New owners and new name for June 2019. The former Retro fitness gym at this location is now "WillyB fitness".
I've been a member of Retro and originally signed up at this location. It's a very large gym with lots of machinery. One of the things I didn't like was the fly machine being broken for over a month in addition to the glute machine binding and not working properly.
Other than that, the locker room was decently clean and the main floor pretty stocked with free dumbbells (well, maybe another set or so of the most used weights like 30's and 35's would be nice).
According to a recently sent out member email, the gym will undergo some modifications during operation, such as the addition of towels, Sauna's in both locker rooms, a new smoothie and coffee bar, hot water for the showers, and some new machinery, to name the most notable promises.
I'm sticking around for a month or so to see what manifests. Other Retro locations may not honor current membership id, as the Park Slope location of Retro fitness said I needed to rejoin at their location and pay a month's fee up front and commit to a one year plan. I'm holding out for a bit.
