    Hi, I’m really frustrated with how the Blink → PureGym transition was handled at Gates Ave. My membership was cut mid-month, my info deleted, and I was told to start over with a new plan. The gym was chaotic, multiple members were complaining, and staff were left handling something way above their pay grade. It’s not fair to charge me a joining fee after this disruption. I’ll pay monthly, but I expect the joining fee waived and to be put on the $22 plan. Please fix this asap.

    They haven’t been able to set up a proper Wi-Fi for several months. It takes forever to connect, and I can’t listen to music or watch anything while working out. That’s the first problem. The second problem is that people can form groups of 4–5 and take turns using the equipment, preventing others from using it. The staff does nothing about it. They changed the gym’s name, but the problems inside the gym remain unresolved

    It’s a small gym, which is currently transitioning to a bigger gym. It can get really crowded. Go very early to avoid it. It has everything you need to get a good workout in.

    Im pretty pissed about how this new acquisition happened with Pure Gym. And please Blink, spare me the response because I see them all over these reviews and they are not helpful at all. I have been signed up for this gym for a while paying $26 a month to visit multiple locations in Brooklyn. Pure gym comes through and we have to get a new app. Ok cool no problem. But then I walk into the gym a couple weeks later and they said my membership has been canceled. And that I have to sign up again. I asked well, that’s not my fault what do I do? They said it’s because I didn’t have a Credit card on file. This info was nowhere and no one at the gym had said anything about making sure to do that so that our accounts would stay secure. Very sneaky of them because now I am forced to sign up for a new membership which is now $30 and that’s not including taxes and fees, a $20 sign up fee as well AND with that same membership I had before, I now can’t get guest access. I see you Blink. And what am I going to do? I’m going to sign back up because I have no choice and this is the world we live in. I just came on here to basically complain and yell at a wall because that’s what it feels like to work with Blinks customer service. So thanks a lot yall for giving me a headache and good for you for slightly scamming people. Congrats.
