Key info about this gym
Tucked away in Bradenton, Florida, Crunch (Lakewood) leaves a distinct impression with mixed reviews. Despite a middling Yelp score of 2.5, this gym shines brighter on Google with an overall rating of 4. Although they don't operate around the clock, their hours are designed to accommodate a variety of schedules. Just be aware if you’re visiting with kids, they currently don’t offer childcare or daycare services.
What about amenities?
But let's delve deeper into their fitness offerings. Earning kudos from members is their extensive cycling program which goes toe-to-toe with a well-equipped cardio section. Weight enthusiasts might appreciate the robust dumbbell section for their strength-training needs. For those needing a bit more guidance or coaching, personal training services are readily available. And if you crave variety in your workout, ample space is provided in a turf area where you can engage in box jumps, sleds, or simply some good old-fashioned stretching. Unfortunately, heavy-weight olympic platforms for squats and deadlifts is a notable absentee.
Let's get you sweating! Cardio FTW at Crunch Fitness.

When it comes to water and wet haven amenities, the Crunch (Lakewood) experience is a bit polarized. Sweat out those toxins in a top-notch sauna, which unfortunately, is the only wet-area feature. The complex does not have a pool, a steam room, or a hot tub that members can relax in post-workout.

What about basketball? Or other group fitness?
While fitness is always better shared, limited team-based recreational facilities are available here. Group training sessions are a standout feature, ideal for camaraderie and motivation. But if you're looking for more sport-centric offerings such as a basketball court, pickleball or racquetball, you'd be hard-pressed to find them in Crunch (Lakewood).

Any extra services?
Recovery and wellness is not an afterthought in this gym. While towel services are missing from their list of amenities, rest assured that their commitment to extra features is solid. Get that summer glow all year round without stepping outside, thanks to the provided tanning services. After a grueling session of sweating it out, settle into one of their luxury massage chairs, perfect for easing those aching muscles. However, if you fancy watching a movie while demolishing calories, you’d have to make do without a cinema area for cardio sessions.
Alright. Final thoughts on Crunch (Lakewood).
