Crunch - Aurora

I have been a member at all of the major gyms but enjoyed my time at Crunch Fitness more than larger facilities. Everything was well maintained and the equipment was very nice and new. Had everything you need to reach your fitness goals.

Locker rooms are well lighted and clean. Staff is friendly and have good knowledge. I like the idea of having automatic dispensing water to fill up your own bottles. It is filtered and the area is clean. There is huge scope of improvement with lights on main floor. Main floor seems bit dark and low on light. Zumba area should have doors so that people running on treadmill can listen to their own music. Most of the times I end up running on the beats of Zumba music ;)

Beware!!! If you are planning to join Crunch DO NOT let them auto debit from your account AND if you are a current member with auto debit, check your bank statements. This Crunch location has been withdrawing more than agreed from my account for months. They credit you back only to take more money. I've actually cancelled my membership with them and it's still occurring! This is illegal. I've called and emailed everyday. When they do respond it's always they are looking into it. If this does not resolve soon my next course of action may need to be legal. Very disappointed in the way this is being handled from local management!! Beware!!!

Pretty happy with this gym for its location and for the price. I've been going here since a month after their opening and I can safely call this gym my second home. TL;DR: the facilities are clean and pretty well-managed, but the gym gets a little busy at peak times and availability of machines and cleanliness suffer as a result. It's a great place however, and should suit many customers effectively. Here's a run-down from my ~1.5 years here: The locker rooms are clean and well lit, but sometimes I find that the scale doesn't work or I'll find that the soap dispensers are in the middle of being refilled and are not operational. That's not too much of an issue for me, but it happens. The main gym is pretty good, all of the equipment is new/relatively new. There will be a few machines here and there that are out of service, but that's expected. Mirrors surround the entirety of the East-facing wall of the gym, with the exception of the very right-hand side where an emergency exit door doesn't allow the squat rack users for an immediate side view of their form. You have to step back a bit to see yourself over there. There are a plethora of machines, I'd say around half of the gym, devoted to cardio. A quarter of the area are strength machines, and the remaining quarter are bench/olympic squat racks and free weights. I wish they had a larger devotion to the latter since the area does fill up during peak hours and many of the benches can get filled up pretty quickly. The dance room of the gym is spacious, and the equipment is moderately clean. Exercise mats, dumbells, and half-stability balls are available in a backroom. The exercise mats tend to have a thin layer of residual sweat, but that's expected, so make sure to bring your own mats if you're planning on taking any Zumba classes or anything of the like. You're allowed to go into the dance room during off-hours when no lessons are in place, but you're not allowed to use the aux and speakers in the room. From what I can hear during my workouts, those speakers can get pretty loud during lessons. Crunch also has a hydro-massaging and tanning bed area available for higher-membership members. I've never personally been in there, so I can't vouch for the quality of those. Finally, availability of the gym is pretty ok, but make sure you pay attention to their Friday-Sunday hours. They close earlier and open later during those days. I go very early (5am) during the weekdays and fairly early (7am) during the weekends, so the hours correspond to what I need, but make sure they work for you.
