Read the fine print before signing a membership, and you should be fine (I haven’t tried to cancel, though!). Looks like an LA Fitness. There’s lockers (bring a lock), a shower, and they have a few workout classes (body pump is awesome). The child care workers are great!
Should I Join Blink Fitness?
Blink Fitness is a really good mid-budget gym, especially if you love cardio workouts. They’ve got tons of machines for that. They’re also good for those who are into strength training or CrossFit-style workouts. With membership plans costing $20 a month, I think Blink Fitness is a great choice for anyone looking for a decent gym at a budget-friendly price.
