Clean but always packed no matter the time of day. Good luck getting a squat rack or bench press. The gym desperately needs more of these key pieces of exercise equipment.

Gym equimpent is working, and clean. The gum is always quick to clean up any messes and stays on top of everything. Hours are amazing and $29 a month for a gym is a STEAL. especially since you can bring a guest. The employees are SO POLITE.

Never join this gym, they will mess up your credit with sketchy tactics. I joined there when i lived nearby. I then moved to SF. I had no obligation or contract with them. I requested to cancel my membership and they claimed the only way to do this was in person. Since then my credit keeps going down, i had to hire someone to investigate and it seems Blink was the one messing up my credit. I am now actively fighting them.

I was member here for 9 or 10 months. I rarely ended up coming because it is usually incredibly crowded most times of day. I was training at another gym, so in the summer I gave my 45 day notice at Blink and paid there. Now for these last months I've been getting email after email saying that I owe $108 and they're going to send a collection agency to me?? Whaaat? I had to get a new debit card, but it's telling me its still trying to charge my old one even after I cancelled.

I've been coming here for about 2 months now and am very content with this gym! Yes, it gets crowded but most of the gym goers here are quite considerate, wipe down machines, etc. The staff is very friendly, and locker rooms are clean! Can't really complain for the price point

I have been going to this Blink for almost two years now and can say that it's only getting better! The staff are very friendly along with everyone that normally goes there. Of course during peak hours it gets a little overwhelming but there is more than enough equipment for you to always be doing something.

Locker room is at the lower level, however, the lower level is full of equipment that 97% of users are male. This may cause some discomfort(security mainly) for some female users to use the locker room. Some of them may avoid using it at all. Many of them will just bring a bag and leave it on the ground next to a machine, instead of using the locker room. Sometimes the gym isn't packed with people, the fear of security issue is probably more obvious in their minds. I would suggest gym to move some of equipment to lower level, to increase the female users using the equipment at the lower level.
Gym membership is weird, just like marriage. You will certainly feel the positive side when you really cherish it and actually use it. Otherwise it is just a waste of money, a long term commitment that you puzzle yourself why you sign up with a gym at the 1st place. You have been paying to a gym and you never use it. And it is true that, divorcing with a gym is just like divorcing with a human, not simple.
This Blink location starts to extend their hours for some of days in a week. However, I would love to see longer hours on Friday to Sunday instead of weekdays. From 1am to 5am on weekdays, I wonder who would use the gym...but in the weekends, some ppl surely would use it at that time.

Super friendly staff! Nice equipment but the members should be nicer to each other when approached to work in together, and stay off their phones while working out it's quite distracting!

Good, clean, well-equipped gym. Two levels, with cardio and weight machines separate from free weights.
This location has a small stretching area, which fills up during peak hours.
Blink does not have fitness classes or any group exercise.
Although open continuously during weekdays, the gym does not reliably open on weekend mornings. It has not opened on time any Saturday in August.
The self-service towel service requires an additional monthly subscriptions.

I ended up skinnier than before, but it was my fault. Very good hand driers.

I have not been able to go workout for the last 7 weeks due to a foot injury. Now I had to have surgery and it will be at least 9 or more weeks until I get back on my foot. The people who work at customer service will not help to close out my account unless I pay a cancelation fee. This is not good customer service, I also asked since I can't use my membership can my son use it and nope u can't transfer your account. I told them I don't want to transfer just allow someone to use it and again no is what they say. Ok I'll pay your fee but will never go to this gym again and definitely would not recommend it either. Wish they had 1/2 star cuz they don't deserve the full star either. Bad business

Love Blink in general but this location is just too small for the area. Much more crowded than other locations. My husband es goingto john with me but he'd rather pay more somewhere else and get thru his workouts faster and easier than standing around waiting for equipment. I have access to other locations. Too bad, I was looking forward to this one.

They make it ridiculously hard to cancel without going into the gym itself. I moved away from New York with a job transfer very quickly, and I have spent the last six months trying to get them to cancel my membership but they continue to charge me. I even sent in a certified letter asking for my membership to be cancelled. Still charged two more times. Don't bother.

An excellent gym at an excellent price. Has everything a gym needs (from cardio, to weights, to floor) for far less than the competition. The personal training program is also fantastic. Andrew in particular, combining the grace of Muhammad Ali and strength of Adam Rippon, brings out the best in all his students.

Gym is fine. It gets crowded but it has a lot covered. I don't get this open 24's brag though...It's open 24 hours half the week then closes at midnight one night then 8pm the next two. It's 24/4 I guess. Catchy.

Literally the only Blink Fitness that's open 24 hours! This gym does get packed at different times of the day, but almost all gyms are that way. The staff are also extremely friendly. I enjoy coming here and will continue coming here!

Nice Place friendly Staff but really bad secure system they have. Someone broke into my locker and took cash from my bag. I reccoment to use a heavy duru lock. Because any one can brake your locker easily and get your stuff and blink does not make responsible.

Great staff, brand new equipment & convenient location in the East Village add up to the best value for our fitness dollars. Another bonus is that we've found the members of this gym are by and large really friendly, considerate and focused on working out. The whole crew including Mike, Felicia and manager Brandon are tireless in making sure everything is clean and working properly and that everyone is happy. The best fitness experience we could ever ask for.

Pretty basic gym at a good membership price. They have a locker room with showers. No towels. Though they are available for purchase in addition to a lot of other items. It's a new location and so the gym is not as crowded and relatively clean. Much better than other blink locations I've heard descriptions of.
The staff is friendly. Not near the subway but convenient if you live in east village.

I am a consent goer. And I really love this spot! Since I live locally, it's very convenient, walking distance from home. The front desk staff are very warm and friendly. Michael, the manager is a great person. The cleaning staff are always making sure that our (the customer) work out in clean surroundings. Thank you Lawrence. So, all in all. It's a great place to work out. I'm asking publicly that you look in to getting a "Jacobs Ladder." Thank you for all that you do.
