This national gym chain is continuing to expand in the San Antonio area, planning to open its third gym in the past two years.

Two-minute impact

Crunch Fitness broke ground on a new, 35,000-square-foot location in Northern San Antonio, according to a Dec. 8 news release.

It’s located at 4319 Thousand Oaks Drive—inside the location of a former Gold’s Gym—and is expected to open sometime this summer.

The location will be owned and operated by The Undefeated Tribe, a franchisee group led by Owner Tony Hartl, according to the release. The group currently owns 41 gyms across the United States.


"We are so excited to bring the Crunch Fitness brand to Thousand Oaks Drive and offer outstanding and affordable fitness," Hartl said in the release.

Thousand Oaks will be the chain's seventh overall in the San Antonio area, with the company opening two others on the city's North Side last year, according to previous reporting from Community Impact.

The specifics

Crunch Fitness will debut the chain’s proprietary Crunch 3.0 design, featuring “modern aesthetics with enhanced functionality to deliver an upgraded fitness experience,” according to the news release.


Here are a few of the planned features for the new, $5 million gym, according to Crunch’s website:
  • Cardio and strength training equipment
  • Olympic lifting platforms
  • Babysitting area
  • Group fitness studio
  • Mobility training area with turf
  • Tanning beds, red light therapy and HydroMassage beds
  • Full-service locker rooms with sauna and showers
The gym will also be offering personal training, group fitness classes, cycling classes, babysitting services and more.
