Blink Fitness

The good: the gym is generally well-maintained and they do have a good variety of equipment.The bad: that equipment, when it's broken, is repaired slowly. The water fountains often lose pressure and you can't drink from them. One of the hand dryers in the men's bathroom was broken--for over a year. In addition, I had an incident with one of the staff members recently that completely ruined the place for me. One morning (I go early before work) I was doing squats at a rack; I had my tiny bag on the floor by the rack with my water bottle. A staff member walking by yelled at me, in the middle of the gym, to put my stuff in a locker (meanwhile many other people, I've seen since then, have their stuff strewn around and she's fine with it). Whatever, I put my stuff in a locker. The very next day when I'm going to leave (after having put my stuff in a locker, per her demand) I find my locker open and my bag rifled through; meanwhile two staff members are standing nearby chatting amongst themselves. Someone tried to steal my stuff and they would have let it happen.I can say this: I won't be renewing my membership when the time comes. I'm only in it now because I have the Manhattan pass which requires a one-year membership.

I am writing the review after using the place for more than a month. I already used Blink in California so I was aware about how this facility works. When I move to Jersey City and I was going through the review and I was worried about the reputation of this place. Despite having too many negative reviews I joined the fitness center and to be honest this is Cheap and Best fitness center. They don't have group exercise but that's okay.overall good place to do workout and if you need they have trainers also. Neat and clean with limited quantity. If you know what you have to do then this is perfect fitness center. They have set of flyers on the shelf with all set of exercises which is very helpful. Now as it is cheap so they have more crowd and during peak hours tough to get hold of equipment.Overall it is good fitness center.

I love this place. The staff is helpful and friendly. The place is clean and there is always someone checking the machines and cleaning up after the members. I think her name is Trinket! She is one of the nicest most professional persons i have ever met. There is a fun atmosphere there. Most of the members knows each other. There is only one problem with this gym, some of the members are not considerate of other members. This has nothing to do with the staff. The staff always does an excellent job. I sometimes find it hard to leave after my workout is complete. I love this Blink. Thanks to the staff for making my experience a great one.

The worst blink location I’ve ever been to. Mostly due to way too many people, not enough weights and not enough space.If you go between 5 and 8 you may not be able to move freely upstairs where the free weights are located. There is only one smith press and in all my visits I have never seen it free. Gym etiquette is non existent here. Groups of 2 to 5 people will horde several sets of weights or machines in general. Some people don’t let you work in and it’s a pain to really use free weights at all.There are more treadmills and cardio equipment so if that is all you want, this place might work. Otherwise I think this gym should be a last resort. The problem is it’s the only affordable option in the area.

Went to sign up today, while the staff was helpful at first, I was told I could not join due to an existing balance left from 2016... I had cancelled in person (in 2016) since I moved from the area and not once received an email nor a call regarding my account status. When I asked if a manager could intervene I was told he really could not do anything since corporate was located in Manhattan (...... so?)The staff member was a nice guy but I think this location needs to focus on its qualify of life so its members can do the same, while also future identical situations can be handled on the spot. Other than that the gym [in my past experiences from 2016] was great. More current reviews from other members may give a better idea.

Staff are fine, but customers hog machines for way too long...ignoring basic gym etiquette. WAY TOO OVERCROWDED in evenings. Very frustrating. Going to cancel membership. 24 Hour across is MUCH MUCH BETTER. NOT crowded. Excellent trainers and staff. Great shake bar, supplements for sale. None of that at Blink.

I really like the staff here they are very warm but if I could change 3,things this Gym would be excellent 1. Please keep handy wipes in stock they aren’t always available and that interrupts the flow of the workout cause nobody wants to workout after we’ve sweated all over the machines. 2. Once again not the staff fault but can machines be updated or fixed promptly some go down for 2weeks and more at a time. Last but not least another Smith machine would be nice but hey hats wishful thinking for now. The place has a few snacks available and a hydrating bar also is available. Lockers are available and the locker area is clean.

Great gym! Staff is always super nice and helpful. All the equipment I need! They just did a remodel implementing the members' suggestions by adding more weight benches and strength machines, and making the floor layouts more efficient. If you know what you're doing you can easily get in and out in 45 minutes with a GREAT targeted workout.

Very very bad experience...Bunch of Liars and Fabricators..do not communicate their policies at the time of joining, did not even allow customer to read the terms and conditions at the time of signing and later on charge on the name of policies.At the time of joining, we were told 'Gray' membership comes with no commitment and we can cancel whenever we want! We explicitly mentioned that we would be joining only for a month as we would be moving to CA by month end. Not a word then about this so called notice period and the consequent charge of 23$ per person. We were not even allowed to read the terms and conditions. My wife specifically asked if she can read the terms but the staff member said it is the same what we discussed.Rude, atrocious and clueless staff, zero customer services.. Instead of helping customer, cover up their employees by terming them new joiners.There is not even a single helpline for customer resolution, No one and mind you no one in the company tries to listen to and understand you... not the Staff, not the Club Manager, Not the Area Manager, not the support team..I have been following up with everyone via calls & mails, I could find related to this Fitness Center, but they make you feel that they don't care and it is customer's fault. How come customer will come to know about your policies if you don't communicate those and don't allow them to read those before signing.In our case, even the registration was done by the staff agent, we did not even click on 'Next' and 'Finish' button. We feel CHEATED.Please DON'T DO any business with them.

This place is awesome! Even though I stayed here for 3 months, this place has become like home, and the staff like family. The environment is always on top, great mood and it has been a joy to show up at the blink fitness front door in journal square...every single time. They have loads of machines and tools to work with, great music, always clean and always welcoming. The location is awesome as well. Several places to chill and just hang out after (or even before) your workout session. Im leaving back to Norway, with a huge smile on my face, and with SO many memories created from this place. No words to explain the experience from this place, it has to be experienced! I recommend it at the most!! If you like a chill, multicultural place with an atmosphere at the top...this is the place to lift and gain your muscles!
