Blink Fitness 125th 301 West 125th Street, Manhattan, New York,

"I would give 5 stars for the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff—they’re awesome. However, the equipment is lacking. The leg extension machine has been out of order like forever. How long does it take to fix or replace such an essential piece? Additionally, the equipment layout is poorly designed, with machines awkwardly placed in the wrong spots. There’s only one of each type, so you might have to wait a long time to finish your workout while someone else is busy texting on their machine."

"People hog up all of the equipment. I can never find consistency in my workouts because there’s no equipment available or it’s misplaced. Staff needs to be better about assisting customers by helping to replace weights and helping regulate equipment use ensuring that no one person has multiple sets of weights all to themselves."

"Great gym, but there's always someone hogging the leg curls. It's a daily occurrence at this gym and having 2 of them may fix the problem. Would make this a budget 5 star gym but look at the neighborhood. It's as good as it can get."

"Attacks by homeless people within the gym have been increasingly constant in this location! Today, the same person making me uncomfortable in a place that I'm paying for to have peace of mind and de-stress a little. The homeless man threw the weight next to me while I went to get paper to clean the equipment. Another time the same guy verbally attacked my girlfriend in the morning! In other words, I'm paying to feel uncomfortable in the place where I come to relieve my stress from long working hours and nobody do anything to fix this problem! In the morning a lady comes with her suitcase, takes a shower and eats inside the women's changing room! She has already verbally attacked me and other womens and no one does absolutely anything. Disrespect and lack of professionalism! It's been horrible and exhausting coming to work out and always having to go through some discomfort like this!!!! zero for management and zero for employees who don't know how to take any action regarding this problem that we see more and more recurring!!!! (I'm doing my workout so scary and guess who is right by me AGAIN?)"

"I have been a blue member for the past 4 months at 125th and can say my membership is worth the cost. This is my second gym membership in the city and will will keep it that way for as along as this pricing remains ($30/month for anytime access and first month was $1). Many reviews here have spa-like expectations for a budget price tag. I’m however willing to put up with a crowded gym, broken water fountains and more if that means I can avoid owning and maintaining any weights, bulky equipment, etc. a 5min walk from my apartment. All walks of life workout here, make friends with the staff, and clean up after themselves. That’s good enough for me."
