my experience with blink today, the assistant manager has zero control over his staff. There is a child like staff member that is poorly trained and has zero customer service etiquette. Name starts with an A She is tooo immature to be at the front desk. Be careful-as she has access to personal formation and that's is alarming. Hope the new company ( pure something) has better hiring requirements. Keeping her is a bad idea . read more

I've been a member of Blink fitness for going on about 5 years now and since I've moved to Baldwin, had to transfer my main location in their system. I stopped by a few weeks to finally make it official and they made the transition as seamless as possible. I mentioned I had actually lost my key pass a while back and they generously hooked me up with a replacement for free. While the parking lot is usually busy, I've always managed to find a spot pretty close to the entrance. Whenever I go, there only seems to be about 15 or 20 people there max. Keep in mind, I'm usually there in the evenings at about 6pm on weekends and super early in the morning during the week. I'm sure right after week is must get pretty busy, but at most gyms that's to be expected. The staff are always friendly and the there's always someone attending to lose weights that gym goers may "forget" to put back. The one thing I'm not the biggest fan of is the roping off of the water fountain, but while annoying, I do understand it is a precautionary measure for covid. While this Blink is way smaller than others I've been to, they do have a real nice selection of machines and cables, as well as a few key stretching apparatus', which I don't normally find in other gyms. Thanks Blink, see you early tomorrow! read more

I find this location to be convenient, clean and friendly. The patrons clean up after themselves religiously. The bodies in here are impressively motivating. The air is light and easy on your lungs. Let me know if you want to meet up here in the AM. read more

People can bring their own speakers and blast their own music in this gym? to think I saw it all. Staff did absolutely nothing but use their phones in the front desk. I left because I could not focus due to the shenanigans. This gym is ghetto. read more

This place used to be a good gym until the new manager, Dulce, took over, who is incredibly nasty and unprofessional. and the new equipment is crap, it is a planet fitness with blink colors read more

I've been going here for a few weeks now and I'm already a bodybuilder. I'm actually here right now and feelin like Arnie shwartnegger. I like this gym cuz it's good vibes but the water fountains are broken like 40% of the time. And btw I'm massive now read more

Blink is definitely my favorite "chain gym" ... it's something about the smooth colors and cool choice of music that make Blink my preferred gym. I go to the Blink at Baldwin in whenever I'm staying in Long Island. I have absolutely no complaints: the staff is super friendly and the gym is always super clean. During the height of the pandemic, before restrictions were lifted, they took social distancing, capacity limit, and sanitizing very seriously. The gym may seem super crowded, but keep in mind that this Blink has a one floor layout. Pictures were taken as I was suffocating on the stair stepper, haha. read more

I've been coming here for 8 years and loved this gym. It had taken a dramatic decline in the last few weeks. Today, at noon, a bunch of us waited outside for the locksmith to get the lock open. They took out all the life fitness machine and replaced them with about %30 less Matrix machines so the wait for a machine is now increased. The staff said they replaced many of the machines with lifting benches. The new machines are not as ergonomically comfortable to use. You feel too short or tall on half of them despite adjustments. The friendly staff says they don't know what's going on and they know things don't make sense. Please consider bringing back some of the old life fitness machines, there a lot of room on the floor for it. read more

I've been coming here for years since it's opening and it's always been the same. I like coming here it's close to home and it has working equipment. It's not a big gym with a pool, sauna, indoor gym, or anything that places like X-sport would have but it doesn't matter to me. Honestly I love just walking in doing what I need to do in there and leaving. Everybody inside here community wise are very respectful to each other. I've never had or seen anyone getting into any disputes over a machine here or anything. The staff are cool and they are eager to help answer questions you might have. What I also love is they don't try to force things down your throat like places like X-sport does. It's a chill environment. It's kept pretty decent in the cleanliness department, even the bathrooms are routinely maintained. I've neve had an issue here with anybody not once. As I said earlier it's not a super fancy gym but it is a reliable gym and it does have what you need to feel the burn and in peace... read more

Clean for a busy gym, staff is friendly upon entering, gets the job done. Could be pretty crowded in the evenings.

the conditions at this location have drastically declined since the passing of the beloved manager. the new manager is really the worst i have seen in all my years of being a member. she (dulce) is the epitome of unprofessionalism. to say the least...she is atrocious, offensive and intolerable. numerous staff members have called it quits since her arrival, and many members have left or planning to leave. something needs to be done, and fast; dignity needs to be restored, and that will be virtually impossible with her there. read more

This is the worse gym ever. I was meeting a friend so we can workout together and my friend was showing me the right technique. A fitness coach came over and told my friend he can't do that I would have to sign up for training with one of their fitness instructor. read more

I don't know who put new management in charge but they are doing an absolute dreadful job at providing a safe and enjoyable environment for myself and others. It is utterly disgusting to call myself a member of this gym with the way management has treated me and even their own staff. It is completely unsanitary, the ambiance is off, and cannot even be considered a gym. It is more like a recreational center for farm animals. I am never bringing anyone again and suggest people follow my league for their own sanities. read more

Went back to this gym due to its proximity to my house. Big mistake. Equupment needs to be updated - old noosy gritty treadmills, risted ellipticals, staff leaves a lot to be desired. Ratchet. read more

It is a basic gym. I think they have stepped up the cleaning and customer service since the pandemic. I only advise people to prepare by checking how crowded it might be before going. It can get crowded sometimes. I came over from LA Fitness 4 yrs it so ago for a change of scenery. I'm still pleased. I have the premium membership and use others when J am out of town but Baldwin is my "home" gym. I prefer it I over Broadway Mall and Farmingdale branches. read more

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Gym is very clean! There's always people walking around sanitizing the machines and equipment. Plenty of disinfecting wipes so the consumer can wipe down the machine or equipment they are using. I've been coming here for 4 months and never had a problem or issue. In fact I highly recommend this gym. My only complaint is that there's no sauna or steam room and after a good workout that steam room would be great! read more

I be coming to this for 4 years, good staff, trainers are always there to help. I wish it would go back to 24 hours during the week, gym be so crowded in pm which makes it hard to get a good workout in read more

I have attended to Blink Baldwin for 3 years. I love the staff but Sandra is my favorite one, she is one of the most hardwoker that I never see. She always keep the place clean and super organized for us. I appreciate her performance and sweet smile every day when I see her. read more

Have been a member almost a year. Tonight I decided this was no longer the gym for us. So many issues that I can't ignore anymore. Extremely judgmental front desk. When you talk about the members be sure they are not in earshot to say very discriminatory language. The gym smells bad. Parking is ridiculous. Even the handicapped parking is always full with members that have no placard or plate because they know nothing will be done. Gym is too crowded. Not enough machines with too many members sitting at machines on their phones not using them. Again, staff is not friendly, curt, borderline rude. Unfortunately it's just not a pleasant place to go or be in. Still waiting on my so called free personal training session. Think I'll go to a more personalized training facility. Don't BLINK or you'll miss anything nice about this place. read more

Nice gym, friendly staff and place is kept very clean. COVID 19 protocol in place. Not too busy either. Everyone minds their own business.

So I decided to leave my current gym to try out Blink Fitness! I walked in to an employee assisting me right away. She gave me the two options I can pick for my membership. And suggested which is the better and safest option. Which also happen to be the cheaper plan. I filled out my information on the computer, got to take and choose my own pic #Selfie, received my membership key holder card(color of my choice) And was set in 5mins or less. I also signed up just in time to receive 1 free training session. Which I booked right away. I love the fact that they are opened at 5am so I can leave my son at home sleeping while I run there before work. Because unfortunately they do not offer any childcare services. Altho the have an area for more mature kids to sit and perhaps do homework while they wait for mom & dad. My 4yro would never sit still in that area. The memberships to choose from are very inexpensive and convenient!! Soooo excited to start tomorrow.....since I didn't carry any gym clothes with today! read more

Nice and clean gym. The people sometimes talk on their phone way too loud or take up spots while they text but that's just people nowadays

I became a member of this Blink location about a month ago. I've been to other local area gyms such as New York Sports Club, LA Fitness and Crunch. I decided on this one for its convenience (about 5 minutes from my home) and the price ($20/month and this includes a guest with every visit). I debated whether I should take stars away because this is really a bare bones gym - no pool, studio, or classes. For the price, you really can't expect much but for a few bucks more a month, you can at least get one of those amenities from Blink's competitors. Crunch, for example, offers almost the same pricing and guest privileges but they have the plus-up of having classes and large studio (just sayin'). Anyway, besides the location, I love that Blink has a ton of equipment and weights so that there's never a wait for a bench or the majority of their machines. For the most part, the folks that frequent this gym re-rack their weights and clean the machines after use. There are also custodians cleaning throughout the day. That's a huge deal for me because I can't stand gyms that are allowed by staff members to stay messy. In terms of equipment, I can't complain. I mostly do weight training and barely touch the cardio machines but there's so many of each cardio machine that I'd be surprised if anyone ever had to wait for any. The weight equipment on busy days/times are usually free. The one machine that can have a bit of a wait is the assisted pull up machine. There's only one in the entire gym so there's always someone using it. Overall, if you're okay with "just a gym" and live in the area this is a pretty good contender. For $20/month, I get to visit other Blink gyms (non-NYC) and there's also a Blink Baldwin only price for $15/month. Beware though, if you want to cancel before a year, there's a penalty charge. I was a member of Crunch beforehand so I'm used to gyms making you fly through hoops to cancel and Blink's policy is actually not as bad as some I've seen. read more

So dirty! Every other blink fitness is kept clean especially due to covid but this place is disgusting. Other blinks have people walking around cleaning the machines every so often, the staff at this place does not do that. read more

So excited when I walked in the gym this morning to see the new equipment. I enjoy this gym. Great for locals or if you work in the area. EverThing is updated and moderate. This is a clean gym. Plenty of personal trainers. Downside no classes. But how much can you expect for 15/20 dollars a month. read more

I really like this gym so far but the one thing I really don't like about it is the fact that there's no type of juice bar where you can get like a post or pre workout drink but overall I love it read more

In my opinion this is the most spacious Blink I've been too compared to Blink, NoHo, Manhattan 30thst street, Sheepshead Bay, Melville, and don't even get me started with Jackson Heights and Astoria. I consider the facility better than Murray Hill and Murray Hill is pretty dam nice. I can't wait for 54th too open cause it should be nice up there. Now enough about the facade and nice gym equipment. My beef is with the clientele. The patrons are rough around the edges and have no gym etiquette in my opinion. How does one ask to work in with you on the cables but completely change the position and weight of the set up. It didn't happen once but majority of the time I have gone to Baldwin. Having like 10 people around or using one machine can be pretty annoying too. The place has enough equipment and space but some people are just set in their ways or just want to inconvenience other people just cause they can. All I have to say is I can't wait for Valley Stream to open and if it's a similar workout environment then I would have to start entertaining the competition such as LA or the Sports Club...maybe 24 doesn't sound to bad at the moment after their acquisition of Bally's. read more

It's an alright-bare-bones-nothing-crazy type gym that has memberships for $15 and up. If you live nearby, it's a good place to get your workout in if you go at good hours (not after work). There's no frills, but you're paying $15, so. I'm moving and it cost me $60 + prorated month rate ($74 total) just to cancel because I canceled before being a member for a year. Frustrating that the cancellation fee itself is the equivalent to four months membership. Come on, give me a break! Luckily I joined Orangetheory Fitness in RVC last month and have been addicted to it, and now that I'm moving out of state, they have locations nationwide. I'll stick with them. read more

It was extremely clean and airy when it first opened up less than 2 months ago now they barely clean and its cramped read more

Blink Fitness - Baldwin - Gyms Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Brand spanking new and pretty decent. It's a bit quant but gets the job done it had what I need and friendly staff. Offers 2 types of deals a $15 a month or a $20 a month. Nice and quiet if your looking to just work out in peace and quiet then I recommend this place. It's clean doesn't smell and you can bring a guest along. The bathrooms and lockers are also well kept far better than most other gyms I've been too and although it doesn't have a pool or a basketball gym like x-sport I still prefer this place considering x-sport is full of lying cheats who will deceive you into.signing up and screw you over. I gave 4 stars because it's a small place that's the only reason really. read more

Clean bright gym, plenty of cardio equipment, never a long wait. By 7:00, this place is jumping. I dont mind a busy gym though. What I've noticed is that most of the people put back their weights, a practice that is not familiar with the other gym I go to, Synergy. The club manager here does walk throughs. Makes a huge difference. When people see that, they will care too, I think that's why people rerack their weights, it's a new gym, it's real clean, I think current members want it to remain that way, myself included. I love that its walking distance from where I live, big plus for me. read more

Plenty of equipment and the gym can be very busy during the after work rush hours. I've been coming here for a year and it's fine. The only thing I would mention to improve is that they keep the wipes dispensers filled & trash empty. There really is no reason for it given it takes only a minute or two and there's always one employee on their phone or talking. read more

If only this gym didn't smell so bad!!!!! They have so many good things going for them. There's plenty of equipment and I never feel like it's too crowded but come onnnnnn. This gym literally stinks! read more

I've been using this facility due to the fact that the one in Valley Stream has yet open. I've been waiting since January for this to happen. Other than that it's not as big as Xsport or LA Fitness in Roosevelt Field or have all the equipment I'm use to but it's doable. Actually even more affordable than those gyms. At this moment it is ok and so far it's clean and organized. And because it's not as big there is certain equipment they only have one of. So if someone's on it, you have to wait your turn. That can be annoying at times. read more

I was visiting for the week, and found this gym. It's the perfect place to get a complete full-body workout! I wanted to spend the entire morning here.

It's a nice gym, has tons of cardio equipment and is pretty clean for the most part. This gym can get very busy during peak hours though. It's also nice that the gym has a guest pass and is open till 12. The gym does not offer classes which is something that I'm big on. read more

Best gym around! Great price and very spacious. I had the opportunity to work with one of the top trainers Paul who made my experience at this club awesome. Definitely recommend this club specifically and Paul for training! read more

Very tricky place if you sign for Personal trainer. They will continue to charge your credit card even after you asked them stop the service. My assigned personal trainer Paul told me everything is set after I told him I will not continue the private sessions only to see a charge in my credit card. The manager then told me I did not sign the termination paper and that's why I got charged and there is no going back to get my money for the service I did not get or request. I stopped my membership as this is cheap marketing trick. They can only outsmart clients for short period if this is their business model. Be careful. Abraham read more

The Gym Itself its ok, the equipments too, the staff's at the entry friendly, if you know how to workout you're good but if you're going for a personal trainer i've seen them they could use some help themselves not the best professionals i've seen. read more
