Blink Fitness

as for customer service, in reference to the front desk, some are ok… especially the gentlemen. so that new manager there is horrible, the other females. i jusy walked in and they didnt even look up, and this happens all the time. all of them everytime im walking in kr leaving, one is talking her personal life on the phone and paying no mind to the clients coming in or leaving.
new review! (i swear im having second thoughts on even going to this gym anymore)
11÷08÷15
i attend the gym mid morning. as i am done getting dressed into my work out gear, (luckily for me) this dude just waltz right in to the womens locker toom! obviously not seeing the «w» sign! i just looked at him and he walked right out. i mentioned it to the front dest and the dude, (he seems to be ecuadorian or colombian) — (cant miss him, he has long black hair) and as i mention to him that a guy ealked right thru the womens locker room he looked at me and has the nerve to tell me «oh, i wasnt in the front desk and didnt notice anyone going over there» i went off on him! not only did he leave the front desk unattended (anyone can ealk right in and commit a damn crime) there was a theft before in this location! and he just stands trhere and looks at me like im an idiot and to no avail, no response. i will write a letter to corporate so they can at least hire better management and better employees who just dont stand around and hide out in the managers office and who need to be more vigilant with the front desk. let alone management and employees are rude. will respond soon to new update.

Joined this gym in January for my New Years resolution and canceled within 2 months. Gym was too messy for me. Members had no ettiquette and seemed that all the male members were interested in was picking up a date instead of working out. The weight room was a cluster-​F***’!!! Manager was never there for me to complain too.
Rejoined a few days ago and the gym is under new manager named Tabatha and it’s very noticeable and refreshing change. Seems that the employees are enforcing appropriate gym ettiquette and the new staff is dedicated to cleaning the gym and making you feel welcomed. Trainers too, are new and very approachable, unlike previously. I can now see myself working out here long term. Thanks Blink for changing this squad to a classy one. I highly recommend this gym.

I’ve been using Blink Fitness for about 2 years at many different locations (Harlem, 40^th and 6^th, 116^th street and the one near Yankee Stadium) I decided to give this one a try and although it has not been open for long it already looks broken down, like they don’t take care of it or the patrons at this particular Blink just don’t care. It has a strange setup that is different from most Blinks. It was my first time trying this gym and on my first try, my locker was broken into and money was stolen. I had put a lock on it, so they either clipped or broke the lock and took cash and a metrocard from my wallet. They left all my IDs and everything else. (I am going to be filing a report with this location). This location makes for an easy escape for thieves because the lockers are located on main entrance while the actual gym is on 2^nd floor.
Avoid this location or be very very careful with bringing valuables with you. I have learned my lesson and will never return to this location. I like Blink Fitness as a whole, but ghetto people gotta do ghetto sh**, which can ruin the experience that a good business can provide. Go to the one in Yankee Stadium if you can.

Very clean place, affordable and great staff. Giant TVs you can watch while you workout. Purell wipes nearby to wipe machines before using them. Wished locker room was on second floor instead of main entrance.

Good gym, nice staff. Some of the machines seem to be in the wrong place and it’s not all that big. But for ¹⁵⁄₂₀ dollars a month I can’t really complain. Wish it could offer classes.

For $ 20 a month I get my money’s worth and then some. It’s got pretty much all the equipment I need, and I go early in the day when there are less people. I love that I always see the same crowd, it gives a feeling of belonging to a place. The one thing I don’t like is there isn’t enough space. There is an area with a rack of barbells and dumbbells and a few benches, but not enough room for me to have space for my workout between me and the next person. I’ll probably start taking what I want over to the warm up area.
Otherwise, it’s clean and I haven’t met any of those people who just sit and text on machines. I don’t use the shower because I live down the block. It’s a really great place so far!

So far so good. I’ve been to a few other gyms in the area and this place isn’t that different. They have all new equipment, for now. It won’t take long for gym newbies or over zealous «enthusiasts» to destroy the equipment. On the opening day, people are working out with jeans. Seriously? And talking on the phone when the rules clearly say no cellphones. Maybe they need to translate them into Spanish– the locals can be a little unruly. Most people aren’t even working out but lost in the wide screen HDTVs.
This place is essentially 2 floors with the locker rooms on the entry level. No dressing rooms, so be prepared to show your goodies. No vanity area for hair drying. Just the mirrors at the sink.
With high Spanish speaking population, English only speakers be prepared for the discrimination. I plan to update this review in a few months.
