I go early mornings or late at night. There are two parts to the gym. You can power lift in one and do regular workouts in the other. All amenities are available and no waiting. That's the best part. I can get in and out.

I joined this gym in November of 2021, I originally joined because after speaking to one of the…read moreowners JC, he ensured me the gym was a dog friendly atmosphere. I have stayed all this time because it became more than a space to train and hang with my dog, this gym connects you to an amazing community filled with so many great athletes. Powerlifters, weight loss coaches, booty building coaches or just generic training athletes. This gym has so much to offer, there are tons of squat racks in the powerlifting room and an incredible amount of machines in the body building room you will not find in commercial gyms. There are foam rollers left and right and I've never had an issue with anything with this gym. One of the owners Gus is pretty amazing at fixing things so you will never really see a machine out of order for any longer than a few short days. There's a vending machine in both rooms, one is for drinks like Gatorade's, pre workout cans and water. The other is filled with protein snacks, bio freeze patches and mini deodorants! These change periodically, there is an outside vendor that comes in to restock and change what these vending machines offer. So much variety! We love. If you are in the area it is worth a day pass for sure, these are purchased ahead of time as someone from staff will need to coordinate to let you in as this gym gives all members a personal key fob to enter. Love the 24/7 access!

I have been a paying member of this gym and have generally enjoyed the facility, but my recent…read moreexperience with one of the night-shift employees was extremely disappointing. I purchased guest passes so I could bring my son to experience the gym. Instead of being welcoming or professional, the employee openly expressed that he did not like my son and stated that he would refuse to sell me guest passes in the future. I found this behavior completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Guest passes are offered by the gym as a service to members, and personal opinions about a member's family should never influence whether that service is provided. The employee's comments made both my son and me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I expect staff to treat all members and guests with respect, regardless of personal feelings. Management should address this issue and ensure employees maintain a professional attitude when interacting with customers.

As I mentioned in my previous review, I think the only knock on this gym is that there is not…read moreenough cardio equipment but all that being said it's a lifters gym so that makes sense. The place is always clean, weights are always put away, clientele is always for the most part working out, not carrying on with conversations or taking or making their own video production of their workout because they're an influencer, which don't give me wrong they are still here, but they're far a few between the other gyms. They offer ready-made meals, every kind of protein drink that you can come up with along with waters a place to sit and rest so you really can't go wrong with this gym. The owner Dave, his wife and the staff are all really really, really nice people.

this gym isn't that bad. I only chose this place because I hate packed gyms. I had a 24 pass before…read moreand it's ALWAYS packed. I'd rather not wait in line to use a machine. It's very small but has enough equipment that people aren't just sitting and waiting for people to be done. They have different promotions every month for each tier of their membership but I just did the lowest one cus it's $17 and I live very close by. I haven't used the gym to its full potential cus I'll only do stair master or a machine or two. I just cancelled my membership today bc I haven't been going and I rollerblade so that has been my work out. They charged me $17 to cancel my membership It was a good run, maybe I'll rejoin later. Also the ownership changed and the app doesn't work anymore which is kind of wack.

**Extremely deceptive billing and cancellation practices -- stay away from Blink Gardena**…read more I strongly recommend staying away from Blink Gardena. My experience with their cancellation process and billing has been absolutely unacceptable. Here is exactly what happened: **February 27:** After I moved away, I called Blink Gardena and asked to cancel my membership. They refused to cancel it and told me that I was required to continue paying until I had completed the full one-year commitment. I was unhappy with that, but I accepted it and continued paying as they required. **August 3:** After fulfilling that obligation, I called Blink Gardena again and clearly asked them to cancel my membership. A male employee at the front desk told me, **"Okay."** I had every reason to believe my membership had been canceled. **August 4:** I checked my account and discovered that immediately after my cancellation call on August 3, Blink had charged me **another annual fee for a second year.** So I called them again and asked a very simple question: **I called yesterday and you told me my membership was canceled. Why did you charge me another annual fee immediately afterward?** What happened next was unbelievable. The **same male employee who had told me "Okay" the day before** then demanded that **I provide proof that I had asked to cancel my membership.** Seriously? I was speaking to the same person who had personally taken my cancellation request less than 24 hours earlier, and now he wanted *me* to prove that the conversation had happened. How is a customer supposed to provide "proof" of a verbal cancellation request made by phone to your own employee? More importantly, why should the burden be on the customer when Blink should have its own account records, employee notes, call records, and billing history? The sequence of events is very simple: I asked to cancel after moving on February 27. They refused and required me to keep paying for the full year. I complied. On August 3, I called again and was explicitly told "Okay" when I asked to cancel. Immediately afterward, they charged me another annual fee. When I discovered it the next day and complained, the very employee who had accepted my cancellation demanded that I prove I had canceled. This goes far beyond poor customer service. In my experience, these billing and cancellation practices are **extremely deceptive and predatory**. Making it difficult for customers to leave is bad enough; charging another annual fee immediately after a cancellation request and then pretending the customer must prove that the cancellation request happened is outrageous. If you are considering joining Blink Gardena, **document EVERYTHING.** Do not rely on a phone conversation. Get cancellation confirmation in writing, save every email and screenshot, record the date and time of every call, and closely monitor your credit card or bank account afterward. I would absolutely never recommend this gym.

Relatively clean for the most part but from pictures I have seen from the other reviews, some of the weights are a little banged up. I am okay with this as long as it doesn't fall apart on me and the gym is kept clean, particularly the showers. I believe the premium we are paying for the gym is particularly for the cleanliness which after being at 24 hour fitness and la fitness, I understand how disgusting those places can be. Parking - Large parking lot - in the morning parking was pretty easy to park but I am sure this locations can get packed during the afternoon/night time.

I've been going to this location as a trial for a week and I was able to experience a good amount…read moreat this location. I think the experience really depends when you go. I've gone at the wee hours of the night where there's not a lot of people, so there's more parking out in the front. I will say that the section where there's bikes, treadmills, and the pool area is much cooler than the side that has the weights an the basketball court. It's a big difference in the way it feels as if there's little to no air conditioning on the weights side. It feels very musky and difficult for one to really exercise in. Personally, it seemed like it's a clean gym. I've seen a worker even cleaning the vents up top which is much cleaner than my actual gym that I go to which is EOS. So I thought that was a plus. And the women's bathrooms is always on top of it, or at least from what I saw. I liked that this gym has a little daycare place that you can drop off your kids for a maximum of two hours. Not sure the rates, but it seems like a good deal for anyone who needs their kids watched while working out. I've taken two Zumba classes in the rooms and I absolutely loved the fact that the dance room is large. It gives people enough space to move around without feeling like you are in their space. I've worked out at 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's Gym, EOS fitness, and the problem with those gyms is that the classes are just too small. With that said, the only thing is that sometimes the instructors are talking to their fellow dancers (in Spanish) in front of everyone. I'm okay with it cause I love my Latinos, but I can see where someone might feel excluded or may not understand. Which was okay with me but something I just noticed. Parking isn't bad when I came late in the evenings, but during peak hours, it was rough. A lot of people were parking on the red zones or places that I don't think you can normally park. Sometimes across the street or a bit farther down where Best Buy is. I didn't get a chance to park in the parking structure but it also seems very inconvenient for some. My two cents for this place. Not bad, but also not the greatest. But I feel that you'll have to pay more for a better experience. This is, to me, good enough for what the rate of this gym goes for.

They have plenty of stair masters, ellipticals, bicycles, machines, free weights and 3 racks that have platforms. Bathrooms are nice and spacious too. I ended up getting my own membership so I can come whenever. Overall we're a month in and we're glad we got our memberships! If you've been thinking of doing it, this is your sign to do it.

It's horrible really suggest that the owner come in and clean house find people that want to work not have an attitude greet you with a smile the way it used to be back in the original days cuz you don't even get told hello you don't get said Thank you nothing it's horrible.
