Been going to this gym for about 2 years and my overall opinion is that its just ok. This gym has almost everything you need for a decent workout to keep you fit, if you are a body builder or cross fit person this gym is not for you. Staff is very cool and have always treated me well, thus far. My issues with this gym and many other for the same price is that it gets really overcrowded. If I cant make it to the gym before 2pm I either dont go or just do cardio because waiting is torture and discouraging. My counter to this is waking up at 4:30am to hit the gym by 5am but sometimes waking up that early is torture itself lol. My other issues with the gym is the hours of Op; closing at 11pm monday-thursday, 10pm on fridays, and 7pm on saturday and sunday sucks. I wish the gym was 24 hour, and close later on the weekends. Overall the gym has been good to me thus far and will continue going to Blink until something else comes up.

I tried this gym recently using a trial membership and Im writing this review after one visit. This location is fairly new and pretty spacious for the services provided. I say this because I am currently a member of a gym that provides classes in addition to equipment and weights. This location definitely wouldnt have enough space for any type of classes. But overall the facilities are very modern but definitely not for me. I need aerobic classes especially during those times that Im lazy. They do provide trainers like most gyms today but I wasnt impressed by any training services that I saw. Overall, the gym is very clean and modern. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone that looks for gyms with the most up to date equipment and personal TVs to watch while they do there cardio-this is the place for you!

Overall experience is just ok. Machines and equipment are great. ..Poor maintenance. One day the lights are out in the shower room , and the next theres a leak in the weight section lol. Staff are extremely friendly and nice . But .. the gym is crowded most of the time , when the gym is crowded there isnt that much weights available or space available whats so ever . So if u are not looking for a packed gym this place isnt for u. It gets a bit too over crowded and that it majority of the time. With that being said been there for a bout a month and still see these things occurring. Overall not satisfied with the gym

I am a regular at this Blink on 116th St. I have been a loyal member at Blink for almost 3 years now. The Blink on 116th St., is the one of the dirtiest and most ghetto gym I have been to in NYC (hate to use that word, but true). The clientele is mostly disgusting men who like to hog machines for hours. There are some staff members that are friendly, but about 80% of the male staff members make sexist comments/cat calls to the women who workout here, along with the male members of the gym. I do not recommend going to this specific Blink, for anybody who actually wants to get a good workout in.

I loved this place! I was visiting from Europe and was only in NYC for 2 weeks and after going to gyms all over Harlem, these guys were the only ones who could offer me a reasonable rate with no complications so I could train even though I was only there a short time (seriously, all the other gyms made it so complicated!). The reception staff were also very cheerful and helpful. They always greeted me with a smile at the door and were always in a good mood. Its also fully equipped and well air-conditioned. The other members also have good gym etiquette. I highly recommend this place!

This place sucks, the employees are irresponsible. They dont come on time so they never open the gym as they are supposed to. Ive made trips early in the morning to get my workout before work to find myself waiting outside for 15-20 minutes and then leaving because if they are late it is impossible to finish my routine. They never showed up in this timeframe, this happened 3 times within a 5 week period and always on Sunday. Ive lost my time and my sleep for nothing. Im not sure how late they come on Sundays to open the gym but Ive only waited 15-20 min

I am highly disappointed with customer service I received from Blinks Member Services. I was misinformed during signing the contract about their cancellation policy. At the end I was charged not only monthly but also the yearly fee for using the gym only 4 times. Additionally I was not able to cancel my service over the phone. I was forced to come in person even though I stated that I have a small daughter and my schedule is not predictable. The representative from Member Services was incompetent, neither helpful. I would not recommend this gym.

I became a member because it was fairly close to where I live and probably has the best hours of operation. Its really spacious for a blink gym. Ive been to others in the city. I really wish it had an actual bench press machine. It only has 2 squatting areas which means those 2 areas are used for squatting/deadlifting/bench pressing which gets really occupied at night. Im the type to love a sauna after a workout which it doesnt offer. Its great for most people looking to exercise daily. But for someone who is looking for more like me its ok.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVERY HAD WITH A GYM IN MY LIFE!!!!! A ROACH MOTEL IN THAT THEY MAKE IT VERY HARD FOR YOU TO OFFICIALLY END YOUR MEMBERSHIP!!! CANT CALL, MUST SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER!!! I DID. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RECEIVED AT THE GYM, BUT THAT IT WAS WRONG ADDRESS!! UNBELIEVABLY SLEEZY AND UNDERHANDED. IMAGE IF YOU HAD TO SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER TO END YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN NETFLIX OR COSTCO??? AND THEN THEY ADMIT GETTING IT, BUT SAY IT WAS SENT TO WRONG ADDRESS!!!AVOID!!! AVOID!!! THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a member for a month and now leaving. I wonder if the members here have been previously in jail? Rude, obnoxious over tattooed you will never get a courteous word as they point, grunt and argue with you over the too-few machines. And if you do use one of the 3 benchpress areas watch out! you will get growled at as they hog or reserve these for themselves. I wanted to like this place for its great price but the idiots who inhabit this place make it impossible. Especially if you are white. Stay away.

I like it has lots of space... Im More of a full body movement, jumping squats kinda girl so Im not worried about people slamming into me. Its kept Clean, staff is friendly, no one there bothers me... I go during slow hours so machines & weights are available when I need them.. Stretching area could be much bigger given the size of the gym... Is my only minor issue. I dont care about a sauna, or classs most gyms offer so that not being provided here doesnt bother me one bit.

Im an independent personal trainer, I work out at this gym a lot. The Staff is great , all these negative comments about the squat rack are irresponsible. Ive never heard a rude comment from any member when I was waiting for the squat rack, anyone who really works out will be at the squat rack its built to perform Manu exercises . For those who dont like waiting do what I do and either come earlier or different days .
