Working with Ave has completely transformed my overall fitness on every level. He has elevated my physical conditioning, core strength, flexibility, explosiveness, breath-work, and overall functional mobility…while also sharpening my awareness of my body and dramatically improving my fitness IQ.

Since I've been training with Ave, I can confidently say I’m in the best shape of my life, even compared to my 20s and 30s. ABC helped correct years of misguided training methods and misinformation, and he did so with patience, expertise, and a meticulous eye for detail.

What sets him apart is his presence and commitment: he is fully engaged, attentive, and intentional in every session. He plans strategically, monitors my progress diligently, and prioritizes injury prevention without ever compromising growth or performance.

I highly recommend Ave to anyone serious about their health, longevity, and peak performance.

I recently celebrated one year of working with Coach Esther. When we first began, I could barely manage two pushups. To say I was discouraged is quite the understatement. Thankfully, Coach Esther believed in me more than I believed in myself. She is a demanding coach, and gives no quarter. Going through the motions is not allowed. Now I can rep out thirty pushups and hold a plank for four minutes. Did I mention that I just turned seventy years old? Bless you Coach Esther and Retro Fitness Fort Lee. Join this gym!

I have been working out at this gym for roughly three months now.

My personal trainer, Kyle, has been helping me to keep pushing myself to the limit. I am noticing changes and results are astonishing. I recommend Kyle whether you are looking for someone who will get you to your physical goal or even just someone to help you learn exercises - he is a very chill guy 👍💪

Staff and coaches are friendly and willing to give advice, the atmosphere at the gym is great because you notice motivations of others that cheers you to get stronger, and protein shakes at smoothy bar are great. This gym operation hours is also a big plus to me because I have seen gym that opens later and closes earlier. Overall, finest place to workout in Fort Lee and Bergen.

Coach Kyle has been absolutely amazing trainer to me. Every session is challenging and tailored to my goals. He has an incredible ability to explain techniques clearly, correct form with patience, and keep workouts both fun and effective. From almost fainting with simple squat at my first session to squats with 8kg/12kg weight 2 months later, I’ve noticed improvements in my strength, energy, and confidence since working together. Beyond the physical results, his positivity and encouragement make me actually look forward to training. Truly one of the best investments I’ve made for my health and fitness!

Went there for a 3 day pass a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing, gym is very cleaned, the people at the front desk are not only respectful but they are also kind and funny. While on my 3 day I was struggling with my bicep curl and one of the Physical trainers Named Ave saw me struggling came over and showed me an easier way to do it and now its part of my workout routine. If i didn't move away i would defintely be a member at this gym so shoutout to Retro and a huge shoutout to Ave

As a client who’s considered everything in the books to unnaturally lose weight and fit society’s standards of a healthy body, when everything wasn’t working out for me my final resort was to get a personal trainer. That’s when I met Kyle (personal trainer at Retro Fitness) who helped me change my fitness journey into the right direction. From day 1 he’s been an awesome trainer! His constant encouragement, his commitment, dedication and patience with me allowed me to have the support I needed to remold my perception of what attaining fitness the HEALTHY way is. I’ve never felt so strong and confident in myself all thanks to Kyle’s help! (& I have a long way to go still) Sure it may be expensive, but can you really put a price on long term health, confidence, and a high self esteem? - results that last!

Retro Fitness has stood out to me as a gym, with several features that other typical gyms don’t have - such as a smoothie bar, massage chair, classes etc. I’ve tried four gyms & nothing has compared to this gym… from the friendly staff, cleanliness, variety of equipment, spacious parking lot & affordable membership, Retro is the way to go!

I have been working out at this gym for about a year. Recently I have been training with Chiara. She has been an amazing trainer, and I have learned so much from her. She is really patient with me and I really appreciate that in a trainer. She understood my strengths and weaknesses and pushed me to go further than I thought. I really appreciated her support.

I started personal training in Retro one month ago. The coach Kyle is an excellent trainer filled with knowledge and clear guidance.

Chiara is a great trainer. Flexibility has improved and joint pains have gone away as I’ve been stretching a lot more effectively. She’s informative and makes you feel comfortable. Good communication, always on time, and very kind.

Sun is friendly and informative. I’d recommend getting the intro session for nutrition + general fitness evaluation. He recommended I see the trainer at the gym and the prices were reasonable.

Parking is good and there are always empty spots from my experience.

5 stars! If I had to think of some downsides: there are some pigeons and accumulated pigeon poop in the garage. Mondays are super busy.

I just signed up for my second year with Coach Esther - once a week. I admit personal training was a bit daunting for me at first but recommended by my doctor for my health. Day one, she pushed me but learned to understand my struggles with strength training and found the right balance to be encouraging with just the right amount of challenge. She will push you beyond your comfort zone while still making workouts enjoyable. She’s a great resource for knowledge and nutrition. I look forward to every session with her.

I can’t recommend enough getting yourself a personal trainer and if at Retorfitness in Fort Lee, highly recommend Coach Esther.

Esther is an amazing coach. She customizes your program plan with great dedication.
She empowers you and encourages you to keep moving forward in order to reach your goals. It’s not about rushing to the finish line, but about achieving progress day by day.
She is very dedicated and, at the same time, highly focused. I strongly recommend her — she’s a 5-star coach!

I have been going to Retro Fitness in Fort Lee for quite a few years now, and for the last year I have been training with Valerie who is AMAZING. I had a friend with a bad knee who wants to get moving again, and after seeing Valerie working with others and finding out that she has a specific background and training in physical therapy to really know how to work safely with you, I recommended my friend, try her. She made so much improvement and raved about her so much, that when I wanted to get more serious But protect my shoulder and knee, which bother me, I too signed up with Valerie. I could not be happier. She is very careful and very attentive. She focuses closely on form I will stop and lighten the weights immediately if she sees any struggling to keep proper form. She is so positive and uplifting. I'm never afraid to admit. I've had a bad week food wise and she always makes me want to get back in the saddle again. I also saw the results in my muscles after only a month or so. I can't say enough positive things about her. And she is not the only one. All of the trainers who run the classes are very good. The classes are fun and as challenging as you want them to be or easy as you need them to be. There is no shame here.

I have been a member of Retro Fitness Fort Lee almost since it opened and it’s like my home away from home, because it has been consistently professionally run, impeccably clean, and offers a terrific, lowkey environment with an impressive variety of state-of-the-art fitness equipment and free weights. Members are from diverse backgrounds, with different levels of physical fitness, and are very cordial and cooperative. Location is very safe and with ample parking. Costs are very sensible. And, the results show for me in a recent medical exam: Optimal weight and BMI, and low visceral fat (internal fat), and healthy blood pressure, etc. Become a member of Retro Fitness Fort Lee—You’ll thank me!

I can’t say enough good things about Retro Fort Lee and especially Coach Kyle! Before I started training here, I used to feel really anxious about working out — I didn’t know what to do in the gym and always felt intimidated. But Coach Kyle made all the difference. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping you get stronger and more confident.

After training consistently for a while, I not only feel physically better, but also way more confident in myself. I actually look forward to workouts now because I know I’ll leave feeling accomplished and energized. The atmosphere at Retro Fort Lee is welcoming and supportive — it’s a great place to build healthy habits.

I signed up without much hesitation because it said I could get a full refund if I canceled within 7 days of becoming a member. But then I was told the refund is only available if canceled within 3 days. They also said I’d get a $25 credit within two weeks after a consultation, but now they’re saying it’ll be applied in the next billing cycle. They keep changing their story and hiding their policies
this is seriously the worst kind of shady behavior. The manager is trash, and I think this company is a complete scam. You just lost a potential lifelong customer over a few bucks.

I've been going to Retro in Fort Lee for about 4 months. The gym has a big range of equipment and plenty of space for workouts. The staff and trainers are very friendly and considerate of the clients. I've been guided by Chiara, a personal trainer, who is very knowledgeable and always on top of everything. Most of the activities have been strength training, which, surprisingly, has visibly improved my strength in the upper and lower body after just a few times. I'm pretty sure that more progress can be made if I increase the frequency to twice a week instead of once a week. I've been too busy to make that kind of effort so far. I'm pretty confident that I'm on the right track.

When I first started my weight loss journey, the thing that stressed me out the most was whether or not I would stick to it. I've always been overweight and to be honest I didn't really believe anything would really happen. I signed up for a trainer assuming that eventually I'd get exhausted and give up on myself. And I almost did. My trainer Ave told me something just a few weeks in, that strength isn't just physical, it's mental too. That's something I've remembered on the days I didn't feel like going to the gym. You need mental fortitude to grow strong, and the staff at this Retro Fitness seem to understand that. I am always greeted with a smile, I can always come to staff for help or advice, and I always leave feeling glad I came. I would recommend anybody thinking about going on a weight loss journey to consider starting here, at this location. Shout out to Ave for always keeping me motivated and helping me lose almost 40 pounds so far. Good luck on your journey guys! Don't give up!

I've trained with Kyle for nearly a year, and it's been so fun! Though I've worked with multiple personal trainers before, Kyle is hands-down the best. Under his guidance, I've achieved my muscle-gaining goals while improving both physically and mentally. His attention to proper form is exceptional, and he excels at creating workout routines that are both simple and effective—making it easy for me to train independently. Kyle knows exactly how much to push me during sessions, and his upbeat personality makes every workout enjoyable.

I’ve been a loyal member of Retro Fitness for some time, primarily attending their classes, and while I’ve had a generally positive experience with the instructors and the overall atmosphere, there are a few aspects that I believe could use significant improvement.

1. Strict Punctuality Policy
One of the most frustrating aspects is the gym’s rigid punctuality policy. I understand the importance of starting classes on time, but a small grace period—perhaps 5 minutes—would go a long way in improving member satisfaction. I was once just 2 minutes late and was not allowed to join the class, which felt a bit unreasonable, especially when other gyms in the area offer more flexibility. When I raised this concern with the general manager, I was met with a response that primarily focused on the idea of preventing injury due to not warming up properly. However, in practice, I’ve noticed that warm-ups generally don’t begin right at the class start time. A more flexible approach would help accommodate members who run into small delays while still maintaining a safe and structured environment.

2. Worn and Unsafe Mats
Another issue I’ve encountered is the condition of the mats in the gym. Many of them are worn, torn, and no longer safe or comfortable to use. For a gym that prides itself on providing a quality workout environment, it’s crucial to ensure that all equipment, especially the mats, are in good condition to prevent injury and discomfort. This is something that should be addressed immediately, as it directly impacts the safety and experience of members.

3. Insufficient Equipment for Class Size
Lastly, the availability of equipment in some classes is a recurring concern. On several occasions, I’ve found myself in classes with 15-20 participants, yet there simply aren’t enough pieces of equipment for everyone. This can lead to members having to improvise or, in some cases, skip exercises, which isn’t ideal for getting the full benefit of a workout. To better serve the needs of the classes, I recommend adding more equipment or adjusting class sizes to ensure that everyone has access to the necessary tools for a complete and effective workout.

While Retro Fitness offers great instructors and a positive overall atmosphere, these issues have occasionally detracted from my experience. I truly hope the management takes these concerns seriously and works toward making these improvements. I believe that with some adjustments, Retro Fitness could provide an even better and more enjoyable environment for its members.

My experience at Retro in Fort Lee has been wonderful so far. I began taking classes with Esther in October, and quickly found that she is everything you need in a personal/group trainer! Patient, motivating and energetic! Since then, I have began working out on my own. Branching off has been a smooth transition because of how helpful she has been. Along with Esther’s input, the other members are willing to help. It’s a nice sense of community and I really appreciate the support. Plenty of machines make it easy to get your work out in, at anytime of the day. The facility is kept clean and it helps to know that if I needed to shower and head to work, I could do so there, without being skeeved out.

10/10 would recommend.

Valerie is an absolutely incredible personal trainer at Retro Fitness in Fort Lee! I've been working with her for a while and the results have been phenomenal. She's not only knowledgeable and motivating, but she genuinely cares about her clients' progress.

Valerie's expertise shines through in her customized workouts. She's helped me improve my form on everything from deadlifts and squats to more targeted core exercises. She always pushes me to challenge myself, while ensuring I maintain proper technique to prevent injuries. If you're looking for a trainer who will truly help you reach your fitness goals, Valerie is the one! Highly recommend!

Retro Fitness Fort Lee is a well-organized and maintained gym, always clean and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the Director of Fitness, Sun, is both professional and approachable. Plus, their protein shakes are delicious!

A special shoutout to my coach, Chiara, who has been absolutely amazing. Her expertise, motivation, and personalized approach have made a significant difference in my fitness journey. She helps me focus on my movements and pushes me to my limits to reach my goals. Chiara also checks in with me after each session to see how my muscles feel, showing her patience and care.

Retro provides the best service. A gym is not about how much you pay - just because it's affordable doesn't mean it's not a good gym or that only budget conscious go there. In fact, I've met a lot of my friends and people who are executives at big companies at Retro. It's the convenience and the high-quality service you experience that matters, and Retro provides a world-class level of service to all their members, especially at the Fort Lee location.

Update January 2025:

I want to review the coaching and receptiveness to feedback of this gym.

First coaching: about a year ago, I signed up for coaching and shared my goal to powerlift. I was paired with a fantastic coach named Renaldo. Through our sessions and his detailed coaching/programming, I have made tremendous strength gains. I even competitively powerlift now! I am in training for my second competition and I keep growing stronger with Renaldo.

Renaldo provides clear in the moment feedback to improve the strength and safe execution of each lift. He takes thorough observations of my sessions with him and reviews my recorded lifts to create personalized programming for me. We maintain communication throughout the week around my training and he adjusts programming as needed. As a result of his training, I have hit numerous PRs that I didn't think were possible for me in just a year! In terms of competitions, the coaches do attend the competition with you and you pay whatever competition needed for that to the comp's organization. His coaching is also personalized as he not only tailors his communication style to encourage me to do better but also strives to have a good professional relationship with me.

The other trainers are friendly and personable. Val, Esther, Abe, Tyler, Sun (Director of Fitness) and others always say hello and ask how my lifting is coming along or how my comp. prep is doing. They are all accessible and open to answering any training questions one might have while working and not with another client.

Secondly, incorporation of feedback: I, along with other powerlifters, requested another powerbar for use and we got it (thank you!!!!). In the case of powerlifters, having another bar allows us to make use of comp. equipment we need during training. When I have brought up others pieces of feedback, Dave and his team are responsive.

I highly recommend folks consider the training program for your fitness goals as the team works hard to make their programming achieve results you want.

Prior Review

Dave and his team keep the gym in great order. It's clean, the staff is friendly, and their powerlifting program is great. The training I have received is results driven and really impactful. I've gone up in all my PRs since joining the the gym as a client. Even if you don't join personal training, the gym has everything you need to start (or continue) your fitness journey.

I also want to point out Dave and his team are great with customer service. Whenever you have a need or concern, they are quick to respond. I recently asked for some order receipts and received them via email really quick!

My only suggestion is to hype up the fitness classes more on social media and offer more options. I want to explore other ways to be active and would enjoy more yoga/cycling classes throughout the week.

Great gym with friendly and helpful staff. The community here is so supportive. Everyone re-racks their weights and keeps the place clean, and the staff tries their best to enforce good gym etiquette. They have a decent amount of powerlifting equipment for a commercial gym that only charges $30-40 a month. Their fitness director Sun and his PT department are such high quality coaches and trainers, you'll be surprised that they work at a commercial gym and not a higher end barbell club.

I just became a member of Retro Fitness Fort Lee, having not been a fitness center member for about 10 years. I genuinely think it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. On my first visit, I was immediately extremely impressed, and, with very sensible membership costs that are a small fraction of Manhattan costs and very flexible hours (4:30 am-12 am weekdays), I concluded it’s a no-brainer to join Retro Fitness Fort Lee. What I particularly appreciate was the low-key, low pressure, transparent membership process. This was a very refreshing change from the high-pressure, car dealership-like tactics of other places that, frankly, had been a factor in not having been a fitness club member for many years. As for the center, Retro Fitness Fort Lee is really quite mesmerizing! Brand new, beautiful, 20,000 square feet of awesomeness! A dizzying array of state-of-the-art fitness machines, free weights and advanced technology. Spotlessly clean, well-organized, very friendly and professional, non-snobby staff, including the owner who is on the premises—I think this is a major advantage over other fitness centers that are parts of large chains. This place is individually owned. Great, healthy way to start the new year!

It's so hard for me to lose weight due to my love of fatty food.. 6 months ago, I started this gym, I was at the ultimate biggest weight of my lifetime. I came to this gym super depressed thinking it was going to be another typical average gym where every month I'll be charged and stay the same unhealthy and fat. Let me tell you, this gym is different. The first week I signed up, the front desk was so friendly and helped me with setting an appointment with Sun, the nutrient consultant & director of fitness. Sun asked lots of questions about your general health to provide a deep understanding of your presenting issues. He recommends Kyle as my personal trainer due to my hectic hours, which Kyle is always flexible and able to work with me with scheduling. He is such a great trainer and is passionate and patient! He supports me so much to stay motivated and committed. Ex: i'm getting messages from him every day and reminders to help me be aware to send him pics of my food so I can stay on track, knowing I love to drink cocktails and fried food. So far, Im so happy with my results, I feel so much better, looking better, and especially feeling healthier! Can't wait to hit my goal by the end of the year, and with Kyle PT pushing me thru and all the staff members at Retro, I know I will. I also want to mention the instructors from the classes and how supportive we all are. This fitness is like a little family.

Started my weight loss journey with Retro Fitness and my personal trainer Esther about 3 months ago. I cannot emphasize more how amazing it's been so far! Never had I ever known in 30 years of my life that I would truly enjoy working out AND make progress- all thanks to Esther and Sun!

I am so happy to have Esther as my personal trainer. She knows when to push me, but at the same time I feel very safe working out with her guidance. I still have a long way to go but she gives me so much confidence to not give up :)
Nutritionist Sun is also very competent and he actually taught me in detail how to change my diet for LIFE.

I am glad I chose Retro Fitness and will continue my weight loss journey here :)

Do not register here! Although I only attended for a month, they charged me an extra $40-60 annual cleaning fee, which they don't refund and don't inform you about upfront. Why should I pay an annual cleaning fee for a place I used for just one month? I canceled my membership, and if I hadn't, they would probably have come up with many other charges later. The equipment is old and definitely won't make you happy. Look for another gym.

I wouldn't recommend this gym. My brother and I signed up and could only attend regularly for one month. When we tried to cancel later, they insisted we come in person to sign a form, which we did, but not immediately. Despite attending for less than two months, they charged us $62.91 as an annual fee. When I called to cancel over the phone, they said it was impossible, stating, "We can't refund you the $62 because you should have informed us earlier." We did call earlier, but because we were late in signing the form, they charged us this amount. Additionally, each visit ended with a massage. By the third week, they checked if our package included a massage, which was an unnecessary and frustrating process that left us feeling disrespected. Overall, their unprofessional behavior was evident.

There are no dehumidifiers in their dingy basement gym. AC doesn't get turned on if you go too early in the morning with less traffic. Pricier than other Retro locations when you can purchase Ultimate Membership at a different location such as Hackensack for $5 less, and still attend this one. Don't make the same financial mistakes I did. Don't request for more than one session of those aqua bed massagers when Dave the owner is there. He will glare at you for wasting his money. Lastly, pay with AMEX with a yearly fee, because disputes are easier. However, be mindful that you will get harassed. You can report such unlawful practices with FDIC for consumer protections.

I cannot recommend Retro Fitness in Fort Lee highly enough!

From the moment I stepped through the doors, my experience was outstanding. I was greeted immediately and pleasantly by the front desk staff (who were not too busy playing on their phones, like I have seen elsewhere).

The facilities are top notch, well maintained and the CLEANEST gym that I ever been in. The staff and members all contribute to a welcoming and motivating atmosphere.

What truly sets Retro Fitness in Fort Lee apart, though, is their exceptional team of personal trainers. These individuals are not just knowledgeable about fitness; they are passionate about helping you achieve your goals. They do a great job of pairing each client with the perfect trainer for their needs. Both my son and I work with trainers and we were paired up with the perfect trainers and I can say for myself, I'm now in the best shape of my life.

I've been going to Retro in Fort Lee for over 2.5 years. Sun, the fitness director, and the rest of the staff have always been friendly, helpful, and supportive. I love that the management is receptive to member feedback and actually follows up on it. Over the years, they've improved the gym layout and added new equipment in response to members' feedback, including mine.

The gym and equipment are consistently kept clean, organized, and in good condition. Members are also held accountable for helping to keep them that way. The same can't be said of many other gyms or even other Retro locations. It does get busy at times, and there will be occasional members who don't have the best gym etiquette. But it's never unbearable, and the staff are always willing to help or address any issues if needed.

I've gotten to know some of the trainers and other regulars, and I appreciate the atmosphere and culture here. Especially as a young woman, I feel lucky to have found a gym where I can work out while also feeling safe and comfortable.

I went to this gym to try it out and was told I can’t return. After about 1.5hrs of working out at this gym, I went into the weight room to military press. I took my shirt off and as soon as I did, the trainer I’ve attached a photo of named kyle asked me if I could put my shirt on. At first I thought he was joking to be friendly and but he was being serious. I was surprised so I asked him why we need a shirt on since it’s a gym and his response was "dude it’s retro fitness”. So even though I didn’t agree with him, I started walking back towards my shirt to get it when a random guy turned around and said "he would really appreciate it and that it would make him feel a lot better if I put a shirt on. So I stopped to respond to what he said and told him "if he feels that way, those are his own insecurities”. He responded by saying "you know what, you’re right”. At that point, the other trainer pictured (renaldo) rudely jumped in and aggressively said "if you don’t put you’re shirt on, I’m going to have you removed from the gym”. At that point I told him I was on the way to get my shirt and the insecure man interrupted me and now you’re starting a conversation, which is why I haven’t made it to the shirt yet. Am I supposed to ignore these people or treat them with respect and stop when they’re talking to me? renaldo wasn’t even wearing a trainer shirt at that point, he was wearing a tank top and tries to jumped in and make himself feel big inside and act like a complete hypocrite. I told kyle and renaldo that there are pictures of them flexing SHIRTLESS posted in the gym and they are threatening to kick me out because I took my shirt off? They both said "that’s only a picture”. Who in their right mind tries to justify something like this? These guys are literally trainers at this gym, gloating in their SHIRTLESS pics, everyone sees them flexing and here they are trying to kick a guy out of the gym who is minding his own business trying to military press with headphones on. I put the shirt on and they both went about their business. I was at the gym for a couple more hours after that, during which renaldo kept chatting with different people and kept looking over at me with the people he was chatting with and smiling and laughing because was telling them all about what happened. So this guy renaldo threatens to kick me out over a shirt because it makes people feel "uncomfortable” yet he goes out to different groups of people and talks smack about me and continues to turn around with these people and tries to make me feel uncomfortable. What an absolute hypocrite and low life to do this. As I’m leaving the gym, the employee in the front stops me and says "you can no longer return to this gym”. I asked him "do you even know what happened and how wrong it is to kick someone of a gym based on one hypocrites attitude”? I showed him the photos of the guys shirtless and brought him over to renaldo to ask renaldo why he felt the need to do all this and he said because it’s not gonna affect me if I just put a shirt on to make strangers feel better. Again, what a hypocrite. With that logic he should tell himself that it’s not going to affect insecure strangers either if someone has their shirt off and if it does, they should seek help. What a society this is where people are shamed and kicked out of gyms for not wanting to wear a shirt to make insecure people more comfortable. Then again, these gyms know this and condone it to create an artificial safe space for the insecure. Instead of having people strengthen themselves mentally while they do physically as well they would rather do contradictory things like this and literally treat others the way they don’t want to be treated. THE PHOTOS OF THE TRAINERS SHIRTLESS IS POSTED IN THIS REVIEW. THIS IS THE ACTUAL PHOTO IN THE GYM. PUT A SHIRT ON GUYS. ESPECIALLY kyle and renaldo, YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL INSECURE AND CONTRADICT YOURSELVES.

I have been enjoying the facilities at the Fort Lee location for 1 month now, it is fantastic spot with lots of exercise equipment, and very clean. I absolutely love my trainer Esther Oh, who pushes without breaking me! She is very encouraging and a great choice for a beginner like me. I already feel myself getting stronger:)

This place is a great gym; clean and spacious with everything I need. I highly recommend the trainers here as well, especially my own trainer Esther Oh. She kicks my *** (but not unreasonably so) and I've definitely been seeing/feeling the GAINS.
