Retro Fitness

The gym is cool. Its busy during the normal times you would expect. The parking is horrendous in the area unfortunately. The gym facility itself is pretty great though not that big. Still one of my favorite fitness locations regardless.

It’s absolutely unacceptable that there’s only one person handling the entire front end during the busiest time of the evening shift. The gym is packed, yet you’re clearly cutting corners, leaving one staff member overwhelmed just to save a few bucks and pad the owner’s pocket. This is blatant corporate greed at the expense of your employees and the community paying over $25 a month for your services. You’re overworking staff, providing subpar service, and showing complete disregard for both your workers’ well-being and your customers’ experience. If this continues, don’t be surprised when people start canceling memberships and calling out your exploitative practices publicly. Step up, hire adequate staff for shifts, and show some respect to the people who make your business possible. Do better before it’s too late.

This is the worst gym I’ve ever been to. It is very small and always packed. Since it’s small and packed, that means limited equipment. I got no peace of mind when I come work out here. Save yourself the trouble and find a better gym. I wish I could give this place negative stars. Also, the gym sends updates on instagram instead of emails. Not everyone likes to use social media, communication should be made in multiple ways, not just resorted to social media. Also, some of the staff there are rude. The atmosphere and culture is also terrible.

I walked into the gym and saw blood in the bathroom sink and napkins from someone who had a nosebleed. I told the front desk, and they said nothing could be done until the cleaning team came at 12 PM (it was 10:30 AM). That’s unacceptable - blood is a biohazard and should be cleaned immediately for everyone’s safety.

Recently relocated to queens and was so happy to see it has a retro fitness near my new place. What I walked into was nothing compared to all the retro fitness clubs I've been to. Re-rack policy is non existent, the barbells and equipment are screaming to be replaced. Some of the pull down bars and equipment is kept on a side wall that looks like it's seen better days. On another note the floor is literally tearing apart, in some parts of the gym. I saw a young guy doing dead lifts in the middle of the gym, away from the dead lift pads. No other gym would have allowed that to happened, it's just damaging the floors even more and the equipment. If corporate is reading this, please let us know where the " yearly annual fees for club improvements go?" If you ever want to see what a severely neglected gym looks like, just come to this one.
