Blink Fitness Woodside

Smaller than you’d expect but serves its purpose. It’s clean and the staff/members are respectful. The space on the first floor could be managed better, often too much is going on in one spot.

Just another bunch of scammers and gimmicks. They have charged my card without my authorization three months in the raw. They run thru 3rd party payment companies, and they all claim they have nothing to do with charging your card. Organized chaos. I actually never step foot in their gym because I have a spinal injury, but it can't be that good if this is how they run their bussines. Horrible people to deal with.... just horrible .

I just moved to the area and this gym was closest to me, I went for about a month and half before switching over to Planet Fitness. This location is ALWAYS crowded, no matter what time of day or night it is, forget about using any of free weights or the one (!!) smith machine. I only ever went during off peak hours (mornings before 12) and it was still an unpleasant experience. I would just avoid the hassle (and cancellation fees) and just go to a different gym where there’s actually room to breathe.

I like the staff so much — front desk is great! But management is not taking care of the facilities. It can take a few days when the shabby equipment breaks down and missing padding may never get replaced. I suppose we can count this as a plus as other discount gyms may NEVER fix equipment. There are many singleton machines so you might find yourself waiting a long time to do sets for legs, in particular. And arms. And chest. Oh wait… Additionally people in this gym are big time sitters. They do a set with a zillion reps then sit there and get lost in TikTok for another 20 minutes. And women will find getting a shot at using free weights nearly impossible. The one exception is the cardio machines. Those are pretty plentiful. The stretching area is super small. No studio space for yoga or classes. Guess we get what we (don’t) pay for as the gym is reasonably priced for NYC.

Staff here is great - generally very nice and the only good thing about it. Location is due for a renovation, it's too small and overcrowded. Management appears to be garbage, and Blink business practices are garbage. Had to pay a fee to cancel my membership, but I'm just glad I'm done with this place.
