Retro Fitness

This Retro is just okay. My biggest complaint is there’s no warm-up/cool-down/stretching/abdominal area. The front area to the side is the only space but it’s way too small of an area and packed with machines. People often walk over, get frustrated and walk away. Please reorganize it and free up some floor space. Get rid of or move the step equipment, rowing machines and the huge pulley weight machine (that is not the place for it, it’s away from all the other machines). Keep the ellipticals, ab machines, free weights, yoga mats. In general, there’s too much equipment in the gym and it’s all very close together. I don’t even mind too much that the machines are old. There are too many treadmills. They’re never all being used. It would be much better if you reorganized the place a bit, edited the equipment, cleaned a little better including the machines and yoga mats, and increased the air circulation (some days it's seriously rank in there and while I appreciate the doors being open to get fresh air, you know because of germs and all, it’s not enough and it’s often warm in there). The good things are the employees are nice, it's fairly priced, has all the equipment you need, people wipe down machines, it’s not a scene and it has pretty good hours (though should be open later on weekends). Thanks.

Used this gym over the summer. Staff is pretty friendly. Biggest complaint is the age of the equipment. Most of it works. But many of the numbers are fading away, the grips are wearing, and the treadmills still have the original iPod ports. A lot of it probably should have be replaced years ago. They stay open until 11:00 on weekdays, which is better than a lot of gyms, but midnight would be even better. Update: I had significant difficulty canceling my membership and was charged for an extra month. When I initially signed up, a staff member informed me I could cancel over the phone. However, when I called to cancel, I was told it had to be done in person. Since I was out of state and unable to cancel in person, they suggested I mail a letter, which I did. Despite this, I was still charged for the extra month. Overall, I found the process to be unethical and lacking in understanding. I would recommend looking into other gyms in the area.

This retro fitness is a no-nonsense gym, just a bunch of great members there to get their work in and not clog up machines and equipment. No selfie sticks, no ego lifters, nobody trying to pick up a date. And pretty much everyone respects the idea of wiping things down and put things back where they belong. It gets a little more packed in the summer when LBI picks up but they have great hours which allows you to avoid the crowds. And the staff is great, making sure the place stays in order and organized and so friendly as they greet you on the way in.

Would give zero stars if I could. I have a premium membership so I can go to the gym wherever I travel and since I didn’t have my barcode they wouldn’t let me in the gym because it’s not my “home gym” and apparently shows my membership is cancelled but if you go on my account online it clearly shows my home gym is this one. Great service. EDIT: I just got a check in notification when I got home and got 1 point. What a joke 🤣

Raised the price of their day pass from $10 to $20…which is the price for a month of membership! Equipment is not nice enough for that. Everything is old, yoga mats are falling apart, etc. I used to come every so often when I visit my family but at that price I won’t be returning.
