The vibrant fitness scene in Southeast Michigan is about to receive a major boost with the upcoming launch of four state-of-the-art Crunch Fitness gyms. The establishments, Crunch Livonia, Crunch Chesterfield, Crunch Grand Blanc, and Crunch Rochester Hills, are scheduled to open between April 2026 and fall 2026. Each location is a significant investment, costing around $5 million and spanning over 30,000 square feet, designed to create an unparalleled workout experience for the community.
These new gyms will be managed by Primetime Fitness, LLC, the franchisee behind several Crunch locations in Michigan. With their fresh openings, Primetime Fitness aims to offer expanded fitness options for residents, focusing on inclusivity and community engagement. To kick off this exciting venture, Crunch Livonia is inviting locals to a pre-opening party on March 14, where they can experience a taste of what’s to come.
The hallmark of these new facilities is the innovative Crunch 3.0 design, which merges modern aesthetic appeal with enhanced functionality. This innovation is all about transforming serious exercise into a fun and engaging activity. Here’s what members can expect:
- - State-of-the-art Equipment: Each facility will feature top-notch cardio and strength training equipment, allowing for a wide range of workouts.
- - Functional Training Areas: Dedicated spaces for functional training will be available, catering to different fitness levels and training styles.

- - Personal Training Services: Certified trainers will be on hand to support individuals on their fitness journeys, helping them reach personal goals through customized workout plans.
- - Recovery Areas: Amenities such as HydroMassage beds and recovery zones will be available, providing members a complete fitness experience that includes relaxation and body care.
Beyond the standard features, these gyms will also promote community involvement. Primetime Fitness plans to create approximately 160 new jobs across the four locations, bringing fresh opportunities for local residents. Open positions will range from general management roles to personal trainers and fitness instructors, contributing to regional employment.
Kevin Laferriere, CEO of Primetime Fitness, emphasizes the company’s commitment to the community.

These four new clubs represent approximately $20 million in capital investment and will create around 160 new jobs locally," Laferriere stated. The aim is to be a long-term partner in the community, creating stronger individuals and a stronger network of support.
In addition to their commitment to enhancing local fitness options, Crunch Fitness has been recognized nationally for its innovative approach to fitness. The brand has achieved notable rankings, being placed as #2 in the fitness category and #20 overall in the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500®. As Crunch continues its expansion efforts nationwide, its reputation for blending fitness and entertainment ensures that workouts will remain engaging and enjoyable for members of all backgrounds.
