Crunch Fitness - Greenpoint

Crunch Greenpoint is in a great spot just five minutes from the G train and surrounded by good food. The gym has two floors with a lot of treadmills but only a few bikes so they can be hard to get. The machines are a mix of older but well-kept ones and some newer muscle-building ones. Some are a little squeaky but nothing too bad. It gets packed during rush hour from six to eight PM but I had no trouble grabbing a treadmill. The fitness class area is right next to the cardio section and the machines are pretty close together so you can definitely feel the person next to you going hard on the treadmill. The treadmills have built-in fans but they mostly blow warm air. The locker room is in the basement where I saw a yoga class happening. The women’s locker room is clean with lots of lockers so bring a lock. There are a good number of bathroom stalls showers and sinks. I saw about four water-filling stations on the first floor and the filters seem solid. Everyone is pretty good about wiping down machines and there are plenty of cleaning stations around.

Visiting NY and needed a free pass. This gym is conveniently located and active, but I was easily able to use a squat rack. Nice mix of free weights and machines, floor space for abs, clean bathrooms and everybody wipes down their stations. Used the free day with no hard-sell. If I lived here, it seemed a good fit.

I’ve been a loyal member of this gym for over seven years, and I’ve always appreciated the welcoming and professional front desk staff—until recently. After reading other reviews, I see I’m not the only one experiencing issues with an employee named “Nick.” Nick’s attitude is shockingly unprofessional. He is rude, argumentative, and completely unhelpful. Any time you ask him a question, he either doesn’t know the answer or responds with an attitude. Despite claiming to be the “operations manager,” he doesn’t seem to have the knowledge or professionalism expected of that role. Frankly, I doubt the legitimacy of his title. It’s unacceptable for a staff member to treat paying members with such disrespect. If this continues, I wouldn’t be surprised if more members start canceling their memberships. This gym used to have an inviting atmosphere, but Nick’s presence at the front desk has completely changed that. Management needs to address this issue before it drives away more loyal members.

My mans Nkiru is an absolute beast, I started personal training like two weeks ago and since then I've been spending every free moment I have in the gym. Friendliest sadist I ever met. Kettlebell for days. Love it, you will too. #beachbodexpresslane
