Really good.. not to crowded when I go.. that is late and morning times
Old very old and outdated equipment, you get charged over $50 for maintenance fees! when your the one that cleans before and after yourself???? smh
I would choose 0 if that was an option. I somehow got banned alongside my friend for taking off our masks when the gym closed and as I was exiting the gym. One of their “Karen” employees with blond hair reported it and now I can’t even get back inside while my friend got back in the gym literally makes no sense.It’s convenient to me because it’s closer.
I have been going to this blink on and off for the past few years. I have family that has gone here as well. I think that they do a good job of trying to keep the gym clean as possible there is always someone that is going around in the time of Covid cleaning the machines and the floors. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful.Some staff are very rude.They’ve also gotten some new equipment recently so that was exciting. I enjoy going in the afternoon since it’s not that busy. In the evening after 5 o’clock till maybe 730 it seems to be extremely busy and I Don’t feel comfortable coming that time. Also you’re not gonna get any equipment so it doesn’t matter. The parking sometime is an issue when it’s really busy otherwise not really. I think it’s fairly good gym to come to given the price you’re paying as well
I like the location, i am comfortable with the location of the equipment and it is close to home
Blink fitness is a great gym to get a good work out. The staff is great, and they clean the gym throughly. They ensure safety protocols, more so than ever due to Covid 19. I attend the gym from 7-9 pm five days a week and every night Timothy and Dev sanitize the entire gym. Sanitizing the entire is hard work, but I NEVER see them complain. When I enter the gym they always greet me with a smile. I also carry a lot of stuff with me and sometimes I am the last person to leave. Timothy and Dev always let me check and make sure I have everything I need before they close up. In short if you are looking for a gym, that low in price and u need a work out go here . Cons: it can be crowded from 5-7 pm during the week. Typically the squats racks and bench are taken, but that is ever gym. I typically plan my squats or benching on days that are not crowded.. I hope this helps!
Its crowded but its fine,no towels, no pool,its just. Regular gym nothing special.
Not impressed. It was crowded even during non-peak hours. Most of the sanitation stations were empty and a ver vocal crowd.
I went at 5:30am and worked out for an hour.. Not crowded at all!
Well buddy u can improve by not taking random peoples advice over something that doesn’t Evan make senses, I was working out 5 days a week at this place until one of the people who worked there I THINK MOE was his name he called me and said that the people at that gym get scared of the way I workout I think it’s unfair and especially for someone like me that is putting in more effort than most people, the people who workout there feel some type of way, HEY A GYM IS A GYM PEOPLE STUFF GONNA HAPPEN IN THE GYM SO WHAT !!! I GO HARDER THAN U !!!!!!!!!
I love this gym, but there have been several times where one particular employee walks around the facility without a mask on. Not only does he not wear a mask, he converses with patrons (that I assume he knows personally) in close contact again without a mask. This makes my experience very uncomfortable and i’m sure others feel the same. Other employees see him do this and do not correct it. This is completely unacceptable and I’m sure a violation of company policy as there are several signs emphasizing the importance of properly wearing a mask. Hope this changes soon.
Needs a powerlifter section heavier weights, nice gym overall
Best part of this gym is there healthy mix of young and seniors.gym seem to be well equipped and as i hear some more are expected soon.i have seen broken equipment being fixed right away and some not fixed for more than 2 weeks.front desk is welcoming and pleasant. Mask policy is enforced via signs and frequent roundings but manyPeople dont seem to cover there nose (mostly young ones)and they are not corrected EVER almost 50% have there nose out, some staff also have there nose out and not covered(one particularly has his mask down like the other reviews says) RAULthe gym attendant does an EXCEPTIONAL job of keeping gym nice and clean and well organised and cleaning stations well stocked including reminding people to pull up there mask but when he is off it seems to be not kept up .big screen Tv have all different channels including Fox except CNN,unless gym is trying to push a specific political agenda.for most part its a nice gym and very offordable for what it has to offer.follow up review,i thank blink manager for prompt action on adding CNN. Again i dont care for a particular channel but if u have fox, u should also have CNN cus of current political situation or take both channels off all together. Mask policing has improved but still lot of members has there nose out..i guess its going to be ongoing issues..
First off....take notice of all the “canned responses” from the owner when people post negative reviews. That is a clue as to how compassionate they are to customer service and client satisfaction.I was ok with paying for the months I fell behind due to covid, but it’s the additional fees that seemed unfair to me...especially at a time when many people, including myself, have been out of work. With out any hesistation they just told me they would not be waiving any fees. I ended up paying a balance I couldn’t afford.Now.... be prepared for the canned response below about how “they try to be transparent about their policy and fees”
I have been a member since 2 years. Its a great place for workout!
Please dont join to this gym. They are requiring you to go to their gyms during this covid period even if you dont want to go because you dont want to meet other people. Then, they ask you to pay your money to cancel their membership.
Back on March when COVID first arrived Blink closed. I could not get in touch with them until a week ago when the collection calls started. I went today and were charged $145 dollars for cancellation and unpaid dues. I had to do it in person. I was told they reopened in September today is November 24 So, they charged me 2 months and the maintenance fee (year) what a rip-off . I was thinking of staying but with only 58 people allowed at a time and COVID out of control it is not worth it. They did not offer any incentive for me to reconsider but were quick to take my money. They use e-mail as a reason to justify the charges...but we sent e-mails to everybody...did you check your spam. No lady is called spam for a reason. If you wanted me back you could have called me back like your collection department did. I hope you go bankrupt .Rodrigo González
Long time member. Facility is clean, machines all working and plenty of staff to help you out
This place is a trap due to its cancellation policy. Don’t let the low price fool you. They get you in no problem, but then kill you on the way out.
A little hard to find but great atmosphere, great prices, great service. Just great all around
They enforce a strict cancellation policy despite the circumstances regarding Covid. I asked them if they could waive the “maintenance fee” and i’ll still pay the missed months.They refused and on top of that I have to provide 45 days notice so they get me for an extra month.Because of Covid my profession was unable to work for over 90 days, and even though i’m back, i’m only making 1/3 of my previous salary.They informed me that my information will still be on file should i return...but I won’t be returning.
Awesome staff and clean gym parking is also easy to find trainer are knowledge and friendly
After the pandemic when the gyms get open this gym has no music at all so bad I wonder why
I loved Blink fitness but had to cancel my membership when I moved. Friendly helpful (but never pushy) staff. Clean environment. Its more than you could ask for in a gym for that price point.
Would be 5 stars but theres only 2 benches and theyre usually taken. Ive had to use a squat rack to bench which I feel bad needing to do.
I started going to Blink Fitness in Paramus in May of this year, and I am really enjoying the experience! My personal trainer Erica is very knowledgeable and professional. I can already see the changes with my body which makes me so happy! I highly recommend Erica, the best trainer! She is a fitness expert!
Decent gym for the price. Doesnt have all the amenities that larger gyms have, but they do have multiple squat racks, and one really nice eleiko Olympic bar. Although many people dont notice it and it ends up on the bench. They have bumper plates too, a small cross functional fitness area, and plenty of treadmills.
Very clean, the trainers are very friendly. The managers are a little edgy. Locker rooms offer showers and restrooms, NO sauna. The free mat area is a little small. Wipes are placed all throughout the gym so you can clean the equipment when youre done. Bathrooms, locker room, etc are very clean. Hours are 5a-11p.
I went with hubby on a Friday evening around 6- surprisingly it wasnt crowded. The layout of the gym allows guest to move around freely and use all machines in a timely manner. There is also a few areas where you can workout individually if you do not desire to use there machines and prefer to use free weights.
I loved the gym, it was never too busy and you never had to wait to long to use a machine, the staff were friendly and facilities were always clean I look forward to going back when the gyms reopen in NJ, just waiting for them to end lockdowns so I can get my workout going again daily
This place is fantastic! The staff are super friendly and the place is always very clean. Love going here!
Masks are forced here dont go here.
Good gym. It has all the basic equipment that you need to workouts. It is a smaller gym compared to others Ive seen and there are a lot of people that go in the evening so its loud often. The people are nice and I see a lot of regulars there.
Great
You could not go to a gym for over 2 years and they will still continue to steal money from youthey are frauds and are requiring you to go to their gyms during covid and pay a FEE to cancel their membershipliterally they steal money from you
This gym is awesome and very clean!!! Raul does an excellent job on keeping this place immaculate clean.
Clean, organized ...very nice!
Couple of months ago I informed one of their front desk staff that I will be moving overseas and need to cancel my membership by August 1, and was told he will take care of it and that I will not be charged even for 45 days before. Few weeks after I notified their male manager and was told he will put a note and take care of it. I see on my bank statement that I was still charged for July month, and also wants me to pay for remaining days of the month cancellation fee. He told me that he was not aware of the cancellation (seriously???!!) and that I must have it written on a piece of paper which I was NOT told at all by both staff members. Absolutely ridiculous and scam!!
Great no frills gym. Clean & well maintained.Only complaint is mens locker room. The lockers are all squeezed together in the corner. Making it nearly impossible to access your locker and get dressed if there are more than 4 people there. Whomever designed this floor plan should seek a new career.
I came back because they Improved customer service and their equipment. also super enthusiastic staff, well ran Gym by the Manager
The Blink fitness is the third class cancellation policy ever. If some one is joining for a month how they can notify for cancellation before 45 days. There should not be any terms and condition like this. most of the people in this review are talking about third class cancellation policy only. Management also not responding on this. If I want to cancel at end of the month I shouldnt be paying for another 45 days. This type of policy is just to take money from the people unnecessary. I wont give a single star or rating to this management
Super sick guys... Used to work at this mall center, so I signed up due to being convenient for working out once my shifts would end. Went to the gym for almost two years. It was finally time to cancel due to not being able to go 4-5 days a week, and I canceled my membership about two months ago (Nov 2018). I was told that you do not have to pay any cancellation fee once you complete one year at being a gym member. Yet, I was told in order to cancel I had to pay $24.77. I asked for a receipt just in case this gym would try to pull a fast one on me. Fast forward two months later, and they charge me for a monthly membership fee.. Even though I had not stepped foot at this location since November. Welp, time to go to this location yet again.Good luck to anyone wanting to cancel!
Staff are super friendly. A lot of cute women and the equipment is clean and organized. What more to ask for?
Perfect size gym for what I need to get done. Flexible enough hours, clean facilities, affordable price. A little crowded in the evenings and sometimes you have to wait for the free weight benches. Staff usually greets you and gets you checked in quickly so you can go about your business.
When i cancelled my membership I was met with very rude front desk workers that talked to me with attitude. Honestly I was starting to feel threatened towards the end. There are also limited benches and equipment as well. Would not recommend this gym.They also charged me over 150 dollars for my cancellation fee, they spouted some BS about an end of the year maintenance fee as well which is stupid cause it still about 5 months till the end of the year. When I started asking what the cancellation fee entailed I felt like I was being threatened in response to that simple question.I just saw another review here which says you dont have to pay a cancellation fee if you have been to the gym for over a year. In my case I was a member of that gym for 2 years and they still made me pay over 150 dollars cancellation fee. I wish I could give this gym negative stars at this point.I go to crunch fitness now, 10 dollars a month and more benches and weightlifting bars than blink. I hope Im not bombarded with hidden fees if I ever cancel from them though...
1 star for the simple fact they continuously charge your bank account even after youve cancelled your membership. Horrible business. Gym else where to avoid this hassle
The gym is clean and affordable. There is no need to bash the size of the gym in the review since it is what it is. There are a variety of machines and tons of cardio machines. The manager is the most friendly person and greets his guests with a smile and a good bye. The staff and personal trainers are respectful and greet guests with a smile also. Very often the janitor can be seen cleaning and wiping down machines. I wish this gym all the best and will certainly recommend it to anyone.
Dishonest
It is financial trap. Do not buy membership. It is cheapest but if you decide to leave you will have hard time and should go to certain steps to stop membership. They even report you to credit bureau for not paying monthly fee as if it was credit card. If i am not paying just stop my membership why are you reporting to credit bureau.
Blink in general gets a 5, and this branch almost gets one. Great staff and great environment just weighed door by a small location, inadequate parking (and constant construction) and way too many machines on the blink. Blink is still the best gym for the money, and I still like this branch, but not yet perfect.
Never go to blink. They are thieves. Be careful if you brake the contract you will pay $60 plus taxes. It’s sucks. Never go to blink.
Its a budget gym, and both the prices and equipment reflect that. However, Ive noticed that theyve really been stepping it up in the last year and improving service and equipment.
As a member for more than six years, I workout at my local Blink in Paramus, NJ, 3-4 times weekly. At the conclusion of my 45 minute workout this morning (May 22, 11:35 AM to 12:20 PM), I was astounded to find the lock on my locker had been cut and all the contents, including valuables, removed. I was told this was done because of ongoing construction. The fact that the staff gave NO WARNING regarding the use of lockers - no announcement was made, no notice posted or given - and cut my lock without affording me ANY opportunity to unlock and remove the contents myself, demonstrates a stunning lack of care and cocern for the client. Again, I was there for only 45 minutes. Very disappointed.
Bad news folks
Great gym -lots of high quality equipment. Always clean and well maintained. Really nice staff.
When I started, I was very happy. It was cheap to sign up, and I liked the way the PT sessions worked. You bought sessions individually and you didnt have to buy more until you used up your sessions. Then they changed it in order to make more money, so now you have to pay per month, and if you gotta cancel or cant make all the appointments you made, you lose that money.What really made me angry was, I never signed up for the new plan, I never signed their new contract. I had to stop going recently after being rear-ended and got whiplash, so I didnt even think now I need to stop going as frequently so let me cancel the PT sessions because I never signed up for the new ones, but lo and behold, not only did they charge me for another month, they charged a different card than what I had originally given them. I called them on the phone and all they did was read off a scriptSir you signed the contract, there is no refundbut I never signed the contractsir Im gonna need you to calm downWent in gym to dispute it with them, they lied to my face and said Sir we dont have the contract you signed, but you do in your email. After I explained that not a single business wouldnt keep a copy of all signed contracts associated with their business, they finally called the manager, who refused to give me her name, number, or guarantee that I would get my money back. She did, however, threaten to call security.Finally after talking to my bank about their unauthorized charges, I came in one last time to cancel my membership with them. The same people who lied to my face also filed out the membership cancellation form for me, then had the audacity to ask me why I was leaving.While the gym is nice and big, I cant recommend any company that illegally takes money from you and constantly tries to make sure I dont get that money back.P.S. you have to pay a fee to cancel. Unless youve been there for a whole year, which I doubt you will, because neither the staff nor PT I originally signed up with no longer work there after 6 months. Always stay away from business with high turnover rates.Update: This business tried to charge me AGAIN a month after I cancelled, so I reported them to the Better Business Bureau and they solved everything within a week.
Good gym for what you pay for, however tread lightly when signing up for their no commitment plan. Somehow I still ended up having to pay for 2 more months of gym membership after cancelling.
Really enjoy working out here. There are a lot of different kinds of people so I never feel intimidated. The only downside is its small and they dont offer much besides the machines.
I have been going here since high school when it first opened and as a college graduate a year out I still love it. It suits my purpose and now I have had a trainer for a year from here. Ive always had great customer service, have rarely had to wait for equipment, the place is always clean and its at an amazing deal and close to my home. I wish they had a pool, but for 16$ a month I cant be mad! Definitely recommend for college kids looking for a cheap gym in between school breaks. Recommend for anyone looking to do general work outs and not feel judged. I wouldnt recommend for anyone looking for a buff body building gym experience as this is more casual and has an accepting vibe. Love it!
No frills but clean and friendly gym. Good selection of basic equipment and free weights and racks.
Ive been a member for a few years, and I love this gym. Its extremely clean (though some inconsiderate members dont clean their stations when theyre done), theres a lot of equipment, and the staff is helpful and friendly. My only gripe is parking is a NIGHTMARE since its attached to a mall. Thank goodness the mall is closed on Sundays, parking is easy.
Ive had a membership at this place for a couple years. Its a decent place, but for its size it can be impossible to utilize certain equipment during peak hours. I ended up going to extremes and either working out at 5am, or going as late as 10pm. The whole everyone cleans their equipment policy is BS. I got warts from the dumbells once, so clean your stuff before and after use (reason #103 why Im a germaphobe now). The staff are friendly and the trainers are great, but I get the vibe that management can be rough around the edges. I saw some low morale and poor demanors from some regularly great employees at times. Staff deserves more recognition and compensation. However, you pay cheap so you get cheap. Cancelled my membership to sign up for a bigger facility with a full-time maintenance/cleaning staff.
Good gym, surprise charges....
Very clean gym. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of ellipticals and treadmills, though Id prefer more variety. But for the extremely affordable membership fees, this place is pretty great.
Great gym! I have been going to this gym for about 2 years and I love it. It is not intimidating and is very bright and clean.
Cancelled my subscription via mail almost over two years ago and a few days ago I received a letter from a collection agency on behalf of Blink claiming my subscription to the gym was never cancelled and that I owe them money for a membership I didnt even use! Because I cannot find a receipt for a certified letter over two years old Im being strong armed into paying this bill. The cancellation policy and system for this gym is outrageous and the fact they seem to have forgotten/lost my cancellation and are strong arming me into paying is ridiculous. Go to another gym with better policies in place.
I can relate to being met with rude service when coming in to cancel. When I signed up, I was not told that there was a cancellation fee. I was also not told that I would continually be charged after my one year contract. With my hectic work schedule, I had to cancel. I was met with incredible rudeness and with a company who knows they are not upfront. The front desk woman, Magdalena, even stated that I was most likely not told that there was a cancellation fee. When I told her I was not. She met my confusion with disdain, and told me that I could either cancel with the fee or continue to be charged every month. If it wasnt the end of a long day for me, and the end of another month, I would have fought this. Unfortunately, I had to pay to cancel something I wasnt even using. I was not even under contract. Now I remember why I hate gyms. Theyre all so slimy.
Can bring a guest with you every time you go if you are a member. Prices arent terrible. Wish they had a sauna/steam room though.....
Totally disappointed about this gym mostly all the equipment weight isn’t organized. I prefer still going to the Passaic location.
A nice, clean and small gym. Cheap $15 monthly membership. Close to shopping centers. Its a great gym for people who dont need the extras like classes or swimming pool. However, since its a small gym they dont have enough squat racks and benches and when its crowed you have to wait for a while. Thats why I switched to Hackensack UMC, which is 5 times more expensive than Blink but I never had to wait for a squat rack so my workouts has been great.
I came here with my friend who has a membership after school & the time we went at night was never packed. Never had to wait for anything only con is the gym isnt that big. Has everything you need though.
Ive never visited a gym. This site is not accurate nor trustful
Great friendly place with excellent trainers I train with Quintin. Hes my Pyhsical therapist. Im in rehabilitation spinal surgery. Hes excellent well informed in PT and nutrition. I trust that hell get me back in Pyhsical shape!!Thank you Q!
Clean!!!! The staff is very helpful in providing some tips. Easy sign up. Staight to the point. Affordable.
Great deals, very good gym for the prices. Friendly and great place to work out .
Has everything you need for general workouts and its clean. The lowest membership is a good deal, but they also have personal trainers and customizable membership options which is good.
Nice
Ive been coming here for about two years now. I have the membership where I can go to any location and while the Paramus location is not my favorite, its the most convenient for me on most days.Pros:- Very clean- Friendly/helpful staff- Lots of cardio machines which are always available, even during peak times- Good variety of weightlifting equipment- CheapCons:- HOT! I can feel that its much hotter in this location than in the Parsippany and Clifton locations.- Crazy packed during peak hours, Ive had to change my workouts due to certain machines not being available for hours at a time- Parking is a pain, especially on the weekends, due to its location in the mall- Pretty smallOverall, its definitely good for the price, especially in the Paramus area. But if it wasnt for the convenience I probably wouldnt go here. Also, keep in mind that the reason that its less expensive is because there are no classes offered like in most other gyms.
Remodeling is going on so hopefully when that gets done itll look better and not have all the buckets around the place collecting water
This is an absolutely terrible business. I was in a serious accident that required multiple surgeries and I was on bed rest for almost 6 months and there was nothing they could do because I was in a contract. However my contract was only for a year and they continued to charge my card. They were extremely rude and not willing to work with me at all. They made me feel like a piece of garbage. Their employees have no respect for their customers or their well being.
When I first joined I joined at the Lodi location. I was very excited. When I walked in to this one to check out how this place looked the staff gave me a weird look and just got an off vibe from them, it was the highschool clique kind of vibe. (this place was closer to my job so i thought it was more convenient) But after that sullied my view on that location I never stopped in UNTIL I had to cancel my membership.The lady at the front desk was very terse and was always on her phone. Seemed fresh out of high school or just lacked people skills. She had me cancel but she did it incorrectly and caused blink to pull out the maintenance fee even when it says on my paperwork that it wasnt going to.
Membership fees as compared to planet fitness is high, but if you are interested in using treadmill and weights only then it is good. It is very cheap for the price you pay for renting equipments in working condition. Cancellation process is not like NYSC or LA Fitness.They will not ask thousand questions when you want to cancel the membership unlike NYSC and LA Fitness.
Surprisingly good variety of food and quality.
Dont know how you cant like this facility. Its always clean, staff is always at the desk and theres more than enough space and equipment to get a great workout in.....And through small observation seem like a few trainers know their stuff!
Great and clean, but needs another squat rack or two.Edit: They actually fixed this and got another one.
Nice equipment but needs alittle more cleaning
Only gym in this area with reasonable fees!
Awesome gym its great for teens because its not that expensive and theres so much equipment to use you can never be bored
Best Blink location in New Jersey.
Good place to workout, very spacious and new machines
Horrible experience, DONT JOIN THEY HAVE HIDDEN FEES WHEN YOU TRY TO END YOUR MEMBERSHIP. NO CUSTOMER APPRECIATION ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS SCAMMING YOU FOR YOUR MONEY. DONT FALL FOR THE 5 DOLLAR MONTH DEAL. ITS NOT A DEAL AT ALL ITS A SCAM, THEY MAKE YOU PAY 45 BUCKS FOR MAINTENANCE AND 23 BUCKS FOR A FINAL PAYMENT FOR NO REASON. WASTED HARD EARNED MONEY ON A SCAM LIKE THIS. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT I JOINED THIS GYM LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, GOING BACK TO CRUNCH.
Great gym, staff is constantly cleaning machines. The gym does get extremely busy after 5pm but otherwise it is not too crowded.
Great not to crowded gym. Nice staff.
Good place to work out but hard to make a cancellation. :(
Great staff and member base, good cardio equipment selection, but the weight machines are not of the same quality of every other Blink location Ive been to (Union, Lodi, Clifton, Chelsea, Boerum, and Sheepshead Bay).
Screw these hoes, freaking boys out here trying to steal a huna with a boy with dollar. Yeah im talking about that chocolate big boy manager, boy looks like an oversize Hershey kiss, this fool needs a cheese burger or something. Boys stole like 60 bucks right out of my pocket. These fool think im some harambe rich boy. Mannnnn, i cant even afford xbox live... these boys are a bunch of scums. Hey man i left my mark on the bench in the corner if yall know what im talking about. All those weights got made grease on them after my sweaty hands touched them. And watch out for the boy with the hazel eyes, hes MR Steal YO Girl, checking out yo girl and a stealing your bih. Can a boy like me save some money out here. Im on a budget with my camry. If yall need some camry tech support hmu. Watch oout for the naked dude in the showers man, he about to pull up with the hammer and slap you with it. Aight lil youngins this my review, yall thugs hit up blink if you want but if you boys trynna pay 3 hunna might as well go here.
Beautiful place and very clean!
Never too crowded, friendly staff and in a great convenient location. Burn calories and shop right after or before.
