Crunch Fitness - Wilkes Barre

I’ve been working out for 10 years. I’ve been to gyms all over the country. Staff acts like you’re interrupting them. They also prefer you use your palm to enter. So, you basically have to give Amazon all your hand biometric data to enter. Or, wait 10 mins for someone to manually check you in. Not to mention. You might go to use the men’s restroom stall but can’t get in because people are using drugs. So, use the bathroom before you go. I cancelled my membership on new years.

My physical trainer, Brooke, is truly awesome at what she does. She has an incredible ability to tailor workouts to my specific needs, ensuring that each session is both challenging and rewarding. Her knowledge of fitness and nutrition is extensive, and she always provides insightful advice that helps me achieve my goals. Her motivational skills are second to none, constantly pushing me to exceed my limits while maintaining a positive and encouraging environment. With her guidance, I've seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall well-being. It's clear that she is passionate about her work, and that dedication shines through in every training session.

From the extremely nice staff to the quality of the equipment this place is by far one of the best gyms in the local area. Every time you sign in most of the staff know you by name and ask you about your day. Phenomenal customer service. There isn’t any lunk alarm in this joint either. They provide a very friendly and positive workout experience in their workout facilities. Most classes are also very inclusive and inviting as well. They’ve even let me lift things up and put them down while I play air bass guitar. There is definitely a sense of a community atmosphere among members as well. Most know each other in person and it’s not long before you’ll find yourself talking to most other gym goers. I highly recommend going to Crunch Fitness for your next workout.

I’ve been a member of this establishment since their launch in the trailer before the gym opened officially and I have to say I am becoming increasingly disappointed in the quality and maintenance of this building. While the staff is nice and friendly, there are machines that have been broken for 2 months now without any reports of upcoming timeframes of their repairs. The gym used to look immaculate when entering, now, it’s poorly maintained, often dusty and dirty and the disinfectant wipe stations are empty more often than full. The female locker room mirror still has not been replaced and many of the female employees have taken the larger and accessible friendly lockers making it extremely difficult to store your belongings.

I enjoy the classes, especially those with Frances, Ruth and Sarah (bike rider). They encourage you to push yourself, assist you with doing the exercises correctly without embarrassing you, make the classes challenging yet fun, switch up the routines so as not to get bored, explain what the exercise is doing for the specific parts of your body. Miss Norma, Miss Charlotte and Ant in the childcare area are super! They nurture the kids, actually play with them and have a way of making them comfortable upon first entering the playroom. It’s clear the child is of utmost importance. The bathrooms/changing areas are clean, tidy and plenty of lockers. Front staff is exceptionally friendly on both arrival and departure.
