ALL THE BLINKS I HAVE WENT TO ARE FIRST OFF CLEAN BIG PLUS, THIS BLINK IS LOCATED IN HARLEM ON A SUB LEVEL, NO NATURAL LIGHT BUT IT IS O.K, IT IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE A,B,C,D TRAIN STATION... ALOT OF FOOD OPTIONS THROUGH OUT THIS AREA, DUNKIN DONUTS, POP EYES, KRISPY KREME, CHINESE FOOD, MCDONALD'S, SOUL FOOD, FISH MARKET AS WELL BUY OR GET FISH COOKED... I WAS TOLD THAT THIS BLINK GETS CROWDED AT CERTAIN TIMES BUT IT WAS MODERATELY A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HERE, THE STAFF HERE IS VERY VERY NICE, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GIL, LUISA, SHARIMA I APOLOGIZE HUN IF I GOT YOUR NAME WRONG BUT THIS GYM WAS NICE, THE AREA ON THE OTHER HAND IS ANOTHER STORY , SO BE CAREFUL OTHER THAT GREAT GYM ,GREAT PEOPLE... LOCKER ROOM WAS NICE AND CLEAN AS WELL BUT SUPER DUPER SMALL IN COMPARISON TO OTHER BLINKS, THE STRETCH AREA WAS A GOOD SIZE WHICH SOME TIMES CAN BE A PROBLEM, ALSO THIS BLINK HAS ONE FLOOR
This is a very good gym for the price, even when you take the various hidden fees into account. Plenty of cardio machines and dumbbells, and a pretty good variety of strength equipment. Certain stations can get crowded good luck trying to bench here, but on the whole it's manageable. The space is also impressively clean. Overall, great value.
It’s fine. Don’t come here expecting to find weights in their proper place, the machine you want to use open, a flat floor, barbell collars, 2.5 pound weights, or any thing that makes a gym noteworthy. If you lower your expectations to that then you’ll have a fine time. Would not recommend to veteran lifters.
This location is really small. Blink gives you a hard time to cancel and gives you 100$ on fees. They have no customer service number and you have to wait days for response from their representatives online. Don’t waste your time or money. Planet fitness has 3 levels and lots of space and equipment. Anytime I called managers were nice and worked with you I couldn’t even get in contact with blink fitness managers
This gym has been steadily going downhill. Despite having a throng of people working at the desk, there's never any cleaning supplies on the floor. We went from having wipes to now having paper towels that don't soak in the cleaning liquid from the spray bottles to no or empty spray bottles and empty paper towel dispensers. Expect half your time at the gym being spent chasing down cleaning supplies. There's never any weights available. It's always packed with people no matter time of day. It's a waste. There's always someone at the gym who has not put on deodorant or is singing their music as loud as possible. People will literally stand on you or stare at you constantly. It's like their target clientele are people with minimal to no personal awareness.
Be aware of their monthly no comittment scam. I signed up for 2 months but the gym is always so busy that I decided to cancel my membership. The cancelation costs are payment of an additional month and what they call "annual fee" of $60. Which means I end up paying $95 to cancel my "no commitment" membership.. I am happy to modify my review if this was wrong information I received from the front desk agent but if that is really the case I recommend to avoid this gym, this is dishonest practice.
Too many hidden fees, no way to get a refund for a payment that I'm not taking advantage of again, because of fees hidden in the contract which they love to throw at your face. Dishonest PT's not the best - had 3 cancellations of the every weekly PT session that were maximum within the last 2-3 hours, if not an hour, of the session start. No way to get a refund for the rest of the service not used after the lack of proper service, because locked in to 4 monthly sessions. No where else in this day and age where I experienced no refund for returning the time/product back. I genuinely dislike this place SO MUCH. Thanks for the new years gift of horrible service and surprise charges to my card. Booooooo
Good place to workout in the morning if a worker actually shows up to open the gym. Happens too often that the early morning workers are a no-show and you’re left waiting outside in the cold. Doesn’t help that there’s no alert system through the app to tell you if the gym is actually open or not.
Today is then second time in the last 3 months that I have shown up to a closed gym with no notice on Google and the hours are listed as the gym being open. Come on. We are paying for it to be open at the hours that it says it will be open.
The staff is very pleasant but the ladies room is never clean and there's never any toilet tissue and/or hand soap.
