Blink Fitness 54th

It's okay. Just a gym.
Have only one leg press. Need more like this. Takes a while to use this machine and there are always people waiting. Each person can take at least 30 minutes so that means only 30 or so people can use it each day.
The scale is ALWAYS OFF. Seems no one knows how simple it is to zero the scale (little screw on the left side of the weight bar is zeroed when it balances in the middle).

This is my regular gym, love it but it’s always packed after 4pm (this is normal I’m not complaining lol) someone did steal my AirPod case tho so they do have thieves but whatever

I was initially gonna give this spot a 3 star because it is a condensed area even with 2 floors but what earned the extra star is the friendliness of the staff, by far the kindest I've seen so far and most of the patrons were middle aged people getting a short work in whether it be on work break or just getting out of their homes.

Translation, I didn't have to wait eons for a machine to be freed up because some kid was doing supersets or just idling away time on the phone in-between reps. Maybe it's because I came on a Monday, who knows. I'd chalk it up to coming here at the right place at the right time because I'm pretty sure this place gets loaded during peak hours. A few Smith machines were broken but I wasn't planning on using them today anyway so I won't factor that in my review. All in all, decent location.

I used to feel ok about Blink. I actually liked the minimalist aspect of what they offer. It was clean and the equipment was passable. But lately, I feel disappointed . I’ve been a member for a while. Got an email a while back saying they were going to upgrade equipment…so far, nothing except new mats. Maybe that’s what they meant by “equipment” ? The rest of the equipment I use there is rusty, creaky squeaky. They also took their large heavyweight punching bag away and have not replaced it. That bag got lots of use. And sadly, lately, the gym seems dirtier. There are hairballs seemingly reproducing like rabbits. around the stretching area. It’s never going to be the ritz and that’s ok. But…this location is not going in a good direction.

This is the worst location I’ve ever been to jampacked with inconsiderate people Just trying to use the App machine and a woman is standing in front of it fully dressed with her coat on saying she is waiting for her friend and she is using it when she is clearly not dislocation sucks to packed full of inconsiderate people save your time and do not come here after work you will not be able to use any of the equipment and it is a waste of time👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 it is so ridiculous when you pay your hard on money for a gym membership and you can’t even use the gym. Thank God I have the green membership that I can go to another gym. I will never come back to this terrible gym again way way way way way too crowded.

This is a clean, well run location. Lots of equipment and all in good condition. The showers and changing rooms are clean.

The staff is very helpful.

I paid for a trainer for two months, and Mookie did a first rate job getting me started and trained on a new workout and all the equipment.

You do need to pick your time-of-day. It gets busy in the late afternoons. Luckily, I am time flexible and I can visit when it is not as busy.

Very good gym, clean, machines in good shape. Heavy bag available, TRX, showers and locker room, towel service available to for a fee, personal trainers available for a fee. No classes available but that's fine with me. Low monthly price, and I get a discount through my employer so it's good for what it is, a place to work out and lift weights.

Update: they have all new treadmills now. Much better than the previous ones. They did some rearranging and there is more room now it feels like.
