The fitness chain is again staying in the suburbs.
The Crunch Fitness team is putting the finishing touches on two new locations coming to 820 Plainfield Road in Willowbrook and 704 Route 59 in Naperville. This follows the company’s large expansion strategy for this year. COO of JEM Wellness Brands Amber Martinez told What Now Chicago the Naperville and Willowbrook locations will debut around Oct. 1 or later.
JEM Wellness Brands manages multiple Crunch Fitness gyms, along with European Wax Center and Massage Envy locations. Crunch Fitness itself has been operating since 1989, now with more than 600 locations across the U.S. Right now, there are around 10 in the Chicago area.
Locations offer group fitness classes that are cardio-based, a full gym with weights and personal trainers. Cardio machines include traditional treadmills and ellipticals. The company encourages all kinds of workout intensities and styles.
The Willowbrook fitness studio is coming to the north side of Plainfield Road, next to Pete’s Market. An Ulta Beauty is also at the building, and is in the same plaza as Lumes Brunch Cafe. This is near the Kingery Highway intersection.
Moving to Naperville, Crunch Fitness will be on the east side of Route 59, close to the CVS at the N Aurora Road intersection. This is also close to Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken & Wings and Oberweis Ice Cream. The area is called Fox River Commons.
What Now Chicago is awaiting more information from JEM Wellness Brands. More updates on Crunch Fitness and future Chicago locations can be found on their website.
