    Stopped in from out of town and very much enjoyed this gym. It was pleasantly and surprisingly well equipped, clean, and the employees were very kind and professional. Also a plus was the number of disinfectant stations.

    Great gym and amazing workers. Although, there is a white old man who stays on the stair-master machine for hours almost everyday. He approached me once in the middle of my workout to yell at me for my mask accidentally going below my nose and told me that I am the reason people die. I always mind my own business, but it is very uncomfortable knowing that he is on the stair-master machine looking over at everyone in the gym for hours and I always have a sense that he is looking at me. Also, funny thing is that half the people at the gym keep their face mask off, yet he decided to only yelled at me while I am doing my own workout away from him.

    I sure do love Blink Fitness! I never thought I would feel this comfortable and happy in a gym. The staff is great and friendly and the other people that go to the gym are just normal people getting their workout in. Try this gym; you will love it.

    Nice gym, good for its pricing. If you're an Evanstonian you are likely to see some familiar faces, especially during summer time.

    The staff here were super friendly from the beginning when I first walked in and asked for a tour of the facility. The gym is clean, organized and well equipped. The members here also foster a good comfortable environment to work out in. If you’re looking to get into strength training I’d recommend talking to Ben, one of the trainers there. He’s great and has helped me go above and beyond with my strength training goals. I can say that he’s been the best trainer I have had. I’ve been a member for almost a year now and don’t think I’ll be changing gyms any time soon.

  • 5/5 Nick M. 9 months ago on Google
    High intensity interval workouts led by qualified trainers with a focus on heart rates. You can modify workouts to your fitness level, but it's challenging and likely not ideal for just starting out

  • 4/5 Bradley A. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent value, especially for beginners and fitness enthusiasts. It offers all the standard equipment and features you’d expect. The facility is clean with new equipment. No lingering gym odor! There are quite a few teenagers, some of whom use their phones to record workouts or play games. Additionally, the absence of a water bottle filling station is inconvenient; using a regular drinking fountain with low water pressure can be messy. It’s surprising that such a well-funded gym overlooked this commonly used amenity.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 8 months ago on Google
    Alex was super nice and helpful! I checked out two other local gyms but he was by far the best staff member I encountered. The gym is a good size and the equipment worked great.

  • 1/5 Laurie K. 5 months ago on Google
    I’ve been a member here for 10 months. The gym is new and clean but unfortunately, the staff is young and unhelpful. I have been lied to, by two different staff members, hung up on by one during a phone call and another laughed in my face while eating a banana when I asked to check the lost and found for my airpod case that disappeared from my locker during a visit. Ethically I just can’t continue to support a business that demonstrates such lack of care and concern for their customers.

    This gym has amazing staff and well taken care of equipment. Gym fees are cheap and i try and workout here every day i can.

    Big fan of Blink, they have everything you need from beginner to advanced. Nice staff as well, always welcoming and helpful throughout your workout. Big fan! Update: Still big fan

  • 5/5 Maxie E. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome workout. I was new to this facility and the coach made me feel welcome while also safe. Parking nearby and seems like a great community. I will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Walters T. 1 year ago on Google
    Trainers are great and the workouts definitely help you burn the calories. Also, this is a great alternative to gym rats who hate cardio. Though you’ll definitely get your heart rate going it doesn’t feel like the usual boring workout session.

  • 1/5 Candace Russell Notary Signing Agent, L. 11 months ago on Google
    I was a member for close to four years. Within that time my membership remained at the same level. For two of those four years I was randomly charged amounts other than my monthly membership and annual fee (example: $61.99, $22.99, $123.98...). I spoke with multiple managers regarding the unauthorized charges and was told time and time again it wouldn't happen again. Unfortunately, for the past two months I have been charged over $100, each month. After leaving messages for Tracy to help me resolve this and not receiving a call back I took to Twitter, Instagram and even called the 800 number in hopes of having the charges reversed. Finally, I disputed the charges with my bank only to find out someone within Blink's billing office contested my dispute saying the charges were authorized. I am currently out hundreds of dollars for unauthorized charges that I was assured would be reversed. Even after suggesting they delete my current account and re-open a new one in an attempt to separate myself from whatever software/ id10t issue is taking place on the back end, they have done absolutely nothing. I suggest anyone signed up with Blink check all their bank statements closely to avoid going through this nightmare of a situation.

    Good location, nice and clean. Staff seems engaged and interested in helping the gym-goers. The machines are cleaned frequently,so it feels relatively safe. I'm seeing improvement!

  • 5/5 Raymond A. 1 year ago on Google
    Everybody knows your name, from the staff to the members. I look forward to going to the gym as it will not be an anonymous experience and can be very social if you want it to be. Everyone is encouraging to each other and it's a positive atmosphere. Recommended!

  • 5/5 Star M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. Frequent it daily, sometimes 2 times in a day! But this day was upsetting. Many people were outside waiting in the cold in April for 20 minutes before they finally left. Many cars waited a full hour before giving up. The gym opens at 5am and it’s closed. People pay a lot of money for consistency and this was the 2nd morning this week that staff arrived late or not at all. That was a bit upsetting.

    I love this place. My favorite gym💫 I just hope that they replace the water fountain cause it’s really a bad one! Oh! And wonderful staff too 💝

    Just joined a few weeks ago and I am very happy with the place. The instructors are fantastic. Love getting my workout here.

  • 5/5 Shawna M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been on the powerlifting program at Blink Fitness for a year and a half now and I cannot say enough good things about it. The environment is so welcoming and you feel like part of a family!! Most definitely a second home for me.

😐 Great membership price but the problem is we have less machines for bodybuilders than cardio machines. For example, there is only one Sando machine always busy. At the same time, we do have a lot of treadmills inside, nobody uses it?!!!!!

👍👍 I was greeted so kindly by Jayson at the front who told me what to expect for my free trial workout. Sunny was the instructor and made it fantastic! OTF splits the class into two areas: floor and tread (treadmill). The first 30 you’re interval running or floor exercise with free weights, body weight...

🫤 This is a great club but why can’t we work out until 9pm? Closing at 7pm… why? Please give us at least another hour or two 02/11/23 I just got here at 6:32pm and they locked the doors so people can’t get in anymore. No stretching or sauna today. Knocking another star
