I have the green membership for Blink Fitness so it gives me access to every location. I'm choosing to review this location first because it's closest to home for me since I only take a single, 15 minute bus ride from home to this location. I don't think it's as bad as everyone else claims it to be, but there are areas for improvement and some guidelines for others to have a more fulfilling time at the gym. For starters I'm not knocking the place for having cardio machines taking half of the gym place, I do start off with a brisk 20-30 minute jog on the treadmill but they could use some more machines for building the legs and quads. They only got 4 leg press machines and not only they get occupied quickly, people tend to do super sets on them with some lasting as long as a half hour. I'm not in the business of waiting for a machine of limited quantity to become free of use so maybe 2 or 3 more leg press machines, especially when the place gets busy would be great. Yesterday when I came to this place, all of the machines were finally in working order but I do have to address how slow the upkeep on some of the machines are. I don't know how long it takes for them to get fixed but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't last a week and it would be ideal if the employees don't slack off too much and have more faulty machines pile up on that "to fix list". I've come around here long enough to have an understanding of how packed the place can get at any given time. If you want to have as many options available at the gym, best to go there early, notably around opening time to 1 PM on the weekdays because the Afternoons and Evenings can get filled up fast. The weekends have an even shorter range of free time with the gym getting heavy with people as soon as 11:30 AM. I haven't had any issues with anybody in the gym but it does get bothersome when you have an idea of what machine you want to use only for someone to be in the middle of a superset and even worse when someone else is waiting behind that person. Crowdedness and slow maintenance aside, It's a good spot to kill some time to build your frame or your endurance, plus the staff are pretty chill.

Staff are friendly, they do clean the floor on certain schedules and check & refill paper wipes. Overall Happy with the place. It is crowded in the day and night. So Best to go before work in morning if you want to avoid the crowd. much cheaper than other gyms, only 10 bucks a month (basic membership of this gym only)., it is def worth what you paying for. Can’t complain much w that rate. Do wish there are 2 or 3 additional bars , hate to see bench or rack sitting idles as ppl take the bars to do deadlift.As of 1/4/2024, there are two new bars ! Good stuff !

Great Gym, if you need a trainer I'd recommend Quaron Blount. The best trainer I've had. He's extremely knowledgeable & experienced in fitness and health.

Look at all these empty machine with not enough bars. Where is the management? I tell the employees and they say they'll tell their managers but the messages get lost. I pay for for the benches to sit empty. This is just ridiculous.

Very nice and clean gym. Staff is very welcoming everyday makes me want to actually go to the gym. Especially the workers named Alison and the manager Francheska. They make the experience better and will keep my membership going because of them.

Multiple machines don't work, missing pieces and some staff members are rude and unhelpful. Don't recommend this location. Best to find another gym near by because once you sign up you'll have to pay a fee to cancel.

imagine waking up early before your shift to get a workout & the gym isn't even open yet. mind you the gym is supposed to be open at 5am on weekdays & it was well passed 7am. things happen but i think I speak for everyone who was standing outside in the freezing cold. we pay money in return for your services & your employees failed to carry out their duties.

If you want to go to a good blink fitness franchise, please choose any gym other than this. This gym is consistently packed but barely has any good equipment. A good portion of their equipment tends to be broken a lot. And I don't understand why they try to cut corners when it's obviously the only gym people use in this neighborhood. They haven't had disinfected wipes for almost 2 years. They used to have a unlabeled spray that people would clean the equipment with. But now we're using grout and tile cleaner. And this makes me wonder; will I get a rash at some point? Does this even kill major viruses? (Meningitis, strep, Corona, even MRSA) This isn't even a disinfectant spray. Is their bottom line hurting this much that they need to cut corners like this. I begrudgingly come here occasionally because it's the closest gym from my job. But it isn't worth the cost and the effort to come here if you don't live walking distance. The staff is cool and they clean regularly. But even in spite of this the gym still is sometimes dirty or in disarray with weights everywhere. There was a point in time when I used a shower at the gym, but for a while there was insanely low water pressure and no hot water whatsoever. This gym is waaaaay too busy and waaaaay too packed to justify the way they basically try to skimp everything to save money. At least give us proper disinfectant wipes, It's been way too long for us to just be using spray bottles after almost 2 years if not more. Don't come here unless you have no other options

If it's possible I would give this location a zero star. The staff is excellent and are always helpful. As for the condition of the gym equipments its deplorable. Numerous equipments are out of order literally every week. When I went today half the treadmills were broken and out of order a sharp increase from the past months ??♂️. Out of the few that worked some of them are literally on life support, because when you start running on them they start making loud banging noise, some don't even go up to the set speed or incline. Which leaves maybe 4-5 fully functioning treadmill for the whole gym. With the rearrangement they made at the gym they can afford to buy and fit more strength training equipments. The wait time is horrendous since the gym is always packed. Out of all the Blink location this is by far the worst place in nyc. With the condition of the equipment's the wait time is much longer since people wait for the functioning ones. We pay a yearly maintenance fee, I wonder where this money goes if the condition of the equipments are subpar.As for bathrooms it is much cleaner than earlier months. But I swear how hard is it to keep the soaps refilled. In the mens bathroom only one of the two dispensers work and only two of the three sinks work. I wonder if I have to start bringing in soap from home smh.I just want to reiterate aside from the staff, the condition of this gym went down the toilet. The membership fee is no longer justifiable.

Echoing the sentiments of other reviewers, this gym is undeniably a place to steer clear of. Its numerous issues and glaring lack of maintenance create an environment that is far from conducive to a positive fitness journey.It's genuinely disheartening to witness a consistent cycle of broken equipment week after week. The treadmill debacle, as highlighted by others, is nothing short of exasperating. Over three-quarters of the treadmills are in a state of disrepair. The incline do not even work, some of them are literally on life support and sound like they are literally about to fall apart with every step, for some of them the speed is inaccurate. One leg equipment has been literally out of service for months. There isn't even enough bars for adding plates. Every since one of them has been taken out from the deadlift section, people take the bar from the bench to do deadlifts. So now if you decide to do bench you will find a bench with no bars. The list of complaints for the condition of the equipment's is endless.The list of grievances regarding the condition of the equipment feels never-ending. The gym boasts a considerable customer base, making it perplexing as to why the upkeep of the equipment remains so egregiously poor. It's especially frustrating given the exorbitant annual fees we are required to pay.If anyone is thinking of signing up to this place, you will be better off signing up to other gyms. I already know Blink is gonna respond to this review just like the other ones with regards to the poor condition of this facility with "thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Blink Ozone Park! We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve!"All I can say is they will likely take another few months to fix one equipment at a time considering they send out one technician once in a blue moon. If they had some common sense they could easily close the gym for one week and service all the equipment's with the yearly maintenance fees.

In Earlier times this gym use to be really good. The staffs are great but the facility is horrible now. More than half the treadmills don't work. The few that's working is holding on for dear life. It almost feels like while you're walking or running the machine will fall apart. The incline and speed on the machine isn't accurate and it remains at the same speed all the time.Because there's just a few machine that's working, there is always a line of people waiting behind you to use the machine. That should not be the case. This location makes alot of money. Many many many people are going there and everyone is paying a fee to maintain the facility but it's far from being maintained. The hand sanitizer and soaps are empty. It is just not what it used to be. The more people joined, the more you'd think they would care for the facility. Horrible!!

Been going to this gym for a little over a year now, the staff are always nice and helpful, but the biggest flaw this gym has is how often the equipment is broken. Honestly for such a small gym they can’t really afford to have anything down for long periods of time. I don’t mind paying an increase in membership for “maintenance”, however I do have an issue when the maintenance itself has gotten worse as the prices increase that’s just bad business.

If I could rate this location a zero, I would.. Too many little kids just standing and chatting not working out. It feels like a playground.Dislike that the machinesThe machines are either always out of order or it doesn't work well. This place needs new equipment. The Air Conditioner sometimes is off on a day that is like 90 degrees outside.

I went to cancel my membership. Paid the cancel fee and yet I still got charged for my membership. I've gone countless times to see why I am being charged. And nothing I've told them to cancel my account and still nothing even the manager told me he was going to cancel it and still my account is active. This is ridiculous
