Best Gym near Rego-park, New-york

This gym is the first one I have joined, so I don't have any comparisons to other places, but my experience has been great so far. The staff and coaches are always welcoming. I appreciate the point system, which motivates me to go to the gym regularly. Evenings around 7-8 pm during the middle of the week are very busy, and I sometimes have to wait to use the equipment. However, most of the equipment is in good condition. On weekends, I can use any equipment without waiting. My hypertension issues have improved significantly since I started going to the gym, so I will continue coming here to maintain my health.

This Place is Crooked!!!! I signed up during sometime post Covid for a non contract monthly service. Went ONLY once or twice.They tell you that you have to connect a credit card or bank card to get services, which I connected my credit card initially Then immediately Went back to the location to try to cancel because they would not let me do it over phone. They told me I had to come back when the person who is responsible for canceling services is there. I attempted to go back again but missed the person again because they supposedly left work. I also have a job also which I couldn’t miss work and the location wasn’t convenient. It slipped my mind and A year or more ended up passing with Retro getting free monthly payments from my credit card even though I could not go. As soon as i no longer had the credit card, Retro Fitness began to threaten, harass me and accuse me of not making payments. I explained over the phone that they have some nerve to try to get “FREE MONEY “ off of services I did not utilize and tried to terminate. They received free membership money for possibly two years!! I told them to check the account and see for themselves. Instead they hanged up the phone in a disrespectful manner and later investigated to try to ruin my credit history by putting my account in collections for $265. BEWARE!!! Of RETRO FITNESS!!! THEY ARE WICKED!!!! THEY ARE EVIL !!!!

It is a decent place to work out. Continuously renovates and improves itself. I have a good impression. However, it is completely uncontrolled. People continuously uses their cells in workout places, weights are not arranged at all and people loudly talks here and there-even a trainer creates this kind of loud talk. They think it is social-friendly environment. Maybe it is good for some but not for me.

Recently had some redesigning done so it's better than it was 2 years ago, but it's still kind of lackluster and unhygienic. Men's bathroom floor is dirty and the water stations often have bad filters. A policy of cleaning machines after use needs to be reinforced, currently no one cares enough to do it and most machines are covered in sweat, and people don't bother to clean up after their stinky selves.

This Gym is quite in good place for workout and the size is massive but the equipments aren’t smooth !! feels terrible because it’s very big gym but to much people. no place to stand on certain time. they need another branch nearby.

I’ve been coming to this gym for 1+ year and I definitely have some concerns. The stairs machines haven’t worked well since I signed up, only one “works well” and even that one still have some issues. They just have ONE smith machine and is broken. Only ONE abductors machine and is broken. The recovery room was supposed to be working 1 month after I signed, and still not open to the public. I don’t know who runs the gym, but looks like they don’t care that much. Still the only gym around instead of planet fitness and thinking about changing for that one. Anyway, they have a good place but someone who really cares and wants to re-invest the money needs to get in charge.

This gym is a total dump. It always smells like vomit, machines are always broken and/or falling apart. The weights are always a mess and all over the place. They charge you more now and don't offer regular towels and paper towels like they use to. The cleaning crew sucks. The mens locker room looks like a hood rat dump. It hasn't been cleaned all year and the year is almost over.🤦‍♂️ The toilets look so damn nasty, that I think I would catch a diseases if I sat on them🤮. The sauna is so gross and so disgusting. The only time this gym was clean was when the spanish girl who always sings was there, but I haven't seen her there the past couple of weeks. The managers don't seem to care about anything there. It's just a shame that this place has gone down hill so fast. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who is serious about working out at all. My pictures below are from several different days and weeks proving that no one cleans the mens locker room ever.

For the amount I’m paying in membership, this is absolutely disgraceful. This gym is crowded constantly and dirty. There’s not enough machines and the machines that we do have are all falling apart. As of yesterday at least four or five machines or out of service. This is completely unacceptable. There needs to be more machines of higher quality and better cleaning procedures periods if that’s not the case then Management needs to reduce the membership prices significantly. This is not your New York sports club that you think it is. Don’t let the name fool you. I see Management commenting on everybody’s one star reviews saying that they will improve the experience, but I’ve been here long enough to see no improvement.

Always packed and always smells. Most of the barbells and curl bars are completely missing from the gym, which is a huge issue when I’m trying to get a proper workout. There’s a frustrating gap in the available weights—they jump from 50 lbs to 80 lbs with nothing in between. It’s incredibly inconvenient and makes it nearly impossible to follow my routine. How has this not been addressed by simply adding new barbells to the gym?

The maintenance and cleanliness of this place is decadent. My husband finds the lockers full of things from people who leave them overnight every day, leaving no room for others. They have been like this, used and dirty piled up for weeks. They don't clean the sinks either and there are a lot of flies flying around.
