Crunch Fitness has partnered with IdeaWork Studios, Inc. to launch the brand’s first mobile application. The free app, available for both the iPhone and Android users, allows members to check-in, retrieve location and class information, set preferences, redeem specials and stay connected with the Crunch community, all while on the go.
“We couldn’t be happier to launch the Crunch app, making our innovative brand and programming even more accessible to our members,” said Christina DeGuardi, the vice president of marketing for Crunch. “With our diverse membership base and endless inventory of offerings, the app makes staying connected easier and more accessible than ever.”
The Crunch app allows users to search for locations and group fitness classes near them via GPS, with the ability to filter by specific gym amenities and programs. Members can check-in with the apps mobile bar coding system, taking away the need for the conventional key tag and update the check-in to their Foursquare, Facebook and Twitter accounts to alert friends. Users can also take advantage of special discounts and offers including sending guest passes to friends.
“After supporting the Crunch website and building multiple micro sites, it only seemed natural to come together to build the Crunch app,” said Jay Schwartz, the president of IdeaWork Studios, Inc. “With the ever- changing face of technology, Crunch is now leading the pack in mobile fitness applications.”
The Crunch mobile app can be downloaded at either app store by searching for Crunch Fitness or by visiting their website. Crunch looks to launch version 2.0 in the future with even more capabilities.
Glad they finally got it out there. I wonder how much they paid for this. MiGym migymapp.com has this functionality and clubs only pay like $99.
