High-Energy Design Meets Local Fitness Culture in Central PA
Crunch Fitness is known for bold colors, bigger personalities, and an inclusive “No Judgments” philosophy—and their Mechanicsburg location brings all of that to the West Shore with energy to spare. Hannold Associates and Hannold Management teamed up once again to deliver this ground-up fitness facility through a fully integrated design-build process—tailoring national brand standards to meet local market needs.
With over 30,000 square feet of space, Crunch Mechanicsburg balances franchise consistency with site-specific design solutions, resulting in a gym that feels both familiar and fresh, corporate and community-focused.
Designed With Intention, Built for Growth
Our design team worked closely with the franchise owner to optimize the layout for high-volume usage while maintaining clear member flow, zoning, and experience-first planning. Every detail—from structural framing for equipment to the rhythm of entry and exit—was considered for efficiency and scalability.
This location features:

Carefully choreographed zones for strength, cardio, HIIT, and functional training, with sightlines that improve wayfinding and flow.Enhanced Group Fitness Studios
Acoustically treated rooms for Crunch’s popular group classes and Peak programming, equipped with lighting controls and A/V integration.Innovative Flex Space

Open lounge-style seating at the entry, easy-access drink stations, and oversized windows that keep the space visually connected to its surroundings.
Local Execution, National Vision
What sets Crunch Mechanicsburg apart is how it bridges corporate consistency with a personalized construction process. As a trusted franchise partner, we helped the owner navigate brand design guides while making informed decisions about:
Material substitutions that improve durability while maintaining visual standards
HVAC, plumbing, and lighting layouts tailored to the site’s unique MEP conditions
Permit and zoning coordination with local authorities to streamline approvals
Cost-optimized build sequencing to keep timelines tight and operations on track
Our design-build model brought clarity to every phase, with Hannold Associates managing architectural design and compliance, and Hannold Management delivering boots-on-the-ground execution.
