Blink Fitness Corona

Today was my last day going to Blink Corona. I started going in May. I realized how outrageously crowded this gym was the first day I went, but I wanted to make the best of it and focus on my workout routines. I have tried going at 5am, and it's still packed. First, I'll say that every single machine in this gym is occupied. The weights are always all over the place or missing. Machines broken for 2½ weeks, and people hogging the machines. Today I timed someone on a cable machine; they spent 47+ minutes on it. That's absolutely ridiculous and very rude. There's also a lot of people who just sit there and text. There's no consideration or respect for others here, and not everyone has all the time in the world to wait around. If you're looking for a good gym, this location isn't it, but best of luck if you go!!!

I have been at this gym for a year (as a guest) and I can say it’s great to come here to work out. Your time of coming here all depends and can vary so don’t assume it will always be packed! The women gym locker room is very cleaning. I have been taking personal training classes with an amazing trainer. My trainer has motivated me to learn how to weight train, and motivated me to a healthier lifestyle. I’m eternally grateful that she is my trainer because I have learned to use weights. Now I can use weights as an alternative when a machine is busy. I am glad my trainer has taken the time to work with me. I have never felt the need to cancel my class. She has been very professional, attentive to me when in working in with gym routine. At every session I feel safe, supported and motivated to learn about weight training. These last two months I didn’t get hurt or felt I needed to take a break from weights. I am seeing the results and can fit into my pre mommy clothes. Thank you Blink fitness Corona and keep it up!

This has become the worst blink! It sucks bc I live a few blocks aways so its the most convenient but it's not worth it! People don't know how to work out! They think they r at their home, no gym etiquette, hog all the machines (literally over 30mins on one machine), shoes off, mess everywhere in the 2nd floor, they don't re-rack, the employees don't enforce to re-rack, employees r just chitchating, etc....I would only go there for cardio machine if needed!

Great location and smells good. But as the months pass this places rerack culture is becoming a big problem. You arrive at the gym and it looks like there are no more weights for you to use at their racks. But of course all you have to do it look around the whole place. People have gotten too lazy to rerack their weights and I assume the workers don’t do it either. This is getting pretty frustrating. Workers should either enforce it a little more or do it themselves.

I really try my hardest not to post negative or disappointing reviews because I always prefer to see the positives over negatives of things but I still have to be honest and forthright in each review I put down and I can't pull any punches on this one. This location has earned the dubious title of my least favorite Blink fitness spot. Before I put it into detail, I'll note a few positives of this place. It's a two floor spot with a lot of space and variation of machines and is pretty close to a bevy of restaurants in the area. However, despite all of the space in the location, it's already deemed irrelevant when the whole gym is packed from top to bottom. I've been to crowded gyms before and they weren't too bad but I'm not a fan of the atmosphere here at all. The place gets crowded as early as 10:30 AM, ON WEEKDAYS! Imagine how hellish it could be on the weekends and peak afternoon hours. Most of the people here speak Spanish and my Spanish is mediocre at best, which makes me feel like a foreigner in this place and some of the people here in the gym occupy certain machines and do supersets on them with the length of a short movie. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but I do recall one guy being on the chest press machine for almost 20 minutes and I found that absurd. The atmosphere here is very off putting and I'm a guy that is easily influenced by the vibes of certain places, which is why I value service over presentation when I review restaurants, and I'd rather work out in a barebones gym yet have fun with a small group of people than be in a state of the art gym and feel alienated. My trip here was not pleasant, there were machines I couldn't get to use today because they are always occupied. This is in no way a fault of Blink in any way because they can't do crowd control but I in good conscience can't recommend this gym to anyone considering the very short time frame you have to get a decent workout going before hordes of people pack the place. Fortunately I am a Green Card Member of Blink so I can go to any location in the city and there are several other better places than this location.
