Crunch the Original 'No Judgments' Gym Opens first Australian site in Chatswood

Crunch gym was started in New York USA 21 years ago. A medium sized chain – they currently they have over 20 sites in the USA. The company has made the move to Australia with a local Sydney entrepreneur Selena Short. Short already the owner of a successful club in the Sydney CBD called V Club (www.vclub.com.au) was looking for a proven business model that would change the face of fitness in Australia.

The Crunch fitness model is based on offering entertaining and interesting work outs for members and all within a no judgment environment. They have fused Group Fitness and Personal Training to give members a variety of classes. The three key class types are Action Sports, Chill Outs and Dance Rhythms. Their creativity will be sure to keep members entertained, having fun and coming back for more. Where else could you get fitness class called 'Who Dares Wins'?

Their unique approach to fitness is also found in their approach to memberships. Their structure is No Contracts, No Joining Fee and No Admin Fee. True to this they are offering an amazing pre-sales deal of $4.95 a week for a base membership which covers use of the gym facilities. Their peak membership is only $9.90 a week which covers use of the gym facilities and classes.

Members can join either by visiting their site on Level 2, 1-5 Railway Street, Chatswood or directly via their website (www.crunch.com.au) or via their Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/pages/Chatswood-Australia/Crunch-Australia/116184525092265).
