Its a small gym, but they have most of the essentials you need to get the job done. Of course being small has its downsides. Finding an unoccupied machine on Mondays and Tuesdays is hell!! Get ready to have people waiting next to you while you handle your business so that they can have a turn. The staff, however is very friendly. More...

So I love this gym, it's great but I'd like for someone in charge to see this. There's only two bench presses, and no incline benches. I'd like for them to add some more as well as actual incline benches. Another thing, since there's only two benches some people have to bench on the squat racks with those adjustable benches which suck because they rock in and out and hurts your back. I'd like for them to order some more flat benches that you can move around or a few more benches. It'll help and have people in and out faster! Other than that, it's a great gym and very cheap prices! More...

What may not be clear going into the personal training industry is that some gyms do not pay hourly pay, you only get paid when you sell a package of training sessions so basically you get paid by the customers not the company. You technically work for yourself and the company provides you a venue to do so. Environment and work staff is friendly and very flexible but if you're not aggressive with sales pay could be unreliable. More...

Amazing gym and well priced. Clean and people are incredibly courteous. I don't know why, at the time of writing this review, I am seeing the average as 3. 5 stars. Only listen to my review. Brooke who trained me was spectacular. I highly recommend her. The staff is wonderful. More...

If you’re a personal trainer, you get a base rate of $25.00 Hour but compared to the price packaging of how much each client pays to the gym that only calculates to 11% that the trainer takes home in their check before taxes

Gym is spacious and clean, plenty of machines and free weights. Staff is welcoming and always willing to answer any questions. Restrooms are clean, and the gym is usually empty when I go which around 5am. Only one issue with this place and it's the fact they don't open at 5am on weekends, other than that for the price you pay this gym has everything you'll need and more. Also, there's a pavilions next door if you need to get some groceries on the way home. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone on the fence. More...

This place is new, clean and very inexpensive in comparison to other gyms. Sometimes it gets busy, like any gym in any city, depending on the time you arrive but the waits are short if you just gotta get on that station (I just jump on another open machine or free weight station. ..it's a big place). If something breaks, they fix it fast. Plenty of room, plenty of gear for everyone. A staff member always seems to be engaged in some sort of cleaning chore anytime I'm there. Parking is sometimes packed at night in the strip mall but I recommend parking on the far end and walking in the whole 20 parking spaces away. You are coming to work out anyway, right?I saw a lot of bitching and whining on past reviews. This is either the local competition trying to undermine a great facility or its the typical California complainers that will complain because there is a smudge mark on the door glass when they walked in or, God forbid, a gym member actually cleaned their machine after use with a disinfectant wipe and some of the cleaning agent was in the process of drying when they went to use the machine. What a bunch of wimps and cry babies. I guess it would be better to sit in a big sweat mark like the other gyms around the city. These same whiners are usually the ones sitting and relaxing on the machines while talking on the phone, texting or doing a shitty Yelp review about the place. I love this place. More...

Great machines and equipment! I love the interactive trails on the elliptical that make me feel like I'm on a hike when I'm at the gym. Uplifting, bright feel, except for too much Fox News on the TV screens. The place is very clean, though lately I've had to remind staff to refill the the cleaning wipes and sanitizer. They should monitor that more. It's getting busier, but still most days I'm able to use what I'd like. Wish it had later hours and had a filtered water bubbler. Overall, it does the trick for a really low price. Just hope it maintains the plusses and works to improve itself. More...

Nice gym and the only gym I'd like to go to in The Heights. Relatively clean. Quite busy during lunch hour but less busy off peak. Lots of equipment and spacious.

The place is very neat and clean. All the workers are very efficient and welcoming when you enter. When ever I'm exercising on the machine I always see someone wiping the seats and making sure all the sweat is wiped off so the next person can comfortably sit down on the next. The showers are very cool and stylish. If the locker rooms had a sign that said women and men it would be better than the M and W. When I first started I didn't even pay attention and I was wondering why they were letters on the wall and walked right inside the M section only to promptly speed out of there when I finally understood the meaning of the M. But anyways it is a nice place to work out, try the free day pass and see if it fits you! More...

Ok I actually really liked this location. It's about the same size as the other locations but less busy even around 5pm when the typical rush is. I was able to use all equipment/ stations I needed without having to wait. My only complaint is that they lacked smith machines which are really essential for serious weight lifters. I would like to see at least two more in the gym and less cardio machines- not many people I saw, used those. Overall satisfied but if it's a day where I need to do deadlifts or squats, this won't be the location to go to. More...

This is you basic gym. It was dumbbells that go to 80s and you have your squatting and benching pressing spots. I don't know why people are rating it one star for lack of amenities. ..all gyms are different and this one is def catered for people serious about working out and not hanging around. It's clean but I do feel like the front desk should inspect the equipments more and oil up some machines...I also found a black widow last week. I am rating it a 4 star because all the front desk staff tend to be on their phone whenever I am there. I pay 10 dollars a month for new equipments and open space. Happy with the gym! More...

I'm visiting the area and tried a few gyms that are available on the Silver Sneakers program for us oldies on Medicare.  (I should note that Blink is open to everybody, not just oldies! But they participate in the Silver Sneakers program.) Blink is a neighborhood type gym in an upscale shopping center. All of the equipment is brand new, very fancy Precor stuff. My only puzzlement is that the Precor ellipticals don't adjust for height, they're in a single fairly steep position. Other than that, the whole thing was amazing. Light and airy, weight machines have a good deal of space between them, everybody was very nice, and there are a ton of antibacterial wipe stations that I see lots of people using.During my visit I also visited the Burbank 24 Hour place and was really taken aback at how old their equipment was, and how dim the lighting was. I like light and airy. Also, it had a pretty "bro" feel, which feels as outdated as their equipment.I'll be visiting this area for another couple weeks and will definitely come back to Blink. Great equipment, nice folks, clean.  The price on their window advertised as low as $15, which is an amazing deal. Highly recommend. More...

I've been going to this Blink for over a year now. The staff is WONDERFUL. They are all so friendly and always make it a point to say hello when you arrive and goodbye as you leave. This place is insane from 5-8pm. I made it a point to stop going here after work altogether because it's like trying to work out in a zoo. There are lines for nearly every piece of equipment and bodies everywhere. A workout that should take me an hour will take me an hour and a half during this timeframe. Between 5 and 9am on the weekdays is the sweet spot. The place is truly never empty, but the morning hours are far less crowded than the evenings. This location is super accessible-- it's literally next door to the Steinway subway stop exit and is relatively central to Astoria. They're open 24 hours during the week and from 7am-7pm on the weekends. More...

I think the culture is great and the equipment and space is used very well, but like any gym, there are certain biases that limit the variety of equipment and particular allocation of floor space to a certain type of equipment (namely cardio machines are too numerous, and free working space is smaller than it could be.

Okay so - buckle in. I was a member at Blink Burbank since about April 2019. I really loved going - about 4-5 times a week. Lots of pros to the place: -New facility, so new equipment-Not too crowded, even at peak hours-Friendly, empathetic, and engaging staff-People of all shapes, sizes, levels of progress with their training-Inexpensive memberships-The "Blue" membership ($22) lets you bring a guest as often as you'd like, which is very convenient for when I have company in town that would like to join me. -Responsible, friendly members that are considerate, polite, and everybody is really good about wiping down machines and putting back weights keeping things clean and nice. -I've never used the showers, but the lockers and rest of the bathroom area are very nice.It is pretty small, but it has everything you need for a good workout, whatever your goals. But don't expect like pools, saunas, tanning beds. I do have my "suggestions", but they're all things that would just be improvements on top of what is already a better than average gym experience.I recently had to cancel my membership due to injuries sustained during a pretty big car accident. There was a little bit of a struggle to have the cancellation fee waived at first - between complications on my end with medical/insurance madness (my doctor made my letter for 2 months, when my injuries are going to keep me from lifting for far longer, since I may be okay to do treadmill work by then) and on their end with corporate (they require a 6 month letter). It was very frustrating and I initially felt a mixture of anger and disappointment on how things were going down, and admittedly have been super overwhelmed with the aftermath of my accident in general that regrettably colored my tone. But Bianca, a manager at this branch, ended up getting things sorted out, communicated my situation to corporate and had it taken care of. They called me direct and let me know the good news. I couldn't be more relieved, especially since the accident has placed my finances into a bit of unexpected chaos where every penny counts. I really appreciate that this manager went the extra mile to get things figured out. I guess I really wasn't expecting it, and it has been just a tremendous source of relief. At first, when I thought I wasn't going to get a medical exemption despite everything going down and was dealing with getting everything sorted, I felt like the positive energy and customer focus that I knew Blink for was just a performance - though it wasn't really their fault in retrospect. But the conclusion of this experience proves that they are true to that M.O.. I hope my recovery is swift so I can return to the branch, as they've definitely earned my loyalty and recommendation.

Very modern gym located in a strip mall on Alameda Street next to PAVILLIONS market.  To give you an idea of size, it used to be a Staples office store. Parking in the lot was easy.    They did a great job with the repurposing of this location.  Modernized restrooms with sensory water, soap, and dryer; and 2 button toilets highlight the locker room.   There are also futuristic vending machines that sell headphones, etc. The floor plan of gym itself is laid out well.  The areas are broken up into cardio, functional training, free weights, and weight machines.  Sprinkled in between the equipment were cleaning stations equipped with wipes.  The cardio area had a decent amount of machines in different varieties.  The weight equipment was sufficient for a gym of its size.  There was no wait for any equipment as it was busy but not packed. Employees were friendly and helpful.Best of all, the gym was clean and everything was functional. This is a wonderful neighborhood gym. More...

During a recent trip to NYC, I stopped by the Bryant Park Blink fitness center several times and was 5 star impressed with every aspect of this outstanding and excellent gym facility.

The entire facility was clean, modern, very well designed, had lots of flat screen TVs to help pass that time while running on one of their many treadmills.....Bottomline, this gym is definitely 5 star, and I wish it was located near to me in Los Angeles, where I reside.
