Blink Watts

Positive experience: I switched over from 24 hr Fitness when I noticed the lack of maintenance at the hawthorn location. The staff is great, the equipment feels fresh and of pretty good quality. Being from Watts my whole life, I honestly expected other members and staff to be ghetto, not the case at all. Only complaints are that the parking lot is small, the cable machines could have more handles/rope’s readily available. I’m very satisfied with my switch from 24 to Blink.

Fantastic experience: Best gym EVER!!!!!!!! Best staff and super clean!

Negative experience: this place could be better.. the machines take forever to get fixed when they get broken. There are 6 stair masters here and 3 of them have been broken for months. There seems no urgency to fix things here. UPDATE 12/12/24: there are now 4 stair master machines down only 2 operating… this will be like this for months. FIX YOUR GOD DAMN MACHINES!

Negative experience: This Blink as a whole has fewer, poorer quality equipment compared to LA Fitness, 24hr Fitness, and Planet Fitness. This location in particular is small too and isn't worth its membership fees. I find the staff on site to be highly unprofessional inept and incompetent. Pick a different gym than this sad pathetic excuse of a gym

Fantastic experience: Hey, the address is wrong on Google maps (but they appear to be fixing it)

Positive experience: Nice place, but only 2 benchpresses and a lot of cardio machines which was never busy… guys please add few benchpress, it’s so annoying waiting in list 30min for Benchpress

Positive experience: Good gym but beware!! it’s always packed!!..I understand certain things as to why but it’s so bad to the point where I can’t get in a good workout. There’s been multiple occasions where I have left after only being in there for an hour because SOME gym members love to hog machines, take turns with a group and if there is just a moment where a machine is free it’ll get snatched up in a second! Now I’m not stopping anyone from doing there thing but it makes me contemplate my gym membership:( Only option you’ll have that will be available at all times are the treadmills and that’s because there are plenty.

Fantastic experience: Gym has everything you need.

Fantastic experience: So far its been good. Everything is new which is a plus . But peak hours is hard to find parking and some machines are full but overall i like it

Fantastic experience: Great customer service left AirPods at gyms employees had it in lost and found and recovered same day. Real ones fr

Fantastic experience: Bien....

Positive experience: Good gym with good space! What I don’t like about this location is that they play the music way too loud. I had to tell the manager to lower it! I was working out for an hour and a half and he never lowered the music. I was having a hard time hearing myself talk to other people in the gym..

Positive experience: Blink Fitness is a low luxury franchise owned and operated by Equinox. In fact, many of its former members have ditched the designer fitness institution for a more cost effective alternative, Blink. Think Coach leather goods vs. MCM vintage. Both are quality yet one has a reputation for being high brow with customizable bespoke opportunities. This Watts location has an attentive team, the latest equipment but for whatever reasons the brand DNA isn't consistent throughout its ecosystem. It's apparent the founder hasn't discovered a way to properly cultivate all of its employees. Nevertheless, just like many of its siblings, there's always a new sheriff.

Negative experience: Just now I seen a fight and lasted approximately a minute, one of the gym members wasn’t aware that the other person was fighting him. He got beat up and the employees did not bother to intervene and just stood by to watch. Out of the 4 employees present no one said nothing nor approached the guy who got attacked.

Fantastic experience: Es buen lugar para hacer ejercicio el personal es amable con todos los clientes

Negative experience: Bad service

Fantastic experience: They give good service, help on equipment and it's Super clean!!!@

Negative experience: It's febuary 5th Monday weekends don't count. and I came in to cancel my membership I was told that when I signed up that I can come in the first week of the month to cancel I was told that I needed to pay the month and pay the $2.90 for counseling said if I don't pay the month they will not cancel my membership and will keep charging me monthly I was forced to pay REALLY calling (BBB) better Business bureau and reporting this today. By the way I did speak to the manager

Negative experience: The staff is very unfriendly and unprofessional. When I cancelled my membership I asked the staff how much it would cost to cancel my membership and the only response was, “it depends” if you work there you must know the prices. Anyways don’t spend your money here go somewhere else.

Fantastic experience: Muy buena

Positive experience: Muy bien

Fantastic experience: Always clean and the customer service very nice!! I enjoy coming to this place

Negative experience: This gym does not protect women. They never followed up with my complaint which led to me cancelling my membership after years of being a member, since the first week they opened. It is extremely sad for me to see how much the culture has changed and having to leave when I honestly did not want to.

Fantastic experience: Nice place, new equipment and weights and area kept clean

Negative experience: Courteous employees. But management seems that they don't care about the equipment. The ab machine has not been fixed in more than a month and I'm thinking about getting a membership somewhere else!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place, always nice and clean, very friendly staff welcome's you with a big smile,

Fantastic experience: Very clean and friendly staff members

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, always nice and clean,

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, my only issue is front desk staff need more training, pretty much or most of the time they are socializing with friends , never had time to answer or talk to members, they're biggest concern is socialize. But the way is one staff member she's amazing I never ask her name she had like green hair. Next time I'll take some pics and share with you!! Blink owner

Fantastic experience: Great service I just got a blue Membership. I had good help from a worker named Angel he was so nice he helped me get a free start up session with a personal trainer. The gym was so clean Machines were cleaned and all working. Parking was great not full at all

Positive experience: Clean, decent amount of machines and space. Frontdesk is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: This fantastic gym deserves no less than five stars! I see several recurring themes in the negative reviews, and I have to say that most are minor, in my opinion. Yes, parking can be tight, especially during peak hours. But I've rarely had to wait more than a few minutes for a spot to become available. And let's keep in mind that Blink did what they could with the limited space available to them. I don't know why people think the staff is unfriendly or unprofessional. They ALWAYS greet people who walk in and say goodbye as they walk out. Some reviewers complained about the music, but this is beyond ridiculous. Gym music only needs to do one thing; be energetic, and the music here does the job just fine. I listen to shoegaze, black metal, grindcore, and all that loud noisy stuff, but even I dont mind the pop, hip hop, latin music they play, and I often actually enjoy it! And even if I didn't, there is a simple solution: earbuds/headphones. The one area I agree with can be improved upon is the time it takes to repair broken machines. But this is a minor issue when SO many alternatives exist in other machines. Ultimately, this is a world-class facility with awesome staff, and we are absolutely fortunate to have it here in Watts!

Negative experience: Unprofessional staff!! For a few more dollars go to a better quality gym!!! Machines are always broken 2/14/2023 12/6/2023Update on this gym men’s restroom is always broken stalls are literally falling apart, machines still broke and out of service!! Not worth the money or the headaches! Waiting for my contract to expire!!

Negative experience: Where can I start? This gym used to be good when it first opened (about 2 years ago but I think that is just the case for any other gym in socal) Unfortunately now, it is just another crowded place, even early in the mornings (5am) We all kind off knew this was going to happen due to the location the gym is in... Parking is always an issue due to the apartments around the area. Be prepared to wait to use the squat machines (thank social media for that and so called "influencers") Recording should be banned and there should be time slots that people can reserve to work out. The gym is simply too small for the area it is in.

Fantastic experience: Despite there never being much parking, everyone is so nice!

Negative experience: Ya más de cerca un año en este gym y hoy como otras veces me dicen que no se ha pagado mi mensualidad pero como otras veces he tenido que perder tiempo para que arreglen su sistema que por algún motivo no se cobra, le pedí a RUBEN que era la persona que me atendió que me dejara pasar ya que no traía mi tarjeta conmigo y me negó la entrada todavía le dije que siempre he pagado y con prepotencia me avisa que si no pagaba para la próxima no me dejaría entrar, cuántos más entraron este día debiendo mensualidades atrasadas y yo por unos días me negó el acceso!! Por cierto RUBEN ES EL MANAGER con esa actitud va a echar a perder la gente que tan bien ha trabajado desde que llegué a este gym

Fantastic experience: Work out sessions feel good !good place to come and work out and leave feeling good

Fantastic experience: That's a good gmy I love,,

Fantastic experience: exelente

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: Fans are off and AC seems to be off. This makes it extremely stuffy in there so working out is a drag. I get it if employees are cold but this place is for people working out. It needs to be ventilated and fresh. Fix ventilation issue please. If you ask the front desk to turn it on they will say "yes" but won't do it.

Positive experience: tenía 5 estrellas lo bajó a 4 El motivo es que tardan un mundo en reparar las máquinas y no les dan un mantenimiento profesional hay 5 máquinas arruinadas ya hace más de 2 meses

Fantastic experience: Good customer service, thank you.

Positive experience: Love coming in here. The staff here are all super friendly. Great place for me to get my workout routine but the only downside perhaps is the availability on weekends since they tend to close early

Fantastic experience: Muy económico y buen servicio

Positive experience: Decent gym. Did the one day trial pass before joining but considering the fact that they actually have weights and benches was a plus. They also have lot of cardio equipment.

Positive experience: Staff is the best. Find it hard to get a good workout in. Always packed with instagram models using equipment for pictures. Nothing the staff can do about it. Their hands are tied. Place is always clean equipment never down.

Negative experience: I be going to the gym for a year already and is the same issue with the stuff in the front dest they get bother when you tell them there’s no more wipes to clean the equipment they still make faces all those young employees they need more training one of the girls in the front this to me the I’m did only one that always bother them to put some wipes ‍♀️ All they do is laugh and talk all day and didn’t wanna do anything they should hire older stuff there’s a few machines broken from one month already and they haven’t even fixed them

Positive experience: It's a nice small gym, parking can be bad at times. Depending on who is at the front desk they're either nice or rude.

Fantastic experience: Customer service reps are AWESOME, COURTEOUS AND COMMUNICATIVE. THE PLACE IS CLEAN AND THEIR AC IS TURNED UP!

Negative experience: Parking is really bad here that i have to park at the starbucks across the street since people that don't even go to the gym are parking there. That's why i cancelled my membership and enrolled to another gym elsewhere. ☹️ I really liked it though it was very clean.

Negative experience: I will give one to star. There’s been a lot of times machines don’t work and don’t get fixed fast . I can pass weeks until they fixe them. Also there’s been more than ones that the gym it’s close and they open late. People waiting In the parking lot including me for the gym to open. It’s is unprofessional the gym website says opens at 5 am Monday through Friday. Everything was dark the power was off. The gym never opened. The website says it’s open. I went just to waste gas. Air conditioning it’s sucks sometimes they have it on sometimes they don’t. Gym owner should disclose that in the website so you know you shouldn’t wear sweaters or leggings to avoid dehydration due it to so much sweating. This is Seriously ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: good people

Positive experience: Parking limited. To many people texting on the machines and resting between sets. Typical at gyms. Zero people allow u to work in. Everybody works out like there in gym class in Jr high school. ..

Positive experience: Excellent workout environment… the kids working there need a little more training and being respectful. The equipment is kept clean and maintained.

Fantastic experience: Best time to go is either early morning or super late at night

Negative experience: No parking Staff are not friendly

Fantastic experience: I enrolled today with the 10$ monthly coverage that has a small cancellation fee. I enrolled in 6 minutes Natalie or Nani was very helpful and professional. I saw some negative comments hey owner and/or regional manager as long as you’re reading and fixing these issues then it’s all good any gym at peak hours 5-8 pm suck regardless. This gym was super clean and all employees looked happy working there. Ty for the hiring of them and the cleanliness. As of now 6/6/2022 gym was

Fantastic experience: Muy concurrido y tiene muy buenos aparatos y la gente que trabaja ahí muy amables me hacen sentir como en casa

Positive experience: Clean and sanitary

Fantastic experience: Machines work great. Big open facility and friendly staff. Great price too

Negative experience: Staff is super unwelcoming and we’re screaming through out the gym they are closing in 20 minutes, 19 minutes, 18 minutes, 17 minutes and so on. It was super uncomfortable to work out being that the gym doesn’t close until 11pm and they were trying to intimidate the member to leave even thought they pay their membership and can stay all the way up until the gym closes.

Positive experience: The gym it’s clean and the maintenance guy Yobani is really friendly/helpful. The only thing that I find annoying is that there is NEVER soap in the women’s restroom.

Positive experience: 1st visit was good

Positive experience: Overall my experience at Blink has been good. However, I have been consistently intimidated by a man who works out at this gym. He often walks circles around the machine I am using while I am there. He even confronted me in the parking lot for "looking" at him. There are only three olympic squat machines & sometimes they have fitness influencers that hog a machine for over 30mins while filming a video, no staff has ever approached these people. When I go to the gym, I am trying to get in and out. There are literally a lot of people on their phones, not finishing their sets, or talking with friends while other people are waiting. & get this! They have people jump people in line because they were saving the machine for a friend when people are standing around waiting. Staff need to enforce the 15-20 min machine limit or something. I've seen people hog one machine for a whole hour. (This location also does NOT have a gender neutral change room or restroom as advertised on their website).

Negative experience: They has says fake information

Negative experience: Saturday march 26 2022 Watts Blink fitness, Today I arrived at 7:00 am and I have been waiting for more than 42minutes and it is closed because the gym does not have electricity, this is uncomfortable and does not allow you to achieve your goals for the day, this should not happen, many members we are upset . Sabado marzo 26 2022. el día de hoy llegue a las 7:00am y llevo más de 42minutos de espera y está cerrado por qué no tiene energía eléctrica el gimnasio , esto es incómodo y no te permite realizar tus metas del día , esto no debe de pasar , muchos miembros estamos molestos .

Fantastic experience: Not too busy like LA FITNESS. Very upbeat vibe. Great machines that are practically new. The staff is very friendly. Will need proof of vaccination before entering.

Positive experience: Lugar agradable y muy limpio

Fantastic experience: I love it!! The staff is awesome!!!! Nice and clean!!!!!

Negative experience: No parking for members because of the low income housing across the street that parks here. 2 machines have been broken for months, one of them for over 4 months. Overcrowded at night and people steal the clips for machines, so that’s always a problem. Music is Loud and not good. The machines that used to have Wi-Fi when this place first opened don’t anymore. Machines always broken.

Fantastic experience: Dope.

Fantastic experience: Nice place to work out inside everything brand new

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Just started to work out lil by lil hope to keep going until I reach my goals, I know it ain't easy but I'm willing to put in the hard work and time also this place in nice always clean and a machines are always open at least when I go.

Fantastic experience: Love this place . Kept clean very friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Clean gym Not too packed at certain times

Positive experience: They do a good job at keeping it nice and clean. There’s also ample parking. Only thing is that employees look like they hate their job. Yikes. Also, one message for the ladies: if you see someone using a mirror, don’t go ahead and start taking pictures of yourself. It’s a privacy issue. Plus this is the GYM. Go take pictures at your house. Thanks :)

Fantastic experience: Looks nice would have liked a personal tour . I will assume they don't do it because of the pandemic. But I sure signed up time to get some exercise going..

Fantastic experience: Un lugar limpio y tranquilo buenas maquinas

Negative experience: I am being charged for 12 months maintenance fee after the gym closed for covid 2 months after I signed up and now that it reopen I have only 7 months worth of the service but am still being FORCED to pay 12 months maintenance fee
