Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Park-slope, New-york

Came here for a quick gym session since I was visiting my gf (I'm normally at the Jersey facility). The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The gym itself was clean and bright. The main floor is all cardio machines, and downstairs has some machines for the chest, back, and legs. The top floor consists of free weights, cables, and benches. All in all, it's a very nice gym and convenient.

Pretty solid gym. I was able to workout as I needed and there is an ample amount of space and equipment. I feel like fellow gym goers are willing to drop gems on different movements if you pay attention, so that might help newer gym goers. The gym itself is pretty clean and I was able to workout everything that I needed to. Keep it going.

Hot water has been out all week at this location. A gym needs a hot shower. They charge an extra "maintenance" fee annually but they seem annoyed that I keep asking when the shower will be fixed.

Way too many cardio machines and too few benches. Only 2 benches for a gym this size is absurd and there's always a line. Lots of the treadmills are broken anyways as the belt slips when running. Again, they should replace them with more benches. They also really need to put curtains in front of the squat rack by the window because it's unusable for much of the evening during peak hours due to the sun. You can see people avoiding that rack. I've told the staff this and they claimed they'd pass it along to management, but nothing has changed.

One of the worst places I have been to, always packed with no no room to actually workout. Went to the locker room to change and found out I was robbed with my lock clipped. My stuff got stolen, staff didnt help and wanted me to pay on top of been robbed a fee to cancel....manager always have an attitude and not helpful at all.

Other Crunches I’ve been to are much nicer than this one. Main issues are with the old/janky equipment and lack of space/machines for strength training. Switched from another gym because I got an exceptional promotional deal. It’s worth at a much-lower-than-normal price, but not at the standard price. There isn’t enough strength equipment for the number of people who go (just 2 bench press machines and about 6 regular benches), and as other reviewers note, everything is old and the machines are often broken or not working properly. The cardio machines are also of inconsistent quality, but there’s enough of them that this isn’t a huge issue. Been to a couple Crunch locations and this is clearly the worst of them.

Apparently, people are not allowed to work out without a shirt. I had surgery and can barely stand having a shirt on. Nor was the manager there to help me, and there was no one at the counter for check in. They have an entire sauna, so it seemed perfectly reasonable, as in any other gym, to have your shirt off, especially when you have to pay over $100 monthly. Nor did they mention this during in-person enrollment. Extremely disappointed and will be waiting for my full refund.

I’ve been a member of crunch for years now, this is by far my favorite location. The people who work here are awesome, so friendly and the place is kept clean. They’ve got a pretty spacious functional fitness area for city standards. & the price is way more affordable than the other gyms in the area while still offering things like sauna, shower products & towels.

It's fine. As other reviews have stated, some shady stuff goes on where they say they sent a letter notifying you of increases in fees but that's not the case. There are sometimes issues with the equipment sticking or not being maintained well (rope attachments super frayed, bathrooms without paper towels, lots of hair and dust in the class rooms), and front desk is very hit or miss. There was a period of time where they clearly paid for fake reviews to boost their score on Google. Good thing is it's a convenient location and they have some great teachers. Never have seen an employee rerack anything and the trainers (not all) will often inconvenience other members (standing in the way, doing a circuit with their customer on 1 of 2 bench press stations for half an hour, using a bench to hold their phone and water) or just demonstrate bad gym etiquette. Lately there's been chalk all over the weights area and several areas of the floor compress down and are a tripping hazard. All in all, it's average, but priced high for the experience. If they brought in a good manager I think it would do wonders for this place.

I’ve been going here for I don’t know how long - seven years at least. Very happy that they’ve added a third bench press - it was much needed! Solid gym. Main criticism is that it’s impossible to sign up for classes, they’re always full.
