Blink Fitness Jackson Heights

Yesterday was my 1st and last time going to this gym. I'm not someone who cares to leave reviews but I would leave zero stars if I could - in my 8 years of strength training I have NEVER seen a gym so packed, people so inconsiderate, and weights left all over the place. All it takes is one second of inattention to cause an injury. There was a young woman on the leg press for 45 minutes I kid you not - even with 4 other people including myself asking how many sets she had left there was no sense of urgency, as if she owned the equipment. With the amount of people there at a time I would be surprised if another pandemic didn't spark, there HAS to be some health hazard measure in place. Just because we have vaccines for Covid doesn't mean it been eradicated amongst other illnesses. That same carelessness is what cause NYC to become the epicenter in the first place. I can tell when a business is money hungry and when they actually value the clientele. I'm not sure how much of what the owner/managers can do here but something has to change!! It's ABSURD

this gym has been taking money from the accounts of the members for absolutely no reason and no warning, my boyfriend recently had 3 charges made on his card from this gym. the first was understandable, but the other two were completely uncalled for. 2 payments of 58 dollars and one today that was 29 dollars. They’ve given him the run around telling him to wait for it to stop pending, when he went and asked for his money back they told him to go to the bank and ask for his money back there, the bank told him before hand to go to the gym since they charged him. The lady he talked to the first time about the 2nd 58 dollar charge avoided him recently and has been avoiding throughout this whole ordeal. His friend has also been charged about 300 dollars and given the run around as well. Honestly should not be in business if they’re not going to give explanations or warnings on unexpected charges. do not go to this gym!!

It would be great if the staff would leave fort front desk, and let clients know that they have to share the weights and stations. It would be great, if staff intervened in this way, several days a week. I realize that the staff's priority is to sign-up more member's, but it would be nice if when the staff aren't busy; that they walk the gym floor, teaching clients that they must share the equipment; and stations with other member's!

They will charge you $62 yearly maintenance fee after your first month. Which is non-refundable even if you cancel your membership the third month. I have no idea how they are allowed to just do that. Companies like these bring in as much cash as possible from their members. It feels like a scam, and they act like it’s just company’s policy (bs). The gym itself is great but charging people before notifying them is a scam like activity. I’m so relieved that I’m not part of this gym anymore.

AVOID like the plague if you actually want to work out. I have never seen a gym so packed at ALL times in my entire life. I have tried going during different times but this is place is insanely packed that it's impossible to work out here. The crowd is very young and it seems to be a hang out spot for them rather than a gym to work out. Their hours are also awful. They close at 7pm on sat/sundays. Management should stop accepting new members or extend their hours to try to make it less packed. Some members are inconsiderate and hold on to several barbels at the same time. I will request an early cancelation without penalty because I can't have a normal workout here. And to me that is a breach of contract.
