Crunch Fitness - Tribeca

I visited this gym in Tribeca during rush hour on a workday and it was pretty packed, machines are kind of together, so it can feel a bit cramped. The gym is spread over a few floors with the top floor is all cardio, the second floor has muscle-building machines plus a yoga room, and the third floor offers open spaces for personal workouts along with the locker rooms. The locker rooms are spacious with big showers and plenty of large lockers, which is great for winter. I only saw one water machine on the second floor, which isn’t the most convenient. The ventilation isn’t great like it felt stuffy and room temp. Also, at least half of the cardio machines, mostly the treadmills, were pretty old and squeaky. But the gym is clean, with plenty of wipe stations, and everyone is good about wiping down machines.

While in NYC for business, I got a day pass at Crunch Fitness on the days I worked out, and it was such a great experience! The staff were super friendly and really focused on making sure everyone felt welcome. One thing I loved, especially compared to gyms in Germany, was the free towels—such a nice touch! The location was super convenient, and the gym had everything I needed for a solid workout. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone visiting the city!

The gym itself is okay, but the sauna and steam room were disappointing. The steam room and sauna wasn’t hot enough, and the steam room had an unpleasant smell. They also didn’t have the eucalyptus spray. I was looking forward to relaxing in the sauna but couldn’t. On a positive note, the receptionist was very friendly.

i'm newer to the gym and almost didn't go because of some of the damning reviews. not sure what people are talking about with "outdated equipment", "no squat racks", etc. there are squat racks, the equipment is new-ish. i've searched all over lower manhattan; you cannot beat this monthly price for a very clean gym, very clean locker room w/ full steam room, dry sauna, free towel service, and squat racks. it's a smaller space, you'll likely have to wait your turn every now and then. kudos to the membership advisor Christian for not being pushy and being a great salesman.

Five Stars – Exceptional Staff, Incredible Support! I’ve been coming to Crunch Tribeca for over a year now, and this experience just reinforced why it’s my favorite gym. Huge shoutout to Christian and Erin for going above and beyond when I found myself in a stressful situation. My AirPods case somehow ended up in someone else’s locker, and I spent 30 minutes running around trying to figure out what to do. Thanks to the Find My app, I was able to confirm where they were, but I wasn’t sure how to proceed. Christian and Erin were absolute pros—calm, reassuring, and with a clear plan to help me sort things out. What really stood out was their dedication. Even after the manager’s shift had ended, they still reached out to get approval to break the lock if needed. Thankfully, I was able to catch the person as they were grabbing their things, played the sound again, and got my AirPods back—crisis averted! I don’t want to assume anything about how they ended up there, but what I do know is that the staff at Crunch Tribeca is next level. The professionalism, attentiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile make this gym truly stand out. Huge thanks to Christian and Erin—Crunch is lucky to have them!
