The best budget gym in the neighborhood. Friendly staff always smiling when you enter, and overall the entire gym is clean. It can get VERY busy at peak times, but if you come during off-peak you will have the run of the place. Most of the clients are respectful and courteous as well, but as with most gyms you get the occasional person who is oblivious to anything but his/her cell phone. There re no towels or anything like that, but seeing it is owned by Equinox, they are interested in investing and protecting the brand. Best gym in the neighborhood by far! read more

Check your contract before signing: You need to cancel IN PERSON or via CERTIFIED letter. There is ZERO reason for this other than predatory business practices, especially during a pandemic. Literally every other business can function completely remote, and y'all can't do online cancelations? TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. read more

I actually like going to this location the ones in the city are crowded and narrow. This location even though square it's not annoying except on Wednesday's (the after work crew, yeah me too). I wished they had a couple more free weight areas for bench pressing and squatting, but it works well for me I just go real early on the weekend. Don't forget the membership is decent if you catch a deal. Other than that avoid the meat heads leave the ladies alone (they're there to work out too I hope), and make sure you work out properly and don't hurt yourself (wipe off your sweat when your done). Happy workout at Blink. read more

THE BUSHWICK LOCATION SHOULD TAKE NOTES. This is how you run a gym. Plenty of WORKING machines to go around. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. ETC. I really think BLINK should look into the Bushwick location because after attending this one I am shocked at the difference. Also, the other clients there are great and friendly. ZERO misogynist meat head types here or on staff as they are all at the Bushwick location. read more

This gym is a crook! Stay far, far away! I came in as a guest in January and they sent me an email stating I can pay 1 dollar for the rest of the Janaury to workout. They then stole my information and signed me up for a monthly membership, and charged me $120 to cancel. They refused to refund me my money or waive a cancellation fee. I hope this gym waste of a gym go out of business read more

I love this gym! It's similar to other lower cost gyms ( I.e no towels, shower gel, etc) but the friendly staff, awesome layout and great space totally make up for it! The gym is right off of Flatbush Ave. The majority if the weights and cardio equipment is on the second floor. They have tons of free weights, and 1 of each of the main types of weight machines. I sometimes have to wait for a weight machine, but no longer than any other gym. They have lots of cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, etc). My only beef is that they have the VERY basic models, for example the ellipticals don't incline. I probably wouldn't have noticed, but I can't run for a few months and it's sometimes difficult to get a good cardio workout on the machines they have. So it's a good basic gym, but the things that make it great are the friendly staff and the open, sunny layout. The staff, especially the 2 guys in the morning, are super chipper and friendly. They greet everyone with a smile. That's rare in NYC so I don't take it for granted. The space is amazing; there are windows surrounding the entire second floor so you get tons of natural light. No basement gym feeling. The atmosphere actually makes me look forward to my morning workouts! All in all, no complaints about this gym. Keep up the good work. read more

Edit - found the water fountain! Still not my favorite location but will go in a pinch.

This is my favorite Blink site. Most other Blink sites are often packed to the point in which you don't have space to work or even walk around. When you're sweating like crazy you want you bubble of space to work, this place can give it to you. It has a nice combo of machines, free weights, 2 smith machines, and 3 areas for bench press or squats. read more

This gym is horrible. It seems more of a pick up spot instead of a facility for health and fitness goals.. The towels are two dollars and I do not believe the trainers are certified. The manager didn't even know how to instruct me to count calories on the machine.. I had too find out for myself.. It stinks and the customer service , desk people seem to always be having a bad day.. one young lady AMA was pleasant and helped resolve a cancellation that was long overdue.. you can't cancel over the phone because you have to speak to a mood lifter who again has the only attitude.. Men with attitudes, go figure!!! Ugh!!! I say why take a customer service job when you cannot grant the least common courtesy to the client!! Ugh!!! read more

I was a member at this gym, and I have to say it is very well kept very clean. The staff are very polite and greet you when you go in. The machines are always clean and the areas are well kept. I like the fact it was never over crowded and you are able to workout at ease. I may be back. read more

I've been coming to this gym for over a year and they have the Best staff ever!! Even with everything happening now, they are always professional, with a smile and ready to handle any situation! Thank you for making my experience extremely amazing, day in and day out! read more

Please read this for anyone who is thinking about joining this location at 833 Flatbush Ave. I, as with another yelp subscriber on here by the name of S.N., have been at this gym since 2016. Like S.N., I dealt with some minor issues (like staff constantly vacuuming under my feet no less, by employees Kadim and Ty, faulty equipment, etc ) (Ty, a crew member, is still there and annoying as heck...I'll get to that in a moment.) It is just a normal gym, most folks there are cool and polite when it comes to sharing space. No problems at all. There was this one member/customer that refused to move his bench OFF the back ext machine even when he wasn't using that particular machine. I did finally complain about it and yet no one really helped me...other than Ty trying to reason with the member before walking away and "smiling." I finally took the bench and lifted it off the back ext machine myself and did my routine. Any so, yeah, whatever. Around that time as I was dealing with a death in my family and greedy, shady relatives--not the best time in my life. Not the gym's issue but just saying. But BEFORE THAT, I'd already dealt with an employee by the name of Kadeem, who also used to vacuum under my feet as well, who would later get a little too close for comfort by constantly walking my way and chatting me up...of which this went on for over a year. I finally walked away from him when he tried to say hello; A FEW DAYS later he finally quit working at Blink. Thank you Lord. But that wasn't really the issue folks, NOT AT ALL. It's the management. It's been the management ever since I've been a member. Earlier on after I initially talked about a problem w/ a machine being broken, I began to feel that the staff at the desk weren't as friendly, maybe I was wrong, but it annoyed me. I hardly ever got a greeting from some of these employees. Anyway. Years later. Even when another member/customer who would approach me and act all weird in order to get my attention finally was either made to leave or finally left his membership shortly after, I still had issues with management. Ty was usually nice to me in the past even after the vac fiasco...but then would act all weird around me which made me uncomfortable...even when one of the handle bars fell on my head right in front of him. He did nothing to resolve the issue and just walked away. So yea, whatever. So screw it....management never really has helped me in dealing with these issues in which the MAIN complaint started with the weird member of who staff members would tell me that he wasn't "right in the head" no less. I finally told Bryce the NEW manager (since Blink seems to have a high turn around with managers) about these concerns even w/ issues of some of the employees cleaning and vacuuming way too close to us members. Bryce seemed cool towards me and said he'd talk to his crew about these concerns. I simply obliged and thanked him and told him to not mention my name. THE NEXT DAY, another employee (a hispanic female with a buzz cut and with a bun) vacuumed under my feet. Yes for the third time folks. I finally told Bryce I needed to cancel my membership. He quietly obliged (probably in relief that one more "problem customer" is soon gone) and had me pay a fee to LEAVE. Got it. I'm still allowed another month to attend this location since I already paid on the first of February. Quite honestly, I believe that the management should be the ones to LEAVE and not me. Like I said before, most of the gym members there are very decent folks. I only stay there for an hour or less...I'm not looking for trouble and this location was so close to home. Blink you have a serious management issue when it comes to your crew. Did I mention that Ty (who apparently clocked out around 5pm on a Sunday a few wks back) walked right by me on Caton and Flatbush and yelped "OH MY GOOOD NOOOO!" as I was walking back home from shopping. I issued a complaint about that last week to Bryce and to Blink corporate as well. And so TODAY, Bryce and Ty were walking and laughing right by me when I was at the jungle gym. So, Blink-- do you not see the issue here? And why did you close my recent complaint without ever notifying me? I believe this is merely getting rid of a "problem customer" and nothing more. The reason why you can not speak to anyone from corporate on the phone is because many members have had similar issues with management at their location. Anyone who's had any issues w/ management please notify me via this app. Also, like Ty, some of these employees like to stop what they're doing and watch TV. Happens a lot and I usually didn't care...until now. I have pics to prove it. I'm being a narc....so? And your employees are low quality. Let's just be honest, this is a low fee gym, and customers get what they pay for...low numbers of equipment, broken equipment, and crappy employees. Bare in mind: this is the hood. read more

By far the worst location I have ever been to. They have tons of cardio equipment and barely any weights. There were 3 cable machines on the floor except 2 of them were missing hooks for the attachments so they were useless. The lack of equipment caused long lines for the only two barbells in the place. Closing my membership as free this visit. read more

Best gym for 20$ I have ever seen. Staff members are always positive. Hours are okay for me. Showers are clean. Lots of cardio equipments. The only problem is dumb members. They don't rerack, wipe out and they use their phones while we wait for them. read more

So for context, I'm not really a people-person. I like to go to the gym, say hi really quickly, do some stretches, some cardio, some strength training, some cool downs and then go on my merry way. This gym is pretty perfect for that, in my experience. That said, you get what you pay for --and no, I don't mean the $15-35 they advertise on the site, I mean that and all the other fees Blink charges you. People leave equipment all over the gym, there are limited machines (there are two row machines in the whole gym), limited HIIT equipment, and --depending on the day, wipes and tissues all over the place. This is less of a criticism on the gym/ staff and more a criticism of my fellow gym rats. Get it together, folks. I love you but... come on. P.S. Blink if you're reading this I'd love some punching bags in the gym. :) read more

I really regret joining this gym. In a rush to find something near my house I signed up. Seems like it'd be great if you want to casually run on a treadmill once a month, but if you want to lift free-weights this place stinks. There is only ONE BARBELL in the ENTIRE GYM. I repeat, ONE BARBELL! There are two Smith Machines, but those things are mostly worthless. Forget about being able to work in some benches or squats at peak hours, because the barbell will be tied up. I went so far as to contact management about this and they basically told me "tough luck." That said, if you're content with casual workouts, this might be the place for you, but if you're looking to actually build muscle, look elsewhere. read more

Ok I have to add one of the first mixed reviews. Want to be clear that the service, cleanliness, vibe, and price are all five stars. The reason for the three-star review is the lack of barbells. On every visit - and I've been trying them for a little over a week, so that's 4-5 visits - there's a pileup at the (only) squat rack. One of the great things is the free-guest-passes-for-life with the $20/month "green" membership. The downside is that everyone brings in their own freelance personal trainer, and to-a-one they all jam up the squat rack. So, easy fix. Best: just buy another rack. But I know that's expensive. Acceptable: buy one more bar. I mentioned to the staff that I found an Olympic barbell on amazon for $110, and they were a little dismissive. I'm not a passive-aggressive guy, so I'll continue to mention it politely to them. Final thought is about marketing and 80/20, which is about getting the max return on your investment as a business. I understand a gym like Lucille Roberts not shelling out for free weights - their target market is women with little interest in barbells. But blink is clearly targeting more serious fitness people and personal trainers as well. Otherwise, why pay for an entire wall of dumbbells and one squat rack? It comes down to a "if you're going to go to all the trouble to X you might as well Y" type of thing, like paying 85 grand for a Mercedes then being too cheap to change the oil regularly. Blink already sunk an impressive amount of money into this place to attract members like me, so they might as well spend the 200-2000 dollars necessary to make it a Perfect experience. Just think of all the members not sure whether to commit and jump ship from their existing memberships, and every day they spend waiting for equipment while the clock ticks down until they're late for work. No-brainer, guys. read more

If I could give them NEGATIVE STARS I would. This gym is a SCAM and has no problem inconveniencing it's customers. If you want to cancel you must go in person or MAIL in the paperwork. In addition, the cancellation takes 45 DAYS to go through and in the meantime they charge you a "pro-rate" of about $9. They also have a "MAINTENANCE FEE" that was charged to my account without my notice, for equipment that I will no longer be using for the rest of the year. read more

I've only been to two Blink locations(other one being in Boerum Hill) and this is definitely the better location. Well laid out. Spacious. Clean facilities. Friendly staff. No complaints! read more

David at the front deskk should be trained on customer service etiquette and there is never a supervisor on shift if theres a issue. If you forget you access pass you will be denied if its David but ive been there and workout without a few times because they checked their system. Turned me completely off and im cancelling my membership. read more

Exceeded my expectations! I live in Park Slope & I didn't want to pay Park Slope gym prices (~99$/mo), so I make the commute here on weekends. Everyone is friendly/respectful, facility is clean, mixed crowd & easy to get to by bus or train. If Planet Fitness is the McDonalds of gyms, then Blink would be a Shake Shack (..if that makes sense), both still "fast-food" nevertheless. read more

Great no-frills facility, very clean, with a friendly, helpful staff. Quite a few members could use some lessons in gym etiquette -- not wiping down equipment after using it, talking loudly on their phone, sitting on equipment texting while others wait -- but that's not Blink's fault (although added attention to floor management would be nice -- the entire staff tends to congregate at the front desk). Very reasonable membership price. No WiFi. read more

Walking distance to me. Pretty good gym just wish there was more things like in nysc but then it would cost more so I understand.

I REALLY like this blink gym! Long story short, I had been signed up to the YMCA just a few blocks from it, for the past 1.5 years, and this is leaps and bounds beyond my experience at the Y. The only pros of the Y was that there weren't all those many people and that they have an ample supply of towels in dispensers, while the cons were pretty much everything else. I took the time to take a free day pass to blink, to see just how much I was missing out because there just had to be better out there right? I went to bink and was shocked. Pretty much if you cut Blink into 5 pieces and kept only one of them, that is the entire size of the YMCA versus blink which has 2 floors of state of the art (I think?) equipment, bumping tunes to listen too, way more weights, nicer bathrooms and lockers etc. The kicker with all this, is that the YMCA costs nearly double what Blink does! Also the YMCA here allows you 2 passes for friends to join you for a lifetime. A literal lifetime man. Like, legit, if you were a member of the Y over here until you died of old age at 180 decades, you could have only had 2 friends visit during that time period and after you use those two passes friends have to pay per visit. Blink allows you unlimited friend passes for one friend. This one is a no brainer folks. The only reason YMCA in Flatbush is able to be a serious competitor for blink, is that Blink just started up. Arguably speaking if both of these gyms opened at the same time and everyone knew well, what each of them offered, Blink would beat out the YMCA, hands down. Thank-you for coming to Flatbush to save me money, introduce me to the modern gym, and provide me with motivation to actually go! lol read more

Pros - the gym is awesome CONS- the staff. literally its a hangout spot in the front and then when they get off they workout and hog the machines together or invite their friends to workout with them. its one thing to workout with your friends ( men and women ) its another when every moment theres a loud conversation taking place in a large group of people who again work there! hospitality sucks btw smh. read more

Clean facility, friendly staffs and it's not overly crowded all the time so def one of the best blink locations to get your work out done!

Although I am very happy with my home gym. I went here to pay a visit with a friend. He was in search of a new gym to call home! There is a walk up or you can take the elevator( for the lazy ones lol) to get to the actual gym. This place is huuggge! From first sight, you can see pretty much everything on the first floor. The layout is great, the place is visibly clean. We were given a tour by a trainer who was very helpful and of course selling my friend on the benefits of joining this gym. Overall it was a pleasant experience. read more

Beautiful gym. Miles of every conceivable machine. Love the Life Fitness treadmills and ellipticals. Perfect for me, active senior! Air is clean and cool which I need for cardio. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Sierra, who signed us up, was just great. We felt right at home. Everything is very clean including machines and restrooms. We live nearby so it's super convenient. We work out in mid-day, when it's empty, but told it gets crowded after 5. We could not be happier. read more

It's cheap and you get what you pay for! Customer satisfaction is what you will loose when you join this gym. I just moved from the New York area to another state where there is not a Blink location. Although I was on a plan that requires a buyout if you terminate membership within a year, I thought certainly there would be an exception for customers who are leaving the program because they are moving to an area where there are no Blink's. They seem to be more interested in taking the $60 buyout than ensuring customers do not leave with a bad taste. I have the $60 to throw them, but my business, I will never give or endorse with my friends and family. read more

I love it herr..smells good everyone is friendly and they have a variety of grate equipment

I just love this place!!! Blink is so close to my house, I cannot stop to come every single day, staff are so nice, gym is very clean and comfortable. I used to go to Bally but they just smell super bad , but blink is different. Even tho they have a lot of people but the place always clean! I usually come at least 4 days a week no matter how tired I feel after work. Btw, I just wanna say thanks to all super nice staff! Thank you for always smiling whenever I come in (feel so warm especially after a long day of work), and keep the place very clean and comfortable! Thank you very much! read more

First time at this gym... Thought that the first impression would be great as far as someone showing us around or give us a little tour around to show us where certain equipment was and where the lockers are situated for our things. But that was not the case.. We were not accommodated and basically had to figure everything out on our own. There were too many side conversations amongst the employees and not enough attending to. read more

People beware never been their gym. Paid membership fee and 3-4 monthly fee. I decide to cancel membership and they took me to collections for a service I never used. Stating I owe them $104 I think. I owe you all nothing. Stop messing with peoples credit. This is not funny. read more

This is one of my most favorite places to be! Regardless of the weather, time of morning( I'm there as early as 6am), her mood, etc...Ms. Pauline Quintyn ALWAYS greets me with a warm smile and good cheer. When she's not welcoming the members Ms. Pauline can be found cleaning, stocking supplies or just taking care of business!!! My other fav person here is personal trainer Joe!!! He knows his stuff and is tough. Be warned, if you're not serious about your fitness goals don't call him!!! #thesefolksmakemyday read more

Love this gym! Staff is great since I started I have had no complaints. Love the layout and the locker is always clean along with the floor. Very convenient and affordable! read more

Clean, friendly and BIG by NYC gym terms. Lots of cardio machine and free weights (although they're on the heavy side. ie- I use 15lbs one and there's only one set of them in front of the mirror!). Lots of windows that let light in and give it a very open feel. I felt comfortable with others working out around me. Wasn't too meatheady- a mix of people. I go during the day so I can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. read more

I will not recommended Blink Fitness for people who wants to register to Blink Fitness in Nostrand avenue because they lier, they are not telling true about plan and they cheating on people. They cheat on me. I signed 1 year contact, and i did not know about contract because assistant said you can cancel anytime when you want. Its all wrong, they lie about their plans. If you want to cancel membership like me, they charge 103$ like me, that's why I DON'T LIKE THAT PLACE AND I WILL NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYBODY. read more

Good gym and good price, cancelation is really easy, and really awesome staff, that will answer all your questions and help you out. The gym is clean and really nice. Only complaint is that they only have one cable machine, and mostly weight machines. Which I personally don't use. but still recommend this gym. read more

Exploitative business practices including with deliberately slow/difficult to cancel contracts. I cancelled two months ago and paid all required fees but was still charged a recurring fee of $60 despite being assured multiple times that I had covered all costs. I have contacted customer service to no avail and am disputing what is essentially theft on their part with my bank. read more

Not sure what it is but this gym has always motivated me to work out hard. Maybe it's because people who work out there just seem that much more ripped/ in shape, or just dedicated in working out! The facilities are clean and the people here are nice. Monthly payment are fair and the hrs are convenient for me. Check this place out if you haven't already read more
