I hope with the new gym transition not only the strength machine gets upgraded but also the cardio machine as well especially the treadmill.

HORRIBLE ! Lots of sexual harassment issues. The next day the perpetrators are able to come back and look you in the face with anger. I had a man get in my face and bully me trying to take my machine from me and when he attempted to take it my friend went to take it as well and they made this situation about my friend. No one ever called me. A man name Skylar Stuart said my number on file was incorrect so he couldn’t call me, he sent emails. I went to the hub and checked MY NUMBER WAS CORRECT. My friend is BLACK!!!!! They made this whole thing about the only black man in this situation. No one cares that I was being bullied by a man. Bigger and taller than me! I need answers! My friend is under investigation and can’t go to any blink gym. The gym is our only escape from this world and a false report made this a nightmare

I come to this gym because it is usually one of the less crowded gyms, but the etiquette of the people at this gym is terrible. People don’t re-rack their weights, and just leave their equipment around the gym, making it hard for someone else to find what they need. No one cleans the equipment when they’re done either.

Been to this gym for years left New York came back and the person at the desk with curly hair told me he couldn't manually put me in the system but another gentleman walked in and they put another member in right in front. Of me. That is crazy. I would have respected it if they told everyone the same thing but they didn't they literally let another person in right in front of me.
