Unusable during construction. Half the gym is shut down, including the water fountain. Not sure that’s even legal given NYC rules about fitness centers. But no apologies here (they have water back there, it’s just not for you, who are somehow on the hook for your usual monthly rate despite getting nothing in return). Can’t wait to see the new paint job on the other side.

Easily the worst gym I’ve ever been to. They are handling this “rennovation” in the worst way possible. They’ve closed off majority of the gym for weeks on end, getting rid of all the equipment I use. They don’t have any water available, and they have gotten rid of anything containing sugar which I, as a diabetic, need at a moments notice.

When I bought a membership to this gym, no one warned me that renovations would begin in a month. As a result, most of the gym is closed. Many of the machines are missing. There is dust and dirt everywhere. And there isn't even any drinking water! A gym employee said that there won't be any water for another two weeks. Free water is a basic requirement. It's the minimum. It's a legal necessity. I've never had a worse experience in my entire life!

Showers are down for over two months now. also know as as the gym with no showers. Showers are out few times during the year. not practical for people who work in the area and want to work out in their lunch break and get ready and go back to work. They are currently out for over a week now due to a leak. Everyone knows about it, but management reply is as usual, "Thanks for bringing this to our attention. sorry for the inconvenience".

Honestly 5 stars but they’ve routinely had issues with AC on the second floor. Multiple times I’ve been close to passing out because of how hot it was. In the summer I can count at least 5/6 weeks there have been AC issues. I’ve been going here for years so not sure why this year they’ve had so many issues but I hope they treat it with some urgency!! Other than that 0 complaints - my favorite location in the 5 boroughs.

7/23 - showers not working in men's lockeroom. Are they going to refund male members partial fees for not getting what they're paying for?

7/1: showers not hot. Toilet paper put in bathrooms in men's room. Is anyone running this place. ?

Update 5/16 : blink says they're actively working to solve this 'complex' issue of a shower working. Guess they are getting the finest minds in the world to figure this difficult topic out. They're going to have to solicit some PHDs to figure out how to put on this shower curtain.

Update 5/14 - no towels but we pay 18 a month for it. Workout. Hoping to go shower before going back to work only to be told they're out of towels. towel fee is a scam. If you get it dispute with your bank.

if 75 percent of the showers are working we should be getting 25 percent off monthly dues until it's fixed. demand this before joining the gym. This thing has been broken for weeks. People waiting to shower, running late for work and meetings. Not Acceptable.

This is a perfectly fine gym and the staff are very nice. The issues and reason I will be cancelling my membership is the maintenance issues that continue.

For multiple weeks this summer the AC was down and one floor was either closed or dangerously hot. The only solution provided was a couple fans in 2 corners that really did not do much.

The newest issue is that the showers in the men's locker room have been down for multiple weeks. The only solution offered is a sign to go to their Murray Hilld location which is over 15 blocks away. I go to this gym because it is right near my job, and I can go during my lunch break. I do not have the extra travel time to go to another gym so far away.

Like I said, it is a perfectly fine gym. But I have not been able to use the gym fully for over a month now because of maintenance issues. I fully understand that things happen but the fact that these are lingering issues that are taking multiple weeks to fix with no end in sight or accommodation from the staff is unacceptable.

I've tried it out for a month when subletting in the area. After that I've canceled, and they charged me extra 100$ when doing that by claiming an "annual fee" and "45 days prior notification". Other than that the AC didn't work of an entire floor (80% of equipment) for about two weeks out of that duration.

Besides the gym location being very clean and up to date with gym equipment, I wanna say that Angel at the front desk is a superstar!!!

No AC in this gym, the air is disgusting and a breeding ground for bacteria. I gymmed here four days ago and I had heat hives and rashes on my neck. When asking the front desk about the AC all they say is they are working on it with NO ETA. I am switching gyms, do not come here.

2 weeks without AC on the 2nd floor, and when I asked if there’s an ETA on when the problem will get fixed customer service had no idea. It’s actually impossible to workout on that floor - feels like a sauna, and nothing is happening to compensate customers for the inconvenience. At a minimum Blink should offer a discounted rate while only half the gym is usable, or even just put FANS around for some circulation. I seriously question if this problem would be ongoing for as long if Blink’s staff were situated on the 2nd floor and forced to wait on customers in the heat, but since they aren’t and it’s only *paying* customers who have to suffer, the problem persists.

I was harassed today by an entitled person, and AS USUAL THERE IS NO MANAGER ON THE PREMISES.

The inexperienced front desk staff had to communicate with the manager via telephone. And ask a trainer who was going off duty for assistance.

My workout was ruined, cut short, and I had an enormously upsetting experience.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A MANAGER ON DUTY AT ALL TIMES.

This is a crowded gym with many muscular males - many with attitudes that suggest they are on steroids or simply an outsized sense of entitlement regarding public behavior - and there is no one with authority present.

The water fountain squirts out in two directions, has a brownish mold in the drain strainer, and the Ladies Room was disgusting and running out of toilet tissue. Meanwhile numerous employees are lounging behind the desk.

WHY IS THIS NOT MANAGED WELL NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN BOUGHT OUT BY A EUROPEAN COMPANY??!!

I came to the gym to use my free membership pass that I never used. Apparently because I had signed up online with my email and registered it for a location in the Bronx , I couldn’t use the same email and use the day pass for this location: even if it’s literally a day pass, that wasn’t used. Marcus and Nay were the ones that handled the situation and the customer service turned me off. I was super excited about working out at blink, I’m currently transitioning from xsport fitness in the Bronx and wanted something close to my job. When I walked in here the way I was handled made me know blink fitness is definitely not the gym for me. Sucks cus I was so excited

Blink Fitness is decent if you’re a beginner or moderate lifter, but if you're a serious lifter or powerlifter, this gym won’t cut it. The space is small, and there’s a serious lack of equipment. No belt squat machine (which, in 2025, should be standard), no hex bar, and no Swiss bar. On top of that, they barely have enough cages or workout racks, making it hard to get a proper lifting session in.

The gym gets extremely crowded after 5 PM, so if you don’t get there early, expect to wait for equipment. If you're just starting out or looking for a casual workout, it might work for you. But if you're into serious strength training, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere.

Problems here:
1) Crowded
2) Down to 1/2 supply of some equipment due to disrepair-see photo
3) Sitters seemingly allowed--photos
4) Worn equipment such as ripped arm pads--see photo
5) Blink e-mail notice to members of gym closure less than a week ago with 2 days notice, then rescinded the next day. Assume dealing with landlord with members caught in the middle.

Positive is the low cost and convenient if you live nearby.

This location needs better air ventilation or maybe turn AC “ON”. gyms and fitness centers must comply with ventilation and air quality standards to ensure a safe and healthy environment. If the issue persists, we will report it to 311 for further investigation by the NYC Department of Health or the Department of Buildings.

Update 2 weeks later: same issue with AC and no air to breath!!! Management needs to step up and do something about AC.

I generally like this gym and the staff that works here. It can get busy, but that’s to be expected. I drop in here to do hyrox workouts or CrossFit style metcon workouts. Over the last few months this gym has gotten rid of the concept skiing machine and the concept rowing machines which is a huge disappointment. Yes, they have some other crappy rowing machines but no ski erg. If you’re training for NYC hyrox, super sad to report this gym no longer has concept rowing machines.

Been a member for a few years. I feel like I’ve seen it all here. Vast majority of staff are excellent and nice, I can only remember one over a year ago that was harassing random people because she was bored, but not seen that behavior since. Sometimes if you stay till the end they’ll shut off all the lights for the last 5mins which feels like a safety hazard. Other than that, all other workers have been cheery and very cool, they always say hi and bye to me, that’s a nice touch! I love that I can bring a guest now and again, that’s been great.
For the price it’s very good, I don’t use the showers or the bathrooms so can’t speak to that. Right now it is too hot, they have the heating on too high on the lower floor, but that doesn’t bother me after a while, and for most of the year it’s a good temperature. I occasionally wish the sanitary wipes would be replaced more often, but 80% of the time it’s fine.
Generally the gym can get a little overcrowded when I go (weekday evenings around 7-9pm) and I wish they would open up later on weekends, especially Sunday, a 7pm close feels way too early to me and ruins my evening-vibe. Clientele ranges massively, with mostly normal people and minority of trashy people, but mostly other customers are fine. I’ve found the equipment to be generally good and well maintained, or they’re quick to fix it if it breaks. Honestly, for the price, I don’t think it can be beaten, so I’m grateful for this gym and the nice people that work there.

That’s not healthy and is suffocating when you’re working out. I understand it’s winter but heat at that level is unnecessary. It’s like working out in a sauna.

So I usually come here at 5 am before work. At first it wasn’t bad, all machines worked, didn’t look too dirty. As weeks have been going on, the gym is disgusting, garbage from the day before all in the stairs on all floors, dirt and dust in corners, lights that have been out and not replaced since the beginning of December and its the middle of January, women’s showers every other week are out of service, two of the three hand sinks in the women’s locker room have been out of service for about two weeks now, machines have been out of service for weeks some even close to over a month. Its ridiculous that this gym is in one of manhattans richest neighborhoods, granted its an affordable gym but it’s embarrassing. Staff is fantastic but the gym it self its not a gym that you feel desirable or motivated to work out in. Please get the lights and machines and showers and sinks working!

A year ago, I probably would have left a 5-star review. What you got for $30-40/month was pretty incredible. But over the last year, the gym has felt more and more like a true "budget" gym. They've discontinued their towel service, they've turned the heat down, and broken equipment often doesn't get fixed (please fix the Airdynes!). Plus, the men's showers often have no soap or broken dispensers, and generally are not well kept.

That said - considering what gym memberships cost in NYC, it's still a pretty good deal! You're just getting what you pay for.

Have been a member here for a couple of years. Overall the gym is nice and very convenient for me.
Men’s bathroom needs to be cleaned more often. Especially around the sinks which are messy.
Signs encourage everyone to have clean hands and to wipe down machines after use. Unfortunately, I observe that most men and some women do not wipe down. So I have to wipe before I use and after I use. Maybe better signage to encourage or for staff to remind members when they check in.
Staff are very friendly.

Updating this back to 4 stars. Since my last visit in 2022, they still deal with members going too hard on the heavy bag and breaking the handles but overall they are one of the best clean kept locations in Manhattan. 42nd could use some pointers! The current staff (May 2024) is always welcoming and helpful even through the phone. They look like an overall great working team. Thanks Blink for listening to your long time members!

I used to love going to this gym and would always look forward to this specific location because of their heavy bag. Apparently it’s been more than 2 weeks and they’re still waiting for a professional to install a piece. When I kindly asked the front desk associate, he seemingly said they didn’t know how long it would take for this to be handled and there was no way to expedite this request even though he mentioned I wasn’t the only gym member asking about this.
The gym upkeep could also be better including the locker room bathrooms, especially during a time like this.

I was initially gonna give this spot a 3 star because it is a condensed area even with 2 floors but what earned the extra star is the friendliness of the staff, by far the kindest I've seen so far and most of the patrons were middle aged people getting a short work in whether it be on work break or just getting out of their homes.

Translation, I didn't have to wait eons for a machine to be freed up because some kid was doing supersets or just idling away time on the phone in-between reps. Maybe it's because I came on a Monday, who knows. I'd chalk it up to coming here at the right place at the right time because I'm pretty sure this place gets loaded during peak hours. A few Smith machines were broken but I wasn't planning on using them today anyway so I won't factor that in my review. All in all, decent location.

I used to feel ok about Blink. I actually liked the minimalist aspect of what they offer. It was clean and the equipment was passable. But lately, I feel disappointed . I’ve been a member for a while. Got an email a while back saying they were going to upgrade equipment…so far, nothing except new mats. Maybe that’s what they meant by “equipment” ? The rest of the equipment I use there is rusty, creaky squeaky. They also took their large heavyweight punching bag away and have not replaced it. That bag got lots of use. And sadly, lately, the gym seems dirtier. There are hairballs seemingly reproducing like rabbits. around the stretching area. It’s never going to be the ritz and that’s ok.

Thank God I have the green membership that I can go to another gym. I will never come back to this terrible gym again way way way way way too crowded.

This is a clean, well run location. Lots of equipment and all in good condition. The showers and changing rooms are clean.

The staff is very helpful.

I paid for a trainer for two months, and Mookie did a first rate job getting me started and trained on a new workout and all the equipment.

You do need to pick your time-of-day. It gets busy in the late afternoons. Luckily, I am time flexible and I can visit when it is not as busy.

Blink Fitness on 54th street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues is an amazing gym with super friendly staff and two floors of state of the art equipment, EXCEPT that they need more benches for bench press. This is a REAL concern among members as more often than not you end up having to wait an extraordinary amount of time to use a bench and this is not just limited to ‘peak times’. You could be in the gym on a slow night but it may just be that more than 2 members might have chest at the same time, so you end up waiting for quite a bit as chest is not just limited to barbell bench pressed but also dumbbell bench presses. Then while you’re waiting others could also end up lining up for the same 2 benches. Some members have complained that they have brought this matter up to management but they knew in advance that ‘nothing gets done around here’ Other than that the bathrooms and locker rooms seemed spotless no matter when I visited the gym. I just ended up not going to the gym quite a while back particularly because of the shortage of benches. So it’s a real issue.

Completely out of Lysol wipes for the machines, so you can’t wipe it down before or after you work out on it. Out of soap (in the woman’s bathroom at least). Asked front desk if they had any more wipes or soap they could lend me, but they said they were completely out because the shipment was late. This was Tuesday night Oct 24th. Kinda grossed out tbh, I had to work out and not be able to wipe anything off & had to wash my hands with only water, no soap. Not sanitary for a gym I’m paying $$$ for.

UPDATE: Wednesday night Oct 25th, still zero Lysol wipes 🫠

Great gym! I am in NYC visiting and need to keep up with my weight lifting. This gym is spacious and has a lot of free weights, machines, cardio, cross fit items, etc. super impressed. More impressive is they let an non-local use their gym for free for the first day and after it’s ~$15/day which is super reasonable. I will be returning next two days until I leave!

This blink is definitely nicer than the Blink fitness in queens, the staff is nice and it's not too crowded but they do have a hard out time of 7pm on the weekends. If you are trying to workout any time after 630 they will start turning off the lights to rush you out. If you are paying for this membership you should be able to workout like everyone else during hours of operation.

Most of the machines are being used at all times. There’s not a time of day when you’re more likely to get a machine because the gym is so cheap. The scale for weight doesn’t work at this location. It’s just too busy to actually accomplish anything. Very disappointing.

Its been a couple of months since I joined, with my spouse, the Blink on 54th Street and so far my experience has been great. The facility is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, but can get crowded at peak times. Its an absolute value for money. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. However, today someone broke into the locker where I had kept my bag searched it thoroughly (all chains open). Luckily, I did not have valuables in the bag and hence nothing was taken. The strangest part, whoever did this broke the first lock and was weird enough to put the spare lock (I usually carry one) and locked the locker again. Overall, this gym has met my expectations and I recommend it to anyone seeking a good facility to work-out but being very careful about belongings and storing them.

I am disappointed with this gym. They charged me 41$ 2 times in the same month, and this month 62 dollars plus 42 dollars. they are saying that it is for the membership, which makes no sense because when I signed up NOBODY warned me about these prices, they just said “42 dollars a month” that is a lack of respect and communication with the customer. I am extremely disappointed, I want to cancel and not return due to the lack of communication with the customer. The problem is not charging, it's not informing anything and me being taken by surprise.

Being the cheapest gym in the zone becomes it extremly crowed. You have to wait a lot to make one routine/series.

Not as busy as other Blinks in the area around lunchtime (unsure about the early evening). The weight machines are pretty new compared to ones I've seen in the Blinks in Queens. Front desk staff are friendly.

The equipment is great, especially for such a tight area.

Staff is super friendly ATM, I imagine they have a decent amount turnover.

Gym is super packed around peak times that makes it pretty difficult to workout here. My schedule allows me to workout during non peak hours so it makes sense for me to sign up

Update:

The place is super packed nowadays even during work hours. There simply isn't enough space and there aren't enough machines to work out on.

People here, staff and gym-goers, are very nice. Fellow gym-goers usually let you work in. Equipment wise, there are three squat racks, one flat bench press, one angled bench press, one trap bar deadlift and two free barbells for deadlifts/hip thrusts. For deadlifts, there are only three pairs of bumper plates (one pair of each: 10kg, 15kg, 20kg), so I hope there are more in the future. I typically go after working hours when the place is packed, so I wish the gym was bigger, maybe have another flat bench press and more regular benches by the dumbbell area. There's a lot of unused cardio machines. Stretching area can get quite crowded at times. And there is a decent amount of weightlifting machines but this is a smaller gym so don't be surprised if what you're looking for isn't there. Last thing is that rarely the ac doesn't work so whenever that happens it can get really hot for up to a few days at a time. Overall great gym, and very hard to beat for the price at this location.

Equipment is clean and repaired quickly when broken. But the selection of equipment leaves a lot to be desired. Only one bench and all weight training equipment is busy even away from peak hours because so much space is dedicated to cardio machines.Also, the barbell equipment is split into three sections which can make finding the plates you need into a bit of an adventure.

AC on the second floor has not been working for nearly a month now. It stinks up there to high heaven and it's hot as hell. And knuckle heads on their cell phones instead busting out reps while sitting on the equipment. Or they have ex of amount of sets but instead just sit or stand there and use their phone, stay home. The AC has to be fixed! Staff is cool.

Yikes. Here at 2pm on a Sunday and google says “not too busy” and it’s literally packed full. Haven’t been to a Blink this busy ever! Here’s me thinking it would be kinda empty Mid East.

Small footprint. Decent amount of lifting and dumbbell area, too much cardio as is most blink layouts!
