It appears #CrunchFitness is at it again with the quick draw brigading and censoring of what should be serious safety concerns for their members and should warrant at least some investigating

This is more Phishing Surfer and his #CyberCrime unit, but more sophisticated.

#CommunitySafety
A continuation of the Reddit thread on r/CrunchGym. User CannedNoodlez compares the original post to the "r/Gangstalking" subreddit. Another user, superbouser, expresses shock about scanning palms to enter the gym. User chopkins47947 asks the original poster (OP) to "substantiate this story a bit more". The OP, Only-Truth5183, responds to several comments defensively, stating, "Let's see how long the post stays up".

And the next batch of comments where JBond rides in to the rescue once more, dismissing the concerns and effectively saying that if anyone has an issue with Crunch they can just go to another gym. Foreshadowing?

Here is presumably one of these original posters who had their post removed expressing frustration. The post is responded to with the commentary consistently following the pattern seen so far.

And probably the most disturbing post of all, naturally also taken down.

The post has been taken down and also the account of the person who responded to the question, saying that the source was Crunch's own staff.

A screenshot of a Reddit thread in the r/CrunchGym subreddit. A user named "Logical-Spread-6035" responds to a request for a source by claiming a post was taken down. They quote the deleted text, which contains serious allegations that a Crunch Fitness location in Southern California hired "thuggish accomplices" to stalk and harass members at their homes for eight months following heated arguments. The quoted text mentions audio-visual evidence of stalkers in vehicles and includes a shortened TinyURL link. At the bottom, the user asks "superchilldad" why their posts are hidden, wondering if it's a "rite of passage" on the subreddit.

Here's the continuation of the post facing pushback from "JBond-007_" who calls it a "fishing expedition", with other users backing the post, and pointing out that Reddit's purpose is to find shared experiences and collective accountability. (2/2)

#CrunchFitness #Reddit #CorporateSensorship
A continuation of the Reddit thread in r/CrunchGym. User CallActive7761 defends the original post, arguing there is nothing wrong with finding people in similar situations. JBond-007_ replies with an analogy, comparing the inquiry to asking about speeding tickets on a freeway and suggesting the poster should handle their "legal dispute" with an attorney rather than "fishing" on a global website. Two other users, fatbootycelinedion and ButterscotchKey3754, push back; one shares a success story of how Reddit helped them resolve a major car engine issue that led to a national recall, while the other notes that asking specific questions in relevant subreddits is exactly what Reddit is for.

The replies under this post about Crunch Gym retaliation are telling. Instead of answering the question, certain users are weirdly defensive and dismissive - here is "JBond-007_" once more. Check the "fishing expedition" comments in the next post.

#CrunchFitness #Retaliation #Harassment
A screenshot of a Reddit post in the r/CrunchGym subreddit titled "Retaliation, harassment?" by user OutsideSea3008. The post asks if current or former Crunch Fitness employees have experienced retaliation. Below, a comment from JBond-007_ dismisses the post as a "fishing expedition," sarcastically suggesting the user ask about other companies like Planet Fitness or Target instead. A partial reply from CallActive7761 defends the original poster, questioning why they would ask about places they never worked.

And here's a #reddit post that seemed to have shared a serious community safety concer - also taken down. A response might have had been made by the original poster to the question, but might not be visible due to shadow banning or removal of account.

A screenshot of a Reddit post in the r/CrunchGym subreddit posted by BoardEntire4307. The title reads, "Crunch allegedly involved with hiring of thugs to stalk and harass members they had a falling out with". Similar to the previous image, the post body contains a notice stating, "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters". A single comment from user superchilldad is visible, which asks, "Source for this info?".

A #Reddit post shared in the r/CrunchGym community by user titled "Crunch caught with pants down. Again."

Very curious what this could have been about, because there are some others that seem to be mentioning something along the same lines, also taken down.

#CrunchFitness #FunnyPost
A screenshot of a Reddit post in the r/CrunchGym subreddit titled "Crunch caught with pants down. Again." The post body is empty, replaced by a notice stating, "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters." Below the post, a comment from user "gemini_texan" asks, "Source?" A blue highlighted URL at the top of the image points to the specific Reddit thread.

Also worth noting are some repeat responders to posts on the Crunch subreddit, in this case user "JBond-007_" who despite his immature username has repeatedly belittled and insulted users posting concerns about Crunch.

#CrunchFitness #Reddit #CorporateCensorship

www.reddit.com/r/CrunchGym/...
A screenshot of a Reddit comment by user JBond-007_ in response to a discussion about Crunch Fitness. The commenter adopts a dismissive tone, suggesting that people should "speak to your manager" about their problems instead of posting online. They mention being "thousands of miles if not hundreds of miles away" but confirm they have a membership with Crunch Fitness and have spoken to management themselves in the past. The comment has 1 upvote and no replies.

#Reddit posts criticizing Crunch Fitness also appear to be #brigaded, posts deleted and even the original poster's account getting banned, leading to concerns of whether the subreddit and / or its moderation has been compromised.

Strangely enough, all these quick banned posts are about or are connected to Crunch Fitness, which was recently in the news for their controversial internal memo, which was also leaked on reddit, and led to community backlash.

🤨 Residents near Fletcher Pkwy in La Mesa report months of "coordinated" vehicle noise and low-flying aircraft.

Weirdest part: Every time someone posts about it -or the alleged connection to Crunch Fitness - the post gets scrubbed from Reddit.

#LaMesa #SanDiego #EastCounty #CrunchFitness
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/lamesa subreddit titled "Bunch of weird noises in La Mesa supposedly connect to Crunch fitness." The post, authored by user Consistent_Mirror537, describes a "war zone" atmosphere near Fletcher Parkway lasting 8 months, involving constant vehicle, motorcycle, and low-flying aircraft noises occurring 20+ hours a day. The author mentions theft, "strange people lurking," and claims that the situation is somehow connected to Crunch Fitness. At the bottom of the image, a red banner displays a warning: "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters." The image includes standard Reddit UI elements like the upvote button, comment icon, and share options.

Crunch Fitness, with some odd Corporate secrets of their own, is throwing their hat in the ring in support of ICE operations. Even rumored to have hired a company with a similar name.

Doesn't go well with members.
