anyone looking for a great workout environment. Can't wait to come back!

Crunch Chelsea is a standout gym, not just for its equipment and staff but for the atmosphere and vibe that make every workout feel inspiring. The lighting and ambiance are next level, it’s modern, cool, and designed to keep you motivated. The dimly lit training areas are balanced with vibrant pops of color that energize the space, making it feel more like an upscale creative studio than a traditional gym. The manager was incredibly helpful and kind, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. My personal trainer, Octave, was exceptional. Being French myself, I was thrilled to connect with a trainer who shared my background and understood my goals. Octave’s expertise working with artists, creatives, and models was evident, and his tailored approach was exactly what I needed. Crunch Chelsea combines style, substance, and an unbeatable vibe. Whether you’re there for the inspiring ambiance or top-notch training with Octave, this gym is a true gem. Highly recommended!

I travel from LA to NY frequently, and every time I’m in town, I choose Crunch Fitness—and a big part of that decision is the incredible staff. Daliah and Lewis at the front desk always go above and beyond to make members feel welcome. They’re professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which makes a huge difference when you’re navigating a new gym or just trying to get a solid workout in. Their positive energy and attention to detail create a great atmosphere, and it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back. Highly recommend this location, not just for the facilities but for the people who make it feel like home!

My husband and I travelled over from London and were helped out by the wonderful Dahlia on the front desk. She sorted us out with 2 day passes to the gym at a really good price given the location! The gym is great and I’d recommend it to anyone in the local vicinity!
