Crunch

I left this gym. I now go to Retro. Ok so I prefer crunch but it was WAY to crowded. Nearly anytime you went (except early on a Saturday when the rest of Hoboken is recovering from the night before) you couldn’t get a bench, the weight you want, or any treadmill. You can’t do anything because there are people literally everywhere so you are always saying «excuse me «sorry». There would also be like a 5 – 10 person line for the showers or bathrooms. UGH They did upgrade all the cardio but it wasn’t enough to keep me especially since Retro is like ¼ the amount of people.

This place is the worst. They are the most expensive gym in town, but their equipment is often broken, the tvs on the treadmills often don’t work, and the child care hours were recently cut in half (but they still charge you $ 40 per month for it). This place is cutting corners to save pennies and it’s going downhill fast. Save yourself the aggravation and money, and join a different gym in town. Consider yourself warned.

Love this gym– clean, great amenities, perfect running route outside the gym, great staff. Highly recommended

Best gym hands down in Hoboken !! They have all new equipment and a brand new spin room. Unlike the other gyms they offer many diff classes yoga, Zumba and even strength training classes taught by their personal trainers. This gym has anything you need for all the different types of fitness styles (for both men and women), doesn’t just limit to one.

I used to belong to Equinox and this place is as good if not better for less than half of the money. No brainer. I signed up over the phone and when I went in for the first time, the head of the memberships. Tom, sought me out to say hello — he said he didn’t recognize me so I must be Amanda. I complimented the gym and he said they were replacing all of the cardio in the next month with all brand new machines — they looked pretty good to me! And they have a new state of the art cycling studio and a great group class studio. Classes are really good in terms of selection and time as well.
When I first walked in, Renee who is the assistant head fitness trainer welcomed me (the check in staff didn’t — and seemed confused when I asked her to show me where everything was, although she did end up doing that — mostly by pointing) and said she was glad I was here and to get set up with a free training session right away. She personally reached out to me after I left to set it up.
The locker room was immaculate and the Bliss products are great. Razors are provided along with towels and hair dryers — the basics.
Overall this place is awesome and I would HIGHLY recommend it.

The setup to the new spinning studio is nice but I prefer the Spinning brand bikes to the Schwinn. The Schwinn bikes feel like they are going to break apart. My issue with the gym is the cardio equipment. There are at least 2 treadmills broken all of the time. The stairmaster machines are at least 10 years old and they break every day. At one point, 5 of the 7 stairmaster machines were not working. I was told by a maintenance guy that they won’t fix one of them because it’s cheaper to just buy a new one… Soooo buy a new one. I was told that new cardio equipment is on it’s way. That was 2 months ago and it’s still not there. With all of the other $ 20 gyms in the neighborhood (e.g. New York sports club) Crunch cost too much to have broken equipment on a regular basis.

The new spinning studio is awesome!!! Brand new cardio equipment coming soon! This gym has it all! Free Wi-​Fi and great classes and instructors. Staff is helpful and everything is clean. Definitely check it out.

Love it here. Great classes, great instructors. Awesome facilities, feel like I’m chilling in a spa, o snaps.

I watched the salesperson offer my friends a lower rate than I am paying. When he realized his mistake he tried to make it into a joke instead of rewarding me for bringing in 2 possible new members. The whole place has been under construction for months and is not worth the money with all of the other options in the area. Giant NO.

Just joined and got a great sign up deal from Collin. Very knowledgeable staff and awesome gym. Over $ 200,000 of brand new equipment and its never too packed. Easily the nicest gym in town.

I joined when it was about to turn into crunch so it was still club H. Some of the classes were excellent and challenging, like the kettlebell class. However, crunch kept making changes every month and started getting rid of these classes and replacing with ridiculous ones… Like a surfboard class. Gym itself is nice but crowded during the hours we can actually workout. Needless to say I am no longer a member. FYI you need to give them 1 month notice and must move to where there is no crunch gym near where you are moving to.

I’ve been a happy member for 2 months now.
The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.
I signed up for a few training sessions and it’s been very helpful. Freddie is very knowledgable and has given me challenging work outs that I have been able to work into my routine.
The women’s locker room is beautiful, and the complimentary Bliss products are a nice touch. I will say that the steam room has been out of order several times, which has been annoying. It’s back up and running within a few days each time though. Also the showers could be cleaned a bit more often, but overall it’s very well maintained.
The morning are busy in this gym, but I’ve never not been able to work out.
One if the best things are the high ceilings, openness and the view of the Hudson!
Highly recommended!

Took a tour recently. Wow. This gym is expensive. It would cost north of $ 80 after taxes per month. There are better options for those of us who only want the treadmills and some light weight work…

I’m trying to become more motivated and comfortable in a gym, and I think this is the one. The teachers are incredible, the classes show results every time (LOVE SPIN!), and everything is clean! Today, I did a personal training session with Mike, and he was the man! Very personable and absolutely knew his stuff.
High five, Crunch Hoboken!

I’ve been an extremely happy member for 4 months now. It’s disappointing to see such terrible reviews for this gym. Many of them seem like they’re more about the former Club H than Crunch.
The gym is very inviting. There is plenty of equipment and even more coming in after the renovation. I love the classes and the facilities including the free bliss products. But most of all, Crunch has the most attentive and enthusiastic staff. Xio and Colin are two friendly faces always available to help. The personal trainers are incredibly knowledgeable. Two of my friends and I have trainers and we never have anything less than the best things to say about them.
Marlon had been my trainer for three months. It’s incredible how much he knows about the human body, how muscles are impacted by various exercises, and how to hone each muscle to achieve specific movements. He specializes in weight training and was also able to help me with my boxing technique. It’s crazy to see that within the first month, I had gone from lifting no weight to dead lifting 1.5 times my body weight. Even though my sessions have ended, he supplied me with a program to follow so I can continue my training without him. He also made himself available if I had any questions. His knowledge in the field is vast. I’d recommend Marlon to anyone regardless to end goal.
Tom, with his experience in the army, has been instrumental in my friend’s transformation. He has helped her with nutrition and endurance training. Rob E, who also teaches a very lively spin class, is also a great and very experienced trainer. He is very approachable and helped one of my friends lose a considerable about of weight.
It’s evident the staff’s passion translates to the members here. People are here to get a good work out and that’s exactly what happens.

I just joined Crunch after belonging to Planet Fitness for the past 9 months. Needless to say, this gym is WORLDS better than PF. Honestly, all if took for me to join was to walk in — the facility is beautiful with mostly brand new machines. There is plenty of room for lifting, abs, and stretching. I have taken the following classes: «Surfset,» «Ass & Abs,» and spin and have been extremely impressed with each one. The «Hoist» machines are amazing and offer a unique take on the usual machines for leg press, chest press, lat pull, etc. Additionally, the gym’s app makes it really easy to sign up for classes or cancel previous class reservations. The locker room and bathroom are brand new with Bliss products and are very clean/​well-​maintained. Additionally, the gym is never too crowded, even at peak hours (unlike PF where you’ll wait 30 minutes while people idle/​eat pizza/​talk on the phone while on machines). I highly suggest this gym for any Hoboken resident!

Would be 0 stars if possible! This place is the worst. Sold everyone on free parking and then took it away with no warning. Then asked for updates and never heard anything… so I emailed the manager and his response was «no update» sent from his iphone. Beyond rude. So I told them to freeze my membership and now they just charged my card $ 29.99 freezing free without saying a word.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Joined and then 3 weeks later they no longer paid for parking. Just disappointed in their professionalism. Left for BASE in Jersey City.

By far the worst service I have ever received at a gym in my life. I think the center of the rudeness was one of the sales associates «Colin.» Honestly, who tries to sell a gym membership by telling you that «you don’t know what you’re doing. You need a trainer»? He immediately tries to belittle your «fitness intelligence». It’s not like I’m the first person he’s done this to. I’ve heard countless people receive the same inconsiderate speeches. Even during my guest trial, all the trainers were trying to sell themselves to me, as if I wanted a trainer. They kept stopping me and saying, «hey I could show you something that works even better.» I DONT CARE. Bottom line, if you’re not buying training, they don’t care. I would never write a review in any establishment, because I find it pointless, but I had to do it this once. Don’t go to this gym if you’re looking for a gym that people will leave you be and not judge you.

I belonged to this gym when it was Club H for the past year and a half. My boyfriend joined with me and broke his hand so he had to cancel his membership. We both had the month to month membership so we wouldn’t be stuck in a gym contract. Once it became CRUNCH on Jan. 1^st, I was wrong. Somehow Crunch decided to sign him back up and charge him over $ 100 for this February after him not having a membership for over 3 months. I went and explained the situation– the manager didn’t care and still charged. He said he didn’t have the Club H information. I do not recommend this gym because you will get fees and extra charges and stuck in a membership! I quit on Feb. 3^rd so I assumed a 30 day notice which is what my contract says would suffice, I have to pay until April 1^st.
