So I came into town from Youngstown to visit my cousin. We decided to hit the gym before getting dinner. When we got there, Henry got us checked in and made the process seamless. They had everything you need there. 10/10 would come back.
I’ve worked with several trainers over the years, but Victoria at Crunch Tampa Palms is truly in a league of her own. She strikes the perfect balance of being encouraging without ever feeling overbearing. What I appreciate most is her insight and intuition—if I struggle with an exercise, she doesn’t immediately let me tap out or switch to something easier. She pushes me through it in a way that feels supportive, not stressful. And if she sees that I genuinely can’t complete a movement, she always has smart, effective alternatives ready to go. Victoria is professional, knowledgeable, and has the kind of personality that makes you actually look forward to your workouts. She has a real gift for training—this is more than just a job for her, and it shows. If you’re serious about bettering yourself, I cannot recommend her enough. I’m honestly sad to be moving to North Carolina because I wish I could keep her as my trainer forever. If you get the chance to work with Victoria, take it. She’s incredible.
This place is absolute trash, not worth even the $5 monthly! The employees are incredibly arrogant. If you don't have a toned, athletic body, they look at you with disdain! They're incredibly disrespectful! In two months of going to this gym, the shower hasn't worked once! Maybe it's okay for them to work out, go to the sauna, and not even shower afterward, but it's not okay for me! The benches in the sauna are covered in other people's sweat and look greasy! The last straw for me was when I came with my mom to go together. I paid $35 monthly to have that option! I booked a chair massage for myself, but my mom went instead of me, we took just one chair for one seance! The girl from front desk came, kicked her out of the chair, and wouldn't let her get a massage! The equipment always dirty! The floor with dust and someone’s hair! I really hope this review helps others, so no one ever gets a membership here! This is a terrible place, with terrible employees and management!
The gym is cool. I never had been to a commercial gym before this, but based off my location I decided to try Crunch. The membership fees don’t seem ridiculous to me, but I have the basic plan. I think there is a variety of equipment and you can usually find dead times that allow you to workout without having to wait for equipment. There are a few machines I did wish they had more of, but this location is about to do an expansion so they might get more soon. Overall, I think the gym is decent and the staff all seem nice for the most part.
I’ve been going to Crunch Fitness in Tampa Palms for over a year. It’s a pretty standard gym—basic equipment, nothing exceptional, but it gets the job done. Washrooms are clean, members wipe their benches and equipments are available for all. What really disappointed me was the $21 “downgrade fee” they charged just to change my membership. It felt unnecessary and unfair, especially after being a loyal member for so long. There was no clear justification for the charge, and it left a bad impression. If you’re considering joining, just be aware of these hidden fees—they don’t make it obvious upfront. Customer loyalty should be appreciated, not penalize
