The best retro I've been to New Jersey. Its clean and staff very welcoming they support small businesses so if you have a business they have a board to hang your flyers and business cards on. They're drinks are not overly expensive. If you're in the area come and stop by

Is a good value gym. People that go here are very respectful and the mornings are quite. I rated 4 stars because some of the staff sit on the food/drink prep table with their shoes on it playing on their phones. I would have bought a smoothie but doesn't seem too sanitary and the guy didn't seem like he wanted to be bothered.

I’ve been going to this location for 2 years. My home gym is Manahawkin, NJ. I forgot my key card today and the kid at the front (who sees me every Saturday and Sunday for the last two years) would not let me in without a $15 fee as a drop in and couldn’t look me up because it wasn’t my home gym. I buy a $7 a shake every single time also…for the last 2 years. As an IFBB professional bodybuilder and a consistent customer, I expected a bit more grace, understand and leeway. I’ll go to another location near by from now on.

I've been going to this location consistently for 5 months now and have nothing but good things to say. The gym and equipment are kept in great shape, with regularly scheduled cleanings. There is a large variety of equipment so there are rarely wait times even during busy periods. The staff is very friendly and helpful if there's anything you need.

Personal training sessions with Liv were always amazing. Workouts were always very intense and efficient; making sure her clients get the best experience and attention for their time. Liv also teaches classes at this location which everyone should take advantage of!

really enjoy working out at Retro Fitness in Lincroft. The staff is friendly and helpful, there is a great variety of equipment, and there is a high level of equipment availability at the time I usually go (early morning). My only suggestion is to leave a little more space between machines. For bigger guys like me, squeezing through to use some machines can be a bit difficult. Overall, however, I always leave feeling I had a great workout experience and am ready to start my day feeling great physically and mentally!

I travel a lot with work so I am constantly working out at different retros throughout the state. Retro Lincroft has hands down blown all the others out of the water. Saying that the staff is professional, friendly, and goes above and beyond is an understatement. The staff is on top of everything including the cleaning of the machines and making sure everybody is wearing their mask properly. Me, my father, and my fiancé feel safer at the gym than we do at any store. I have been working out since my teen ages and now being 35 I go out of my way to make sure I make it to the Lincroft location. One of the best gyms and Experiences for anyone looking to get their sweat on.

Good place especially for its price. Basically has any equipment you need or expect in a gym. Clean. When equipment does break (as can happen in any gym) it's repaired in a reasonable amount of time.

Went 9/1 on re-opening day. Cleaning supplies were abundant along with a full-time cleaning person in the gym. Gym monitors capacity through check in/out process via membership card. People were wearing masks and wiping down equipment after use. Check in process was a little clunky with the QR code scan, barcode scan, temperature check and questionnaire but if it keeps the gym open it’s worth it.

Equipment - 7/10
Layout - 7/10
Size - 8/10
Cleanliness - 7/10
Staff - 10/10
Crowd - 8/10
Price - 10/10

I've worked at several gyms and worked out at even more for the past 15 years. This is a good gym for the price you're paying. It has everything most people will need to make progress and get their workouts done. Good environment, great staff, laid back crowd. Overall I really have no complaints for a $20/mo pricepoint. But if you want details, feel free to peruse below.

Equipment 7/10
Essentially they have everything I need to get things done. Two stairmasters as well as a couple ergs too which is nice. Two squat racks, plenty of benches, good selection of dumbbells. They have a landmine press which instantly gets them cool points. No deadlift platform or bumper plates. No mat or turf area. Could use a few more Olympic bars on the weight floor, a trap bar, and the plates really need a cleaning on their center hole threading. Putting them on and pulling them off the weight trees/bars is like pulling teeth.

Layout 7/10
Did a good job with the limited space they had. Not too cramped like some smaller gyms feel (trying to cram every possibly piece of equipment in making the place a death trap) but still managing to get pretty much everything you could need. The dumbbell area is fantastic, plenty of room and benches, one of the better ones I've seen at a Retro location. Lighting creating some dark corners and the men's locker room are concerning though. The ab-centric machine room is in need of a remodeling. Very dark and not getting a lot of love maintenance wise.

Size 8/10
Not a big gym but not small either. Good medium size with stuff spaced out pretty well. Auxiliary classroom off to the side as well is nice. Nice and airy with plenty of space to move around in. Very few spots where you're turning sideways to get around people/machines.

Cleanliness 7/10
The weight floor has gotten a lot better since I started going. However, the men's locker room at times is still a disaster zone. It's also small, dark, and often times something is broke in there whether it be a urinal, toilet, lockers hanging off hinges, or the sink. Don't know if this is members abusing the facility or lack of cleaning crew or a bit of both. I usually change at the office to avoid using it

Staff 10/10
Staff is generally friendly and helpful. Most seem very laid back and genuine. Valerie the manager is fantastic with any questions or accommodations. Took care of all issues I had immediately. Damn good customer service.

Crowd 8/10
Most everyone is doing their own thing keeping to themselves. No big crowds coming in together. Worst offenders are the young guys taking 30 minutes on a squat rack or sitting on a machine with their faces in their phone oblivious to others waiting. Usually remedied quickly by asking to work in with them.

Price 10/10
$20 a month is the cheapest I have ever paid for a gym membership and I am getting everything I need here except a dry sauna. Cant beat it.

I would recommend this Retro Fitness to everyone I know based on the fact that Caryn Laferlita is the best fitness instructor I have ever had the pleasure to know. She has taught me so much about health fitness and life in general. She will modify her instruction for members who have physical limitations. She is worth getting off a warm cozy couch and venturing out into the cold dark night to her fitness classes. My daughter, Deirdre has now joined me in all of Caryn's classes because according to my daughter, "She is worth the commute!" Veronica Hofman

I asked them ( all the staff including the manager ) PLEASE fix this water Drinking Fountain we cannot do any work out, they don't care!!! They only care that you pay the money and they do nothing for you!
Very bad manager !
I been with retro fitness more than 4 years it's a shame!

Aug/2018

Tonight after waiting 5 months ask several times from Manager, Staff, etc to take care of this place just because it was close to my house and I didn't want to change my gym I canceled my member.

When I start the price in this gym was higher than the other competition gym plus the ANNUAL FEE, which I didn't care because gym was always clean and good and it was close to my house.

But last year this gym start to go down and it was so bad for me and for Retro too.

Then I tried many times talk to all the staff to take care of this place because I really liked it.

But unfortunately nothing get done and more issue was adding up in the gym everyday such as no paper towels available in the gym, I have to go and ask for, most of the time not even randomly happened. Stretch room not good to use SO COLD. TVs stop working. No shampoo. and today NO WiFi !!!

I used to recommend this place 2 years ago to all my friend and family NOT ANY MORE.

I canceled my membership.

Nice enough people, but gym is not well maintained at all. Machines are filthy w/ sweat stains, which I guess could be blamed on members to a degree, but then again its not new grime, it entrenched. However , I don't recall seeing wipes around . The paint in the stretching room is peeling off the walls and the mats are torn and dirty. Bathroom/locker room not clean. Overall, a grimy feeling place, and I'm by no means a clean freak. I joined Lincroft cause its on my way home from work , but fortunately realized I have a Retro closer to my home in Freehold. Night and day, absolutely sparkles. Thank goodness I found you Freehold

Staff very nice... Gym clean.. My issue was most of the members i worked out near never heard of personal space or gym ettique. Its a small gym yet some members had to grab the same dumbells every 30 seconds after finishing one set.. Take the dumbells to your bench and keep them there until you are done. They do 1 set return them walk around for 20 to 30 seconds then grab the same pair. Its like im taking crazy pills. Maybe watch some youtube videos on personal gym ettique. Horrible... I know you think you can do what you want because you have lots of money but thats not how it works.

The Club does not provide hand sanitizer dispensers, nor antibacterial wipe dispensers. The temperature in the facility is always hot and it's a breeding ground for germs. Members that sweat fail to wipe down machines. Towels are not provided so this is an issue when sweaty members use machines without them. If we were provided with antibacterial wipes, I believe more members would be mindful of wiping down equipment after use if towel service is not provided. Hand sanitizer and wipes is a MUST. May be a thought going forward for the new year.

Visited another retro location the same day before signing up with this one, and have been to numerous other retro locations in the years past, but this one is the cleanest, friendliest, and has the nicest staff. I live closer to 2 other retros but would gladly take the drive to this one.

This gym is well maintained except for some of the lockers in the men's changing room.

Music isn't too loud so you wont have to use noise isolating earbuds or noise canceling headphones to hear your own music.

The machines are very close to each other and I like it that way. There's only one good squat rack and it's usually taken. There's another one on the other side but it doesn't have safety bars to stop the bar from wrecking you if you fail your squat.

The workers there are all very classy and up beat people. Wonder if that's a retro rule that they have to smile or if they only hire good looking happy people.

The dumbbells are plenty and clean. The benches are colorful and sturdy. I didn't like the color scheme of retro at first but now it's grown on me. Although I do have the urge to eat at McDonalds after every work out.

There are lots of treadmills and cardio machines if that's your jam. I think there's a bounce to the treadmills too which makes it easier on the knees but feels weird running on it at first.

Now on to the topic of the fitness elites. There are some very strong people here but they're all friendly. There's this one girl who squats 135lb like it's a backpack and guys who max out the leg machines. No body grunts loudly but you might get the occasional "hurhhh" if they're really pushing themselves. Everyone has headphones/earbuds playing their favorite jams so you can "hurhhhh" away all you want.

Sometimes people bring their own bounce weights and start doing power cleans. This gym would be perfect if they removed the half squat rack in the corner and replaced it with an olympic lifting setup.

Anyways great gym. Writing this so my sister doesn't go to WoW, which is farther away.
