I checked out Blink /back on Super Bowl Sunday, looking for a new gym after NYSC in Clifton did me dirty. Im a serious lifter so Im not looking for several different amenities/classes, etc. when looking for a place to train. So long as they have weights, dumbbells, benches and a power rack or two Im satisfied. So I was very surprised when I was shown that not only did they have power racks, but they actually had FIVE of them. And to boot they all are equipped with pullup/chinup bars up top as well as hooks so you can attach resistance bands (although Ive yet to see anyone put that to use. What was also a pleasant surprise was that they have a dedicated area for deadlifting, complete with bumper plates. NYSC, in all fairness, does in fact have a deadlift platform but its a bit uneven, so its nice to be able to just lift on a flat surface. I just wish they had at least one more pair of 45lb bumpers. The bars are so new that the knurling is strong enough to rip your shins up if youre deadlifting, and that you can put them on your back knowing that while you squat the fear of the bar rolling off you will never be an issue. I also an very friendly with the staff. Theyre just as friendly as the guys and girls in my former gym. Only difference here is that everyone is doing something, and no one person is ever truly standing around. Youll even find the desk people replacing the soap in the bathroom or even vacuuming from time to time. Overall I like this particular location. It may be a commercial gym but as you can see in my pictures they do cater to more serious lifters like myself. In fact I read in another review that those power racks and the benches came in after increased demand from other members, which told me that management here listens to its client base. Thats good business. Only drawbacks are that for guy way bigger and stronger than I am the dumbbell weights dont increase past 90lbs. Also (and in all fairness Im sure other gyms have this issue as well), I find the leather covering the benches to be way too slippery. Regardless of your benching style you MUST stay tight and firm when benching and I find it very difficult to keep from slipping around unless I lay down with a towel over the bench. Otherwise Id recommend this location of Blink to anyone.

As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for". Agreed, it is VERY clean. Only gripe about the cleaning is please dont spray and clean right next to people as the chemicals can have an adverse affect. Like any company they are out to make money. With your "free" training session you get a continuous sales pitch that will not end until you give them a yes or no. I was not shown how to use any machines until I asked. No process in place. Not one person labeled a "Trainer" out on the floor in the hour I was there. When I asked the Manager where the trainer was he replied all of the trainers in a meeting. He said to wait 5 minutes. Well, I have to leave now doesnt help me out. Should have a trainer out on the floor at all times for safety reasons. Buyer beware ! If you provide them with a contact number, they will call you to try and sell you more training packages. Bare bones amenities if any. NO HAIR DRYERS ! So dont be unpleasantly surprised getting out of the shower and having to towel dry your hair to go out in the freezing cold ! BRING YOUR OWN HAIR DRYER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT IN THIS TYPE OF ESTABLISHMENT.

This is the cleanest gym I have ever been a member of. The staff is excellent. They actually seem to care about their job and take their responsibilities very serious. This is the only gym I have ever seen staff clean treadmills (and they do it frequently). Gym floor and locker room are cleaned on a great daily rotation- never dirty. Soap dispensers and wipes are always refilled. Effective management - hence effective employees. Great atmosphere. In terms of amenities offered and price this gym is in the Planet Fitness/ Retro Fitness/ Club Metro segment. With that being said this gym is BY FAR THE BEST out of the group.

Best in NJ

You know i used to go to LA fitness. way bigger gym way more things. Way better machines. But i was paying $35 a month and i really wasnt going everyday. Than i moved literally 2minute walk from blink..so i signed up who wouldnt..machines are new but its a small gym. Espically when its busy at night its kinda hard to work out with machines taken over..but i do what i gotta do. Might be going back to LA tbh..its like a 15minute drive probably less..but i switched to blink becuase its a 2 minute walk and a .30seconds drive haha. But hey blink is deff better than planet fitness. Planet fitness is HORRIBLE

This is an awesome gym. The staff are friendly and they greet you coming in and out of your workout. Its clean and well maintained. I always see them cleaning mirrors and workout equipments. Also almost everyone here reracks their weights. I do more strength training and im very happy that they recently added more equipments such as power racks, half racks, kettle bells and bumper plates!

Bright, Clean and Spacious, Plenty of equipment to use. When we signed up when they first opened, the cost was $15/month. Now the monthly minimum is $20/month. The staff is friendly and the machines are well-maintained. The place probably get busy like any other gym, but we always come in around 9:30 am so the place have been mostly empty for us.

Overall is an excellent gym. Definitely the cleanest place that you could choose to work out. Staff is mostly very friendly and attentive. Only drawback, and depending on what time you go, is that floor space is a little small and wait time for weight machines can be long. But definitely enough cardio machines that no wait there.

Only been to one be gym before, been going to Blink for a little over a month. WAY better than that other one I went to. Never crowded (weekday mornings) everything is kept organized & clean. For a good work out join Blink. Staff is always welcoming, helpful & very polite. And you cant beat the prices!

I didnt have a yearly contract with this gym. I was on the monthly plan. I wanted to cancel my membership because I am moving out of state. They charged me for the next 3 months! Not a good business practice.

Good Gym, not too crowded like the nearby Planet Fitness. If you want to sign up, pay in full for a year and get 20% off your membership (comes out to be $240 with taxes).

Great gym! The staff is super friendly and there are many machines so you dont have to wait. The only drawback is I wish they offered classes, such as: yoga and spin.
