Crunch Fitness - Appleton — Local services in Appleton

Great gym!! You will get shredded, have tons of entertainment options, plenty of equipment, great price, and a fun grab bag of all sorts of individuals in the gym! Pros: Great price. The price on a gym of this caliber is fantastic! It shocks me actually that it isn't more packed here. Cleanliness. I've not seen a gym so immaculate. They do a great job keeping it clean and inviting! Equipment! Great equipment, a machine for everything! Even at peak hours it does not feel like you couldn't do something. Classes! While I do not participate in classes, it seems like they have something for everyone. Cons: There are no cons to this gym. I've been to so many gyms over the years, this is by far the best compared to YMCAs, Gold's Gym, the 24 hours centers, and local high schools. The Cast of Characters! This gym is simply great gym entertainment. Enjoy the ride! A lot of great bodies here. Many seasoned veterans here that know what is going on in the gym and proper etiquette, how to behave, and clearly have been working since high school. Men and women. Gym n00bs. So many!! You will see curls or sit-ups in the squat rack. You will see guys using the bench press as a table to hold their dumbbells or even just their phone as they are doing something else. You will see guys actually sitting on the dumbbell rack watching their gym partner do an exercise while wearing crocs. Don't get upset, don't approach. Just enjoy the show. Gym characters. Some people will talk to themselves, some people will run around and punch all the punching bags, some have no idea how to use equipment, I think I saw someone wearing all leather and high heeled boots. Good stuff!! This could be a pro or a con. This place is fit chick central. Women wearing barely any clothing. Often times wearing a sweater/shirt only to take it off and put it on 5x during their workout. They curl the 5s, squat the 10s, and can not lift any real weight. They are there purely for attention. There is a fitness trend going on right now. BEWARE. If there is a place in Appleton that is ripe for these faux lifters on social media, this is it.

I can’t begin to describe how wonderful my experience at Crunch Fitness Appleton was. I travel extensively, I’ve been to Crunch’s in probably 30+ states, in every corner of the country. This location has been one of the most impressive. Beginning with the front desk, I was greeted by Daphne from afar, who noticed me walking in the background with my head down, headphones in and burnt out after a long stressful day and I didn’t want really want to workout but she greeted me with a smile and said “have a good workout!”

It was such a small gesture but it immediately broke the built up stress I walked in with and changed my mood entirely. Daphne has a wonderful personality and a genuine love for people which was noticeable immediately.

Throughout my workout I was impressed by how clean and tidy the entire gym was, and stepping into the locker room I was taken back by how clean it was. The floors were pristine, the showers were clean — even in the corners!! (Details matter, and Appleton Crunch most definitely cares about them)

This experience is coming off the back of a horrible Crunch experience I had down in south Texas, a location that was dirty, neglected, and completely turned off my desire to continue my workout.

Huge thinks to the entire staff, the cleaning crew and the front desk - I hope the crew sees this review and understand that although their jobs may seem unimportant — they directly impact people like myself and make me want to...

I LOVE Crunch! After trying other gyms in the area upon moving here, a friend told me about Crunch. I used my guest pass and was always greeted warmly and thanked by staff for coming. The gym is very clean, large, offers all amenities, equipment and classes you could want. Not to mention tanning and the HydroTherapy bed is fantastic! My Kick Start session with Trevor after joining was super informative and helpful. Special thanks to Letty and Derek for answering all my questions. Oh, and the membership prices are GREAT, very affordable and never any contracts or pressure to upgrade. Highly recommend! It's free to try so what do you have to lose (besides saggy muscles and a few pounds if you're like me 😁). Update: It's been 10 months since my initial review when I first joined Crunch. I can honestly say I feel like part of the Appleton "Crunch family" now. I actually look forward to going and seeing the workers, who are always so fun and friendly, always say "Hi", "Have a good workout", "How's your day going?", make me feel acknowledged and appreciated. The gym members are also friendly and respectful. SO GLAD I...
