Crunch Fitness - Channelside

Big Z is the best!! I’ve always been had anxiety to go and sign up in a gym but when I came into crunch today, Big Z was so helpful and accommodating, he patiently explained to me all the things Crunch has to offer. Big Z even left his busy work desk when he saw me struggling on how to use one of the machines and came over and showed me how to use it. Thank you Big Z you helped me more than you know.

Love this location! The staff is always so friendly and willing to help. They have every machine you can think of as well as a wellness center with a sauna and showers. Pro tip: this location is very popular so just make sure to plan your workouts in advance! They also have training sessions available for any budget. Nicole thr trainer is that girl, she got me so right!!

I cancelled this gym membership back in 03/01/2023 because it takes me one hour round trip to go to any Crunch Fitness in my area. I went to a facility on March 1, made a second trip on May 20, and wrote a couple of emails to a manager. They would not cancelled my membership but kept accumulating my membership fees until August and sent it to collection. I had to report this to Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This company ignored their notices for two months. Consumer services told me they reserve the right to sue this company in the future. Now a year later, this company emailed me to join their membership for $1 and they will waive 50% of my collection balance. What the ...? I already told them I cannot travel one hour round trip to any of their facility and they just cannot cancel my membership from last year.

Update: Asked management multiple times to clean the filthy stinky men’s bathroom & locker rooms and still no improvement. The locker room reeks of body odor so bad I can hardly go in there, there’s water all over the floor and there’s trash all over the floor and the bathrooms are disgusting. Management needs to put a couple of $5 glade plug in air fresheners that periodically freshen up the locker rooms and clean the stinky sauna too. Staff should be over there every 30 min to mop up all the water on the floors instead of putting up a wet floor caution sign up. I can’t even change without getting my socks wet. It’s disgusting and not acceptable. I call and ask management to clean the bathrooms and while I’m there no one even looks at the mess. Other crunch locations are not run this poorly & have no issues keeping the bathrooms and locker rooms clean. If staff can’t keep the place maintained and clean, they need to be replaced. Crunch channelside at Kennedy grand Central, Channelside, in downtown tampa is a great location and a decent value at $10/month but not maintained too well. Crunch Channelside has made many improvements over the years including better pathway to locker rooms, moving equipment configuration, adding spinning, adding hydro massage, and adding tanning beds! Good spot with great music and good people! Staff is way nicer than dim lit la fitness gym. Crunch does get busy but it's a motivator to work in with people, talk to people, and work out faster!

WILL CHARGE YOU WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION!! FRAUDULENT BUSINESS!! I’ve been trying to cancel my membership at Crunch Tampa Palms since the end of September. After completing their requirements, they have continued to charge me every month. After I had to call my bank to dispute the charges and block Crunch Tampa Palms, now Crunch Channelside just billed me $80 for 3 months at once, even though Tampa Palms hasn’t stopped billing me. I HAVE NEVER AUTHORIZED THIS MERCHANT TO CHARGE ME! Keep you bank information safe!! Do not sign up unless you have extra money to throw away after cancelling!!
