Crunch Fitness 4+

a slow and fat fitness app

The good: feature-wise, the app is fun. The rankings with other local gym members, while preserving anonymity, is great. The global challenges are also engaging. It syncs pretty well with Fitbit and Apple Health. The UI is intuitive.

The bad: this thing takes around 30-45 seconds to open from a cold start, and the workouts tab can take another 30-45 seconds to open afterwards. Sometimes, after starting a workout and tracking progress, the app restarts and all progress of the workout is lost. The app crashes after saving a workout, but it does (usually) manage to save the workout.

The ugly: I have had to uninstall+reinstall multiple times because this app eats up storage until the phone runs out. At one point it was using almost 10gb. This makes the app almost unusable at times.

Horrible Manager in SM

i have gone into the crunch fitness in Santa Maria, CA for help for a cancellation and nothing was done till further action. i had tried getting a hold of the manager and she was either busy or out. It came to a point where i had to block them to not receive any payments and still then i was still being charged. i ended up sending the management an email of wanting to cancel and nothing was done until i went in person and the manager was finally there. I expressed my concern about wanting to cancel and she had popped up the email i sent and later into a month later is when she cancelled it. Mind you i was still charged for that period of month of waiting for the cancellation. I now have tried to get my refund back on that period of month of waiting and nothing has been done. The lady asked to forward her the email i sent that i wanted to cancel the membership and i didn’t have it because i deleted it because i didn’t think anything else was going to happen now that i had expressed my concerns about cancelling. i was paying for 3 membership +the charge they add for cleaning the equipments. That’s a total fraud. The lady said that nothing appeared on her screen because due to “a lot” of emails they have. I went in person to ask about it and it was the same excuse. 👎🏽 terrible manager . i believe her name is Araceli or something. Crunch, Find A Better MANGER!!!!

The Staff gave me the wrong information and I paid for it … LITR

signed up February of this year for Crunch Fitness in Murrieta CA. When I joined I was offered a free session for a personal trainer. I took the offer and after which I wanted to start sessions with the trainer. Now the trainer had told me that I would pay as I did the sessions. Now fast forward a few months I have left murrieta and moved to another city. I was still getting charged $420 every month for the personal trainer even though I never paid for any sessions! Now I tried several times to cancel on the Crunch website with no help and getting error 404 messages on the login screen multiple days. Now I called the manager with my dilema and they told me they hadn’t had issues with the website and that there was no chance at a refund even though the actual trainer lied to me and gave me false information. Don’t go here the management is not helpful, the trainers give you false information it seems to me all that it is about is the money. I wish it wasn’t true I was a member we there for many years when I was in high school. And immediate singed back up after returning from the Military there. But I don’t feel comfortable giving my money to a company that showed little empathy or attempted to work with me on their errors of their personal trainers and their website.
