Blink Fitness Coming To Lindenhurst

LINDENHURST, NY – The 5-year vacant eyesore that is the former Sears Hardware store in the King Kullen shopping center will become home to the ninth Long Island Blink Fitness location come next year.

Blink Fitness made the official announcement Tuesday even though its website has listed Lindenhurst as a future location for some time now.

The new gym, which will be located at 600 N. Wellwood Ave., will open in early 2018. Eclipse Capital LLC is developing the Lindenhurst Blink location along with five others on Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey.

"We recognized that the Blink team had a blueprint for success and a tremendous support system for franchisees," said Allen Pinero, a co-founder of Eclipse Capital who is also a native Long Islander. "As owner/operators, we are excited by the opportunity to improve the lives of people in our local communities in Long Island, Westchester and Central Jersey by providing a high-quality, welcoming fitness option."

Blink Fitness has opened nearly 60 locations across New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and has several additional company-owned and franchise locations in various stages of development in other major U.S. markets.

Blink has not yet announced pricing for its Lindenhurst gym, but the basic monthly membership price at its West Islip location is $20. There's also an annual maintenance fee of $49. "The fee is invested straight back into our locations to maintain equipment and ensure the gyms are always fresh and clean," Blink's website says.
