Hey here is not have good offer and good Deal.
I just used the 3 month and paid monthly and annual fee and 50$ CANCELLATION FEE.
No body said me about CANCELLATION FEE.
And i asked when have sign papers work and nobody said about that.
Terrible
Have been a member of this gym for over 3 years and until the last few weeks the following issues were never present: I have shown up 3 times in the past week and a half and no staff showed up for work I guess and not able to work out. The manager assured me after the 2nd time this was taken care of and would never happen again. Due to my work I have to work out earlier in the day so I am paying for a gym I am not able to access. Management should be at openings for an extended period every day to both insure staff are coming to work and insure the gym is open on time for members to be able to access. Unfortunately staff performance is reflective of management when it is a continued issue. I love the facilities and equipment but if I can't use it, not sure if I will continue paying membership here due to these issues.
Retro fitness has all the equipment I need to do the exercises prescribed by my personal trainer. The equipment is in excellent condition and they just got new weights, medicine balls, and other equipment on the second floor. Now everything is right in one spot which makes it easier to do all my workouts. Also, it's never over crowded so you don't have to wait on equipment.
I go here because there is nothing better in the area.
Pros: It has a lot of newer machines and weights to get the job done. Staff is nice but has high turnover. I think there have been like 4-5 fitness coach managers in a year.
Cons: Barely any classes- and they're offered at a limited schedule. Things break and they are left broken for months. Leg machine was broken for 3 months. Toilet was closed for a month upstairs. We had a coat rack, it broke and they just didn't replace it. Cleaning equipment is empty or broken often. At some point, this equipment will age and break more often and Retro will have nothing for people to use unless they get used to fixing things quickly.
But this place is better than Xsport down the road, so...
This Gym is the place to be, nice and ample getting new equipment and very and I mean very friendly staff.
Rick Ramirez and Jaime are my personal trainers and are the reason why I'm excited to go in for a workout they cater the training regime to fit my level or rather lack of fitness.
Seriously come on in and sweat have fun and be fit
Get the personal training classes if you are a beginner because you will be guided to establish a good foundation for your future success.
Be mindful in the sense that you are making an investment in your self get the personal training and carve your master piece of art sculpt that fabulous body you have!!!!
Good gym, but it has been going downhill since I signed up last year. They blast music way too loud sometimes to the point where it even drowns out my headphones, when equipment gets broken it takes longer and longer to fix, the paper towel dispensers used for wiping down equipment are constantly empty and the gym area overall has become pretty messy. They also seem to have a ridiculously high staff turnover rate, which isn't a good sign. They don't really do much anyway- there are signs up about not having bags with you while working out, or not playing music from your phone without headphones, but people do both and the staff doesn't say a word. I used to recommend this gym to everyone, but I don't anymore. Still, it has the equipment and weights I need, so the place gets the job done.
Someone needs to clean this gym. It is nice but, too dirty for me!
the broken rowing machine by Personal Training has been there over a month!

The facility offers a wide variety of machines and space to tailor your workouts to your goals and spans two floors! The gamification strategy I also find very appealing.
I see a fair amount of malfunctioning cardio equipment but they have so much available that it's easy to find something that's working. The locker rooms are kept pretty clean inclusive of the showers.
Lastly, my sign up was not great as i did not get the promotion offered, but had qualified for, yet it hasn't tainted my overall perception of the operation.

I go here on weekends. I like the Zumba class with Jesse, although I totally can't keep up with it! Locker room floors not clean enough for my preferences, and no towels or toiletries. The hydromassage is nice to use after a workout.
Up to Date, State of the Art, Private, Fun, Professional and Friendly, I have RA and use a walker and I had a blast! There's an elevator, everything is clean and spacious. I felt welcome!

The staff deserves 5 stars, the owner deserves none. He under pays his employees not even min wage, wont pay overtime, wont compensate for any holidays. He treats his staff like garbage and expects a salary paid manager to work a unreasonable amount of hours. He doesn't care about his business in the community, nor his members. Its strictly about the $. He doesnt deserve to have the community of Portage park support his gym or business. He has gone through staff and 4 General Managers since the gym has opened (1 yr ago) I wouldnt recommend buying any personal training at this gym since he believes it's ok to lie to people to lock them into a 12 month personal training contract that you get stuck in. Watch what your signing up for. I wouldn't recommend signing up for this gym.
If you dont know what means to workout. Then I dont know what's wrong with people. These trainers mean serious business when it comes to word "Personal Training" they mean it with a passion.
Been going to Retro Irving Park for several months. Not too busy, clean, good people there. Only thing I would say as a criticism is that it could use one more free weight squat rack.
I am surprised.
Everything is excellent.
I will recommend this gym to my friends
I've been pretty happy with Retro Fitness, I signed up about few months ago and the process was quick and easy. I pay $35/month for the package including childcare but there's one for $20/month. I start out my session on one of the hydromassage chairs (the first time I tried it I wasn't impressed with the pressure-which was on the highest setting--10-- but every time after has been much more powerful and a great experience). There are tons of free cardio machines and I've never had to wait to go on the stairmaster even though there are only two.
The childcare was my favorite part at the beginning, but now I wish they would just take the tv out. I feel like my daughter often watches TV instead of playing and I think not having a tv would encourage the kids to play more. They have cute little exercise equipment that the kids can use as well as a coloring table, play mats, and other toys and chairs.
The equipment is all very new (it's all red and yellow so kind of an eyesore, but you get used to it). The locker rooms are very nice and always clean. There's a cardio cinema, but several of the machines squeak so I avoid it. Parking is also much easier than most places in Chicago.
The main con is that the childcare doesn't overlap with any classes which is a bummer. Once they get more kids coming, they said they would increase the hours (I didn't believe them at first but they did add childcare to the weekend since a few other kids started coming, so they seem trustworthy). There doesn't seem to be any good mat to do core work, so I just use the individual mats in the cardio classroom, but it's not ideal. Also, the kettle bells and other fun equipment is off limits except for the personal trainers and their clients. I totally understand (I used to be a personal trainer, and I know how annoying it can be to have people on your equipment when you need it) but wish we could use them when no one else is. I prefer more functional workouts, and am somewhat limited without that equipment. None of these are a big deal though, I'm just spoiled coming from a great gym in California.
Great equipment and nice, friendly staff. Hours could be better, but they'll get there. Not bad for a newly opened gym.
Doesnt have the universal pull over machine or a sitdown tricep press. Bring headphones or the music they play will put you to sleep. Other than that it is one of the better gyms. Most XSPORTS too many people and not enough equipment. Though both blow Planet Fitness out of the water. The heaviest dumbbell I've seen in Planet Fitness is 75 lb is that have a 50 pound dumbbell Max.
Great selection of machines, well lit, clean and not too crowded. AND a participating gym in my BCBS wellness program. People that work there are nice too.

The childcare is probably my favorite part about Retro Fitness--Liz is awesome and my daughter loves going and playing around or watching a movie (usually both). They have cute little exercise equipment that the kids can use as well as a coloring table, play mats, and other toys and chairs.

Very clean. Staff is great and the price is better than anything else around. The trainers are there to help and there is plenty of equipment to use.
I've been working out at Retro Fitness in Portage Park for the last month and absolutely love it!! To have a gym of this caliber in the neighborhood is fantastic. All of the employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. The environment and equipment that they offer is best in class and has really motivated me to go the gym. I highly recommend this Retro Fitness to anyone looking to simply get in better shape or seriously step up their fitness game.
Great gym! Like bright colors of equipment and music, which lightening up the mood. Front desk is super nice. They know every one by first name. Love the smoothie bar. Movie theater is my favorite.
Awesome place!! Frankie awesome as hell! So is rest of staff. Love this place.
I come here with some friends! Love coming here at night!
Friendly staff and decent equipment selection. It's never crowded so you don't fight over equipment. They've stepped up their cleanliness too.
I love this gym! Very night staff, the manager Aristeo gave me a tour and I'm excited to start working out here! Clean, nice atmosphere and amazing deals. So happy they opened a Retro Fitness in Chicago.
This is an awesome gym especially how you work comfortable and the workers here are respectful. Franky Rosario for example is extremely nice. If your finding a gym to work out this one is the one your looking for. Hope you enjoy it how I do so much
