Blink fitness or Retro fitness (Pro/Con)

Which gym is better?

So moving to NY, I have tried blink fitness and retro fitness. It is the closest gym to me since I live in Queens. There are multiple locations for both these gym and my post is regarding the queens locations. This is also from a weightlifter/power lifter point of view.

I first started out with Blink:

Pro: $24 monthly (bring a friend each time)

Pro/Con: Beginner gym (lots of kids)

Con: not enough squat racks

Con: too crowded

Blinks that are close to train stations tend to be packed when school is off. There were times where I had to wait over an hour for a squat rack.

Retro:

Con: 40 monthly (bring a friend each time)

Pro: more than half of people know what they’re doing.

Pro: not as crowded (don’t want to wait long for a squat rack)

Pro: Lots of equipment.

Well, living in NYC is very costly, which gym do you like the best?
