Crunch Fitness is set to open a new 24,000-square-foot gym this fall in Brunswick, Ohio. The expansion is led by Fit Fusion, LLC, a franchisee group that operates seven locations nationwide. Fit Fusion plans to open more Crunch Fitness gyms in Ohio and Illinois this year.
The new Crunch Brunswick gym will feature a variety of fitness options, including half-hour circuit training, personal training, and a dedicated group fitness studio. Other offerings include Hot Yoga, Ride cycling classes, TRX, and a functional training area with indoor turf. Members will also have access to HydroMassage beds, tanning, red light therapy, a stretching zone, and full-service locker rooms with showers and a sauna.
“We’re excited to bring Crunch to Brunswick and become an active part of the local fitness community,” said Erik Johnson, vice president of marketing at Fit Fusion. “We also plan to open one or two more locations in the Greater Cleveland area soon.”
Crunch Brunswick will be located at 3289 Center Road.
To celebrate the opening, the gym is offering a special promotion for the first 500 founding members: $1 enrollment, the first month free, and a chance to win one of three one-year memberships. Founding members will also receive a complimentary t-shirt and discounts on small group and personal training.
The Brunswick gym is also hiring for several positions, including general managers, member service representatives, group fitness instructors, and personal trainers.
Recently, the fitness franchise announced a major investment from Leonard Green & Partners, a private equity firm. The firm is acquiring a majority stake in Crunch from TPG Growth and other minority shareholders. Additionally, Crunch Fitness is expanding internationally, with plans to open at least 75 gyms in India in the coming years.
