I go early mornings or late at night. There are two parts to the gym. You can power lift in one and do regular workouts in the other. All amenities are available and no waiting. That's the best part. I can get in and out.

I joined this gym in November of 2021, I originally joined because after speaking to one of the…read moreowners JC, he ensured me the gym was a dog friendly atmosphere. I have stayed all this time because it became more than a space to train and hang with my dog, this gym connects you to an amazing community filled with so many great athletes. Powerlifters, weight loss coaches, booty building coaches or just generic training athletes. This gym has so much to offer, there are tons of squat racks in the powerlifting room and an incredible amount of machines in the body building room you will not find in commercial gyms. There are foam rollers left and right and I've never had an issue with anything with this gym. One of the owners Gus is pretty amazing at fixing things so you will never really see a machine out of order for any longer than a few short days. There's a vending machine in both rooms, one is for drinks like Gatorade's, pre workout cans and water. The other is filled with protein snacks, bio freeze patches and mini deodorants! These change periodically, there is an outside vendor that comes in to restock and change what these vending machines offer. So much variety! We love. If you are in the area it is worth a day pass for sure, these are purchased ahead of time as someone from staff will need to coordinate to let you in as this gym gives all members a personal key fob to enter. Love the 24/7 access!

this gym isn't that bad. I only chose this place because I hate packed gyms. I had a 24 pass before…read moreand it's ALWAYS packed. I'd rather not wait in line to use a machine. It's very small but has enough equipment that people aren't just sitting and waiting for people to be done. They have different promotions every month for each tier of their membership but I just did the lowest one cus it's $17 and I live very close by. I haven't used the gym to its full potential cus I'll only do stair master or a machine or two. I just cancelled my membership today bc I haven't been going and I rollerblade so that has been my work out. They charged me $17 to cancel my membership It was a good run, maybe I'll rejoin later. Also the ownership changed and the app doesn't work anymore which is kind of wack.

**Extremely deceptive billing and cancellation practices -- stay away from Blink Gardena**…read more I strongly recommend staying away from Blink Gardena. My experience with their cancellation process and billing has been absolutely unacceptable. Here is exactly what happened: **February 27:** After I moved away, I called Blink Gardena and asked to cancel my membership. They refused to cancel it and told me that I was required to continue paying until I had completed the full one-year commitment. I was unhappy with that, but I accepted it and continued paying as they required. **August 3:** After fulfilling that obligation, I called Blink Gardena again and clearly asked them to cancel my membership. A male employee at the front desk told me, **"Okay."** I had every reason to believe my membership had been canceled. **August 4:** I checked my account and discovered that immediately after my cancellation call on August 3, Blink had charged me **another annual fee for a second year.** So I called them again and asked a very simple question: **I called yesterday and you told me my membership was canceled. Why did you charge me another annual fee immediately afterward?** What happened next was unbelievable. The **same male employee who had told me "Okay" the day before** then demanded that **I provide proof that I had asked to cancel my membership.** Seriously? I was speaking to the same person who had personally taken my cancellation request less than 24 hours earlier, and now he wanted *me* to prove that the conversation had happened. How is a customer supposed to provide "proof" of a verbal cancellation request made by phone to your own employee? More importantly, why should the burden be on the customer when Blink should have its own account records, employee notes, call records, and billing history? The sequence of events is very simple: I asked to cancel after moving on February 27. They refused and required me to keep paying for the full year. I complied. On August 3, I called again and was explicitly told "Okay" when I asked to cancel. Immediately afterward, they charged me another annual fee. When I discovered it the next day and complained, the very employee who had accepted my cancellation demanded that I prove I had canceled. This goes far beyond poor customer service. In my experience, these billing and cancellation practices are **extremely deceptive and predatory**. Making it difficult for customers to leave is bad enough; charging another annual fee immediately after a cancellation request and then pretending the customer must prove that the cancellation request happened is outrageous. If you are considering joining Blink Gardena, **document EVERYTHING.** Do not rely on a phone conversation. Get cancellation confirmation in writing, save every email and screenshot, record the date and time of every call, and closely monitor your credit card or bank account afterward. I would absolutely never recommend this gym.

Need more squat racks. Weight section is usually really busy in the morning, so be prepared to wait…read moreif you come around 0600-0800. The good thing is that people are relatively quick and don't just hang out on their phone, but would be nice if they could invest in at least one more rack due to the increase in members. Been coming here since my gym is still closed, but definitely don't see myself sticking around once other gyms open back up cause they just don't have enough weight stuff. However, with that said, the workers here are friendly, gym is clean, and they have a lot of cardio equipment. So, if you're more of a cardio person and don't care bout weights that much then this gym will definitely have enough for you.

The equipment is well kept. The employees are great. The hours are good. I wish it was open later,…read more but in that neighborhood, 11 pm is fine for Monday through Thursday. The massage machine is awesome. The problem is the members. They NEVER put the weights back. They play on their phone when they are working on the machines, hogging them up. Go there at between 6 pm and 8:30 pm. You will have to hunt for the dumbells or weights you want. Go into stretching area, and there are discarded weights and mats all over. I find it inconsiderate and flat out RUDE! The staff are instructed to do nothing about it. In their defense, who wants to pick up weights behind grown ass adults all shift. Maybe they could put up signs or something, but it's ridiculous. Go before or after prime time, or the time you had budgeted to work out will be spent looking for equipment. The bottom line is THE MEMBERS SUCK!

I read someone here say, he's in his office most of time. I say there is some truth to that but I am glad that he doesn't micromanages me! He is still watching through his computer what is happening on the floor. He saw me struggling finding a balance once and he came right out to correct my posture. He is watching at all times and I appreciate that. I also love the encouragement that the gives me. His statement, "you are not here to try, you are here to work" lives rent-free in my head. I push myself harder because I know he believes I can do it. The fee can be a little steep for others but you get what you pay for . I treat it as an investment I am making for myself. I now sleep better, have more energy and feels stronger physically. Lastly, there are quite a few people I've met who have been at this gym for over 3 years. What does that tell you? Hop on!

Shout out to my Personal Trainer VANESSA, you have truly helped me recover to a point where I no longer need medication. Thank you for your encouragement and knowledge, the knowledge you would share would help reassure everything we were doing.

I have been looking for a trainer to help with my back pain/injury recovery. I was diagnosed with thinning of the disc on my lumbar area, and suffering from chronic pain, I had to make a choice of getting physically strong to support my back. Shout out to Kat for helping me connect with Vanessa (personal trainer). I was popping 26 ibuprofen a month and now it's gone down to 4 a month, I am grateful for you both Vanessa and Kat. Ps. I feel safe and welcome every time by all babes. Strongly recommend giving them a chance if you're on the fence about it
