Blink Fitness’ Partnership with Wegmans Helps Expansion Blink Fitness Partnership with Wegmans Helps Expansion

By Tamar Turner

Alyssa: We want to provide you a positive atmosphere so that you wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.

Tamar: A positive atmosphere is just one focal point for Blink Fitness and with expansion on the horizon…it doesn’t stop there.

Amazjah: There’s always stuff that we can work on moving forward because we are new and this is a business so there’s always new things. There are some difficult times so there are some things we need to improve on especially since we are opening other clubs.

Tamar: And with the fitness center that is already open in Liverpool, how have they been able to achieve success thus far?

Alyssa: Moving into the Wegmans Plaza was a huge move for us. I think that, that relationship complementing it so well and Wegman’s being established in all those cities already is kind of helping us to get the foot in the door.

Tamar: But for Blink it is not just about promoting the amenities that their facility has to offer but it is also about location which is why in direct proximity to this location and their newest Onondaga location is a Wegmans, whom they decided to partner with in order to promote healthy lifestyle choices.

Amazjah: This is the perfect area because we’re all about healthy eating and exercising so it’s good to have that combination together because when we do have special events, we always have Wegmans in here and they promote healthy eating and healthy living and it pairs well together.

Tamar: In addition to their expansion, Blink wants their presence felt all throughout the community.

Alyssa: We’re also about giving back to the community so you’ll see us at different events. We went to a bunch of different events last year. So far this year we’ve already been to Corps Challenge, most recently.

Tamar: From Liverpool to Onondaga, and now Rochester and Buffalo are on the map…Blink is continuing their mission and it may be coming to a community near you.

By Tamar Turner SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) – Blink Fitness is preparing to open its second location in the Central New York Community. Their first facility is in Liverpool, but the newest one will be located on Onondaga Boulevard.

Assistant Club Manager Amazjah Grant says that Blink doesn’t want to be labeled as just another gym, because it goes beyond fitness.

“We offer mood lifters to ensure all guests are greeted with enthusiasm, upbeat music to keep the energy high and we have an everybody cleans policy to keep the facility at its best at all times,” said Grant.

The center in Liverpool and the new one in Onondaga are both located next to Wegmans and both companies have formed a partnership. Blink recognizes that a healthy lifestyle extends beyond just exercising and is using Wegman’s to showcase healthy choices and habits when it comes to eating.

“Blink and Wegmans pair well together because we are promoting the same message, and this partnership will allows us to continue to expand to more locations in more cities,” said Assistant Club Manager Alyssa Potrikus.

Blink has already done a few special events this year and Wegmans was able to come in and promote healthy eating through a variety of food samples.

The Onondaga Boulevard location is set to open some time in October, but a center in Rochester is in progress and Buffalo could be next.

 

The newest location for Blink Fitness will be located at 4722 Onondaga Boulevard.
