Crunch Fitness $99 for 1 year

Interesting approach in BC where they put the clubs in the far out burbs.

Been a member for the past year. Not the best fitness club. You get what you pay for. In the GTA the only good club is at yongue and Gerrard. The club in whitby isn’t the greatest and barely has any lockers. Equipment is ok but layout is not the greatest. My membership is expiring on Dec 31st and I will be going back to Goodlife.

The basic membership is good if you are ok with only attending 1 club and your happy with that one club.

Keep in mind that they also have corporate memberships so you may want to check with your employer. The generic corporate plan is all inclusive including bring a friend and access to all clubs for $299 plus taxes. Also with the corporate membership you don’t pay any processing or annual fees.

Saw the same deal around Black Friday and in addition to this deal, Peak results (multi gym access) was available for $199+processing fees+tax. I signed-up for peak results. My local gym has the same promo (without annual fees) until Dec 31st.

Looks like no annual fee on this deal..

Annual Price $99.00
Annual membership dues are paid in full at the time of purchase.

Processing Fee $19.95
A one-time charge for the expenses related to establishing an individual’s membership.

Subtotal $118.95
Tax $15.46
TOTAL DUE Today $134.41

There will be a $42 maintenance fee, once a year if this is the Suterbrook location in BC.

Crunch is associated with Steve Nash as written in the contract, i had bad experiences with them in the past so i decided not to sign anything with Crunch.
Despite them telling me that they're still separate companies. Yea duh, but i don't want to give another dime to a company that is associated with Steve Nash gym in any way.

They're also very aggressive trying to get you to sign up for their $20+/mo gym memberships, even after telling them I'm only interested in the base plan numerous times.

I was just going to join on-line.

Don't see any additional charges. This is the Burloak location in Burlington ON.

You should ask just to make sure because they lied to me saying that there isn't any fees as well. Until I specifically confirmed if that means they won't have any of those annual maintenance fees most gyms have, and then that's when they said ohhhh ya we do

Anyone have any experience cancelling with them as well? I'm extra leary when it comes to gyms because it seems there's always horror stores about extra charges or they continue to charge after you cancel and it's hard to actually cancel. I was looking at the yearly one... Seems a good deal at $100... Wonder if there's an automatic yearly renewal on that one.

If this gym is associated with Steve Nash then there's no way in hell I'm contributing a dime to this sleezy company again.

In addition to having sleezy sales practices, they also have sleezy marketing practices. They spam me frequently without an option to opt-out of their email. Your only option is to flag it as spam. This is a clear violation of Canadian anti-spam laws.

there is no additional charges other than what you see online. I joined at this price last year and also rejoined again this year and there was no additional maintenance fee.

for $133 a year its hard to go wrong as long as you dont need any of the extras that you pay for at other gyms

this yearly membership automatically cancels at the end of the year - does not automatically renew so you will have to rejoin again if you want to continue

Excellent, thank you so much!... I'll likely join tomorrow then.

Is it a clean gym? Is the equipment well maintained? How are the people that go there - any troublemakers? Are the hours of operation good?

Crunch in Kitchener used to be World Gym, and I was there for years. Dropped the membership to 10 bucks a month, and you couldn't even find a parking spot . Equipment would sit broken for months. They also cut out all of the frills you used to get, towels, etc. Got run down and silly quickly.

I visited Burloak and it's very clean and new looking.

I really don't see a lot of risk here so I'm going to join. Thanks for the input. I didn't see anything suspicious looking at all for the one year prepaid.

One location closed down in Edmonton Westmount due to unpaid rent:

Unpaid rent couple months ago at the Jasper Ave location:

Had a couple of friends that went to crunch, equipment broken for months, dirty change rooms, and the north town location that was supposed to open last year is still empty. Better off at goodlife or fit4less.

Same with West Hamilton by Mac

Personally I go to the Crunch in downtown Hamilton and it's great. I have no complaints with the place and it's not usually super packed. At that price, it's a great deal. Definitely better than the Goodlife in the same mall area. All really depends on the location.

What's wrong with Steve Nash?
