VULTURES. STAY AWAY! They will keep charging you after you cancel your membership. Many of their locations have shut down, and I'll be much happier when this one follows.

I just want to thank Siied for the training! He listened to the goal I wanted to achieve and drafted the perfect workouts for it! He helped me lose fat and build a lot of muscle!

I would sincerely like to thank, Manager Henry at the Retro Fitness located in Glendale for his excellent support, communication, and expertise in the business that he's in.

Especially when working with clients who need need answers instead of excuses.

He was extremely helpful to me and took the time to enhance and assist me during my fitness journey with Retro Fitness.

Thank you so much.

Best gym in NY hands down. I drive 30 minutes from Brooklyn just to come to this location and Forest Hills.

Today, I left my wallet in locker room and didn't even notice it until I received a phone call from the front desk, Lisa (beautiful young lady and great customer service), that she found my wallet. I drove back to retrieve my wallet and all my money, credit cards, mta cards were still in it. This speaks to the integrity and of the employees and other gym members that use this facility. Everyone looks out for each other here.

Also, my 3 boys love the daycare facility and look forward to going the gym. Gym is a true reflection of great leadership, Alex the manager is awesome.

I love the location, it's a good gym. However, I was offered a free session of personal training and was somehow roped into signing a yearly contract with the trainers.

I immediately told them I don't plan on using the service, and would like to not be a part of the plan. They didn't oblige and expect me to pay 1200 dollars over a year for a plan and service I have ZERO intention of using.

I just wanted to go to the gym at my pace but of course, they plan on squeezing every penny out of you even if they're not providing something you're interested in.

I don't have any intention on returning.

Decent gym at best. There are nicer RetroFitness locations but this one is pretty decent. The staff is friendly and the machines are a mixture of new and old. Not the easiest to get to with public transportation but there is a large parking lot. The membership policies here are pretty ridiculous. When/If you become a member, make sure you understand every single detail before signing up.

This gym is amazing. Its has everything you need to succeed and more. I like the special movie room where you can get some good cardio done of the treadmill while watching a movie in a dark theater. Very nice staff and food location will definitely be going back often

The gym was ok. But now that i have moved i have been trying to cancel and every single time i call i get someone saying you have to call when the manager is here, they give me a time.. i call and then again to my surprise a manager isn't there! So now i paid another TWO more times for nothing!! I already have a few charges on my card that make no sense! and so does my husband!! I barely went to the gym i gave you my $20 a month for nothing for so many years and they continue to take your money!! Places like this make you not want to never join a gym! They steal your money!

I'm an average/intermediate weight lifter. I signed up to this gym because they attract you in with the $1 sign up fee + first month fee for a monthly fee of about $20, right? So I had been going to the gym for 4+ years and was a loyal member. Occasionally equipment would break and it would take weeks to fix (also about twice a year there is a $50-70 maintence fee thrown in). However, the main reason I left was because from 5-10pm every weekday the gym & parking lot gets PACKED. PACKED. I cannot stress that enough. So eventually I got tired of dealing with this nonsense and decided to quit Retro ( or so I thought ).

This has been the worse experience with a "professional" company I've had. I couldn't cancel my membership over the phone. I had to come down in person if I wanted to cancel. NOW, I went down in person to cancel and the manager informs me I have to PAY FOR 2 MONTHS before the membership is terminated officially (apparently its "in my contract"), fine whatever I'll pay it just to leave this place and be done. A few weeks later I come to find out I've been charged the $50 maintenance fee now as well. If you really see money as an issue then I say make your peace with planet fitness at $10 a month without the heavy weights, but if you need the heavy weights, are a student AND can pre-pay a year's membership at Coliseum over at 7509 71st Ave - you can get it for $28 a month.

BEST OF LUCK

So happy my 1 year was up. Went and joined back to a real gym. Not nearly enough equipment for the amount of people in there; and I was going in the morning before 10am.

great staff, bunch of machines, variety of equipment, everyone gets what they need for their workout, unless its a monday

Too expensive for the area there s no public transportation near by and you forced to drive there. Gym looks ok clean its excellent but gets overcrowded. Too pricey and too many juice heads . Decided to go to frenchie Gym Brooklyn hard core old school Gym a real clean hardcore gym.

As you grow up, priorities change and health and fitness are now at the top of my list. Coming from a blink to here, I'm super excited when I come in. I've been early in the morning and late in the evenings and there's always parking. The machine selection is good, 4different squat racks, V squats, hack squats, leg days are no problem from the selection. Great core selection as well, bumper plate area and 2 sleds. Almost feels like a crossfit facility with the space and atmosphere. It has a training salon, juice bar, and theatre cardio. They have some serious lifters, but everyone has been friendly and welcoming. Love hearing the echoes of heavy weight hitting the floor. Negative 1 star cause there was tape on a grip and it ripped my glove.

Great place for a good workout

February 24, 2018 12:26

This gym has the equipment for every body part and cardio. It has towels and a water fountain. It has excellent open hours with the exception of Sundays being very short closing at 7pm.

Very nice set-up. Not crowded if you go any time from 4-8 am, Mon-Fri. Good luck with the crowd if you go any later than that.

February 17, 2018 12:25

Clean and there is a great staff. The equipment is amazing.

awesome gym and very clean though people don't put weights back on the rack

December 23, 2017 08:56

First off, the machines are always broken. There are not enough weights to sustain all the people working out. The bathrooms are not cleaned. The topper, the ppl who work there are some of the rudest, most unprofessional people. It seems they're only there to make drinks and act like 12 year olds. This gym has so much promise, but fails to deliver. The parking lot is huge and it's the only positive here

October 18, 2017 11:26

Pros: free parking, it's big, good set up.
Cons: broken equipment, misplaced weights everywhere. Smells kinda weird. Water leaking from the ceiling and MISPLACED WEIGHTS.

October 18, 2017 11:26

Very clean gym and locker room. They also have a cardio theater. At $20/m, it's hard to beat!

October 18, 2017 11:26

This is the best gym I have ever attended! Very friendly/knowledgeable staff, cleaner than any other gym, great ammenities AND parking always available! The shakes are fantastic and great for post workout. This gym is constantly updating its facility with new equiptment such as the Retro 2.0 center and machines such as the stair master. I can't workout anywhere else.

October 18, 2017 11:26

Large gym with alot of weight and cardio equipment. Well priced as well. Problem is alot of the machines were broken or poorly maintained when I joined. And after a month haven't been repaired.

Just don't go there, because you are going to regret it at one point. You can become a member and fill the papers with the cleaning lady, but when you want to cancel it you need a manager who is unpleasant, and never there, only one day in a week, or at least they said that. They are going to try to make things as complicated as they can get, and they are going to charge you 2 more months after you cancel it.
It is overcrowded as everybody says, and yes, nobody racks weights, and it does smell like something died in the locker room.
It's always too hot, and way too humid!
Only thing good about the place is that it looks clean and some of the girls are really pleasant.
