Joined The Crunch following a friend's recommendation and I honestly wouldn't go to any other gym. It's a diamond in the rough, but that's exactly what I like about it. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive, and the gym has a lovely community spirit (it's so nice going somewhere for a while and beginning to recognise and become friendly with other regulars). There is always a rack free, all the main equipment you need, and plenty of accessory equipment (resistance bands, straps, belts, etc.). Paddy is also an exceptional PT and has been so encouraging in introducing me to strength/weight training. As a woman, it is difficult finding a gym that is not intimidating and is genuinely open to all genders; I feel lucky to have discovered The Crunch.
I had never been to a gym and was very nervous about going. Paddy put me at ease and helped me build a strength and conditioning programme that challenged me without being too daunting - and he has patiently walked me through how to build my strength and resilience safely. The Crunch is really welcoming and i feel at home when working out on my own - I always leave feeling enthusiastic and motivated for my next session. Highly recommend - been a life changer.
Best gym I've ever been a member of, by miles. No frills, no high prices - just an excellent community and knowledgeable PTs. I've never felt threatened, intimidated or self conscious, and I've made more progress working with Paddy for 11 months than I have over the last 5 years. Huge recommend.
A hidden gem of a gym. Everything you need for lifting and always racks available. The team are super friendly and there is an approachable feel overall, no ego. Can always ask the owners for help and advice. Also any gym that has dogs working the reception must be pretty special.
If you're after a fancy place with lots of machines it's not for you but if you want to do strength training it's great. There are loads of racks and free weights, it's never overcrowded, and there's a good communion people. Paddy is brilliant too.
