Blink Fitness East Orange

The first time at this location and the greeting i received from Nazira and Tyrel was very warm. Nazira was funny and very personable didnt make me feel uncomfortable. I learned Tyrel is a great personal trainer here, and he gave great tips as well. Both were warm and motivational. The gym has plenty of room and extra machines no waiting necessary. If you need assistance w. Anything im sure you can go ask away. Beverages available up front, toiletries offered in restroom. Bathrooms stocked and cleaned. Great music!!! the temperature in the place was good, not too cold, and not too humid. I will definitely be returning and sharing this location with friends.

I go here as a guest with my friend to meet with her trainer Donna. Donna is great and I highly recommend her. The facility is nice and clean. Well stocked with equipment and is surprisingly large. I wouldn't join only cause it is pretty far from my house.

Leaving this review SOLELY on customer service. The Club Manager Dayshawn (my apologies if I misspelled your name sir) was extremely helpful, courteous, and ultimately found the solution to my membership issue. Most importantly, he had the most pleasant tone and doubled down to solve the problem rather than passing me off. Thanks again man!

Very disappointed in this location, I recently went to this gym with a guest and was denied access because he was wearing closed off Yeezys with socks. I was told by Jocelyn that he needed to wear sneakers to enter the gym floor. I still wanted to honor her request by letting her know my guest was not going to workout. As she was speaking a man walked in with sandals and socks and when I questioned why she did not ask him the same question, she stated she knew him. She showed me the set of rules posted on the wall stating workout attire should be worn. The rule does not specifically stated sneakers. I would like blink to really educate their workers on what workout attires entails. There are many workouts that do not allow sneakers for example Pilates, yoga and the list goes on and the person who was actually going to workout was wearing sneakers. The worst part about this was we had to go to a different location that was inconvenient for us just to be allowed in without anyone ever questioned anything about our attire! If this is a blink fitness rule it should be apply to every location. I believe this was Jocelyn opinion which I’ve stated to her and those whom she called to assist me even though I did not request to be speaking to anybody else. Jocelyn as a manager you should be able to handle your job not send it to the next person because you are unqualified for the position! I have reported this incident to blink fitness. Jocelyn should focus on her job instead of flirting with a police officer at the desk. If you wanted to show off authority to your little cop friend you could have done it elsewhere instead of harassing customers.

If it weren’t for the manager, I forget her name, tall dark skin sweet girl, I’d give 1 star!!! I’ve held off on doing a review because she’s so kind and really tries to resolve issues but the staff there is absolutely RUDE and INCONSIDERATE. Kiandra- girl was at the front desk was unnecessarily rude and condescending when I was inquiring about my membership. Walked off in the middle of my question and went to get the manager. Her attitude was disgusting even when her manage was speaking to her One of the trainers-had locked hair and where’s a full ski mask is BEYOND RUDE EVERY TIME we cross paths. He hogs gym equipment, turns the music up EXTREMELY loud even when there’s no class in the shared room making it hard for ppl working out together to hear one another. He was also rude to the manger when she asked him to turn it down a bit. Whew I’ll stop here but if it wasn’t for the location and super nice manger I’d NEVER RECOMMEND this location to anyone!!!
