For me, I wanted to gain upper body strength and tone my midsection. He would push me, but was considerate of my limitations and would plan an optimal workout session taking these aspects in to account. No gimmicks and no lose weight quick schemes here. He is very supportive of his clients and makes himself accessible after hours, especially when you're first starting out because the first month of starting something new, is always the hardest. He'll keep you motivated and his facility is very clean. If you're looking for a personal trainer, look no further!!!

After Blink closed the Linden location, I wound up having to go to Irvington as the next closest…read morelocation and well, it's less than ideal. My drive is twice as long (clocking in a little over 30 mins in the morning rush hour) and involved going through a lot of twists and turns from Elizabeth. Not fun. In contrast the Linden location used to take me 15-20 mins after a quick ride down to the 1-9. Oh well. Irvington is a medium sized gym. It's much bigger than the location in South Orange but not as big as the one that was closed in Linden. The check-in counter is located at the entrance and the young lady behind there was very helpful and understanding about my situation. For some reason the Blink app never loads for me anymore so she was kind enough to look me up to get me checked in. She mentioned since Linden's closing there had been many people coming from that location to this one. I only wound up doing cardio that day but I could tell as I worked on the treadmill that this gym has a lot of dedicated visitors. Many people were talking to each other like old friends and there was a lot of focus, no horsing around and (thankfully) no tripods with cameras on them. All the equipment was being cleaned as I worked out so the staff is attentive. There was a good sized cardio area and a good amount of weights (as many as they could squeeze in). There is also a training/workout area you can use for stretching or body weight exercises. Honestly if Irvington was closer to me I'd probably go more but the distance and drive are both factors I have to take into account. If you're in the area though this is not a bad location to get your work out in.

I find that this gym is one of the smaller blinks I've been to. They don't have many of the…read moremachines that I've grown accustomed to using, such as the lower back extension machine. I do prefer coming to this location early mornings. It isn't too packed and the wait for certain machines doesn't last too long. Like most gyms, you should exercise patience coming in the evenings because it gets veryyy busy and since machines are limited, you'll end up doing some waiting around. The staff aren't as warm and welcoming as they are at other locations, and there's hardly ever anyone at the desk upon arrival. They do a decent job at maintaining the cleanliness of the gym. Everything seems pretty on brand for blink.

I like that the emphasis is on weight training. The instructor goes over the exercises, which are displayed on the screen (short clips that show how to perform them in case you forget). There are 4 stations, and 3 exercises at each station. I've been to other studios that offer similar circuit training classes, and they do a really great warm up here. You start at different stations and rotate every 10 minutes. It's a dynamic class, so you don't get bored. I really appreciated Coach Jabari. He's really personable, and helpful. He monitors your progress/form, and offers really helpful advice. I was struggling through some of the workouts and he gave me a modified routine that was suited to my fitness level. He also has great playlist. I highly recommend this gym, and can't wait to return

I can't wait to get to my body goals with his help. Even better he has flexible hours to fit everyone's schedule.

I did the unlimited trial for 3 weeks at studio 509. Definitely worth the money (currently $50)…read more You get access attend classes both in-person and virtually as well as access to that weeks video recording of classes. I attended over 14 classes by either medium in this time. It was a great way to try out a bunch of classes to see what you like. I am personally not a dancer (beginner) and have done more yoga and there were plenty of options that weren't intimidating. The instructors I met were all very nice and welcoming. I'll include my two cents on each class below- but note as I said I am a beginner dancer and I also did not read the descriptions on the website before booking, i usually signed up through the app. *Fun tip for shy or dancing-intimidated people you can attend classes virtually first (or watch the past recordings for that class prior) if your are unsure of the difficulty level before you sign up for in person. Check the schedule before buying the trial or classes, there are not many afternoon/evening classes especially on the weekend. Pilates - Loved the pilates classes the most, attended several in person. It's not on the reformer machines, its on matts. This was doable and lightly challenging with my existing exposure to yoga. If you have no exposure, as with many of these classes, you'll catch on after a class or two. Dance Fusion - If you are a dancer or were a dancer in the past this is probably the class for you. It's a lot of choreo and you learn a routine during the class, line up in paris or groups and do the routine. Too hard for me but I didnt read the description prior and attended virtually so it was fine. Thrive - This was a fun calm dance class, lots of older ladies there. it incorporates chair yoga, dancing, legs and arms work outs. You can still work up a sweat and get your cardio in but it's not high intensity. Groovefit- I think this was my second favorite class. It gives zumba vibes Totalfit- cardio/aerobics and weights, not too hard. can get sweaty Ballet- I attended 1 session virtually and it was not too hard considering my lack of experience. I think they had people line up in the in-person sessions and do leaps/ sashets one by one etc, I would have been nervous doing that. Overall I had a great time attending classes at Studio 509, this deal was totally worth it. Highly recommend
