      I worked at Crunch Fitness full-time

      Pros

      Crunch Membership
      Discounts
      Co-workers support each other

      Cons

      Benefits slashed in 2018
      Executive team out of touch with members and employees
      Wage freezes of convenience
      Constant comp plan adjustments to cut costs
      Club managers budgets continually cut deeply

      Advice to Management

      Decisions are not being made with the Crunch's core values in mind. The angel on Keith's shoulder puts out great philosophy of the company culture for both employees and members, but the devil on the other shoulder is making the decisions that result in disappointing experiences for both groups!

      I worked at Crunch Fitness part-time

      Pros

      Free access to gym anytime, always had opportunities to come in or switch my shift with someone, also had down time to study on the side while at work.

      I have been working at Crunch Fitness part-time

      Pros

      Fitness is fullfilling, even at the more corporate gym level. Great learning as you deal with all kinds of different clients and needs. You learn to market yourself and learn sales. Loose structure can work to your advantage for sales and clients as long as your not de-valueing your training. Make your own prices, which means you can make big bucks.

      Cons

      The management in the San Diego Franchises are lacking expertise and there is constant miscommunication between investor owners, managers, and employee's. The company is beginning so you will run into constant issues like pay, commission, and daily policy changes. Management can make a new policy overnight, and discipline you for not following a policy that you ever heard of. Its a corporate title, but anything goes in what they can do as long as sales goals are hit. Unfortunately in my gym this goes to water down personal training prices just so they can make a sale and Im at the mercy of sometimes de-valueing my training to a low price just so some I can or a fitness manager can "hit numbers."

      Advice to Management

      Start following the crunch corporate outline for running each gym and start looking at employee satisfaction for your franchise. Set standards for each gym and do not allow management to wave from those standards and policies. Find a way to stay consistent with those standards so employee's can figure out what to expect in their job duties, responsibilities, and pay.

      I worked at Crunch Fitness part-time

      Pros

      Very environment, great co-workers and members were pretty good too.

      Cons

      Pay sucks, very bad fitness manager who is not organized and didn’t even know my work schedule. You only get paid by commission after your probation period is over. Not enough hours to prospect to get clients and they blame the trainers when the club don’t hit ridiculous monthly goals.

      Advice to Management

      Have better leadership and pay trainers salary
