Blink Fitness Joins Farmingdale With Ribbon Cutting: PHOTOS

FARMINGDALE, NY — Blink Fitness is officially a part of the Farmingdale community. The gym and fitness center held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its 450 Main St. location on Friday afternoon.

The gym offers memberships starting as low as $15 per month and has a philosophy that exercise isn’t just about looking good, it’s also about how it makes you feel.

"We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable and confident with who they are," said Isabel Costanzo, club manager of Blink Fitness in Farmingdale. "We're so, so excited to provide a place where people can come and be who they are, but also become who they want to be."

Blink Farmingdale will feature state-of-the-art equipment for every fitness level, including cardio machines, strength equipment, dumbbells and designated areas for stretching, HIIT, body weight training and more, according to the company. Certified personal trainers will be available for members looking for one-on-one fitness coaching, and every membership comes with a free personal training start up session. On an ongoing basis, personal training sessions start as low as $30.

Allen Pinero, owner of local Blink franchises, has made it a point to get involved with the Farmingdale community during it took for the gym's doors to open by participating in the village's movie nights, as well as Music on Main. Pinero presented 10 Blink memberships each to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - Long Island Chapter and the Farmingdale Council of PTAs.

The local Blink staff was joined at the ceremony by Blink Fitness CEO Todd Magazine, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Farmingdale Village Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce and New York State Assemblyman John Mikulin, and radio station 94.3 The Shark among others.

"We congratulate you and welcome you to downtown Farmingdale," Ekstrand said. "We wish you many years of happy success. We're going to help you grow, and you're going to help us stay slim."

"Here in the Town of Oyster Bay, we understand that the economic strength of the community comes from our businesses," Saladino added.

The gym recently launched a mobile app that empowers and enables members to exercise anytime, anywhere by providing hundreds of workout videos, including HIIT, strength, yoga, stretching, Pilates, spinning and treadmill classes, as well as guided meditations.
