I used to belong to LA Fitness in Evanston until it closed. I'm pretty happy it did close because I like Blink a lot more. It is further away but a good walk/run distance for me to warm up.The equipment is in good/like new condition. Nothing seemed to be missing.I went on Sunday afternoon which was nicely quiet. I could walk right up to the squat rack and bench press. I wish that were true at my home gym (at any time or day.)The staff was really nice and helpful.Overall, one of the best gym experiences I've had in a long time.

I’ve been a member here for 10 months. The gym is new and clean but unfortunately, the staff is young and unhelpful. I have been lied to, by two different staff members, hung up on by one during a phone call and another laughed in my face while eating a banana when I asked to check the lost and found for my airpod case that disappeared from my locker during a visit. Ethically I just can’t continue to support a business that demonstrates such lack of care and concern for their customers.

Excellent value, especially for beginners and fitness enthusiasts. It offers all the standard equipment and features you’d expect. The facility is clean with new equipment. No lingering gym odor!There are quite a few teenagers, some of whom use their phones to record workouts or play games. Additionally, the absence of a water bottle filling station is inconvenient; using a regular drinking fountain with low water pressure can be messy. It’s surprising that such a well-funded gym overlooked this commonly used amenity.

Friendly staff , clean, inviting. Age-friendly routines. No fitness classes per se, but that works for me.

Alex was super nice and helpful! I checked out two other local gyms but he was by far the best staff member I encountered. The gym is a good size and the equipment worked great.

Nice gym, good for its pricing. If you're an Evanstonian you are likely to see some familiar faces, especially during summer time.

High intensity interval workouts led by qualified trainers with a focus on heart rates. You can modify workouts to your fitness level, but it's challenging and likely not ideal for just starting out

I love this place. Frequent it daily, sometimes 2 times in a day! But this day was upsetting. Many people were outside waiting in the cold in April for 20 minutes before they finally left. Many cars waited a full hour before giving up. The gym opens at 5am and it’s closed. People pay a lot of money for consistency and this was the 2nd morning this week that staff arrived late or not at all. That was a bit upsetting.

I was a member for close to four years. Within that time my membership remained at the same level. For two of those four years I was randomly charged amounts other than my monthly membership and annual fee (example: $61.99, $22.99, $123.98...). I spoke with multiple managers regarding the unauthorized charges and was told time and time again it wouldn't happen again. Unfortunately, for the past two months I have been charged over $100, each month. After leaving messages for Tracy to help me resolve this and not receiving a call back I took to Twitter, Instagram and even called the 800 number in hopes of having the charges reversed. Finally, I disputed the charges with my bank only to find out someone within Blink's billing office contested my dispute saying the charges were authorized. I am currently out hundreds of dollars for unauthorized charges that I was assured would be reversed. Even after suggesting they delete my current account and re-open a new one in an attempt to separate myself from whatever software/ id10t issue is taking place on the back end, they have done absolutely nothing. I suggest anyone signed up with Blink check all their bank statements closely to avoid going through this nightmare of a situation.
