Blink Fitness (PureGym) - Queens (NY)

1 /5 Angel Torres: This has to be the worst Blink in NYC. Parts of the floor are ripped up, machines are worn down, its layout is terrible and it is CONSTANTLY crowded. No water anywhere on second floor and scarce cleaning stations. Blink also updated its policy in July 2025 to not allow guests for any membership tier, which makes no sense. They need a reality check. This is a BUDGET gym on the same level as Planet Fitness, not its parent company Equinox. Speaking of Planet Fitness, the PF 5 minutes away (FIVE MINUTES WALKING) is beautiful. State of the art machines, machines Ive never seen before, 5+ squat racks, dedicated dead lifting racks, and a massive amount of space. Despite Planet Fitnesses bad reputation, you are better off going there than here.

2 /5 Jen G: The gym has potential It has a convenient location mostly if you have children at school, but there are a few areas that could really use improvement. While there are personal trainers available and a few people at the front desk, there doesn’t seem to be any staff actively supervising the gym floor. A manager presence would definitely help with organization and accountability. One ongoing issue is that the multi-jungle gym machine is often reserved for extended periods—sometimes over two hours—for content creation, with people using their phones and equipment, which limits access for other members. Additionally, weights are frequently left out of place, making it difficult to find complete dumbbell sets. Another concern is the misuse of machines—some people reserve equipment with clothing or remain on their phones for long periods, which can be frustrating for those waiting their turn. These situations could likely be improved with more active oversight from management, as they seem to be happening more frequently over time, and honestly I wanted to be committed with me but the gym doesn’t help with the idea pf doing exercises, It’s like throwing my time, money and goals, it’s really frustrating (I cut the head of the person but It’s always like this), also they should give advise or short words to the people who doesn’t have a clue what they are doing, They just will get injured… If is possible and the gym can provide this service.

4 /5 Tatjana Sofkoska: Been using this gym location for almost two years mostly because of the location. Since there are no other nearby affordable gyms, this location tends to be very crowded. The machines are worn out and in need of repair. For this i would give this gym 1 star. Recently it was announced that new machines will be installed, until then, the maintenance of the exiting will probably not happen. The layout of this gym is not matching the demand and use of the machines. About 50% of the footprint is occupied by cardio equipment that is never used to its full capacity. If the management is smart, they can remove the cardio on the ground level and expand the strength training which is crowded to the brink, with no space to stand at the peak time. Weights are also not available and waiting time to get on a machine is also long. It is true that people are idling on the machines and watching videos on their phones. There is not much that can be done about that, since this is a budget gym all types of people visit. The cleanliness of the gym is ok, would say 4 stars, the staff is constantly cleaning and people are also wiping the equipment after use. Sometimes there is a shortage of wipes. The staff is very friendly and courteous. Overall rating 5 stars. The trainers also help pointing out best form for exercise and will give advice when asked.

3 /5 M A Assad: The gym is located in convenient locations. Most of the machines are out of order. They don’t have any drinking water spot upstairs, It doesn’t make any sense to go all the way down to get the water in between your workout session. Very less amount of equipments. I have never seen such things in any gym.. The equipment quality is very poor. Most of them are ripped off the markings or not in good condition. Major things is parking not available all the time and the gym doesn’t have own parking space. The best of the gym is well spacious and comfortable

4 /5 Salvatore Salmeri: Ive been a Blink member for years. Then they went to pure gym. Im a senior and my fees are paid by my insurance until lately. I canceled my my membership for noon use. If I remember right early August and that month was paid for already. I got charged Sept 1st again. Emailed Pure gym about it at least 3-4 times then told the front desk and they said they would email them about the problem. I got charged $72 oct 1st. Then I contacted my credit card and stopped all payments. I really dont care what you call yourself Pure gym or blink your handling or not handling of this matter was not satisfactory. If you change names or whatever thats your problem not mine. NOT HAPPY
