Blink Fitness Noho

I like this place. I usually rate these places a 4 star because there's usually room for improvement despite how good they look but I had a decent time here. Small grievances or things of note. Keep your eyes peeled. There is no obvious sign outside that you're near this gym, I had to look directly at the building to know that's the location because if you don't, you'll easily walk past it. The locker room is also on the small side, scratch that, it's basically a cubicle so you're kinda screwed during peak hours when a lot of people come here. Now back to the meat of this review. The place is deceptively large despite how narrow it looks. It's basically like the long 4 bar block in Tetris. Small in width, vast in length. Majority of the cardio machines are in the East Wing while the strength and conditioning machines are in the West Wing. I must've lucked out coming here in the afternoon at a location within the city because getting access to a machine was no issue. EVEN THE WEIGHT AREA WASN'T PACKED AND ALL THE WEIGHTS ARE RACKED WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE! OK now I remember why I'm giving this place a 5 star lol. It kinda felt like I was in one of those hotel gyms where they're just there as an extra incentive so you don't have to worry about a bunch of people crowding up the place because it's not advertised as a gym. Well this is a gym but if you're lucky as I was, you have technically free reign to any machine. Your experience might be different depending on the time you come in but I was able to spend all of my time working out and basically 0 of it waiting on someone to get off a machine.

Pros The gym is clean and the new equipment is nice. The location is very convenient and monthly dues are extremely reasonable. Cons My main complaints would be how crowded it gets in the afternoons, especially in the weight area. The men’s locker room is also small.

I recently started going to the Noho location of Blink Fitness. I was immediately struck by the cleanliness and overall appearance of the space. Everything was in such good condition and the gym was spotless. The front desk personnel are outstanding. Especially Jessica and Terri. They keep the place running like a well oiled machine. They are both professional knowledgeable and courteous. They are both assets to this company.. Jessica keeps the place so clean during her shift and she is just amazing. Terri is also an amazing person . He's always smiling. I actually enjoy coming to this location because of these two amazing human beings. Thank you.

*2/11/25: Music start time is now 5:50 meaning that members spend 50 minutes from opening feeling like they shouldn’t be there yet. *12/04/24 5:30AM: one of your employees was publicly disparaging teachers and principals based on a singular negative experience she had had at her child’s school. I don’t know her name, but she’s the mousy one with pallid skin. She took out a fake head and proceeded to braid hair on the check-in counter. A good use of company time?? *5/30/24: someone please tell the employee to stop eating breakfast in the locker room. It’s weird and gross. *5/9/24: 6AM, you have a staff room, right? There is an employee who routinely hangs out in the locker room eating breakfast and watching videos on his phone. You have probably the smallest locker room in the city. What is wrong with this guy? Tell him to use the lounge instead of further crowding the space. *11/27: 6:30AM, toilet paper in only one stall, soap in only one shower, staff scrolling phones at front desk. Get it together. *5/16: You are raising the price of towel service to $15 a month, yet right now there are no towels available. I’m paying 50% more for a service that is unavailable. You suck. *3/21/23: 5:45 and the music still isn’t on. *3/15/23: Oops! Someone overslept this morning! 5:15 and doors still locked, lights off, members waiting in the cold. Be better. *Update 1/17: the towel situation seems to have improved. These days the music is being turned on very late, though. Sometimes not til after 6Am. You need to keep towels in stock. If members are paying extra for this service, then you should never run out. No excuses. I’m reading a lot of negative reviews about Blink billing policy and not about this actual location. This Blink is spacious and well-organized. Staff are very friendly, and speak to you not just at check-in, but also while you’re on the floor. Someone is always cleaning here. This Blink is completely above ground, which I consider an asset. Also, they have a water bottle filler. In the locker room, the toilets aren’t directly across from the sinks, and that offers a little more privacy.

The machines actually work! One of the best Blinks I’ve been to. Staff was helpful despite my complex billing situation. I wish the men’s locker room was a tad bigger because it gets a little overcrowded from time to time but that’s just me nitpicking.
