Crunch Opens Expansive 45,000-Square-Foot Gym in South Park Meadows

A new fitness destination has officially opened its doors in South Park Meadows, marking a significant addition to the local wellness landscape. The 45,000-square-foot gym, operated by Crunch Fitness under the franchise group known as The Undefeated Tribe, aims to create a comprehensive fitness experience for members of all backgrounds.

During a recent tour of the facility, Group Fitness Instructor Noemi Matos and Managing Partner David Johnson highlighted the gym’s four distinct group fitness zones designed to cater to various workout styles and intensities. Matos shared insights on the unique appeal of group fitness, emphasizing the community aspect: “We build real connections in these classes. We show up for each other, we support each other, and we hold each other accountable.”

The gym features an expansive layout with rows of modern cardio equipment, a variety of strength-training machines, and Olympic lifting platforms. Additionally, there is an indoor turf area specifically designed for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and functional workouts. For those seeking efficiency, the gym includes a fast, 30-minute circuit training area aimed at delivering quick yet effective workouts.

David Johnson elaborated on the philosophy behind Crunch Fitness, stating, “Think of Crunch as seven gyms rolled into one under a single roof. We have tons of weights, miles of cardio, and world-class group fitness classes.” This comprehensive approach is designed to accommodate members focused on strength, cardio, flexibility, or high-energy dance workouts.

The facility also prioritizes wellness beyond workouts. Members can take advantage of a relaxation and recovery area that includes hydro-massage, red-light therapy, tanning services, and full saunas in each locker room. For families, the gym offers a “Kids Crunch” program, allowing parents to focus on their fitness while their children enjoy supervised activities.

Crunch Fitness operates 24/7, ensuring accessibility for all members. Personal training services are available for those seeking individualized guidance. Recognizing the importance of nutrition in achieving long-term health, the gym provides complimentary consultations, supplement advice, and online nutrition programs through Diet Fit.

Membership options are competitively priced, starting as low as $9.99 per month. The highest tier, the Peak Results membership, is currently offered at $35.99 per month, down from its standard rate of $59.99. This premium membership grants full access to all gym amenities, including group fitness classes and the ability to bring guests, alongside access to over 500 Crunch Fitness locations nationwide.

The opening of Crunch South Park Meadows reflects the brand’s long-standing commitment to blending effective workouts with an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere. The gym’s “No Judgments” culture fosters a welcoming environment for individuals of all ages, body types, and fitness levels, reinforcing its status as a community-focused space.

Established in 1989 in a small basement studio in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Crunch Fitness has grown into a national brand that combines serious workouts with an energetic and entertaining experience. The new South Park Meadows location embodies this philosophy, inviting the community to partake in a supportive and engaging approach to fitness.
