Crunch Fitness - Yerba Buena

Not a large space but has everything you need! I especially like that they have newer treadmills (the kind where you can push buttons 1-12 for speed and steepness), a pool, and sauna/steam room!

It’s nice that you can call ahead a day in advance to reserve a time slot for the pool as well :)

Sweet staff, picked this gym for the pool. Small but heated. You can reserve for only 30min at a time but nice to get a few laps in before work!
Talk to them to get a discount on membership!

I was visiting from out of town and a member in my home state. Staff where great gym was clean. Steam room and sauna were firing. Plenty of towels. Only slight negative is bathrooms are older but not a deal breaker

Awesome classes, great trainers, super friendly staff and you can get a deal on a membership. Just ask. Great swimming pool for laps and a nice deck area to catch a few moments on a lounge chair in the sun. Except when it's raining.

energizing and always great vibes during classes. Major bonus to have a sauna and steam room along with all the hair accessorizing heat tools

Love this Crunch location here in the city. Although it is small it still has all the equipment and resources you need to have a great workout. So appreciate general manager Carolyn for being so flexible as I started my full time membership from ClassPass. She made the process so smooth and really was excited to have me join!

I had a wonderful experience working out at this location! The customer service was amazing and the general manager, Carolyn, promptly greeted us as we entered. The facility makes great use of its space, the equipment is new and well taken care of, and the facility is extremely clean! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a gym within this area of San Francisco.

All the machines you need, separate studio for classes, swimming pool, steam room, and sauna facilities. Living in the area, Crunch is extremely convenient for me. Can't wait to check out some other locations of theirs too which specialise in classes, weights, etc. They have a branch in the city that used to be a theatre too (extremely artsy). They also have a free trial like other gyms, so check it out!

The rates for Crunch (especially if you opt for 1 gym) are pretty competitive too for the high standard of equipment on-site.

I tried Zumba class here. It’s a good cardio, the songs were really nice and steps were easy to follow. Definitely recommend if want to do cardio and incorporate new routine in your workout.

This gym is incredibly unfairly reviewed. I've been a member at Crunch Fitness - Yerba Buena for over half a year now and out of all the gyms I have been to San Francisco, Crunch provides the best amenities, service, and equipment for the best value and I've been a member at Equinox, World Gym, and a handful of other fitness studios in the area. Their Operations Manager, Yessica and GM, Jonathan have been very accommodating to all my needs and quick to respond to any questions I had about my membership. The gym is constantly getting remodelled and upgraded. On top of the state of the art equipment, the gym has a superb cleaning staff. Toilets, showers are spotless. One of my favorite things to do at Crunch is go into the steam room for 20 minutes and finish it off with a cold shower. The studio space that they have is very unique and teachers like Michael and Tony are experts in their fields of flexibility/iyengar yoga, which is very unique to find at a commercial gym like this. Do not be fooled by the small space, I've never had to wait to take a shower or use the racks/machines. Best gym in San Francisco by a landslide. (Pro Tip: Ask about special rates, discounts, and deals)

Outdoor pool (22yd) is really great and sunny. Staff and swimmers are friendly. That deck and pool are worth the membership. The ladies locker room is clean and spacious and I enjoy the sauna. The gym isn't crowded like some other SF gyms.

I recently joined because they have a small but cozy outdoor lap pool. It’s a three lane 25 meters. I struggle finding outdoor pools open in the city so I was driving to Palo Alto just to be able to swim and after an awful encounter with fitness sf Fillmore location that truly demoralized me I was skeptical to join any gym but the outdoor swimming experience along with the ability to use their clean linens and swimming robes and just take deep breaths in their lounge chairs under the sun in the pool area, gave me the tranquility to join and so far so good.

I have read the bad reviews and since they seem parallel to my rip off prior gym experience, I think it’s time to advocate locally and state wide for laws protecting consumers from predatory gyms contracts.

Super friendly staff. Excellent working machines and plenty of weights.
Clean and fresh ambience with towel service and plenty of room in locker area.
Swimming pool with sunbathing chairs, 3 lanes in pool and access to 1 person per lane per 30 minutes.
Outdoor working out area with mats and stairs.
Plenty of cardio machines.
Steam room and sauna room as well as 3 showers and a handicap shower. There’s also a shower in steam room to cool down while in there.

I love this gym better than 24 hour fitness as it’s superior in quality and service.

Also has 3 restrooms, 3 hand sinks, 2 blow dryers. Hand soap, lotion, q-tips, mouthwash, shampoo, body wash and conditioner.
2 Filtered drinking water stations.

A small Crunch gym shop with workout gear and goodies.

All you need to bring is your workout clothes and locker.

Membership is around $80 a month.

It's nice to be part of a large network of gyms for traveling. The staff members at this location are great. Special shout out to Taylor! One request please replace the missing 90lbs dumbbells there are definitely people here that would use them beyond myself.

I went for a fantastic and unique Iyengar yoga class. Excellent instructor, I highly recommend. The gym is pretty small, but there is a heated outdoor lap pool that you can reserve a lane in, which is not common for city gyms at this price point.

Omg I love this place. Such a cool vibe and such a friendly staff. Very clean and you get all you need.

Good package overall. Nice staff (compare to 24h fitness - OMG...), it's never really packed (major key!), they have a pool and price is totally reasonable. If you're looking for middle ground between the 24h fitnesses and the Equinoxes of this world you found it.

Clean, not crowded during off hours. Decent classes as well. A nice smaller sized gym with everything!

Great location. Service staff friendly, young lady at the front desk think her name is Aisha she always greets me with a smile ! Also having an outdoor pool in SF is awesome.

Started working out the "right" way on 12 Jan 2016. Goals are to build a foundation/improve posture, build lean muscle, and lower my body fat percentage. Many of my friends responded with:
"Fat?? Work out? why?? you're 100 lbs.. um, shutup"
---However, I knew there was a HUGE problem when I couldn't walk up a couple flights of stairs without getting winded or have my legs burning when I got to the top, or even pick up my 40 lb dog was a total struggle. Not to mention my energy level everyday was PATHETIC....wanting to nap multiple times a day, even after waking up after an hour or two.
I walked into Crunch hoping to find someone who could help turn me from a "fat-skinny" girl with no definition, to a healthy looking chick. (It's really okay to not know what you're doing at the gym) ASK FOR HELP- You're probably doing your work out wrong even if you think you aren't.
So, if anyone needs a fire lit under their butts to get started here are my results After less than one month working with Bente Geronimo:
working out 3-4x/week, in addition to not consuming donuts and chocolate milk on the reg. (But not altering my diet too much- I still enjoy my sweets!)
-Lost 2 mm from my triceps (ladies: the flappy wings)
-Lost 9 mm in my subscapularis (back fat)
-Lost .5 inches from my waist
-Skin fold total decreased from 60 to 47.
-% of Body fat went from 29.10 to 25.75! My overall goal: 20%
-Gained 1 inch on my buttocks!!!! In less than 1 flipping month. Without massive diet change, I was working out and having fun with Bente and saw results quick and felt SO much stronger.
While, I am still in the 'foundation' phase of training, I am thankful to have such a supportive gym family and trainer. I went from cardio girl- not knowing what the hell im doing to walking in the gym with major confidence to do the best work outs in the short time I have. Bente is definitely my go-to gal and I hope from this she can change someone else's health as well.
