PureGym - Formerly Blink Fitness — Attraction in New York

I came to this location while in the area. I have a Blink pass that allows me to use any gym and bring unlimited guests. I came here with my friend who is also a member of Blink but his account is not up to date. Therefore, for today, he was going to use my guest privileges. The manager, Casey Selby was at the front desk and refused to let us in. Her reason-“A memebsr cannot use guest privileges.” I asked her where in my contract does is state that. She said give her a minute and she went to the back. After about 15 minuets, she came back with my contract with a line high listed on page 3. The part highlighted which was rule #5 states, “RULES, REGULATIONS, AND SCHEDULES: Member agrees to abide by all the membership rules, regulations and schedules of the Club, which may be posted at the Club or used orally, and which may be amended from time to time at Blink’s sole discretion.” No where does this say or justify her claim that a member of Blink cannot be my guest. I have been a guest as a member and I have had members as my guest before. Casey Selby became loud and rude when I asked for corporates number. She offered me a number to billing. I have no billing issues and when I told her that she then offered an email to her boss. I asked her why would she offer me a number to billing. She then lied and she said she didn’t. She literally did 5 seconds before. I am now in the process of cancelling my membership with Blink. My friend is...

I had to go back and change my review. I use to love this gym but after making several complaints I’m considering going to another gym. There is a woman named shawnee selling homemade energy drinks in the locker room. Every time I speak to staff they say they will address the situation but it’s been three weeks and they haven’t done anything. She sits in the locker room for hours waiting for members to come in the locker room so she can hassle them into buying her goods. I’ve never seen her work out and I go 5 times a week so she doesn’t go to the gym to work out she goes to hustle. I feel like I’m being harassed by Jehovah’s Witness. No offense. Than what’s bad for them she’s selling mojitos as well. This gym is so unaware of the fact that without a liquor license, liquor cannot be sold on the premises. She’s so money hungry I try to avoid going in the locker room. She’s there mon, weds, fri, and sun between 11:30am to 3ish for anyone curious. I’m going to cancel my membership and go somewhere else because I find it creepy for someone to chill in the locker room for hours. I filed a complaint with corporate as well as staff several times. When I noticed they respond to google reviews I decided to share my experience here maybe they will do something. I’m all for someone hustling and getting to the bag but don’t bother me in the gym it’s the only me time I get to myself...

Edit: 10/31/22 - I visited on Thursday and there was no wipes. Same on Friday, same on Saturday. By this point they'd provided some torn up paper towels and spray bottles that only drip when the trigger is squeezed. Whoever is managing this place seems to be trying to run it into the ground. 2 pieces of gym equipment "on the blink" and no soap refills in the men's locker room. I was not going to add this revebt occurrence to my review, because it happens from time to time, but I've never seen it last for so long. People just swimming in 3-days-old a**-sweat as this point. On the Blink! ☺️

Original review: It's an OK gym. It's made worse by how busy it gets and some regulars who will hog equipment for close to an hour. I try to get there early to beat these people to some limited equipment, like the squat cages (there's only 2, and if one of these people get on one of them, that's like there's only 1). When I'm on that, it's to do 5 sets of an exercise and move on so someone else can use it. When these "regulars" are on there, they will spend your whole workout session doing various exercises, some that don't even utilize the equipment they're holding up. It's like they think it's personal equipment, or maybe there's a membership tier that allows members to do this without repercussion. Inconsiderate people make...
