Crunch Fitness - Ancaster

First time joining a training facility like Crunch Fitness and I have to say, what experience it has been. Everything is so clean and it has a lot of equipments.

I love crunch. My favourite gym chain, the Waterdown and Burlington locations are amazing. I was looking forward to trying the Ancaster location as it was a lot closer to home for me. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed, the gym was really dirty, the lockers in change room looked all beaten up, the weight machines were in poor shape, not a single sanitization bottle in sight to clean up the equipment when done, I was there for almost an hour and I’m convinced no one works here as there wasn’t one staff member in sight.If this location would invest in some maintenance and some basic cleaning this gym could have potential.

Very helpful in achieving my goals and diagnosing my pain. Vic is wonderful to deal with and Sherry is always looking out for my best interest.Thanks!

Super friendly staff, always clean, everyone mostly minds their own business, there's a wide variety of machines, and not usually busy. My only complaint is that because it's a smaller space there's not as many of certain equipment so either there's a wait or if they break there's no other option you just have to wait for it to get fixed which usually takes a while.

Nice employees, big space, the gym isn't super high-tech or flashy but still has a ton of machines to use and all the basic equipment, honestly this way everything is more simple.

You pay for what you get. The price is great (I pay $12 a month, with 50 joining fee), but expect a bare minimum experience. They have minimal staff, old, rusty equipment, and relatively clean ablutions. The gym is small, with only one bench-press bench and mostly one of everything in general (except cables and treadmills of course). Things are very run down, with cracked mirrors, static televisions, grindy treadmills, etc. But the essentials work, all the weights and machines are in working condition.My evaluation: On the one hand its not a great gym, but on the other hand their membership fee is very low. So in the end I'm happy with what I get out of my money. Just for anyone considering joining here: Keep your expectations low. This really is a $13 gym.

Not a bad gym at all definitely gets the job done. Can get busy at normal peak times after work/school in that 4-6pm block with a lot of High Schoolers but I rarely go at that time. Weekends aren't too busy.In terms of equipment, a lot of machines so that is good. Only 2 squat racks but I rarely have to wait. Also only 1 bench press, and again usually this is available. The free weight situation can be annoying as sometimes there's only 1 pair of 20lbs or 25lbs for example.The owner has shifted things around so there's plenty of space now so kudos to him. Good amount of cardio machines. Overall change room is kept pretty clean and showers are available.

The air conditioner is broken most often. Today the temp was 77 at 7am, dangerously high for a wok out place

Old and run down.Equipment always out of order which in a small gym is a problem.I workout early mornings, but I wouldn’t want to come at peak times as you would never get on any equipment and it would be far too hot, as the air circulation isn’t great.Also don’t count on it being open at 5.30am.These are pics of the gym, ‘after’ the ‘refurb’.If you can use another location, do so to avoid disappointment.

Looks like they threw the gym together with leftover random weights from thrift stores. Not enough weights for an intermediate lifter to do a good workout. The equipment is falling apart, hole in the wall.Even at $5/month this place is overpriced. The main st location is 1,000x better gym and costs the same! Lots of novice lifters doing bad form and dangerous lifts, only 1 set of dumbbells so you can't get a workout in because people take a set and you're waiting for them to finish.Save your time, go anywhere else. I've gone to gyms for 26 years and this is by far the worst hole in the wall I've seen in my life lol.
