Blink Fitness is located in the Bronx, between the Mt. Eden and 170th Street stations on the 4 train, close to the Highbridge section. It operates on the belief of Mood above Muscle. The price is great and cannot be beat. The facility is clean and well-stocked with wipes, featuring a lot of cardio and weightlifting machines. The staff are friendly, very friendly, and well-prepared, visible around the clock. The gym is in a Spanish community, and most members are Hispanic. It is a good place to exercise, to meet people and friends. However, the facility is actually quite small compared to other locations. A significant con is that it is consistently very crowded. It is packed like a night club from sun up to sun down, especially between 3 pm and 9 pm, so it is best to go in the morning or on weekends. Members often need to fight for a machine or weight, and a common problem is people hogging multiple machines at a time, holding them while they talk, rest, or text. There is a huge lack of trainers. Additionally, the bathrooms and lockers are frequently reported as dirty. Overall, it is a decent gym that is good for a basic workout, but it is often very busy.
