If youre interested in using free-weights, this is a very poor gym choice. Even at peak hours, theres about 3 times more cardio machines available than are ever in use, which dominates about 60% of the floorspace, but free-weights are always in use and involve wait times. Unfortunately, the cardio prioritization means there are only 2 squat racks and a single benchpress. Even at off-peak hours, there are always lines for the benchpress and squat rack. There is no incline bench press and only a single cable machine. Due to the lack of benchpresses, the squat racks get used as benchpresses a lot, which means theres even a longer line to use them. Management promised me more free-weights were on the way when I signed up, but all theyve done in 3 months was replaced the existing ones, without increasing overall capacity (despite plenty of space to do so). Its really disappointing that all of these $10-$15 budget gyms forced so many good gyms that balanced cardio and weight training out of the neighborhood. It feels like Blink is specifically trying to frustrate all of their regular customers (who gravitate towards weight training) because their super-low-pricing model requires as many casual and infrequent customers as possible.

An employee by the name of Rob went into the system that they use to take down all of the members personal information and contacted my little sister. Saying he hoped that she didnt mind him looking up her information to contact her. Shortly after he informed her that he had our address information and her email. This is beyond unprofessional. When I called to speak with a manager 2 different employees asked me what it was in regards to. Once I told them, they did everything in their power to protect their coworker. Insisting that the manager Maria was not taking calls at the moment, even though it was during business hours and to try again tomorrow. When I asked for their names, they gave me false names and made mockery of the situation. This is by far the most disturbing and poorly handle situation I have ever encountered. I encourage you to please take your business else where. I hope that many other females that attend this facility are not also being harassed and contacted outside of business related reasons. Very sad, and poorly handled Blink, we are now looking for new memberships elsewhere.

Solid gym if youre looking for the basics. 2 squat racks and a barbell for bench press. The rest are free weights that go up to 90lbs and some cable pulley machines. Plenty of cardio machines and 2 row stations. Staff is friendly and place is always clean. Dedicated stretch/warm up area with lumbar rollers, resistance bands and yoga ball. Ive forgotten locks but never had an issue with stuff in lockers. Locker rooms are clean and individual showers are great. Good place cant fault them for being busy and they do a good job with the limited space.

The service at this place is kinda bad. There is always one person at the front desk. I was paying for a service that I did not originally sign-up for and when I wanted to cancel my service they gave me a very hard time and made up every excuse possible for me to pay extra fees & penalties, etc. Read the fine/small print. They make it hard to get out of your contract. I do not recommend this gym, this service or location. Run A-way NOW! Do not believe the hype. I was a member for a year.

Clean and nice atmosphere but I only wish it had more lifting bars for squat/ deadlift/ bench/ military press. It has 2 squat racks (1 smith machine but that is a waste of space), and 1 flat bench, so at peak hours, its impossible to get on them. They have the space to add another rack or 2 so hopefully they do in the future. Lots of cardio so if that is your goal, this is your place and price is good.

clean gym floor, friendly staff, nice interior aesthetic; any given moment a staffer is wiping down equipment; i like that there are antiseptic wipes & liquid stations throughout the gym; cant beat the price, only wish the water pressure for the water fountain was stronger (lol) --certainly not a deal breaker.

Ive been attending at this blink fitness on 125th street now for about 1 year now and I can say that I love everything about this place, its clean the workers are amazing and the manerger there is awesome. I recommend everyone to come join there they will not regret

Good staff, nice crowd, well maintained but WAY too crowded both in terms of the amount of people and also the amount of machines squeezed into the space. Hard to have a good flowing workout when busy. Blink should open a second branch in Harlem above 125th st.

Ive been going here regularly for about a month and a half. Great staff, always clean, not crowded at all when I go in the morning. They just changed the location of all of the weights and (I think) added more racks and benches, and its a huge improvement.

On weekdays only croweded around 4-7pm. Google has a time chart that tells you when its croweded. This gym is clean and friendly and the locker rooms are kept fresh. I just wish they would have paper towel since the dryers in the bathroom are weak.

Been going here about a year now, Staff is extremely helpful & friendly, they make you want to be there. And they are always in rotation with keeping it clean & have just about all you need to reach your goals ! Great Location!

Edward Shim

Went here for a trial and gym is pristine! Very clean and first impression was of staff was super friendly. Recommend going during early morning hours to miss peak times. Best value for a gym in Harlem/Morningside!

Been with Blink for almost two years now, this is a great location. There are many different machines and a lot of space. Blink at 125th street is also very clean and well kept. Definitely reccomend coming here.

This gym is clean and the staff is very friendly i had the chance to work with Charles as my trainer and he is GREAT just dont call and ask for any information they are rude another than that its a good gym.

Austin Tiffany

Used this gym for about six weeks and loved it. It is usually pretty busy, but it never felt over crowded. The price was cheaper than I was expecting for Manhattan, and the entire space was well maintained.

They make it really hard for you to get out of the contract. They give stupid reason to change ur mind to not cancel ur contract and charged u ridiculous fee for cancellation. Not recommended.

Avi Bueno

My favorite of all the Blinks Ive been to. Friendly and helpful staff. Almost never packed, so not much waiting for a machine/weight. Located down the block from the train. Really great.

Tyrone Howell

The worst gym in harlem no good management skills, and the people are unorganized, stay away from the gym , the nerve of them to ask if I paid for a damm Gatorade

Eric Dolan

Best value in a gym. No matter what your goals are, this gym will get the job done. But you cant be afraid of crowds because its ALWAYS packed.
