Very accommodating, clean with lots of equipment to accommodate the paa
Went for an open call interview today at this location. It was canceled with no update email mind you kids are on winter break i paid for baby sitter waste of time and money...Manager was onsite and for what ever reason was not doing interviews, and set up interview date for following day. I WONDER HOW MANY PPL WASTED THERE TIME TODAY
It used to be 5 stars but ever since the summer the gym has gotten way too crowded after work, the AC can't cool the place down all the way, and half of the equipment is broken and does not seem to be repaired quickly. Overall this location seems to have problems handling the crowds.
The ease of joining this gym is completely offset by the difficulty of trying to leave it. One can't simply stop being a member at will, you need to pay them for the privilege of stopping being their client. The terms of the membership are very confusing, and aren't consumer friendly.
This gym practices classic gym scams, making cancellation difficult. When you do decide to cancel, you MUST do so in person. Additionally, don't take their word that the cancellation is confirmed, get it in writing, and get the person to sign their name. If there's a discrepancy in the future, you need to have the name of the person whom you informed about the cancellation, otherwise there's no recourse. These rules are not written or posted anywhere prominently, and I only learned about them after paying months of fees after I thought I cancelled the membership.
Finally, there's very little recourse on any disagreement. The staff at the gym claim that there's nothing that they can do, and there's no way to speak to anyone else. The only recommendation is to fill out a web form on their website and hope for a reply, which they don't honor. There is very little respect for the customer, and their goal isn't customer satisfaction, but squeezing max value on technicalities.
If you think I'm a lone disgruntled customer, just look over all the other 1 and 2 star reviews to see that's a recurring pattern in this company. They are just like their parent company Equinox, pretending to be a quality low cost provider.
Remember, get proof for all interactions and good luck.
Update: Very surprisingly, I was contacted days after closing the account, and refunded the closing charges, as well as some of the previous monthly charges. I certainly have appreciated that a manager there took the time to investigate after I've given up, paid the ransom and left.
Been coming since it opened,,still clean and machines well maintained..staff super friendly and crowd good
Friendly staff. Tons of basic equipment and free weights. Even when it's busy, the layout allows for more room to lift because of all the nooks.
Arrived in NY on holiday from Scotland. Friendly staff sorted me out with pass. Great gym and service. Thanks.
Great gym with lots of decent, clean equipment and friendly staff. I go early in the mornings and it's already crowded by like 7. Can't imagine how it gets in true peak hours.
Really nice gym staff very friendly and good machines not too crowded when I went !!! Will definitely be going back !!!

Great gym and customer service at this location. Enough space and workout zones. It is mostly packed by 9 AM, as any other gym is.

The staff is friendly and they keep the place very clean. The equipment is modern. Keep in mind it's a discount gym in midtown Manhattan, at busy times you'll be waiting to use the equipment.

Very disapointeed with the termination fees, when you registered they tell you one thing toyally different from cancelation day.
I enrolled not too long ago, maybe two months the most, only went for two weeks and now i have to pay almost $100 to cancel my enrollment. This was a month to month basic and ended up been a hidden agreement.
I advice everyone to look at the agreement and request a copy before leaving the gym. Otherwise be ready to pay maintaince, promotion and early termination fees with annual fees.
Not a bad gym. They don't have that wide a variety of equipment and sometimes it's really busy. Overall not too bad.

Place is good, clean and the equipment is good. But it's way too crowded. Have to wait 10-15 mins to get equipment to use.
Very convenient for me to go after work. Has lots of machines but pretty crowded after 6.
The only thing good about this gym is the people working at the reception. I left my stuff overnight and they threw my stuff. And I talked to the manager who was not helpful at all. I joined a week ago and I HATE this place. I cannot even cancel it because it would cost me more money. LOL I wish I had joined planet fitness which is cheaper and I am sure they would not throw your stuff.
Great selection of equipment for the monthly price. Stinky grungy people
Edit: Despite having abided by their policy of coming into the location to cancel my membership, I am still being charged, now being out of state and being told by phone they will need a mailed letter. They did not honor their own policy in the first place and have been siphoning money from my account and expect me to send them another notice via mail. Despicable business practices.
Need dumbbells or machines? You're in luck; there are plenty. You'll also find people concentrating on their own workout all around you, from the newbies to the experienced, which can be positively motivating. Expect it to be a bit cramped though, as it's pretty busy at all hours.
If you need a barbell however (and if you're seriously training with a routine rather than simply "exercising", you will) then expect to add at least an extra half hour to each workout simply waiting for the combined bench press/deadlift/squat section to be available.
Although everyone is willing to rotate between sets at the power rack, since we all understand there are only two racks available for all of us (and thus only two barbells), it's difficult to get a good, focused workout here. Don't be surprised to hear grumbling from the patrons waiting in line for these about needing more racks.
The staff is excellent and nothing more needs to be said in that regard. Hopefully the owners will figure a way to fit in another section for barbell users, otherwise it's a good gym at a great price.
It's good, I mean it looks nice after the new renovation. I signed up here because my best friend works out here so I could have a working out partner, but besides that, the gym is fine.
It gets very packed during morning hours and afternoons. So the ideal time to be go is at 6am or lunch time. You get free parking which is cool. Free WiFi.
They also have a nice smoothie bar. For Less than $30/month (with special promotions) it's good. You pay for what you get.

My experience is limited to the treadmills and elliptical machines, because it is so overwhelming packed after work it's not worth trying to hit free weights or lifting racks. I genuinely wonder if they are breaking fire code at peak hours. The frustration of competitively waiting for a machine is endless.
Note that canceling your membership will require more money.
I otherwise found the facilities to be well maintained and staff to be friendly, but would never recommend Blink or consider returning. My experience at the Grand Central location was consistent.
This place is basically planet fitness. Poorly maintained and operated but cheap enough to entice people to sign up and never show up.
The building has serious issues. The locker room is always flooded and a mess, the hot water and ventilation periodically stops working, and the roof is constantly leaking (for the last 4 years).
It's not a weightlifting gym. Their strength training equipment is limited despite a huge cardio section that is always at least 80% empty.
Too crowded! Bad customer service.
Great gym, friendly staff! I come here when I'm in the area and my workouts are always great. A very clean facility.

The culture and vibe here used to be positive and peasant but has degraded over time as management changed. A lot of the staff members are unprofessional and rude. Worst of all, they don't even lift.
Get ready to sweat, not sure if the gym aircon is even on...Blink brought in fans to try to alleviate the issue but it's still a suana in there. The outdoor air during the summer is a more pleasant temp. Prefer the others in the area and the google reviews agree but this one is most convenient. A real shame.
I strength train so it does have the basic necessities in the type of training I do. Power racks (2x), bench and dumbbells. It gets pretty busy from 5pm-9pm
The gym is way overcrowded that even the machines that people usually skip are occupied. But despite that, for the price (around $26/month) is not bad. It's clean. I've been to other locations where there's less people but it's dirty.
This location recently started providing towel service. You have to pay an extra $15.
