Citrus Heights gym closing – Citrus Heights Sentinel

By Sara Beth Williams–
After nearly a decade in business, Crunch Fitness at the corner of San Juan Avenue and Greenback Lane is calling it quits.

In an announcement on social media on July 25, the company said the decision was both “difficult” and “necessary.”

“We cannot express enough gratitude for our beautiful community of passionate, unique individuals who have made our Citrus Heights location so special,” the company wrote.

The company also stated in their announcement that all current gym members would be “upgrading all Citrus Heights members to a Peak Results Membership for the lifetime of your membership.”

Front desk staff informed The Sentinel that all employees were given automatic transfers to other Crunch Fitness locations, and that all gym members were also given free transfers to gyms in a 10-mile radius, which includes locations in Folsom and Granite Bay. The gym’s manager reported that the gym plans to close Aug. 25 but referred all other questions to corporate offices.

According to the announcement, the Peak Results Membership allows Crunch gym members access to almost 500 Crunch Fitness gym locations. Crunch Fitness lists several other facilities in California on their website, including gyms in Rocklin, Granite Bay, Folsom, Sacramento, and Elk Grove.

The Peak Results Membership also offers members state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment, group fitness classes, infrared saunas, CryLounge and Human Touch massage chairs, hydromassage and tanning services, personal and small group training sessions, online fitness resources and virtual workouts, and free guest privileges.

An employee with the gym told The Sentinel that team members received an email stating, “This was a difficult decision for us, unfortunately, we were affected by unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control.”

The closure of the gym comes just three months after the 99 Cents Only Store adjacent to Crunch Fitness closed its doors in May.
