    Never before in google review history have I had to change a review, especially dropping it by 4 stars. This WAS a good experience at the time BUT THEN in the blink of an eye they decided to keep charging my credit card, even though I was only visiting Brooklyn for a few weeks and cancelled my 'membership' right away on their advice. So now I blinking have to cancel my blinking credit card to avoid anymore 'accidental' charges from a company that's either too blinking unprofessional, disorganized or fraudulent to answer my emails or refund my money. Don't cause yourself the aggravation of signing up with BLINK unless you're looking for more anger to fuel your workouts... #regrets #shouldajustboughtayogamat

    It is a really nice neighborhood place to work out. And frequented by a great collection of people.

    Edit: 10/31/22 - I visited on Thursday and there was no wipes. Same on Friday, same on Saturday. By this point they'd provided some torn up paper towels and spray bottles that only drip when the trigger is squeezed. Whoever is managing this place seems to be trying to run it into the ground. 2 pieces of gym equipment "on the blink" and no soap refills in the men's locker room. I was not going to add this revebt occurrence to my review, because it happens from time to time, but I've never seen it last for so long. People just swimming in 3-days-old a**-sweat as this point. On the Blink! ☺️ Original review: It's an OK gym. It's made worse by how busy it gets and some regulars who will hog equipment for close to an hour. I try to get there early to beat these people to some limited equipment, like the squat cages (there's only 2, and if one of these people get on one of them, that's like there's only 1). When I'm on that, it's to do 5 sets of an exercise and move on so someone else can use it. When these "regulars" are on there, they will spend your whole workout session doing various exercises, some that don't even utilize the equipment they're holding up. It's like they think it's personal equipment, or maybe there's a membership tier that allows members to do this without repercussion. Inconsiderate people make everything much worse.

    Blink’s great. I’ve been a member for years now and it’s hard to beat the value. But this location in particular is difficult to use. Of course a NYC gym is often busier, but no matter when I go I’m always waiting 5-30 minutes per weight machine. More than other gyms or even Blinks I’ve gone to, this location has a lot of groups working out together and a LOT of people sitting on the machine between sets on their phones. I’m not expecting the staff to fix anything, the staff is always pleasant and friendly but I mean what’re front desk people supposed to do about it. It’s a thing you’ve gotta deal with at every gym. This gym is just a little more extreme. If you’re looking for a no-frills gym, definitely consider this one. But even during the off-peak hours generously budget extra time to wait around or explore other options.

    I visit this locations early mornings and it’s always clean upon arrival. You have to make sure you get there early, at times, to get to the squat racks but they do open and the patrons are willing to share and work with you. This gym is definitely a small community within a community and very welcoming. The staff is very helpful as well. There has been an increase in thefts occurring in the locker rooms lately, the front desk staff will recommend traveling with smaller bags you can walk around the gym with (like Fanny packs) and not leaving any valuables in the lockers. Just be careful.

    Good gym with plenty of equipment, weights, machines, you name it. There's tons of cardio machines (treadmills, bikes, etc), though not as many strength training machines (tends to be one of each type with some exceptions). The reception is friendly even if you're clueless, and any plan will get you a 30 minute appointment session with one of their trainers if you need help figuring out a routine or learning some machines. Tour of the gym is free where they just explain the areas they have. Use the free one day trial before you sign up to get a feel for it first! Can be crowded especially during peak hours, avoid those times if possible. For quick cardio sessions you'll always have machines, but strength training you may find yourself looking around for an available machine or switching up your chosen exercise to an alternative to avoid waiting around. Generally nice people go there. Not the nicest neighborhood though, so maybe avoid going past 9-10pm alone. I've been there 8 or so times now and still have not tried out every piece of equipment.

    I recently went back to this location since the mandates were lifts within the city for gyms, and waow what a big difference there has been…the cleaniness of the gym is disgusting. Thera only one cleaner…the Spanish lady and she is not there on the wknd…garbage is piling up…this location is unsanitary. All before I was going to Valley Stream, which in comparison is really clean and there are workers cleaning and sanitizing the gym…nostrand location also has on odor…smdh…I to have look for another location. To prove my point I tried them one more time only because I was concern about parking at Flatlands…guess what guys they didn’t have any wipes to wipe the machines down as we normally do…why are we paying membership fees and those things are to be covered in…Not clean under our new way of life with COVID…!!! How is corporate handling this gym?

    It's an average gym and they're no longer cleaning equipment as frequently as they did when they opened after the pandemic. Nothing special. Price is good for the equipment they offer and number of locations.

    I was impressed, glad I joined. Got a really great workout. Always worked out in the city, did not want to be there too late. This location is convenient for me. I rotated on most of the machines and find the members were really helpful. Even corrected my form on one of the equipment. I like that the gym is busy and they are serious minded. Everyone is there for a purpose and not just hanging out. The front desk is friendly I would say hello to them as I enter. You do get a bang for your buck as they say.

    The associates are nice. They have the basic machines needed. The only thing that kind of bothers me is people hog the machines. They are either using 2 or 3 machines at the same time... or sitting on them forever... not even working out... messes up the flow for me. So I leave

    Not a fan of this gym at all! Only reason I use it is there’s nothing else in the neighborhood that’s nearby. I’m a member at another gym. That’s a little further away when I have more time. While I do see an effort to keep the gym clean, it’s really more of an issue of the clientele the lack of courtesy I’ve got the gym members hogging machines not putting weights away and sometimes acting like they’re in a prison yard instead of a gym. The staff either doesn’t want to, or can’t enforce the rules And to add to that at sign-up I was told for a month-to-month membership there are no additional fees just to find that I was charged a $50 membership fee annually and I’ve been reading online blink makes a dubiously difficult to cancel and tries to force other hidden fees on you. This feels like a scam.

    This is my home gym. The place is kept clean by the Staff. The Staff is very professional and friendly. They always have positive attitudes and will assist you if you need it. It is a great atmosphere to work out and get in shape.

    The PT classes are not private. Classes disappear from the package. Managers acknowledge the trainer's schedule manipulation, yet they have the audacity to refuse a refund. Plus, you have to pay a cancellation fee even after a year from the sing-off.

    Lots of machines/equipment, there is always gym personnel around to help with any questions. Convenient location and very clean. Good when I want a workout on my own.

  • 5/5 Raaed A. 2 years ago on Google
    Heard this place is great. Do they allow 14 year olds to work out with a 16 year old with parental consent tho? Should have been more specific sorry. Can I a 14 year old come to the gym with my 16 year old brother with parental consent?

    Clean gym in a convenient area with a friendly staff. Only downside is this location attracts a LOT of equipment hogs and oglers (ladies, if you know, you know). But that can’t be controlled and has nothing to do with how the establishment is actually ran. Been a member for years but that’s maybe the only reason I’d consider looking elsewhere

    Relatively clean but they run out of wipes some times. Gets very busy at peak times and some machines remain "on the blink". This has the most jacked members of the 4 blink locations I frequent..

    Nice, clean gym! Good location, great staff. The only complaint I have is that there is a nasty smell as soon as you get to the top of the stairs...not the gym funk like at Planet Fitness... It's because they're mopping the floors with a dirty mop...and it stinks! Please use a clean mop and change the water...maybe use some bleach. Thank you.

    I love Blink’s energy over anything else. Positivity is made somewhere in the back, I’m sure of it. I wish they had more equipment such as punching bags for martial arts though.

    They are scammers. Hidden payments are the main approach of Blink Fitness. They will charge much more than you expected. Don't recommend dealing with them.

    It’s alright. It’s not too big of a gym. Location is decent for public transportation and medical facilities in case you hurt yourself and food (not healthy). Place is kept clean as far as I can see the times I’ve been there. Staff is nice. Locker room is decent, showers work and their lost and found works well.

    Some of the machines had torn up cushions and missing knobs. I also got my wallet (with all my important documents) stolen from this place just recently. Be careful with your belongings.

    I just joined. My regular gym is equinox flatiron district. Since my gym doesn't have its full amenities I now go to Blink. No paper towels to wipe your brow or sweat. All the have is wet wipes and not always replenished. I did get a good workout and had my distance required.

    Don’t join this gym. Blink will neglect you, steal your money, and deny responsibility. Called to cancel membership during pandemic, March 2020. No one answers phones for months. I left many messages. I move states and never hear back from them. Two years later I get a call from a lawyer stating my unplayed balance from a resurrected policy went to to collections. Called to ask about my bill and I get the run around from collections to local franchise to billing and back to collections. When I ask why I’m responsible for Blink Fitness’ negligence I get a corporate script with no understanding and a ruined credit score. * response to owner, if you really do apologize then cancel mark against my credit and own up to your negligence during the pandemic

  • 4/5 Inquire703 1 year ago on Google
    This is a well kept gym at a convenient location. I just ask that the Concept2 rowing machines are maintained regularly (make sure the monorail is oiled and the fly trap is clear of dust). Nothing like using a rower and the seat doesn’t glide smoothly because the monorail hasn’t been oiled in months.

  • 5/5 Joel O. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff in this Blink Fitness location was helpful particularly assistant club manager Juan Ayala as he was attentive to my concerns in regards to the gyms billing policy. He was prompt with emails, knowledgeable, professional and kind. Customer service was efficient! Thank you for the professionalism and good communication skills.

    The equipment available fits the cost. Gets crowded during peak times. Can be a little muggy during spring and fall when the temp outside is moderate and they don't turn on the A/C.

    In busy hours it might get really crowded, but other than that it’s really nice. Equipment is always taken care of and the atmosphere is really nice.
