Can get crowded, but great equipment and atmosphere. When I joined this gym I looked like McLovin. Now they call me The Rock. -Dwayne Johnson
Clean and orderly. The equipment is clean and In great working order, the staff look the part and are happy to be there. The atmosphere is exactly where it needs to be IOT get your best workout in!
I very much enjoy this location, 3 miles from my home, great equipment, nice clean establishment and great customer service!!!
Enjoyed the visit!!Gave me a proper workout. See you soon!!!
First day today at 5am and it was perfect outside. No drama just workout. Place is great
Best gym I have ever been too because the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Equipment is great, everything you need, and clean.
I have been a Crunch member for a couple of years now. And its safe to say that they have an outstanding staff and trainers that now what they are doing. All of management and staff have been super supportive in ones goals to get in shape and live an overall healthy life style. When I was in my journey to loosing weight, not only was my trainer supportive. But he took the time to make sure I executed all the exercises properly. The other trainers and staff were also supportive during my weight loss journey. And made me feel right at home. Im blessed to be part of the CrunchFamily.
I like going there the people how go there some are regular Joes like me and for the most part almost all people a pretty friendly and considerate
Take a yoga class with Rebecca and you will never complain about anything at this gym. Just being in the same room with her makes you feel like a better person!
Arrrr I love the rope machine matey
Pretty lame. I roll in and say I have a corporate membership. I’m the primary - I pay for tons of memberships for my employees all across the country.She can’t find me. Fine - that’s understandable. I provide the contact info for my corporate representative who handles our accounts. She refuses to contact him and instead ignores me and starts searching for “the club I signed up at”. I didn’t sign up at a club - I dealt with someone at corporate. Calls a club I don’t think I’ve ever even been to to find my “barcode” as I’m calling our corporate rep to handle the situation. Smug. Condescending. A total lack of customer care and service especially for a high value customer. I will consider pulling my corporate membership and switching it to another gym. I don’t even personally attend crunch due to the fact it doesn’t even work exist in the state I live in.Total lack of value for their customer. Weird in fact.
Update in response to Owners comments. They really say nothing of substance; we got bills...our staff do stuff.... etc but - in terms of their were really competitively priced claim - well thats just utter nonsense. they are THE most expensive out of the following:Planet Fitness (free),LA fitness,Golds Gym,YMCA,24 Hour Fitness,Anytime FitnessAND Lifetime fitnessand around $40 MORE per hour than independent trainers. So I am very curious - exactly who are they competitively priced with???So this review is more about their personal training program - which is by far one of the most expensive out there.I went for a consultation which is really just a sales pitch (key tip - just demand the figures or walk - you dont need to be sold a program) in which they try to justify having an extremely high rate for personal training.They have three offers - one half hour session a week, two half hours sessions a week, or three half hour sessions a week. There is NO discount for booking more - you have the exact same EIGHTY SIX dollars an hour rate for each program. Now the average salary for a Crunch Personal trainer according to numerous websites is around 11-25 bucks an hour. So anywhere from 61 to 75 bucks of you money per hour is for something else. I dont think, but Ill stand to be disabused - that this rate includes membership at the gym or sign up fees. So Id be curious as to what that enormous uplift goes to exactly.You can throw a stone anywhere in California and hit a thousand personal trainers charging 20-50 bucks an hour - and if you book multiple sessions with them - they will lower that even further.I hear the gym is awesome - and it looks very basic and not flashy so thats a plus - but as far as personal training goes - it really does need to be an enormous body swerve. For a large chain - Id expect the cost to be - at a MAXIMUM - 40 bucks an HOUR. I work for a law firm and they dont even bill out my legal services at 86.00 bucks an hour!!!
Update: while the gym and its staff are great, I unfortunately have to cancel my membership due to members being unable wear their mask or clean up after themselves. The amount of people who disregard the safety measures puts me in an awkward position. I refuse to endanger my family of first responders, who already risk their lives each day.Thank you staff for trying your best, I do appreciate you.Impressed by the response time and quality of owner. Thank you
I enjoy the workout classes.
Medium-sized gym with everything your going to need for a solid workout. No swimming pool but they do offer fun workout classes, tanning & hydro massage! They also have gym items for sale at the check-in counter and cold beverages available for purchase. Love this gym 💪 because its regularly cleaned and gym machines maintained. The price is also very good for everything you get here!
It’s convenient. Lots of weights and equipment.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have found it, the best fitness center in North County San Diego! The charm of Crunch-Vista is the hometown feel you get when you enter and the fun energy that’s present everyday on the gym floor. The staff understands the intricacies of good customer service by both being friendly greeters and detailed maintainers of the clean environment. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you this gym is remarkably well-kept! There is a surplus of innovative equipment to satisfy any creative idea you have for exercise. There is a seasonally-alternating schedule for group classes that works wonders for making friendships and following a challenging workout. The instructors have great credentials and range in styles from weight training circuits to party-like Zumba classes. For those wondering about the personal training program available, it is the secret sauce! The trainers have superb credentials, and I have enjoyed taking the leap. Train with Josh or Mimi, and you’ll get results you never saw possible! You’ll also experience positive comraderie with members who have a lot of self-respect and a feel of community. Though we walk around with headphones and a running tally in our heads of reps and lifting goals, when you cross paths with someone between the machines there’s often a small acknowledgement that we’re all in it together. That works wonders as the X factor for this gym - the thoughtfulness of Vistans. So, with all that, the No Judgements vibe, and the $25/month price point, this is by far the best gym you can invest your time in. I’ll see you there!
Great gym to lift at qnd has a great weight section on dumbells
Is too hot they never turn the a.c on
Small place with plenty of free weights and deadlift/squat racks for the casual lifter.
It has a great atmosphere and the staff are all really nice. However it would much better if they had a daycare. It makes working out a challenge in its self just to figure out a sitter for my kids. We live in Cali we dont need a tanning bed we need a day care. Pass on the word. Id be willing to pay more if we could get one
Friendly staff members and nice gym. They have a fun obstacle set up too. Just very crowded in the evenings :( luckily I dont workout at that time. I love going here compared to LA Fitness or 24hr. You get the family vibe without all the meat heads
Great workoutgreat equipment
So amazing!!! Brand new!A great deal!Olympic platformKickboxing bagsMonkey barsTurf to sprint on...all the normal stuff.Staff is friendly and upbeat.Cant wait for the classes
Love going to this place. I hated going to gyms, and was pushed into this by a buddy of mine. Im glad he did, this place is amazing. Never felt any pressure or anything negative. Good place for us introverts
My husband and I joined the Crunch Fitness in Vista last month. Best money spent!!! We both have personal trainers, that are awesome. I work with Tony Arredondo and my husband works with Berto Martinez 3 days a week. Both of them are top notch and very knowledgeable. I have had gym memberships in the past that were adequate, but Crunch Fitness stands at the top. You are always greeted with a smile and hello😊 The equipment and machines are always clean and in working order. I would definitely recommend Crunch Fitness to family & friends!
Do go here they don’t care about customers, cancelled during COVID and gyms where closes and stiles charged an annual fee
Incredibly good prices, super friendly staff, clean facility, rarely ever crowded, lots of squat racks, big functional fitness area.If I had to nitpick I would say I wish they had paper towels in the bathroom, but hey Im all for going green with the hand dryers. Plus the pins colada scented soap is awesome.I did trial membership at every gym in the area. This place blows them all out of the water. Especially for the low price.
I had cancelled and still was charged annual fee. It’s a small gym and always crowded,,
Super cheap, but super nice for lifters. Bummer no sauna though. Trainers are actually very good and are as good as any working for a high end club.
Was droping off a friend. Decided to go and have a look around. Staff was friendly and and I spoke with an instructor behind the scene. He thought physical therapy session would be better for me first due to a medical condition. Then when core is even a little better to come back. My insurance plan was not accepted by them. But I will return. Will be quite a while 😔
Horrible place they are disorganized and charge fee after you cancelled. I paid a year and cancelled and still was charged annual fee
Very close to me. I Like the way the gym is situated unlike the San Marcos location. Clean. Nice people. Inspiring. Awesome.Thank you Crunch for the Vista location!
Recently upgraded and updated. Nice place. Parking lot can get full. Best to go in mornings before 1030 am or after 1 pm.
No crowds every time Ive been. Chill and not an intimidating place at all. Pictures on the side of machines on how to use them. I told my hesitant sister its like Disneyland with a bunch of rides, but for adults. :P
Cant believe Im saying this but this $10 a month gym is the best gym Ive ever belonged to outside of Lifetime which isnt in SD and is $150 a month. Extremely clean and they have real weights! Theres a huge newbie fitness scene there which is so relaxing to workout without any judgements or gym rats. They have absolutely everything you need with no fluff. I worked in the fitness industry for years and this gym should literally be a model platform. If youre super buff or have a visible ego... youll be the one that feels out-of place here. Ultra low crowds and a friendly staff make this the best gym in SD county, hands down.
The best...
I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF CRUNCH AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS. 5 EXACT. VISITED MANY. TRISH MANAGER AT VISTA HAS EXCELLED ABOVE ALL LOCATIONS. AND PROUD TO SAY, SHE IS ALSO AN FRANCHISE OWNER OF SEVERAL LOCATIONS. AND PEOPLE SAY OWNERS DONT WORK HARD, THEY DONT NO TRISH. SHE HAS ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF ANY PROBLEMS IVE HAD, AND I ALWAYS THAUGHT, SHE WAS JUST A MANAGER. SHE IS GREAT SO IS CRUNCH. FREDDIE BRITT FROM KILGORE TX
5am-6:30am the best time. Clean facilities staff always cheerful and ready to assist Sunday person needs to be on time!! Thanks
Okay to workout customer service is good except for one person big tall guy must have been his five minutes of the day yet I would tell everybody to go visit. This Gym
Staff is very friendly and the place is always clean. Some of the treadmills have problems but there are plenty of others. Some of the machines are limited so you have to wait sometimes; those usually include the ones that arent that popular. Plenty of weights and there is often a classes occuring, so if youre interested in that, im sure you can ask for information.
Itgood
Only been to this location (vista). Gym is a proper size. Everything from the equipment to the bathrooms and lockers are maintained well. Gym was not over crowded during my visit. Staff was actually helpful and presented knowledge of the facility. Prices are affordable and fair value. They have a lot to offer to the average user and seasonal athlete, (free weights, assisted weights, olympic weights, kickboxing bags, monkey bars, cardiovascular sessions, standard equipment, etc... ) Overall this place is a great value and nothing is too costly for your own health assurance. Highly recommend unless you require other training amenities like a sauna, pool or racket ball. They do offer Tanning Beds, Hydromassage Beds, Online Nutrition and either one on one training or group training sessions depending on your desired level of membership.
This gym is chill. Dont get me wrong there are alot of beautiful very defined people at this gym, but they are not superficial, and judgemental. Or they are good enough actors to not give off that feeling. Either way is cool with me. This is one in a few gyms that makes everyone feel comfortable rather you are a bum, a businessman, a professional body builder, or a newby to the gym. This is my 2nd favorite crunch in all of San Diego county.
Crew members are so nice.
Most horrible service Ive ever received! They are just or to get any bit of money they can from you and its just a bunch of salespeople running the place, nobody that actually knows something about fitness. They are shady and dont tell you all the hidden fees until after youve given them all your money. Do not waste your time or money!!
Absolutely LOVE this gym! It never gets too full and has all of the equipment I need and more. It isnt your typical gym they have everything plus some crossfit and TRX type of options which I love. Highly recommend the trainers as well, especially Berto!
The owner Steve is very helpful in resolving issues. Convenient prices, good selection of equipment, and friendly front of house staff.
Beginner friendly but if you like going beast mode, this is the place as well 💪
Bad place always full and not enough equipment
Good clean place, gets a little packed during the evening..
The staff are really nice and its a great place to workout ! Its close from where Im at and very inspiring.
Love the classes..the facilities are very clean.. MUCH better than 24 hr Fitnesss!!
Super clean and the staff if way friendly! Love all their classes too especially the small group bootcamps!
Great place to workout and I also find parking too!
The staff here is very friendly it always feels good to walk in and see a bunch of smiling faces 😁
Awesome staff, clean environment, and pretty cheap prices.
Great gym bang for your buck
Have no idea why someone would give this place less than a 3 star rating. Best gym ive had a membership with by FAR! Pricing is reasonable, equipment is kept clean and in perfect working order, a variety of classes are available, and the facilities (locker room and bathrooms) are always kept clean and neat. All employees are professional and very friendly, some even recongize me because im there 6 days a week. No complaints here!
Great local gym thats not too packed compared to other places
Great gym environment. Not too dark, but not too distracting. The staff here are superb. Highlights: weightlifting platform, 2 squat racks, a smith machine variant with 2 axis and no spring asist, (currently) 3 extra bars, two large multipurpose stations with rack attatchments, a turf section, and two sleds. Other equip includes kettlebells, 3 types of medicine balls, trx, 6 punching bags, 2 sets of boxes that total 5 ft each, and battle ropes. Not too many machines, but the place is geared well if you know some of the many workouts that only require that other stuff. The San Marcos and Winchester locations are larger with many more targeted machines, which a younger me would have loved, but the Vista location doesnt need that noise because its much more flexible and has the more important equipment.Powerlifter/weightlifter friendly. Platform comes with bumper plates rated in kg. 25kg (x2), 20kg (x6), 15kg (x2), 10kg (x2), 5kg (x2), 2.5kg (x2). Theres more bumpers in the multipurpose station, but rated in lbs. Theres 3 deadlift/weightlifting bars (more whip, deeper knurling, and no center knurl). Use of chalk (powder) is ambiguous. Theres no signs, but depending on the staff, some overlook it. On the other hand Ive heard of some people getting told to put it away. Chalk comes off the platform pretty easily, like when I stomp it out. Liquid chalk/chalk lotion is a win-win for you and the staff.First station has 4 punching bags, 2 power racks, one T bar, pullup bars all around, medicine ball target, and monkey bars that start horizontal then ascend 45 degrees. Attachments include a dip bar, trx(s) and step.The other station is a staircase. The pillars and cross sections underneath supporting it double as power racks, monkey bars, and pull up bars. Has a medicine ball target and 2 punching bags. Attatchments include dip bar, step, and trx.
Clean and well maintained. Good price, good hours.
Spacious and great place to workout.
Always met with a smile and hello.
When r u guys having an special offer ?
Great variety of machines and its never too crowded.
Everybody is so informative and friendly.
I’ve lost 20lbs so far, thanks to them!
Best gym Ive found in years
Liked the setup and well maintained gym
Hate the way they didnt cancel my card membership when they lied and said they did 69 dollars is what they took out of my account
Friendly staff. Modern equipment
The right kind of gym
They dont take the time to serve the new clients asking questions they make me wait about 20 min on the desk
The front desk employee, manager, and owner kicked out a member for having her service dog, Olie, in their facility. They claim they can “refuse service to anyone.”
Great 👍👍💪💪
Equipment for every training style, weights lifting & fitness.
Price is great and location is convenient.
Great place !
To much people smell bad .
My fitness has crunched
I am disappointed with the place.
Good place for workout
Great atmosphere!!!
Its ok
Love the classes
Would Recommend
Very clean.
Awesome gym!!!!
Get yours...
A good gym is large and very complete, I trained in that gym for a month when I went on vacation to those cities and I liked it, there are good trainers and many machines, changing rooms, showers I think there are some of those around the world, something like that, but they are very good and large, also very accessible, I highly recommend them, I think there is one of CR7 GOAT in Spain
Waoo a perfect place to be exercise a good atmosphere and a lot of kindness
