Blink Fitness

Great gym at a great location! Staff is always friendly & people here mostly keep to themselves as far as working out. 2 biggest pet peeves are some people’s mannerism at this particular gym. Since theirs only one bench rack in this whole facility it’s very easy for people to grab it & take their sweet time while others are patiently waiting for a turn (which is no fault to the gym itself). I just wish more ppl would be more considerate on that note. Oh & no wifi!!! Otherwise, descent gym.

New peeve: this is the only location that I visit that doesn’t offer members WIFI. Hope somebody is on that!

Awesome! From the Bronx, only 10 minutes away! Change of scenary does a body good! Not to mention the shopping next to it.

Like Goldilocks, I was looking for a gym that was «just right» and I think I found it. After years of working out at home, I finally decided to get back into a gym. I tried a couple of other places but they were either:1) too dirty or poorly maintained, 2) had clientele that made me feel out of place, or 3) too far from my house. I listened to a friend’s recommendation to give this place a try. For a free trial workout and $ 15 a month you can’t lose out. Blink is clean, clientele is (mostly) about their business, and staff is friendly. Did I also mention $ 15/​month? I would like to give more stars, but I wish there were more racks for resistance training. Only one half rack that’s usually occupied (even at 5 in the morning), and 2 Smith machines which I avoid anyway. If they add at least one more rack and have more kettlebells on hand, I would be happy to give this place a higher rating.

Although I cancelled my membership I felt the need to review this gym. First of all, considering how big Yonkers is, the lack of adequate gyms might perplex the reader. I’m shocked that I’ve yet to find a decent gym for a good price. The price here is fair. The problem is the option to bring a guest. It seems many people take advantage of this perk — they bring a friend; they care less about the ones actually paying; they stay on the machine forever while others actually have to work the next day… blah blah. The equipment is decent but not great. There are barely any machines for the shoulders; for the chest — they could do better. I will give a shoutout to the front desk/​staff; they were always very polite and accomodating. You’d be surprised how far the goes with some people.

First time here– stopped by while my dog was being groomed.
Easy parking– good visible location from the parking lot, the enclosed garage is a bit farther. Clean– AC going is a must on hot summer days. Front desk /​staff helpful. Similar equipment as my Astoria location. One big level — people wiped up after them selves. Yay!!! Only negative was the annoying guys howling and Unilocaling when I walked in… You shouldn’t assume my music is playing that loud.
Clean locker room and showers.

Nice little local gym, no frills. Wish it had Wi-​Fi though. I use mostly the treadmill and stationary bike, and there are always plenty available. Very clean, convenient hours.

I’ve been a member to blink for a couple of years now. I’ve been to a few in the city and last weekend me and my boyfriend decided to go to the Yonkers location. I work out every other day and I have to say, I was very disappointed in this particular location. This location didn’t have the stair master which is something I use every visit for cardio. The treadmills seemed like they were the very first treadmills ever made and so were the elliptical machines. The bosu was very stiff for my squats and they didn’t have up to date weights like some of the other gyms I’ve visited. When leaving after my workout, I asked the front desk person how long had that gym been open and she said it was one of the first gym opened, I told her I could tell. I’ll never come back to that particular gym until they upgrade their machines.

It doesn’t stink to rasssss like Planet Fitness. Everybody is pretty much doing their own thing including the women doing high a*s squats with their bootays jiggling all over the place.
People seem to be about their business. Summer time is almost upon us people!

Apparently this location is one of the first to open, and compared to newer clubs like White Plains and Bryant Park, I’d say so.
The equipment here is older with more wear & tear and this location can get quite busy during peak hours. Most of the staff and members are polite, however there’s a handful from both populations this place could do without.
For example, I’ve seen one of the maintenance guys deliberately lock one of the two bathroom stalls in the men’s locker room to avoid having to continuously clean it. I’ve also seen some members walk out of those very stalls and completely ignore the sinks before returning to their workouts.
For $ 15 to $ 20 per month with an annual maintenance fee of $ 29 to $ 39 (depending on membership type), this gym isn’t bad however I feel cheated here as opposed to what their newer clubs offer.

I have never been a big gym goer, I like to do my own work outs and outdoor training. But the times I did use this gym, I remember it being clean and all the equipment was well maintained. I used to go to the gym early morning, so it wasn’t very packed. When I did catch it after work, the gym was jammed packed but that’s typical anywhere you go.
I paid $ 20 a month and noticed they charge an additional fee once a year, I believe it was a $ 40 renewal fee. I was looking to cancel my membership anyway because I wasn’t going. The location wasn’t convenient for me anymore and I also have been doing my own training. I called about this yearly fee and told them I haven’t been going and to look at my file, they still charged me. I wanted to cancel via phone but they said I had to go in person to cancel and also submit a letter to the company! All this to cancel a membership?! Plus, they don’t cancel right away, my membership was still active for another few weeks. When I finally went to the gym to cancel, luckily the girl at the desk was easy going and just had me fill out a form and told me it will cancel in approximately three weeks.
So I had to consider all the other factors and not give them a lower rating just for having a difficult cancel policy. Parking, price, equipment durability, cleanliness, locker rooms, and I even believe they have some classes now, make it an over all nice gym.

I been working out for year’s now, close to twenty I have worked out in so many gyms I have always felt like I’m with family no matter what gym I go to my son was a little over weight now a yonkers fineness now to my surprise my daughter and my ex-​wife wanting to get healthy the fact my 17 year old wanted to ok yessss so I chosen BLINK online so happy about the fact of daughter wanted to start working out I was KICKED OUT of BLINK GYM in yonkers one week after in signed up kicked out by the manager and escorted by mall security omg wtf kicked out I was in insulted offended her reasons were she said it looks like I am being paid for working out or showing my family how to work out after she confronted me and I told her the situation she could have looked into her system and see that all the last names matches so for those fathers out there with family members who want you to show them don’t go there mothers who want to take there kids to a gym to show them how to be safe while working Blink Gym in Yonkers is not recommended as I tell my friends in the gym world who also like to work out and family members who ask them that if they can show them how to work out could not believe the situation that occurred they could not believe can you believe they Actually thought I would charge my ex-​wife the mother of my three kids and my daughter really this manager At blink gym in Yonkers however I must say the front desk staff are very pleasant

Cheap price ($ 20 a month, I think), clean, young and friendly clientele. If only they had free weights, like a squat rack, bench press, or any barbells. The dumbbells go up to like 80, maybe.
I was hoping to find a good gym that would fit both my wife and I, but unfortunately it’s not happening yet. — Blink is great for her since they have the basic equipment and she is a casual lifter, but it’s impossible to train legs well (no squat rack) or lift heavy. Luckily, right next door is POWERHOUSE GYM, which I’ve been going to for years and love. I hear good things about Blink in Manhattan having free weights… haven’t been there yet.
It’s a good gym, just wish they had free weights :(

I’m new to Blink and this is a really nice gym and for only $ 15 a month. The front desk staff is always so friendly and I am there when they open at 5 am so great job guys. Lots of cardio machines and plenty of of weights for toning. Very clean too. All around good gym. Too bad they don’t have classes, they would be perfect.

Been going here for almost a year. Tons of cardio machines if that’s what you’re into. I wish there was a stair master. and another smith machine (only 2) and another incline leg press. but I can usually get my workouts in even if it’s crowded. For 20 $ a month it’s a great gym.

When Blink first opened, management really kept on top of things.
The place is still clean, yes, but I’ve noticed it’s not as clean as it used to be. Still, it’s head and shoulders above other area gyms for its cleanliness (a priority for me).
The staff has had so much turnover that it’s no wonder things have become a bit inconsistent.
The staff here are very nice regardless, there is plenty of equipment (esp. cardio), and it’s very conveniently located.

If you go to planet fitness then and you have a car, you need medication. Blink fitness is the step up from planet fitness, it literally cost like 5 bucks more, it’s well worth it, it’s not the gym to end all gyms but cardio and some weights, it’s the GED of gyms lol, p. s this is only a review of this particular location,

I’ve been a member of the Yonkers blink for 2 year now and would like to credit it for helping me lose 30 pounds. I used to love the Yonkers blink, the staff was so friendly and it was filled with just the right amount of people, never too crowded. I’m sad to say the quality of the Yonkers branch has since significantly deteriorated. The machines are often broken, there is almost always garbage laying around in the machines, it is crowded beyond belief enough so that I find myself waiting 10 minutes for people on their phone on the machines and the staff is super stand offish and not welcoming at all. I’ve seen blink change management over 4 times since I’ve been a member and this is the least welcome I’ve ever felt. What went from Gym time being the highlight of my days has turned into something I dread. Regardless I will still be faithful to blink and find myself going to the Murray hill location which is a breath of fresh air compared to this mess.

Blink wins most of its points because of its abundant equipment it has. There’s never a wait to do cardio and they have 2 of most machines so there’s never a waiting problem. In the evenings it gets a bit crowded, but most gyms do. The locker room is small but I’m always able to get a locker. Hey, the price is right and it’s clean so… overall good gym.

I have been a member of Blink Fitness since August 2011, and my experience so far has been great. It is such a great deal for a gym which has all the equipment you need. I’m not a vigorous gym junkie, however I go there for toning and the equipment is always sanitary. I like the idea that they have sanitized wipes located throughout the gym and I’m surprised that the gym membership is ONLY $ 20 a month! I go to both locations (Yonkers and NoHo NYC) but for this price, it’s amazing! The staff there is totally friendly and not so snobby like in other gyms I have been to…
Blink also have these guidelines on suggested workouts depending on what you want to focus on, toning, cardio and I forgot what the third one was, but if you go there, find out!
The women’s bathrooms are not gross, which I think won me over completely when I was taking the tour at the gym. They keep everything absolutely tidy, and usually members keep to themselves, I have never had a bad experience at Blink such as out of order toilets, gross showers… etc.
So if you are looking for a gym for a really great price and being greeted by awesome people who will keep you motivated to keep coming back, Blink Fitness is the gym for you! Also, they have just started personal training programs where you can get a trainer for your workout session. So if you need a kick of motivation to stay focus on your goal at the gym, you can sign up for that too!
