Don't believe all these fake reviews that suddenly showed up during open week during September 15-19. Here is what you need to know: This gym closes early on Fridays, and is closed DURING THE DAY on Saturdays, and their hours on these two days will often change during the year due to owner's religious beliefs to coincide with the sunset times on these two days. Serious gym bros like to train on Friday nights after work and on Saturdays DURING THE DAY. Training late evening on Saturday nights is for losers.
And as a result of these hour changes, this gym gets PACKED on Sundays when it used to not be, it gets packed during the week because members are trying to make up that lost Saturday they didn't work out, and a lot of them PACK UP Crunch Pharr during the day on Saturdays.
Just cancel your membership if you don't like Saturday hours. There are OTHER GYMS in the nearby area that are OPEN DURING THE DAY on Saturdays. Why do you need to come to THIS GYM IN PARTICULAR? Anyone saying they choose this gym for the "location" - Gold's Gym is right down the street. So is TruFit. Other gyms are nearby. The "location" excuse is a poor excuse.
The people running their social media disable comments after announcing their new hours. Band together and cancel rather than continuing to give them your money and whining. Unfortunately, we have too many stupid people here that are willing to SETTLE FOR LESS.
There is a review here that says this gym is open 24 hours. This gym is NOT open 24 hours. This gym closes at 7:30PM on Fridays and re-opens at 8PM on Saturdays evenings. This gym USED TO close at 10PM on Fridays and would open at 7AM on Saturdays and close at 8PM.
The new hours are due to the owner's "religious beliefs", where work is traditionally prohibited from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.
Gym members usually wouldn't start packing the place on Friday evenings until past 6PM. Now that this gym closes at 7PM on Fridays, the new hours are inconvenient for members. A lot of them also want to train DURING THE DAY on Saturdays; not in the evenings or at night. The new hours resulted in Sundays being more crowded, when Sundays used to be slower before noon. This also resulted in Friday early evenings becoming more crowded and Edinburg members going to Crunch Pharr during the day on Saturdays, resulting in THAT gym becoming...
Read moreMy boyfriend has been going to crunch for almost a 2 years and has always told me he’s had great experiences going. He wanted me to try out crunch to see If maybe I would like to get a gym membership there and told me that there was a 7 day free trial I could do just to see And try it out for my self. I agreed and upon arrival the front desk lady was super rude to me and told me that “there’s no such thing as a 7 day free trial that it’s only 3 day trial” which I was totally okay with it being only 3 days but it was very complicated for me to even receive the “3 day” membership so my boyfriend was just like don’t worry let’s just pay for it and I just gave in and agreed. So I proceed to pay for my 35$ membership and through the whole process she just looked very annoyed with me and as soon as we were about to start our work out she told me and my boyfriend we were not allowed to wear crocs! And my boyfriend told her I always wear crocs and sometimes I just wear socks for better grounding and she said “it’s because last time I was supposed to tell you but you had already left” for me I’ve been to other gyms and have had no problem wearing crocs to the gym and even socks ! My boyfriend was extremely upset and said let’s just leave and cancel the membership so I cancelled the very same day!! Unfortunately my boyfriend was not able to cancel his membership because she said that since he made it at another gym he would have to go in person!!! And he told her well I wouldn’t be Able to do that because I no longer work in midland texas where He got his membership and she proceeded to say “well there’s nothing we can do”mind you this at 8:000pm so we couldn’t get ahold of any other managers but we will be speaking to the general manager a 3:00pm tomorrow. We went to golds gym right next door and they were super nice very understanding we told them about our horrible experience and they told us since I had cancelled my membership they were able to give me a one month free pass and they gave me a free protein shake!! Super AWSOME staff highly recommended!!ALSO** the girls name was jeveyah I believe that was her name she had black hair and blue eyes but they looked like contacts so I...
Read moreLeaving honest feedback bc I don’t need a free Alani 🙄 Lately, women staff, most afternoon male staff, and cleaning crew are great! They’re the reason I’m not leaving 1 star.
However, go at night and staff can be rude IF they pay attention to you at all. They’re great friends with a cliquey bunch of 3 guys (one guy with a ponytail) who berate you or tell you to get away from equipment they were “reserving” for their buddies. They’re extremely loud and can be heard from far away even with noise cancelling headphones. They’ll be in the gym for at least 2 hours hogging machines and socializing and you can’t say anything bc they’re friends with staff. It’s definitely not comfortable or judgement free when you actively have to do your best to stay away from men like that in a gym environment.
The gym is also so dirty on the weekends and at nights. The paper towel dispensers usually don’t have paper towels or liquid but only on weekends. It doesn’t bother me that staff doesn’t greet or say goodbye, but they sometimes even look at you as an inconvenience. I wish I could stick to daytime hours but due to my work schedule, I can’t. It’s not the staffs fault they’re not paid enough to care. I’ve seen what they pay and honestly feel bad for the employees.
I also had an uncomfortable interaction with a personal trainer who was supposed to do my body scan but ended up trying to sell me personal training over the phone before I even went in for the body scan. I couldn’t get the yearly body scan without promising I was willing to consider buying personal training sessions. It’s uncomfortable and frustrating. The yearly body scan is supposed to be a perk for the second tier of membership but we can’t get it without being guilted into purchasing personal training sessions. I try to be positive about coming to the gym but there’s very little to be positive about when it comes to Crunch Edinburg.
Also, they claim to be open 24/7 and that is false advertisement. Friday night to Saturday night is closed because of the owner’s...
