2. Blink and a New Fitness Center Opens

Value-for-money fitness center Blink will open its first Upstate New York location in September 2018. The New York based franchisor is to locate the new outlet in Syracuse. The 20,000 square foot center is owned and will be operated by Dean Panos.

“I’m thrilled to introduce the Syracuse community to a gym that delivers such a high-quality member experience at an accessible price point,” Panos said, “I am equally as excited to share the same rooftop as a nationally recognized Fortune 500 company who delivers the same high-quality experience as Blink Fitness. It is a gym that Syracuse residents have long demanded and deserved. Blink’s focus on how exercise makes you feel is a game-changer in an industry that has historically emphasized the need for flat abs and bulging biceps.”
