Blink Fitness Chelsea

short: great gym option at affordable price money-saving tip: wait for the semi-annual Groupon special where the membership is half the regular price if pay for one year long: It's okay. It's in a basement, which I'm not a fan of. It is clean and doesn't stink like Planet Fitness. The usual: crowded after work hours and people using the machines as furniture while texting for long periods of time, and people that seem to love to make sure their sweat is absorbed by the next person. I don't enjoy working out when I go to this location, so I just do a little something and leave before it gets crowded. I recommend this location as an alternative to Planet Fitness. If your budget can do it, Crunch is double the price but has classes and a very great atmosphere to work out in.

Out of the 4 gyms I've been in the Manhattan Area (54th Street, Bryant Park, Grand Central and now Chelsea) I would say at this point, this location is the largest Blink Gym in the city. It was almost the most crowded too, I was afraid I was gonna come across a similar situation to the gym in Corona, Queens with withdrawn, rude patrons hogging gym equipment. Fortunately it didn't come to that, I barely had to wait to use any machines that I wanted to make use of so I got a pretty good workout today. The gym interior is comfortable, the location of the area is nice and the commute there isn't complex, just taking the E train gets me there in 45 minutes. I will come around here again whenever I have another itch to come back to Manhattan.

Please give Nicholas a promotion. This Blink employee goes so above and beyond. He really helped me when my heart started to hurt post workout. And that’s not the only jam he helped me out with. Plus he’s so friendly. Truly makes each visit he’s here a joy.

Blink gyms are dotted around the city and I have been to a few and was going to the Avenue A one for over six months. This location in Chelsea is my favorite. It’s large, has lots of excellent machines, a large area for stretching, many cardio machines and a nice ladies locker room. I have been coming here for over five years. The staff are friendly and professional. Since I have been here the managers have had a high turnover - Lizzandro, Dulcie, Bella, Vince, Joel and now Bo. Except for Bella, I liked all of them. Bo is nice too. Team Blink of Adonis, Chris and Ciara who are there in the mornings are the people I see when I come in. They always have smiles on their faces. Recently Blink filed for bankruptcy and I was alarmed that they may close but was relieved that this was not the case. While the playlist is iffy at times I wish they would play more of rock and disco. Much peppier than rap. One person I miss a lot is Sara who was the cleaner. She was excellent. Often the bathrooms are not clean and run out of necessities.

The staff is nice : ) but they’re not very transparent about the $60 annual maintenance fee that comes even with the monthly plans, AND if you want to cancel they’ll still make you pay for another 2 months with a confusing scheme about pro-rated cancellation depending on when in the month you want to cancel. The equipment is somewhat old and not amazingly well-maintained, especially the ellipticals which are pretty run-down. The machines are pretty densely packed as well, and I don’t see any air purifiers or ventilation for Covid safety, and perhaps as a result most of the place reeks of body odor. I’m sure being in a basement and not having any doors or windows directly outside doesn’t help (also lends itself a sorta creepy dungeon vibe)
