Blink Fitness Concourse Village is a gym located near the 161/Yankee Stadium and Melrose stops. The gym believes in Mood above Muscle. Reviews note that many staff members are friendly, funny, warm, and helpful, offering great customer service and greetings upon entry. Specific praise is given for staff who are helpful in emergencies. The gym is appreciated for its cleanliness, with staff actively maintaining it. However, some front desk staff are noted for socializing in large groups and sometimes ignoring members. The location is described as getting packed by the day, making it difficult to get a machine, especially in the afternoon. While some cardio machines are always empty, there is a demand for more leg machines. The gym was recently re-arranged, but reviewers express hope for new equipment, concerned that the change was in vain without adding newer machines found at other Blink locations. Despite the crowds, it remains the closest gym for many members.
I have been to many gyms in New York City and it is the second best gym in my fifty one years of training.

I enjoy going to this gym but The youngsters at the front desk need to get it together. They are constantly socializing (in large groups) and often time ignore the members coming in and out.

Love this location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Always clean. You're never waiting too long to use equipment that is in use. For the most part, people work out expeditiously and push out.
