Blink Fitness Boerum Hill

This might be the most condensed Blink Gym I've been in but to it's credit, it's got a large variation of machines. Thankfully I have come here in the earlier part of the morning because I can imagine this place getting packed and I'm sure it gets crowded easily. Despite the smallish size of the place, no windows and the area feeling like Stu Hart's Dungeon on a Summer day, the vibe is friendly, the staff is receptive and I didn't have to wait long for machines here, maybe I should travel to the Brooklyn locations more. The service and availability here makes up for the cubicle sized basement gym.

UPDATE: they switched out their Life Fitness treadmills for the awful cheap Matrix machines and I immediately canceled my membership. Original review: I live about 200ft from another gym, but I walk 12 minutes to Blink simply because they care about maintaining good quality equipment and the space is always clean. Staff members are super chill and friendly, and I can’t recall having any issues other than occasionally having to wait for a machine during peak hours in the morning. The only thing i could wish for is perhaps more exercise mats since those go FAST during the busiest times, and/or more space for stretching and barbell work. The layout feels cramped at times when there’s a lot of folks around, but overall it’s a nice and incredibly affordable option in the neighborhood.

I worked with Alexa for a year at Boerum Hill Blink. She helped me diversify my work outs and motivated me about how much I’m capable of. She was so knowledgeable about specific exercises to address any muscle groups I wanted to work on. She was always professional, friendly, and kind.

NO PHONE SERVICE ! With so many people using their phones as assist while working out- we need gyms we can use our phones in. This gym have a big ass empty lobby, then makes you go work out in the basement. Booooo. The one star is for the female employee that says Hi! And Bye!

Trainer would cancel at the last minute or night before with crazy excuses. Unreliable. Membership disinterested, will even charge you to leave. Avoid.
