New Reservation System and Real-Time Capacity Tracking Help Members Avoid Crowds and Book Before Arriving

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2020 // PRNewswire // - Blink Fitness is pleased to announce the launch of a new reservation system and capacity tracker allowing members to plan their next visit from the comfort of home. Open Blink locations around the U.S. are operating at limited capacities in accordance with local and state guidelines, with most at just 25-33% of their normal capacity numbers. The gym's new reservation system allows members to book hourly time slots before arriving, instilling confidence and reliability as they return to their exercise routines. Similarly, if members are curious to understand their gym's current capacity status, Blink's tracker allows for real-time insight prior to arrival.

The reservation system is available at traditionally busy locations. Blink is encouraging reservations at these, now open, New York City gyms:

• 125th St.
• 116th St.
• 54th St.
• Astoria
• Bryant Park
• Chelsea
• East Village
• FiDi
• Fordham
• Gates
• Grand Central
• Jackson Heights
• Murray Hill
• Noho
• Parkchester
• Penn Station
• Queens Village
• Washington Heights
• Woodside

Members with scheduled PT sessions do not need to reserve a timeslot for their appointment time. Guests are not permitted at these locations at this time and walk-ins are only allowed at these locations when there is availability.

When utilizing the new capacity tracker, members with the Blink App will receive a push notification prompting them to check capacity before planning their work out during peak hours. Capacity is displayed to members in four stages – 25%, 50%, 75% and full – as it applies to the total member volume each gym is allotted under the current restrictions. Members who arrive at a full capacity location will be prompted to wait in line and will be allowed entry on a first first-come, first-serve basis.

"We are so thrilled to be able to welcome members back to our gyms and once again be a part of their fitness routines," said Blink Fitness CEO, Todd Magazine. "We are always looking for ways to improve the Blink experience, and the implementation of these new services elevates and streamlines the member experience. Our goal is to ensure the mood-lifting benefits of exercise are safely felt by all of our members, especially during this time of heightened stress."
