LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunch Franchise today announced the opening of a 24-hour gym with state-of-the-art equipment and amenities in Lawrence, Kansas. The expansive new club – located at 1900 W. 23^rd Street – is expected to open in December 2018.

In early November, a one-day "Cyber Sale" will enable new members to join Crunch Lawrence for rates starting at $9.95 per month. The first 500 members will receive a free t-shirt, discounts on small group and personal training, and more.

Fusing fitness with entertainment to make serious exercise fun, Crunch Lawrence will offer top-quality cardio and strength training equipment, half-hour circuit training, personal training, a functional training area with indoor turf, a dedicated group fitness studio, tanning beds and sunless spray options, and more.

Crunch Lawrence owners Brian Hibbard and John Armatas are not new to franchising or the fitness industry. Prior to developing Crunch locations, Armatas was an executive with the YMCA for nearly 20 years, and Hibbard is the president and franchisor of a 50-unit chain of businesses in another industry.

"We are excited to bring the Crunch brand to Lawrence, which hasn't had the top-notch fitness facilities it deserves," said Hibbard. "Crunch is for everyone, from the first-time gym-goer to the seasoned athlete. Add in a high-energy and fun environment, with membership options to meet everyone's goals and budget – what's not to love?"

Crunch, known for its innovative group fitness programming, will offer a wide range of classes every week including BodyWeb with TRX®, Zumba®, Cardio Tai Box, Yoga Body Sculpt and Fat Burning Pilates. Members looking for additional guidance or motivation can utilize the HIITZone, a proprietary high-intensity interval group training program.
