The Canarsie Blinks gym definitely deserves better…read more It's one of the few gyms in the area with a significant number of Black women, which is important because cardio equipment, in particular, is lacking and outdated compared to gyms in other neighborhoods, even ones just miles away. For example, the Blink Fitness at 2166 Nostrand Ave, near the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Junction Road, is much better than this location. Additionally, the Blink Fitness at 81 E 98th St in Brownsville offers a better experience with updated equipment and a more accommodating atmosphere. The equipment at this Canarsie location, on the other hand, feels worn out--loose, light, and ineffective. Some of the treadmills and step climbers are either broken or overcrowded, and there just aren't enough machines to meet the demand. This gym serves a lot of Black women in a predominantly Black neighborhood who depend on reliable cardio equipment, but I've noticed many of them are forced to go elsewhere. It's frustrating because a good gym location should serve the people in the community well, and this one doesn't seem to. I also had a strange experience in the locker room: there was a guy with a leaf blower drying the floor, and when I walked past, he yelled at me for walking on the wet floor. This was really off-putting. I understand he wanted the floor dry, but using a leaf blower seems like an ineffective and unprofessional method for a gym. I've never seen anyone use a leaf blower in a gym, and as someone who worked as a custodian before, I can tell that a mop or towel would be much more effective. It just added to the overall sense that this location isn't up to par. On a positive note, the lifting equipment is fine if you're into weight training, and the staff downstairs is friendly. If you're looking for something quick to drink, there's a dollar store nearby that sells energy drinks and water. I also like the smoothie and bowl shop across the street. It's frustrating because, with all the great supporting stores around, there's no reason why the equipment here can't be updated to better serve the community.

This is an incredible facility. Honestly I can't believe the service that I received!…read more Pros: - Gabrielle helped me book a coach (and we had a lot of back and forth and she was so patient) - The courts are incredibly clean, new and the nets are in great shape too. - There are showers to use with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. - The other staff offered us rides back to our hotel! Wow. We declined and ordered a taxi. It was raining and they even tried to stay until our car came so that we would be cold instead of shutting shop and going home! - The price is incredible $125 for a semi private indoors. Other NY lessons I called on were $150-$400!!! - Here comes the best bit. Our AMAZING lesson. My husband and I are good players (rated 4.5) but this man MAJORLY improved our game in ONE HOUR. His name is Arcadi Edelman and whether you are a beginner, advanced, a junior or adult - this man will make a powerful difference in your game. Fast. Cons: - You need to bring your own towel for the shower. - No water on the courts.

The "Stand Up Cable" has been broken for over a month and they never fixed it. It would have been fixed if the gym was in an affluent area. We, the people, demand better.

Planet Fitness Carnesie located at 856 Remsen Avenue, Brooklyn NY,11236, is highly dishonest!…read more I was at that location April 15th 2023 where I cancelled my membership. The manager was there and claimed he did it for me. Come to discover that each month since then they have been removing membership frlee from my account. I call them today and was told that the membership was never canceled and that they cannot issue me a refund for all the months they have been removing fees, though the fault isnt mine and I have not set foot in that establishment or used their services since April 15th 2023. They further advised that the only way cancelation can occur is for me to physically come in..again...to get it done and they will continue to remove money from my account until the cancelation is done. I am not physically in NY at this time and for the life of me I cannot understand why they just cannot do it on their end. Why did I cancel in the first place? When I joined the gym I was told they had personal trainers. I started going in March 2023 and discovered they had none. I was advised by the manager that the last trainer no longer worked there and they would have someone new within a month. I don't know how to use gym equipment so I was glad to have the personal trainer services to help. I decided to biew youtibe tutorials in the interim.and I would take my tripod with me and set it up.and look at tutorials on my phone. April 15th I was advised by a staff member that tripods went against their policy...I explained i wasnt recording i was looking at a tutorial..she continued tobsay it didnt matter, tripods weren't allowed. I wrnt downstairs where I found the manager, and told him why I was using the tripod and asked for an update regarding when the new trainer will start. He advised me then that they decided to no longer offer personal training services. I told him that was not communicated to me and wasn't what I was presented with as a benefit of joining the gym and I requested my membership be canceled....false advertising, not communicating with their customers. I re-download their app to remove my banking information to avoid them taking more money out...come to find out, I am unable to alter or remove my banking information. This is so grossly dishonest if you ask me and horrible business practices on their part. I have sinced filed a complaint with the better business bureau, requested a stop payment from my bank and also filed a dispute with my bank for the prior charges and the current one. I have not stepped a foot in that gym since April 15th..the manager either is all out liar or plain dumb because all this time I am thinking the membership is canceled and enjoying a better experience at a new gym meanwhile they keep taking money outta my account. One thing for sure, I've now learned I need to check my bank statements each and every month..or I could have stopped this months ago
