Crunch Fitness - Malden

I have been going to this gym for two years and it is a solid gym in a good location. There is plenty of equipment and it has a great layout. The spacious studio is especially a plus. The staff is helpful and Laura in particular is a great personal trainer who always makes me feel welcome. Alex, at the front desk is also very kind and has helped me on several occasions. The gym can get very busy and it's worth going earlier in the morning.

Ok so I had no issues with this gym. Until the classes. I'm gonna be honest i don't want to be removed from the heavy bags or excluded from using them just so your trainer can meet their class quota. Also I don't want to schedule my gym session so that I have to avoid these classes.

This Crunch has the most ideal layout. While warming up from the stair master I was able to plan my route for the workout as this was my first visit. The bathrooms were spacious and ok clean. The staff was super friendly and chill. There's plenty of equipment variety. The only Con was the gym members. It was very obvious they don't follow the typical gym courtesies. One of the members attempted to take 2 plates of 10lbs as I was actively using them and there were plenty of others near him. Many other members had strong body odor. Way more than usual. I wouldn't mind returning, but I will try to visit at a different time. It was very surprising how full this gym was at 10am on a Wednesday. Another note, there was an abdominal section. This was very unique as I didn't have to look for space. Huge plus!

Vania, the manager in Malden, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been to many other gyms and this gym ranks number 1 among them. They have top class machines as well as a handful of machines I have never seen before that have proven very effective.

I recently signed up with one of the personal trainers Laura. She was so welcoming as soon as I walked in and signed me up for a kick off training session with her. I liked that we were able to talk and get to know each other a bit. To give her a sense of what my goals were to set up a plan and reach them together. I look forward to my sessions with her because she pushes me and motivates me to work harder and stay consistent. (And not skip meals, lol)
