Blink Fitness 54th

Have been a member here for a couple of years. Overall the gym is nice and very convenient for me. Men’s bathroom needs to be cleaned more often. Especially around the sinks which are messy. Signs encourage everyone to have clean hands and to wipe down machines after use. Unfortunately, I observe that most men and some women do not wipe down. So I have to wipe before I use and after I use. Maybe better signage to encourage or for staff to remind members when they check in. Staff are very friendly. Gym is on 2nd and 3rd floors with a lot of steps. Fortunately they have a working elevator for those unable to climb the steps.

Been a member for a few years. I feel like I’ve seen it all here. Vast majority of staff are excellent and nice, I can only remember one over a year ago that was harassing random people because she was bored, but not seen that behavior since. Sometimes if you stay till the end they’ll shut off all the lights for the last 5mins which feels like a safety hazard. Other than that, all other workers have been cheery and very cool, they always say hi and bye to me, that’s a nice touch! I love that I can bring a guest now and again, that’s been great. For the price it’s very good, I don’t use the showers or the bathrooms so can’t speak to that. Right now it is too hot, they have the heating on too high on the lower floor, but that doesn’t bother me after a while, and for most of the year it’s a good temperature. I occasionally wish the sanitary wipes would be replaced more often, but 80% of the time it’s fine. Generally the gym can get a little overcrowded when I go (weekday evenings around 7-9pm) and I wish they would open up later on weekends, especially Sunday, a 7pm close feels way too early to me and ruins my evening-vibe. Clientele ranges massively, with mostly normal people and minority of trashy people, but mostly other customers are fine. I’ve found the equipment to be generally good and well maintained, or they’re quick to fix it if it breaks. Honestly, for the price, I don’t think it can be beaten, so I’m grateful for this gym and the nice people that work there.

A year ago, I probably would have left a 5-star review. What you got for $30-40/month was pretty incredible. But over the last year, the gym has felt more and more like a true "budget" gym. They've discontinued their towel service, they've turned the heat down, and broken equipment often doesn't get fixed (please fix the Airdynes!). Plus, the men's showers often have no soap or broken dispensers, and generally are not well kept. That said - considering what gym memberships cost in NYC, it's still a pretty good deal! You're just getting what you pay for.

So I usually come here at 5 am before work. At first it wasn’t bad, all machines worked, didn’t look too dirty. As weeks have been going on, the gym is disgusting, garbage from the day before all in the stairs on all floors, dirt and dust in corners, lights that have been out and not replaced since the beginning of December and its the middle of January, women’s showers every other week are out of service, two of the three hand sinks in the women’s locker room have been out of service for about two weeks now, machines have been out of service for weeks some even close to over a month. Its ridiculous that this gym is in one of manhattans richest neighborhoods, granted its an affordable gym but it’s embarrassing. Staff is fantastic but the gym it self its not a gym that you feel desirable or motivated to work out in. Please get the lights and machines and showers and sinks working!

7/1: showers not hot. Toilet paper put in bathrooms in men's room. Is anyone running this place. ? Update 5/16 : blink says they're actively working to solve this 'complex' issue of a shower working. Guess they are getting the finest minds in the world to figure this difficult topic out. They're going to have to solicit some PHDs to figure out how to put on this shower curtain. Update 5/14 - no towels but we pay 18 a month for it. Workout. Hoping to go shower before going back to work only to be told they're out of towels. towel fee is a scam. If you get it dispute with your bank. if 75 percent of the showers are working we should be getting 25 percent off monthly dues until it's fixed. demand this before joining the gym. This thing has been broken for weeks. People waiting to shower, running late for work and meetings. Not Acceptable.
