New Crunch Fitness Location Opening Fall 2026

New Fitness Options and Active Living in South Bend & Mishawaka

South Bend and Mishawaka continue to grow as vibrant places to live, work, and stay active. From established parks and trails to an expanding lineup of fitness facilities, the Michiana area offers plenty of ways for residents to prioritize health and wellness close to home.

One of the most anticipated additions is the new Crunch Fitness location coming to Mishawaka. The large, state-of-the-art gym is scheduled to open in a few months at 5944 Grape Road (in the former Ashley Furniture / Big Sandy space). The facility will bring Crunch’s modern “3.0” design to the South Bend metro area, featuring expanded strength and functional training zones, a HIITZone with indoor turf, group fitness classes, HydroMassage recovery beds, tanning, Kids Crunch babysitting, full-service locker rooms with showers and a sauna, and more. Memberships are expected to start at accessible rates, making it a welcome option for a wide range of fitness levels and budgets.

This addition joins an already solid local fitness scene that includes traditional gyms, boutique studios, outdoor trails, and community recreation programs. Combined with the area’s parks, river paths, and dog-friendly green spaces, residents have more choices than ever for staying active year-round.
