Festivities included a live DJ spinning fresh beats and yummy bites provided by our friends at Asqew. Additionally, Annie’s Hot Dogs was onsite with their vending carts, serving up hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn and churros.

On Sunday, August 30, Crunch instructors kicked off the event with a high energy pre-run/walk warm up. As the participants neared the end of the 5K stretch they were given the unique opportunity to cross Home Plate at AT&T Park. The 5K run and walk was followed by a post-race festival with live music, food, giveaways, and an awards ceremony. And as an extra bonus, the racers received a free ticket to attend the San Francisco Giant’s baseball game that afternoon!

Crunch Gym Shorts Film Festival

drayner — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:49:08 GMT

On the evening of Thursday, October 8, Crunch hosted its Gym Shorts Film Festival at the Kips Bay club to honor the 30 Gym Shorts Film Contest finalists and to announce the $10,000 Grand Prize winner.

Upon arrival, attendees were greeted by the MC of the event, walked the red carpet, and had their pictures snapped by paparazzi. From there, the party-goers descended down the long flight of stairs, lit like the isle of an actual movie theater, to the party.

The tone of the night was set by a VJ spinning beats and mashing up snippets of the Gym Shorts films, which played on every screen in the gym. The group fitness studio was transformed into a screening theater where all 30 finalists’ work was featured. Plus, party-goers had the opportunity to star in one of the finalists’ films via green screen technology. Refreshments included Stella Artois, concession stand-style popcorn and movie theater candy passed out by classic candy girls.

Crunch-a-thon

drayner — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:46:31 GMT

On Saturday, October 17, members and non-members got their sweat on for a good cause at the first annual nationwide Crunch-a-thon event to raise funds for Augie’s Quest and finding a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Crunch offered a day of non-stop group fitness classes and personal training sessions at every Crunch location nationwide, with all proceeds going to Augie’s Quest.

Augie’s Quest was founded by fitness pioneer and founder of Life Fitness, Augie Nieto. Augie was diagnosed with ALS in March 2005, and since, has made it his personal mission to find a cure for the terminal disease by partnering with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to create Augie’s Quest. Augie has also called upon his friends and colleagues in the fitness industry, by creating Clubs for a Cure. Since their inception, Augie’s Quest and Clubs for a Cure have raised over $19,000,000.
