Blink Fitness Evanston

Nov 2023

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.

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.

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
