    It’s a great gym it’s very clean good parking lot , but as more and more people with out gym etiquette are join the worst it’s become . You can see back packs and bottles of water holding machines with members chatting even with front desk and if anyone jump in the machine that’s been holded up with some objet , they come claiming their stuff was there working out what I find funny . So it may be my last month there as this kind of situation keeping repeating more often . Should have timer in the machines As it’s been out of control or sometimes that could educate this people . I ones said to a guy “ what if I bring a 38 botter of water pack ,and split up one botter at each machine and hold up 38 machines everyone else should wait I finish and pick up my waters ? I usually can do my gym routine in 45 minutes ,in this gym lately is taking me 2 hours and half .

    Quite possibly one of the best gyms I have been to. Clean, well lit and ventilated. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and the training sessions are tailored to help you grow.

    Great facility, that seems to have oversold their space. Peak times here are now unbearable. You’ll wait around for a machine or have to modify your workouts day to day. 4pm until closing during the week is miserable. Everything’s taken, with lines of people waiting at certain machines. Throw regimented workouts out the window if you come here weekday evenings.

    I love this gym so much! I’ve been coming here since it’s opened up a few years ago, and I love how amazing they run this place. It’s always clean, the staff are super sweet, the trainers are knowledgeable, the equipment is well-maintained, and most of all it’s a really great vibe here! Especially for women! Come out to Blink Fitness Medford!

    They’ve expanded the facility which is amazing but the hours never returned back to pre-covid. Blink is clearly getting more traffic as membership grows (as it deserves) but this also means the gym is packed nearly every hour Also it would be nice To have those hours for people who don’t work the conventional 9 to 5 such as for healthcare workers, restaurant Industry, and so forth

    BEWARE! Cancelling is not easy and they will attempt to squeeze every last dollar out of you. If you forget to cancel when you move multiple states away and go over a year paying and not going to the gym, when you finally do cancel they still expect payment in full. You cannot cancel on the phone or email they want you to come in person. Another month or so may pass before you are finally able to go to the gym and then they expect you to pay for that month even when you tried to cancel over a month before but were not allowed because you had to physically be at the location. Other gyms would see that someone has been paying and not going and be able to work something reasonable out or at least PAUSE the membership and give the person time to travel all the way to Boston to cancel. If you go on a weekend to cancel because that’s the only time you can travel to Boston the managers conveniently do not work weekends and are not able to speak to you. The managers can only talk to you on weekdays but you live multiple states away and work weekdays so they have it set up perfectly to keep collecting money from you and waste time. Shady business BEWARE!!!

    Been going for 2 months now, and can confidently say it is a 3.5 star gym with 5 star staff. While there is a nice diversity of equipment, the size of the gym and number of pieces of equipment leaves much to be desired. Anytime between 4-8 pm you will be left standing, waiting for any piece of equipment to open up due to the sheer number of members that will flood it during these hours. This coupled with an app that does not accurately track the capacity of the gym, actively misleading with a 50% capacity notice even at peak hours, when it is well beyond capacity, can make for a frustrating experience. The saving grace is the amazing staff, clean environment, and well maintained equipment. Great place during low traffic hours. Any other time will almost double your workout length.

    My neighbor and colleague recommended this gym. friendly staff, very clean, good vibe. It's overly crowded if I come any time 5-9pm. I wasted too much time waiting for gym smart phone gamers and peak hour supersetters. I'll start going to other gyms until they get the expansion.

    This gym is the best I’ve ever been to. It’s always clean(and if it’s not it’s because someone just left a mess a moment before) , always filled with the friendliest staff, super welcoming. The best thing I saw was the owner working the desk, it’s rare seeing the owner with the employees but it makes me gain so much more respect for the place. Free training session, showers, scales and updated machines. Really love it here.

    The gym is huge with a newly added section. The staff was courteous and helped me understand the entire process. The medford one has planet fitness nearby which offers similar prices I would recommend looking at both the gyms in person and choose accordingly.

    Would give 0 stars if I could. Extremely crowded at all times so you’ll never get a decent workout in. They push their ultra expensive trainers on you with a mandatory first session. They claim to be a cheap gym alternative, but then they charge you $70 to CANCEL. That’s right, if you need to cancel so you can move away or for any necessary life event, you have to pay them $70 to NOT go anymore. And even if your card expires, they will threaten to yank your credit. Sketchy business practice for an overcrowded gym. Avoid at all costs. Update: as you can see from Blink’s shady self-promoting response, they will do what all shady underhanded businesses do, and fall back on the sad excuse that you should have been a lawyer and read their fine print and understood every tiny detail that they intentionally attempt to obscure and draw your attention away from. Also LOL at their claim about being the cleanest or best gym in Boston. If you go here, I hope you enjoy lying down in the sweat stains of the 50 people you had to wait in line for 20 minutes behind.

    For the price its a decent deal, although there are way too many members and its wicked crowded for most of the day. I usually have to wait for machines or benches and there are people everywhere all the time. They really need to have a limit on the number of memberships they give out. I am leaving this gym due to this reason.

    I really like this gym just wish it was a little bigger with some better machines for back and chest where you can add the plates. It’s just so crowded all the time. I’m keeping my membership but definitely adding at least a PF membership to avoid crowds here and there. Would love to see another location added in the area. Other than that it would totally get 5 stars.

    Very clean gym, staff is friendly, great equipment the only issue is that I went through 2 undesirable moments I went to use the machine and had a backpack and simply the owner of the backpack came screaming at me knowing that she was using the squat machine and the hip thrust she was not using, anyway, this is not the first time this has happened. This situation is annoying for the rest, the gym is wonderful.

    This is my first time visiting a Blink outside of New York and I was delighted to see that the experience is consistent across cities. Staff was friendly, the gym was clean and the bathrooms were pristine. Shower head pressure was great and water got hot quickly. The sinks also have built in hand dryers for each faucet which was really nice to see. Hopefully these upgrades come to New York City Blinks but it’s nice to know I can leave home and have a great gym experience.

    My Experiences at Blink in Medford have been, without exception, Very positive and pleasant . The facility is immaculate with very high sanitary standards. Staff are always cleaning, and members do wipe equipment after use. Equipment is state of the art, and additional updates are added. All staff , starting wit Austin Trider, Manager, are fabulous. They are professional; very competent; and always pleasant Steve, owner, is very nice guy and there a lot. I have belonged ti many gyms over the years and Blink is definitely 5 Star facility.

    Best gym I’ve been to thus far. Amazing friendly staff, clean space, excellent selection of equipment, beautiful layout and aesthetic, awesome music, and the place fosters a respectful culture of the best gym etiquette making everyone fee very safe. Can’t recommend enough!

    A well maintained and great gym. If you're getting back into the swing of things. I definitely recommend checking out their personal training sessions. I've been working with Carissa, who is incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, and makes the hour fly by! One thing to note is that it does get crowded before/after work and on the weekends.

  • 5/5 Taeho C. 7 months ago on Google
    Great gym. Well maintained, well staffed, relatively cordial members and quite cheap in comparison to rival gyms with similar offerings. The only downsides are the by-products from its own success. The place has grown in such popularity that the worst part is how busy and packed it can feel. I recommend getting used to respectfully asking how many sets a person might have left and also being asked the same.

    Best gym around! Great environment, great members, and excellent staff. I've been a member for over a year now and I've been thrilled with the experience ever since. If you're looking for a gym to go to, stop thinking about it, this is the place to be!

    Love this gym. Glad we made the switch from planet fitness to blink! I love my new morning routine! Even at 5am the staff always greets me and my fiancé with a smile and a warm welcome. It’s always clean. They play good music I even though I usually have headphones on I still appreciate that. Great weight selection. See you guys tomorrow morning! Thanks❤️

    It’s the second time I try to do free trial at this gym. First of all free trial is for you to get to know if you like the place to do membership. The first time they did not let me in because they wanna take a picture of me and I asked them what was the picture for, and now the second time because I did not have my ID with me I could not use my free pass and do the trial. I asked if I could show my picture ID. Seriously for a trial I don’t even know why they need it. For me to be honest I have been to many others gym like planet fitness, crunch, etc and I never had problem. I will not come back, I don’t recommend to no one and for me it’s the worse method to get people in I don’t how they service in the market because they are terrible.

  • 4/5 Kathryn R. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean, wide range of equipment, and incredible staff! Unfortunately, there are only 3 squat racks which means lots of waiting, even in the morning. The staff do a great job but people still seem to struggle to rerack and wipe things down. Ultimately I left because I moved, otherwise I'd definitely still be a member. Overall a really great gym, I just wish there were some more squat racks!

  • 5/5 Mohsen H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym with plenty of equipment for $10 a month. It get really busy at peak hours but I heard they are expanding. The cancelation process is easy but they lock you into a year program before being able to cancel or pay $60 for early cancellation.

    I love this gym. I’ve been going there for about 6 months now. They have very good and different equipment. Please can we get a hack squat machine since the squat racks are usually full and a hack squat can target quads as good. Please?

  • 5/5 Cecellia T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sangeeta G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best place to get a workout without breaking your wallet! And they have an amazing staff. Can’t go wrong.

  • 5/5 Katie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had much lower expectations for a gym this affordable and commercial. But they’ve all been greatly exceeded. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Gym is clean. Facilities are fairly generous. Equipment is maintained and there aren’t many out of commission signs on machinery. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Gduba9 1 year ago on Google
    Efficiently the best gym in the Boston area! Great equipment, always clean, great members, and great music! The staff is always there to help! Austin is a great manager! Give the man a raise!

  • 3/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    The five power racks at the gym become harder to use by the day due to the volume of people, or are often occupied by people performing exercises that in no way necessitate the power rack. Staff is always friendly, price is extremely fair but its a not a gym for someone who runs a tight schedule and can't fit 3 hour training sessions into their schedule. Most of that 3 hours will be waiting for a squat rack.

  • 5/5 Jonah L. 2 years ago on Google
    Been coming to Blink for a few months now and I love it. Super clean and super friendly staff. It has all the equipment I need too.

  • 5/5 Keenan B. 2 years ago on Google
    The professionalism and personality of the staff are unmatched…these guys get it! Mark, Nick, and Austin have incredible knowledge and experience, and day after day demonstrate exceptional service with a smile. They are here day and night to answer any and all of your questions, and maintain the cleanest gym in the greater Boston area. 10/10 best gym I have ever been to. I recommend Blink Fitness to everyone and will continue to do so.

  • 5/5 Elaine J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Lauren W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fully stocked and clean gym. But it is ALWAYS packed to the gills. Even at 5 am it’s very hard to get the weights you need or the space to work out. Too bad they weren’t expanding

  • 5/5 Philip S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gym in town. The owner takes time to greet his guests and his focus is on his clientele. The staff and gym equipment are all top notch.

  • 1/5 Quentin L. 8 months ago on Google
    The gym has been great in my almost three years as a member, but they charged the wrong card on file earlier this year and continued to bill it for several months. I called my credit card company and they said that Blink was initially charging the right card and then one month went to charge an expired card. I went into the gym to put the right card BACK on file to rectify the issue and their point-of-sale system wasn't working. I haven't been to the gym now since that day for several months because it's showing I have a past-due balance, yet I'm still being billed for something that is their fault. Staff was not helpful at all and denied fault despite the credit card company pointing it to being their error. Very unhappy.

  • 4/5 Alex R. 7 months ago on Google
    For the value, it's pretty much impossible to beat Blink, though there is some room for improvement. First, the lockers inside the locker rooms have padlock holes that are recessed and at a sharp angle so that only the smallest, weakest locks can be used. The day lockers just outside don't have this problem. I'm a bit disappointed I need my own lock in the first place. My hometown community center had a nice system where you inserted your card inside the door to release the key in the outside. No need to bring your own lock! Second, I would gladly pay more for towel service. As someone who's stuck with coin op laundry, I'm already paying nearly $20/mo cleaning my own towels. I'd rather give that money to Blink and save myself the gym bag space and the laundry time.

  • 5/5 Arlo A. 2 years ago on Google
    Legit have zero complaints for this place. Staff is very nice and helpful, it's spacious now even with the new expansion coming soon, good parking, equipment. Not crowded if you go at the right times, AND there is a live capacity feed on their website. It's a pleasure to get jacked at Blink.

    Good place to workout. Sometimes gets very crowded and you are not able to do what you planned for but you manage. Wish it was a little bigger but staff are great and always clean

  • 5/5 NoZa \. 1 year ago on Google
    The Perfect Gym! I've been to almost all the gyms during my time gold's, crunch, PF, WOW, BSC Etc. And every gym although being good for working out, never felt like a complete gym! This gym has great free weights going up to 120 lbs, multiple benches more than those listed gyms. Also has an aqua bag for boxing. Along with this it has a Decline bench and hip thrust machine!!! As well as a bar set up for rows! These are items not usually seen in most gyms ans were high on my dream gym list!! 5 ot of 5 for me!!

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 2 years ago on Google
    After an absolutely horrible experience at LA fitness just yesterday, this Blink Fitness experience was much needed. We signed up for the free trial online after calling into the store and we got set up in minutes. The check in process at the club was easy and Mike was great. The club was very clean and well kept. All the equipment worked great and the locker rooms were very clean. We were just here for a day so not signing up, but it was a great experience. For the price you can sign up for a membership you get a heck of a lot more value than you pay. There are no extra sport facilities but for cardio and lifting this place is a great deal. I will definitely keep this place in mind in the future if I find another location somewhere around the country. Thank you Blink team for a great experience!

    A highly recommended trainer is my gym instructor. I've been with her for so long, and in my arms, legs and abs I've got significant strength. Every day, she motivates me to the maximum. If you want to get a fit body, just choose it!

  • 5/5 qiu w. 2 years ago on Google

    Good gym near Cambridge area They have extended weights and benches in lower level If you like it clean this is a place to go I enjoy working out here Friendly staff and plenty of equipment, just need to find right time avoid crowd

  • 5/5 Helen D. 2 years ago on Google
    Most intense workout in MA by far. The coaches are so friendly and make you work hard! It is definitely for more advanced athletes, but they welcome everyone with excitement. Be prepared to sweat, burn, and feel great afterwards.

🫤 Fantastic facility. Best bang for the buck gym in the valley. But now I'm having debt collectors from them contacting me for money I thought I paid monthly? But Superior's computers didn't charge my card on file? So I paid them, but now I'm being told I owe way more? But the staff let me in everyday...
