Blink Fitness Springfield Gardens

This gym use to be really good but it got worse after they changed management. The placements of the wipes are inconvenient. The way they were placed before was perfectly fine. The men’s bathroom is unkept. The toilet paper is never placed in the case properly. They yell at people to leave the gym 10 minutes before it actually closes. If people are paying monthly they should get their full time.

The attention is terrible in trying to solve a response because they charged me my annual fee in November and closed the place in Jamaica and trying to find a solution and an agreement because they canceled my Brescia menu. The only thing I receive is a response from the manager that it is not his problem because he did not see an email, which an email arrived on February 17 and the next day I went to see it and it would not let me open. What a lack of seriousness in charging if they are good but in giving a solution it is terrible.He says that they put notices on the door but I stopped going because I moved to a farther part and when I wanted to leave I had to pay to leave, so they were able to get me out and at least make a call since I could enter another one. That is my dissatisfaction and after paying my annual fee, what a lack of respect, so I do not recommend it, even though I wanted to return, it seems to me that they should give me a solution.

I have been going to this location for a little less than a year. It has its pros and cons but it is the best blink I’ve gone to so far and I’ve worked out in the corona, woodside and FiDi locations. I honestly like that they recently placed sanitation wipes in more accessible locations. Prior to this, they used to be very far, the trash bins would overfill and the wipes would run out. So I appreciate this new change they have made. This gym is not overly packed and staff is friendly. Equipment is organized and other gym goers are respectful unlike the other locations I have gone to. My only complaint is that some machines will go for months without being fixed. This can be annoying especially when it is the only machine.

Poor quality/updated machines or lack of essential machines: 1. Only 1 chest fly machine 2. Only 1 functional trainer cable machine in addition to the bigger cable machine 3. Machines get broken all the time (ex: at this moment of writing this review, the leg extension machine is broken and management hasn’t done anything about it yet). 4. Horribly designed lying down hamstring leg curl 5. Only 1 leg extension machine 6. No incline bench press machine (forced to use the squat rack for incline bench press) 7. Too many cardio machines that take up too much gym space and is never filled up (this space can be better utilized with more UPDATED) weight lifting equipment) 8. Outdated old machines 9. Have to “sign out” basic cable attachments - why would people steal the cable handle attachments? As a result of all these things, you have to wait constantly for machines. I understand that Blink Fitness is suppose to be a “budget” gym but when other blinks in Manhattan and Brooklyn have updated their machines with higher quality versions, it’s a shame that the Springfield Gardens location has outdated/broken machines. By fixing these issues, this Blink location could be a lot better for everyone. But it’s not there right now.

Horrible management??? This new person, harasses , tries to bully, & makes up things on the spot.. I bring my 14 year old son with me only on some Saturdays, has been coming for 3 yrs now. he sits in the waiting area doesn't move at all .. the new Manger doesn't have the common courtesy to wait till im leaving to speak with me.. he waits till im n the middle of a workout to approach me ON THE FLOOR tryin to make a scene. Talking bout the cameras don't catch everything, i explained he a teenager he don't need to be watched, he proceeds to make reasons up to why he can't wait in the waiting area, Then threatens to cancel my membership. That's when i got aggravated, why in the hell are you talking crazy.. who is this new guy boss?? Do better !!
