You can't train. I went to train today and swallowed all that construction dust. All the machines are covered in dust. In that environment, I think everyone's going to get sick.

The location was under construction when I went today. No sign on door mentioning this beforehand. The online site still says it is open, and no one picked up the phone on the number. Poor communication overall.
How long will this location be closed for? And where can current members go in the meantime?

I've been a Blink member for years. Then they went to pure gym. I'm 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 don't 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 that's your problem not mine. NOT HAPPY

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.
