Blink Fitness - Noho

It's not bad.... Like I actually like the gym- it's what you pay for and it's cheap. Nothing special. It can get pretty crowded as expected so I'd advise going between 9-11 am or 8pm-close. That's when it's the emptiest and you can actually get a bench or machine.

What I don't like... is the staff. They do entirely too much. You're apparently not allowed to wear slides because it's a "hazard" so they literally kicked me out- mid workout.... Like you couldn't have let me finish..? Quite ridiculous... I've paid more at other gyms... and they've said nothing. Plus... I came in multiple times before... with slides on... no one said anything. I'm not barefoot... I have on slides... but okay. The reviews you read about the staff are unfortunately accurate... I ignored them but just be aware. I wouldn't say it's enough to not get a membership- especially if you're trying to avoid the crowd of students in the student gyms at 404 (if you go to nyu).

This gym honestly is trash. There's only two squat racks, nowhere else to do deadlifts, so many excessive treadmills that no one uses where the space could be used for something more useful like more squat racks??? For the size of this gym having two is ridiculous. I've been coming this entire week and haven't been able to get any time on either squat rack. I truly regret joining this gym but I know canceling will be even more of hassle. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL

Gym is decent but some people don't utilize the barbell appropriately. For example, members putting the barbell in the corner for t-bar row, a back exercise. This can damage the bottom corner of walls and also damage the barbell by causing a bent in the middle of the bar which can be dangerous for benching and squatting and deadlifting if one does not know the bar is bent. This will cause the bar to roll on the hands while benching and or deadlifting and upper back while squatting. I have address this to some staff but they said theirs nothing that can be done. I hope management can do something about this and ask members not to do the t bar row because it can damage the bar and or wall. Instead get a t-bar row machine or bring back the hoist you use to have and put it by the side of  the squat rack...

Amanda Rodriguez was helpful, but the club manager, Jocelyn Santiago was utterly unsympathetic and unhelpful when I needed to cancel. Automated caller recordings could display more warmth/understanding.

Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The front desk is rude to say the least and the manager was even more rude. The locker rooms are tiny and half the time the AC is not working. This company also seems to have some questionable policies when it comes to cancellation. There are better gym options out there. Steer clear of Blink.

They complain about Air Force shoes and kick you out for non athletic shoes. The manager is insane. Terrible community there.

Had my stuff stolen at of my locked locker. Now I'm on the hook for buying a new AirPod case and getting a new ID. Credit cards and debit card will stolen too.

Went into the locker room so what looked like my backpack on the floor in a bathroom stall, but my
Lock was still on my locker so I didn't think it was. Unlocked my lock and my locker was empty. Then I realized it was my backpack and I went and checked it and realized what was missing.

This my first time visiting a Manhattan location. I was in the neighborhood and it was conveniently located close enough to Union Square where a friend and I were yesterday. This location seemed to have almost all of the machines I needed for my workout. I love the single floor layout rather than the multi floor layout that a couple of locations in Brooklyn have. I also really liked the colors (grey and neon green) of the lockers in the locker room and the style of the doors (a glassy finish instead of metal). People also didn't seem to hog the machines which is the bane of every gym experience I have had.

I did personal training with blink, and the trainer told me that I would be billed per session that I used. I then wen't away for two months and realized that they had signed me up for a reoccurring monthly fee. I have tried to get them to refund me the money but they refuse to do so. Even though their staff misrepresented what I was signing up for.

I have spent months and at least 10 different times to contact any of their staff. Their customer service is terrible. If you email their help line they will take days to respond to you and send you links to the FAQ on their website. I have called the manager at blink Noho who has refused to help me. I even talked to their customer care line who wouldn't help me either (they said call the manager).

Finally my only option was to see if my credit card company could negotiate on my behalf. As this was going on blink decided to contact me and tell me I owed them money. I called my credit card company and they said that blink has yet to respond to them or my complaint.  If you are looking for a gym I recommend looking elsewhere. Things were find until I tried to get a problem solved and leave, then all of a sudden they are unhelpful and try and take as much money as they can from you.

What a nightmare. After being yelled at by Joel and Lina for simply asking them to clean some stuff very politely Joel walked and gave me a spray bottle and paper towels! The other girl Lina when I asked her for her name screamed at me that I was harassing her saying she was gonna call the police! She called me a privileged  fuck and told me I had to leave. When I said I would be contacting corporate she continued to scream and make a huge scene cussing in front of everyone. This place is a mess. Do not bother going here. The employees and rude and miserable!!! Saying they're being harassed because you ask for a name! Wow. Crazy!!
