New Blink Fitness Location Coming To Sunset Park

SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — Sunset Park gym rats will have soon another workout option in the neighborhood.

Blink Fitness — which touts its clean facilities and friendly vibes — has announced the signing of a lease in Sunset Park, its first location in the Brooklyn neighborhood. The new location at 5109 Fourth Avenue, between 51st and 52nd streets, is slated to open in the fall of this year.

The gym is set to occupy a full building, with 15,000 square feet of space between three floors. According to a press release from the company, Blink Fitness members can look forward to "top-of-the-line" cardio and strength equipment, certified personal trainers and a spacious, modern design that is equal parts colorful and bright.
