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.

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.

I will really miss the Noho Blink. I've been loyal to this Blink location since 2020. It's not perfect, but, for the price and the location, it was amazing. The Life Fitness equipment was great but old. Alas, all of it was recently replaced with awful Matrix machines. They are absolutely horrible, jerky, poorly designed, inaccurate, and just so ugly. They have managed to jam in a lot of new machines, but they are truly a disappointment. It was so fun to run into local legends like Amanda Lepore and other art queers there. I made a lot of awesome gym friends there. But it's ultimately about my working out and I just had to cancel my membership after years of being a loyal Blink member for more than a decade. I'm off to Crunch Bowery where they maintain ties with Life Fitness equipment, which is far smoother and less jerky and painful than Matrix. At the end of the day, this is a personal preference, but the Matrix equipment is just awful. I'm so sorry. From the weight/cable machines to the elliptical machine -- I left my workout feeling awful yesterday. I wish there would have been some customer feedback included in this decision. It's clear they needed newer equipment and they went for the cheapest option. This is a sad farewell.

A little before 9:22PM last night (Aug 20, 2024) I was kicked out of the gym by one of the workers. For lack of a better description there where two dark skinned people working the floor. A taller fit guy and a shorter regular build guy. The short one walked up to me and asked, "You need to switch to a pair of shoes." I said "Oh ok." he said, "Do you have another pair of shoes to ware?" I said "No this is all I have." He said "Then you must leave the premises immediately." I left with no argument but I'll say here and now that was more then a little rude when talking to a customer and I'm a little embarrassed. I am currently in a shelter so wearing sneakers 24/7 is a little tough on the feet. I've even told them this in the past. That's why me and just about everyone in the shelter use slippers because sneakers/feet are impossible to keep clean under those conditions. Now that was ONE problem. Here is the second. During this time a female was lifting weights in front of me to the left. Guess what? She took off her shoes. A guy working one of the leg machines on my right side took of his shoes while doing his work out. This all took place within 10 min of our interaction and all in eyeshot from where I was sitting. In short, it's pretty common. So why was I singled out. Also when you have your personal trainers in the place they also allow the clients to work out shoeless in socks. I've seen that on several occasions. Next when your giving tours to possible future customers they walk in with flip flops, Crocs, sandals you name it and they are not asked to leave. So as far as I can tell as long as the customer is about to give you added business "safety" can be ignored. I've waited till the next day to see if I'm still angry and I am. So this will be sent out today.

Pretty decent basic gym. Don't expect anything fancy but it has the basics and is fairly clean. The cardio equipment was recently updated.
