Its crowded especially during peak hours as the space is not vast but also tried coming very early morning and it was much more spacious because its not packed. Regardless of the crowd, I appreciate their equipments, also this place is well managed and well sustained. Okay overall!

This gym sounds too good to be true because it is. It's the typical scam business where they rope you in with a low membership but make their money on ridiculous cancellation clauses. My daughter joined and was working out with a trainer. She notified the trainer she needed to pause training. The trainer never stopped the fees then left the gym. Blink will not refund the fees even though they admit the trainer was in error. So we either go to arbitration or let it go. DO NOT JOIN BLINK! Greedy admin with no scruples!

This is genuinely the worst gym I have ever been to. The staff is extremely rude and bad at communication. I wish I listened to the reviews before joining. The membership is only $40 for a reason - they do everything they can to trick you into absurd fees. Even when they wrongfully charge you, they REFUSE refunds. Do not join this gym.

My goal is to visit as many Blink gyms in NYC. Location: 2 floors .. the main floor is on ground level (machines, cardio, stretch area) and the locker rooms and additional equipment (dumbbells, barbells) is downstairs. Elevator: yes, to get downstairs Convenience: kinda far from subway since its on Ave A .. Think 1st Ave 14th St L and 6 Astor Place are closest but a walk for sure. Gym Size: Small. 2 Floors but definitely feels cluttered. Everyone and every piece of equipment (be it free weight or machines) is on top of each other. There is a stretch area but even there there are random pieces of equipment. Tall "I" shape. Locker Room Size (Men's): Average to large for a gym this size. Equipment (outside of the basics mentioned below): battle ropes but not a lot of room to use them, didn't see good plyo boxes, No heavy Kettlebells above 50 lbs, no TRX Crowdedness: Very crowded. Audience trends to younger residents in the area (sub 30) Cleanliness: OK. Staff Friendliness: Friendly. Hours: 7 days/wk. Better then other Blinks with later hours on weekends and website says 24 hours during the week. This is unique. Overall: OK gym for the price with the key negative being its size relative to crowd. There is a lot of equipment here but you feel like you are on top of everything and fighting for every inch of free workout space. Positive is its extended hours. Seems overstaffed as well. *Unless noted, assume all Blink gyms have locker rooms, water fountain, stretch area, dumbbells, kettlebells (up to 50lbs), smith machines, weight machines, cardio equipment (Rower, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stairclimber), showers, wipes, Towel machine (pay separate charge). Assume you can scan in via App or Apple Wallet/Watch **Note: I am a Blink user with entry possibility of all their NYC area gyms via an Add-on to my Classpass membership. (I did not want to deal with Blink corporate in case I needed to cancel and wanted to avoid a startup fee or annual charge). I do not take showers at the gym and tend to go off-peak hours.

EXTREMELY DIRTY GYM, the only thing that gets cleaned are the machines when CUSTOMERS are sanitizing after use. The stretching and yoga area in the far corner of the gym with the blue flooring that is BLACK BECAUSE OF HOW DIRTY IT IS that they expect us to want to workout on. Definitely hasn't been SANITIZED IN YEARS. NO AC OR SANITATION WHATSOEVER. HORRIBLE FILTHY GYM

Very unfriendly and unknowledgeable staff. Extremely poor air ventilation, VERY HOT AND STUFFY. Horrific music playlist it's very outdated and not energetic or motivational.

Smaller gym but I avoid the crowds and waits for machines because I go during off peak hours, staff is friendly, broken machines repaired in a reasonable amount of time, gym kept clean. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the men's room scale, sometimes it weighs properly and other times it hangs, meaning you can move the scale weight up or down plus or minus up to 5 lbs your actual weight before the scale moves in either direction so you can't tell if you've gained or lost weight by getting an accurate reading. Does seem like they try to "fix" it because it does weigh properly at times but then goes back to hanging again, maybe the scale should just be replaced. I did mention this to staff on a couple of occasions over the last several months, one staff member said they were aware, no permanent fix or replacement has been done as of this review.

Great gym with all the equipment you need to get and stay fit. Wonderful, friendly employees who greet you on the way in and when leaving the gym. Blink is worth it!

Giving this location four stars good equipment big space two levels staff is friendly and this location is actually 24 hours 4 days a week and unlike other blinks instead of closing at 7 pm on the weekends they close at 8 pm and 12 am on Fri which is extremely convenient for me I am a gym rat and have a very busy schedule work full-time and the 24-hour location is convenient for me p have the green membership so I work out at a bunch of different I will say during the peak hours to gym is extremely crowded on both levels this is why I take advantage of the 24 hours 4 days a week

I go to Blink on Avenue A. The staff is really welcoming. I often take a shower and the showers and the locker room are clean. It's a friendly place and I love working out there.

The equipment and space is on par with other locations, however smaller than most I have been in. Has a good neighborhood vibe, lots of college students, so sometimes long wait times for equipment. Could have a Much better selection of personal trainers.

Decent gym but the air conditioners are placed directly on top of you in some spots

Small gym but price per month is good. Also, very clean and there are rarely any machines broken.

At first was skeptical about this gym. Would pass the gym, and it would always look packed. I found a deal online that said to join for 1 cent and decided to try. Started going at different times to try and avoid the crowds. And found a time that the crowds are actually decent. The gym is very clean. It has a shower in the locker rooms. And the staff is very welcoming and friendly.
