Blink Fitness

Been going 2 weeks now.. so far Good gym! Clean. 2 floors , very spacious. COVID-19 friendly (meaning they do their part by checking temperature of everyone and keep the place clean, max people 70 at a time. But at 5am, there are barely any people so it's great ). Majority of people clean up after themselves as well. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. I like it a lot and I'm glad I get to hit the gym #5amclub 5 days a week.

First off the Staff is amazing, every single one. They keep the place clean, always friendly and just a great place to get a workout.Only issue is some of the people. I wish there was a gym etiquette class. Weights are never put back, people don't wipe down machines, working out after 1pm is just a bunch of teens starring at wannabe IG models hogging the bench.I wish everyone did their part. Shouts out to the staff though. Ill keep doing my part.

Only full-service gym in proximity to Journal Square currently open. Even during Covid they are open and observe safety protocols. Before 5 is great. In the evening you have to line up and wait for people to leave other than that great gym and for $15 a month you cannot beat it.

So.. i don’t normally do ratings but this one was special. I just had to take some of my time to do this. This was my first time ever inside an Blink fitness. I went to the one in journal square ( which is a great location) very small gym with minimum equipment; since the gym is located in a downtown like setting, the size of the gym doesn’t match the area per say, it gets extremely crowded very quickly. I personally think there needs to be renovations made to make a much bigger space but with the pandemic; i completely understand the focus is not there. Second, Younger adults under 18 definitely shouldn’t be allowed or with parental guidance, i said this because this particular gym is extremely small, it’ll just take up more space to allow them in. The monthly fee is cheap so that’s a good thing. It’s an Ok gym... I wouldn’t recommend it for gym addicts , gym rats. It’ll get the job done i guess. Besides the negative, the bathrooms were clean; locker room was a good size.

The deal seems pretty good so after one year I want to cancel this gym because of gym smells like super sweat sock. So I told the front counter my year is coming up can I cancel please she says $60 termination fee plus 45 days of extra fee. I was okay until wait until my year is up but they're still a 45-day cancellation. So even if you cancel when your year is up you still pay the fee. But let's get to the good part the gym is not that good besides everything else the place smells it is horrible. Unless you have an allergy will you can't smell anything don't go here this place smells like a sewer. They even have a lady that walks around with a spray bottle of air refreshment it doesn't help. Go across the street to 24 Hour Fitness pay more money but you get way more Service Plus classes.

This place stinks some members should seriously consider using deodorant before and while using the gym 🤢. Not just regular gym ordor it stinks it has a persistent distinct smell ( I would go in depth to describe but I don’t want to offend anyone). The AC on the second floor almost always never work; however the owner has been actively addressing the issue when it comes up. If you’re on the treadmill doing cardio you might just pass out. Had it not been for the AC not working I would rate this place 5 stars. The staff is VERY PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, WELCOMING and COURTEOUS!!I want to add that I’ve ammended my most recent review of this gym. The AC problem has been addressed; however, it’s something to look into and be constantly monitored by the Manager or building owner. The competition is directly across the street. Customers nowadays are looking for experience, value and service. You’ve won most of us on value and service please don’t fall short on experience.

Had this 2/5 but upping to 3/5 because I'm told the management has changed, and the space has indeed gotten better as far as maintenance and facilities are concerned. (Hope I don't jinx it.) That said, due to the smaller space, there still aren't enough machines to service and accommodate everyone. They also lack the amenities and equipment of other locations. It will get crowded if you are there at peak times.

It’s alright, can be really crowded and last time I had to skip part of my workout because there was a literal line for a machine. I bought a jacket for only $15 and it’s super comfy to work out in. The lockers should have built in combo locks but they want to sell you theirs..

THIS GYM IS AWFUL! I have been trying to cancel my membership and conveniently no one is available to help me. When I finally spoke to someone, they said I had to pay $45 to cancel and give 45 days notice. This was NEVER conveyed to me. Conveniently the manager was never available and when I left a message, they never called. Additionally, the telephone customer service line give you the hook and sink: "you are third in line, you are 2nd in line, you are ... oh, we are sorry, no one can speak to you, leave a message." And then they don't call back for 4 days. Once a return call is received the answer to all questions is "we are sorry, there is nothing we can do. You have to go back to the gym and speak to them there." BS. I have NEVER experienced such poor treatment at a gym. Also, this gym is not up to bar and the ceiling leaks with heavy rains. No classes. Cheap price means cheap service. Go back to NY Sports Club or 24 Hour Fitness while you can! Run there!REVIEW UPDATE: After months of trying to resolve the situation, Blink took me to collections and I had to pay over $100 to just make them go away. Literally the worst customer service ever. Ended up joining Retro Fitness and it is like night and day.

Overcrowded, except for very early morning or afternoon it’s impossible to workout in peace. Equipment is OK. Power racks serve as squat racks and bench press but are never available as there are only 2 of them. Very few barbells or free weights, machines on the other hand are many. The place is clean. Staff is friendly. Prices are good compared to 24hr Fitness across the street, but no group classes.
