Blink Fitness

Love blink but certain times of the day there are too many people. Some of the men hog the equipment. There should really be a time limit to certain things. Nice set up, and cool staff. Of course will be returning. Wish they had bike racks though. No service in this location either.

I really enjoy coming here. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of room &equipment to choose from.

Good place to work out its quiet everybody’s friendly clean locker rooms they need more weights for the bench press other than that not bad

One of the best… if not the best gym in the Bronx. I truly enjoy my time spent here. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially my trainer Darren. I’ve never seen a gym kept so clean… someone can always be seen cleaning. Great atmosphere… to go in a get a peaceful workout.

For the price, this gym can’t be beat. It’s clean, they have a decent amount of equipment. I’m not sure if the layout makes the most sense, but it’s nothing that incredibly bothers. I am a morning gym goer (6am-​ish) and I can say that there is a decent amount of people there in those hours but not everyone is usually just focused on working out. I went once in the evening and it felt a bit to much like a madhouse for me (but that’s most gyms). I’ve also always found the staff to be really nice.

It’s a mediocre and meh gym until you try to close your account, then it’s just horrible. Went in to close my account and was still charged for the next month and some random additional charge. I went in to clarify the situation after talking to the manager who said I just need to bring in my credit card for verification and waited 15 minutes for someone to tell me that I needed to being proof of cancelation. I’m walking home now to get proof of cancelation and am livid! Why should in be wasting my time due to Blink’s incompetent staff and policies. Blink I know you’re just trying to squeeze a dollar but you’ve lost not just a customer but also a her network. I have nothing good to say about your services. It’s just a shame and a waste of my time.

BEWARE.
I cancelled my membership and months later they sent me collection notices. I’d be extremely wary of signing up here, considering that they are now trying to collect a $ 77 debt for months after I cancelled.
Aside from that, the place is always super packed after work.

I llike Blink a lot. I think it’s a great gym for the value. This location is always clean and the staff are super friendly, especially Claudia. I love how I feel like I’m working out at a gym in the Dominican Republic and there’s tons of eye candy (Baewatch as me and friend like to call it).
My only compaint is that it is super crowded in the evenings (as most gyms are), but it’s more noticeable because of the space is set up. There are inconsiderate morons who will take sets upon sets of weights, lay them all out and use them with their cronies. Good luck trying to use the squat racks, barbell benches, and even the cable stations during this time. My advice is to be a little gruff with these dudes if you wanna get in, otherwise you’ll be waiting around for a LONG time trying to finish your workout.

Make sure you ask for Anthony for personal training. He will have you ripped in no time!
Everyone who works here is a pure pleasure. The nicest people you will ever come across.

Pros:
Friendly staff
Tons of cardio machines
Clean locker rooms
Ample amount of attractive women to keep you motivated
The sell towels, eat buds and locks for cheap
Showers and plenty of lockers
Personal trainers and boot camp classes
Convenient location
Cons:
It gets ridiculously crowed in the evening. The cardio equipment is plentiful but, if you want to use anything else whether it be a bench, dumbbells or a resistance machine; don’t hold your breath.
Morons are a big problem in this place. There’s big groups of inconsiderate guys who hold down entire areas for extended periods of time. They do stuff like like take 7 or 8 different weights (mind you there will only be 2 or 3 guys) and lay them out on the floor so their not only bogarting mad weights, they’ve made it dangerous for anyone to wor walk in the area because there’s an obstacle course.
Overall it’s a cool place and I’m personally glad it’s in the community.

Previous gyms: Lucille Roberts, Boom Fitness, Ballys, and a few local gyms not important enough to mention.
Boy am I happy to have found Blink, its closer to me than every other gym I’ve ever been to.
Space: The gym is huge, three floors full of machines. I love this because even at peak hours, the gym never seems too crowded and you can always get a good workout. They don’t have any classes, so I wouldn’t recommend this gym to those that prefer them.
Staff: Friendly and helpful.
Trainers: I don’t have one and didn’t sign up for a package but I did do the free session and he was pretty good. He was friendly and took his time explaining the machines and workouts.
For $ 15-​$ 20 a month you really can’t beat it!

Pretty good gym I joined recently. The price range is pretty good love the space 3 floors. Alot of varities of cardio, weights, treadmills, stairmasters, and bikes. Some advice on the membership its $ 10 for 1location and no guest but $ 20 with unlimited guest passes. Most should ask if your really gonna have people come with you most the time but both packages are pretty cool. It opens at 5 am very convienent for people that wanna get an workout in before their daily work or school routine. Closes at 11pm weekdays and weekends at 7pm. All times pretty cool if your in the area. So if your near a Blink I recommend it nice staff that only wants the best for everyone. Also I love a gym with showers noone like to go home sweaty a nice cold shower help calm the sore muscles also scales in the bathroom little stuff like that makes a big difference in peoples goals for the long run.

Awesome Place to Work out at! Well from my point of view being here in the Morning is the Best bet! There are enough machines for everyone. Late at Night and Early morning is the Quietist. Came once at 7pm and its was Rowdy. But overall a 5 in my Book. I use to be a Planet Fitness Member. That was a Waste! And was Disgusted at how they Kept it Yuk! Never Again! Thank you Blinks for Coming to my Neighborhood.

I recently joined this gym. and for the past two weeks I have been going and I must say I am very happy with my decision to chose blink.
They have 3 floors, but I only use the main floor because I truly hate to be underground in a gym, it feels muggy and nasty.
The ground floor is perfect for me. I do my full workout on this floor. My cardio, legs, arms, and stomach, all covered in one floor which is great.
This location is closer to me than my previous gym, and offers a cleaner, cooler, and less crowded environment.
The staff is super friendly. They greet you with a smile and a positive attitude. They offer you a free training session to get started, and they give you a tour of the gym.
So far I am very happy here, the locker room is clean, and large. The staff is friendly and helpful when you need help adjusting a machine.
They don’t offer classes, but they do have personal trainers if motivation is what you need.
20 $ a month cant be beat. Gives you the planet fitness price without the awful planet fitness service or pizzas. lol
my previous gym were:
Ballys (in Fordham)
and then I switched to
Planet Fitness (in 149^st)
and then I switched to
Lucille Roberts (in 181^st in the heights)
…and now I am at Blink.

HOLY SH*T BATMAN!!! pardon my French (…wait, wouldn’t that be English? –eh who cares?!)

Boyfriend has a membership here and so I was able to get a guest pass to go with him. Let me tell you, this place may be priced like Planet Fitness, but it blows all of my previous gyms outta the water!!!
HIGHLIGHTS:
* HUGE — I believe this gym is 3 floors…(let me let you digest that). Yes, three floors filled with free weights, medicine balls, cardio, and strength machines! Have a spacious personal training area equipped with heavy ropes, medicine balls, stability balls, platforms, resistance bands, and plenty of space to do freestyle cardio/​jump rope.
* EQUIPMENT — Dare I say excellent selection? …and all in top notch shape?! They have StairMasters, Elliptical, Treadmill, and Strength machines out the wazoo! Didn’t have to wait for ANY machines, medicine balls, or free weights (the free weights may be because I wasn’t using the bodybuilding size dumbbells lol — and it must have been arms/​chest day but I was still able to get my workout in.
* DECOR — Bright lights, fun colors, great machines, floors you could feel «safe» laying on while recovering from your workout, awesome locker rooms with EXTRA lockers on each floor for convenience?! Love. (Confession: the colors in here are apart of some mystical gypsy curse! They made me want to workout out more! It’s the devil’s work I tell you, the devil! But it feels so good!)
I can’t really comment on the staff. But honestly, who gives a shit until you actually need them for something? and I haven’t…yet. This is a place to hit your workout HARD, leave DRENCHED in sweat while feeling like you’re at a great place.

Blink is great for a no-​frills, scrupulously clean, work-​out. There isn’t any pizza. There aren’t any bagels. Just three floors of exercise machines and a cheerful staff who will greet you by name. I work and live really close to Blink and it is the answer to all of my workout dilemmas. The gym is not infested by pumped up morons, nor is it a place where people merely pretend to workout. If you want serious and low-​key, Blink is your place.

Basic, clean gym. Sent one complaint to the manager and he followed up immediately and addressed my concerns. Very happy to have a gym in the neighborhood finally. I do wish there was a shorter line at the shoulder station – I guess I’m not the only one with rotator cuff problems.

i LOVE Blink Fitness!!! It opened up just a few weeks ago, and is close in proximity to my home. This area of The Bronx doesn’t have a gym, so this is a welcome addition. No matter what time I go (5 AM or 7 PM), the gym is never overly crowded and I’m comfortable doing my workouts. The staff is awesome and encouraging and there are machines for days. I’ve seen couples, families, and best friends walk through here. Such a great environment!

I work close to this location which just opened earlier this month. Absolutely great so far. Amazing introductory rates and at a no-​contract $ 15/​month (or $ 20 for a pass to all locations on a year contract) — it CANNOT be beat.
First off — no classes. This gym does however have personal trainers and lots of space. Three floors with lots of treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, and other miscellaneous cardio machines. Lots of machines and two weight areas.
The women’s lockerroom is clean, has medium lockers, and showers (that I haven’t used, but look really clean.) Still relatively few people go here as of now. I’d say it’s barely half full at prime 5:30−6pm time. Not sure how it is at lunch. There are a lot of court employees/​offices in the area.
I used to pay 3X as much for much dingier, more crowded gyms. So far, you get more than what you pay for at Blink — and I hope it lasts.

The best thing since slice bread !!! After the workout nightmare from planet fitness !! I thank god for giving us blink fitness the staff is awesome and the atmosphere is wonderful !!! I’m a blink member forever !!!
