Pros

There is only two good thing to working at Crunch, and that is getting to connect with members who understand what it must be like to work for such a business. I was quite close with many members and after my leave, many cancelled their memberships in support. Two, your co-workers. I got along with all my co-workers and appreciated them dearly.

Cons

Crunch Fitness is a corrupt, money-driven cesspool of terrible management and a joke of a work environment. I was lied to consistently, berated for responsibilities that were not my own, disrespected and NEVER received a thank you for my consistent efforts to please management over my months of employment. Prepare yourself to deal with belligerently furious customers on a daily basis because Crunch implements horrendous pricing policies on their memberships with hidden fees, cancellation fees, pretty much any fee they can tack on, they've done it. And guess what, it's your responsibility to call those customers and collect money. I was threatened numerous times by members. They will pay you the bare minimum and find any excuse to not pay you more money, even after claiming they would. You are simply a piece in their game and they will happily throw you away for a college student who will settle for it because it's an "easy" job. In my months of employment, employees were not rewarded for our sales efforts, and instead when hitting goal marks our managers would receive bonuses. For anyone considering working as a Personal Trainer, DON'T DO IT. Guess what, when Crunch has sales on PT packages, the discount comes out of YOUR paycheck. The split for your PT pay is also abysmal. Any clients you build will be taken from you at a moments notice. I cannot emphasize this enough, do NOT work at Crunch fitness, and stay as far away as possible from becoming a member. Go work at any other fitness facility. I can't speak for other locations across the states and only can speak from my branch experience, but I have a feeling it's quite similar...Crunch is a dirty corporation who hires toxic, unexperienced individuals and focuses solely on gaining money.

Pros

Most of the employees easy to work with. Dawn was also great to work for. Everyone's attitudes where absolutely great... minus 1

Cons

I was told I was going to be full time. I had quit my other job because I was asked to be more flexible. Yet the schedule was a set schedule 9 to 1 . 20 hours a week 9$ an hour after 6 months I asked when will I go full time. The response was the custodian positions are only part time. Yet it was listed as full. I was told to quit my job because I needed to be fully available.. ?dawn was not the hiring person who hired me. I came here today year of 2026 because I recently saw a job posting saying custodian positions full time.?... so in here warning because its exactly what I saw when I got hired... full time..... I made 180 a week. Befor taxes. There was one trainer who told me I needed to vacuum a dust bunny but there was a man working out there i asked him it's ok to vacuum he said let me do my set. She snapped her finger and said do it now 😳...the customer got up looked at me looked at her and said I honestly want to not be at this gym any more. Then looked at me and said I know your doing what your told .
