| - When I discovered that Crunch gym was about to open in the Waterfront, I immediately signed up for a membership and cancelled my membership at Planet Fitness. Crunch is much closer to where I live which is a big deal since I don't like to spend a lot of time driving just to go to the gym.
Initially I thought Crunch would comprise of the bottom and top floors of the old Filenes Basement. However, Crunch is on the top floor and a men's clothing store will be on the bottom floor. The gym is actually smaller than other gyms I've been to but it is still spacious and even has a large fitness studio for the various classes that are offered such as Pilates and Zumba.
The women's locker room is nice. It has a grey and purple color scheme going on. There are plenty of lockers, a scale, five bathroom stalls, three showers and an area where there are sinks as well as an extra counter to do your hair and make up. There are no paper towels, only two hand dryers. The only thing I don't like about the locker room is that there are no changing stalls.
There are plenty of options available to have a fun and effective workout. If you are a cardio queen or king, there are an estimated 30 treadmills, around a dozen or more elliptical machines, and a handful of stairstep machines. The weightlifting area is my favorite. There are plenty of free weights and weight machines (plate and pin) to tone or build up your muscles. If you prefer to stretch before you work out, there is an area in the front of the facility that provides mats. Also in that same area are kettle bells and exercise balls. Fitness classes are also offered at Crunch. I haven't participated in one yet but Retro-tonics sounds fun. To see what classes are being offered and at what time, you can visit Crunch's website.
I have the Peak membership that permits me access to the hydro-massage bed and tanning booths. After my workout I absolutely have to go on the hydro-massage bed. O. M. G. This massage bed is AWESOME! It's like having a hundred hot tub jet streams massaging your body! You can program the hydro-massage bed to give you a full body massage or to just massage specific areas. The massage lasts for ten minutes. If you decide to use it during peak hours you will have to wait a while as it's quite popular. There are two tanning booths if you prefer to tan instead of waiting for the hydro-massage bed.
Crunch Gym is clean and new and the staff is pleasant. There is a diverse group of people who utilize Crunch, which I really like! Gym membership is also affordable at $10 for a Base membership and $20 for Peak. So far I love working out here!
