Crunch Fitness - Union Street

Great gym with a friendly staff. I don’t use the cardio equip but the weights are good (except there are very few 5lb barbell weight lol). Friendly front desk staff. Bathrooms and showers a bit worn, but everything else relatively new

Been to four gyms in SF in the last year, this one's the has the most maintained/ functional equipment; weight stack rails are lubed, all pins and carabineers are intact. Looks like the staff has all changed and improved as well, they're more welcoming. Most importantly, this facility is CLEAN, they have an excellent cleaning team who I see wiping ever corner, step, bench, rail and behind and under all machines. Its something that I didn't know I cared about till I resigned up with this gym. My only suggestion with this place is they can improve on equipment placement, I like to look in the mirror to improve my form. Alternative solution, get more mirrors 😉

Dropped in yesterday to check out Crunch and feel out my level of comfort with working out in a gym during Covid. The general manager - Rob, gave me a tour of the place and answered all my weird questions.

I was super impressed with how clean it felt and ended up actually being able to get a full workout in. Not at all crowded, wipe down stations everywhere, awesome music and great staff! Finally found my new workout place 💪

I've lived all over SF in my 6 years in the city and tried a variety of gyms, but the Crunch on Union Street is the best of the bunch. The staff is professional and considerate, they have all machines and weights you could ask for, and the other members are down to earth and willing to help you out. Would highly recommend joining.

The gym is well maintained overall and just been upgraded with new equipment and functional training area. Perfect value for money.

If you’re into a chill yet active exercise experience, check out Crunch Gym for satisfaction. Here is a no-pressure, reassuring, and comforting work out center. I tried the one at 1725 Union Street in the Cow Hollow area of San Francisco.

The manager, Rob, was so eager to set me up and address my short-term needs. He and Margaret made sure the paperwork was care-free. Member card in hand, I went to the spotless locker room, which, truth-be-told, has sinks that look like they’re in an upscale Union Square hotel (good soap, good towels.)

Then it was up to the weights. They are well-racked and secured. All the free weights and Nautilus machines are logically arranged. Sanitation zones are within close reach and feature spray not sounding as if it came from a medical lab; it has the French perfume sounding “Lavender 256.”
In fact, nothing has a rough edge here. You can work out hard, but feel easy.

In my gym back home certain members ask to “work through,” which is a polite term for barging in between your sets to save time. With Covid that is not advisable, as you should clean up before and after you lift. So, it would really take up more time. At Crunch, a member, in soft tone, asked where I was in my cycle. I said three more sets, and he started up on another machine. His affability made me offer to stop and go on another station. Manners are contagious.

And manners are about care for others, and that’s what Crunch does best – for your health, your development, and your feelings. Their poster boards proclaim, “No judgements,” but I judge Crunch a winner.

For being in a small city space this gym has everything you need to get a good lift in. The gym is very clean and is abiding by all health guidelines. I met Derick & Kevin the first time coming here and they really helped me get started and set some personal goals. There is a good group of people working here that will take some time to introduce themselves and help motivate you.

I can easily recommend this place for people who work/live in the area and people who are interested in personal training. The gym is maintained well and also clean. In fact, every time I go in I see the cleaning staff working. The personal training staff has been such a pleasure to work with. My fiancé and I haven’t gone to the gym in year and were a little intimidated with walking back into the gym. Once introduced to Ryan & Ava, we knew we were in good hands. They took the time to explain the process, help create nutrition plans for us, as well as explain what we should be doing at the gym when we aren’t participating in our personal training sessions.

I’ve been working with Ava for a couple of weeks now and have never felt better. She has been so kind and understanding of my fitness goals. She creates workouts for me based on the specific areas I want to target. Ava has been wonderful and has upbeat and enjoyable energy. I look forward to all my training sessions with her, even though I know my body will be incredibly sore after we work out. If you’re new to the gym and want to learn from an exceptional trainer, Ava is your girl!

In conclusion, Crunch is pretty great. We go to a couple other locations, but Union is the one we frequent the most. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ava and the personal training at Crunch. Investing in your health is the best investment you could make.

I've gone to this neighborhood gym for years - it's friendly, convenient (close to my home) and provides all the gym options I need since working out is not my favorite thing to do. I use the gym for maintenance vs. body building - and this CRUNCH has two floors with plenty of machines so there's seldom any waiting or delays in my exercise hour. Plus, this Union Street location has fewer 'Marina Bros' strutting their stuff, which is typical of the general character of the street (vs. the CRUNCH on Chestnut).

Great gym with lots of variety for different equipment or training plans (e.g. TRX, cardio, power lifting, body building, etc.). Nice environment and clean. Locker rooms were also very nice and they provided plastic bags for dirty clothes which I really appreciated !

Quite honestly the best gym I've ever been to! I've never trained anywhere that challenges me so much physically but in such a supportive and friendly environment.

I dropped in to use the bike on my vacation, as our hotel did not have a gym. The kind front desk staff just let me work out for free! The place is clean and well stocked with towels and nice change rooms.

Amazing gym all round. The facilities are perfect, great mix of classes, cardio and weights, a real one stop shop. Experienced and knowledgeable group of trainers and staff. Well worth it!!

The general manager Rob O’Connor is such a great guy. The place is super clean, not too busy, and great location. Definitely recommended.

Super friendly, clean and well-equipped gym. Staff are knowledgeable ready to help you out with tips and tricks.

Very clean! I absolutely enjoy working out at this location;)

Great experience! Clean environment, great equipment and friendly owner and staff. Will definitely return when visiting the Marina.

Consistently decent gym with plenty of machine and classes. Not overly crowded either.

good gym, high quality equipment

My friends and I visited from NYC and visited this Crunch. Great clean gym and friendly staff. Would recommend.
