Blink Fitness Gates

If you’re considering personal training at Blink—or just need guidance to train effectively—book a session with Teddy! I’ve been training with him consistently for 8 months (and for a year before a short break), and he’s absolutely incredible. He pushes you hard in a safe, personalized way, and thanks to his expertise and encouragement, I’m finally hitting my fitness goals and feeling stronger & healthier than ever. Teddy is not only a fantastic trainer but also one of the kindest people you’ll meet. Everyone at Blink knows and loves him, and he brings such great energy to the gym. As for the gym itself, Blink is always clean, welcoming, and well-equipped with friendly staff and plenty of space. If you’re ready to take your fitness to the next level, I can’t recommend Teddy enough!

Ya'll gotta do something about these people taking multiple machines wasting other members' time. Reserving a machine by placing your phone and bottle on the bench is bs. One machine at time, come on. Respect others and their time. Update: New Year, same problem. I've talked to the individual and talked to the front desk. Nothing was done. I called the front desk, and they said they would have someone talk to this person. Nothing. Ya'll can't let people continue to hog machines with their shit.

Decent layout and well-maintained facilities for a chain, if often a little too busy. One star because of the gym’s insane cancellation policies. Had to provide a bunch of arbitrarily determined documentation to cancel my “no-commitment” membership without getting charged a termination fee, and when I managed to gather and send in the docs they revoked my gym access immediately rather than at the end of the current pay period, as I had explicitly requested. Won’t be returning to Blink in the future, except maybe as a guest.

The staff at this gym is rude. I can tell management changed since beginning of last year because you notice the difference. Back maybe 1-2 years ago there was this black manager guy with glasses that was always there, very polite, walking around the gym and all the staff use to be so nice. NOW, it feels like kids running the gym and you can tell. I go to this blink because of the convenience of it being by my home, but I am always uncomfortable going because of the service provide. I now go to the one on knickerbocker or Myrtle because their service is much better and friendly staff, but it’s such an inconvenience to travel. The staff at the Gates location shuts the music off 30-1hour before closing. They yell at everyone in the gym at 10pm saying they are going to close the locker rooms at 10:30pm, when they actually close at 11. NEVER experienced anything like that before. On Tuesday night 3/11 the staff even shut off the lights in the locker room while me and other people were in the locker rooms getting dressed at closing! It was so uncomfortable and frightening. I was told to look into that to see if it’s a lawsuit. Additionally, yesterday afternoon I was turned away because their card systems were down and they said they are not able to charge my card for balance for March of $30. After I’ve been with blink for 4 years and one $30 payment that was their issue on their side, I had to turn back around and leave. One of the girls there offered NO solution and seems to not care at all. I only pay for a membership with blink because of its convenience of it being right next to my home. But being that I never go to the gates location because it is so unprofessional and feels like kids are running it, what is the point of having a membership here if I’m forced to travel to a better location. I can just go with a different gym that provides great service and amenities and up to date equipment. PLEASE GET NEW MANAGEMENT TO TRAIN THE STAFF THERE. This is the only gym I go to where the staff is not friendly and make things uncomfortable for people working out there especially at closing time.

I would highly recommend trying some training sessions with Matthew Danner. I’ve been training with him for a year and he’s transformed my body! I feel so relieved and supported because I can just follow his plan and I don’t have to stress over it. Plus, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from him and am much more comfortable in the gym on my own because of our training. Otherwise, this Blink has everything you need and the staff are super nice. I would definitely recommend trying it out.
