They need to hire professional adults to work at this location.

I purchased a Fitness Pass from my employer which gives me access to 10,000+ around the country, a program Retro Fitness is def a part of. I went to sign up at this location and the person working the front desk had an attitude as if I was disturbing them to sign up for a benefit that is honored there. I was met with short responses and no help when I showed my Fitness Pass benefit card. The person even called the manager and said “She said she had access to 10,000 gyms or something???” as if I would make that up. Super unprofessional tone of voice. For context: Gyms have access to these internal portals such as Tivity Health or Prime to accommodate people like this.

Even after being told this with my employer representative on the phone, the person at the front desk still was unable to help me telling me that I need to leave my name, birthday and email address on a random notepad in the office.

I’ve never been asked to do this when using this service. (That information is given when registering for the Fitness Pass, which could be seen had the front desk person accessed the system.) I expressed to the front desk person Jordan that I’m uncomfortable with that and in between texts to a “manager,” they said that the current manager “doesn’t know what he’s doing,” and apparently hired another manager who is offsite and doesn’t come into that location. I’m not even sure if this mystery manager is actually employed by Retro Fitness or doing a favor for the other no-show manager. I asked if they left credentials with them since Jordan is working alone, to which I was told no, which is also unusual. If a person is working the front desk, they should be able to access those internal systems without waiting for someone to text them back. This isn’t a mom and pop gym.

I was told a real manager would call me back. I’m not sure if one exists, I never received a call. Very frustrated and disappointed at the lack of customer service I received. I was very excited to begin my fitness journey here, esp since the classes were exactly what I was looking for. This location is very unprofessional and unhelpful.

Hey, Retro Fitness you are a great gym BUT, paying 41.00 a month I want to see new bikes for the spin class. The bikes are breaking down, I was on a bike weeks ago and the seat fell down when I was on the bike in class. The straps become loose after you put your foot in them after you adjust the straps. For 41 dollars I want to see new bikes, Also there needs to be more bikes other than 13 bikes. Please Retro Fitness do better, so you can meet the needs of people in this spin class. WE NEED NEW BIKES, Don't be cheap, I know you got the money to get new bikes.

This gym is good for membership ONLY

Clean is a far reach- it’s alright but bring your own wipes, some machines have wear & tear on them, they must’ve been giving out monthly free membership for these “clean reviews”

Beware of their so called “promos” or “deal packages” just get your base plan workout monthly bill, workout & get out.
They have a few, a very few(2-3)good personal trainers but you’re better off hiring your own and paying them directly than doing it through the gym. When they want to reach their end of the month quota in order to look good for the hire ups, they’ll try to hustle you for that money. Benjamin(gym manager) is full of excuses and hiding to let people do the dirty work for him.

Great machines but needs to be throughly steamed & sanitized and upgraded.

I love the gym. But I don't like how they rearranged the machines recently. A few people are complaining that they made it worse. • The seated military press bench should be put back to where it normally was. This is a lot of empty space that is not being utilized. The only thing there is the bicep bench. • The seated military press bench and the two flat bench press are so close to each other that you can not utilize all the pegs to put your weights back. The employees preach to the customers to put their weights back, but when the pegs are so close to each other in this particular instance, it's physically impossible to put your weights back further leading to a disorganized gym. • The Dumbell area, with the 3 Adjustable benches is toooo congested because of the seated military press bench. I am all for improvement and change, but it has to be functional and for the better of the customers and employees and trainers. I really believe if a survey was done about the rearrangement that was made, I guarantee you that the customers would agree that the gym was better before the benches and machines were moved around. Other than that, I love Retrofitness, I have been going to this gym for 5+ years. I love how the owner reinvest in the gym, ( new equipment, new LED lighting etc). It's a great gym.

Everyone here is incredibly friendly, from the front desk and smoothie bar to the management and trainers. It's a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend it to anyone getting back into the gym. The atmosphere is wonderful, and they offer a great schedule of classes too.

I recently attended their Soca Fitness class and it was amazing! Highly recommended!

What started out as a nice warm experience quickly took a turn left and went downhill. I was a member for a couple of months and due to a series of unfortunate events I had to withdraw which resulted in this gym sending me to collections for $1000+ which is going to be handled accordingly because that price is completely absurd. I would usually keep my negative thoughts to myself but I would STRONGLY advise anyone looking to join an honest gym to STEER CLEAR of Retro Fitness, its a big expensive SCAM. Save yourself the headache

I love the environment and how supportive everyone is. I specifically enjoy training with Kemarlie. He provides the motivation and support I need. Working out at Retro is fun and rewarding, and the staff is very friendly. The level of activities outside of personal training just makes it more inviting. I would recommend Retro a million times.

Rude front guest. no staff for the amenities it’s supposed to provide as per the website( Smoothies, classes,). Its a waste of time and space. Broken equipment, messy work room with weights all over the space is the furthest from orderly. If you want a smoothie, be prepared to wait 30 minutes til the front desk agent acknowledges you and then makes it wrong with an attitude because of understaffing. Once again a real waste of time. If you want the police called on you for a tour of the space have a good time.

I have been a member of Retro Gym since 2016. However, my preferred location in the Junction closed, and I had to transfer my membership to another location. Although I was hesitant about this location due to its particular clientele, I started going there regularly.

Unfortunately, since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been experiencing some unpleasant incidents. Today was the third incident where an aggressive black male approached me in the gym. I've been told not to place my stuff on the windowsills while others have done the same. I was made fun of by some Black male and called a name. Today, another Black male abrasively accused me of interfering with his calisthenics; I was not paying attention to this person and was attacked. I go to the gym to work out, not to be harassed. While this gym is a good place at 5 am, it's best to stay away during peak hours because of the negative vibes and toxic masculinity.

Overall, I'm disappointed in how things have turned out. That's why I have another gym membership elsewhere...lol.

Retro Church Ave, has been my gym home for the past 4 years, and I have nothing but good things to say about the gym. The staff is friendly, helpful and even begin to remember your name after a while. I’ve seen the facilities make major upgrades, let me tell you it’s a great improvement of what already existed.

If you get a smoothie ask for Tamika to make it, hers are the best specifically the mocha peanut butter… it hits different.

Long Story Short: With all the Gym options in Brooklyn, it's not financially worth it or (in my experience) safe to go here.

There are pro's to this place thought they are short, and easily listable. It is relatively clean, the machines work MOST of the time, and the hours are reasonable.

The cons are many. The staff is inattentive and unaccommodating. And even if you use this Gym, I strongly urge you to not interact with their personal trainers. A DIRECT outcome of my fitness assessment was a five day hospital stay with Rhabdomyolysis. The gym refused to refund me my membership money.

There are so many fitness options in the city, go somewhere else.

I stayed in new york for around one month and i joined retro fitness. It was made clear to me at the front desk that i would be only paying for one month and no other charges would be added to my billing as i was only getting a one month no tie membership that has no annual fees and no added charges just a one time payment.
Having left new york in june they have been charging my card every month.
I dint notice it at first but after a few months i had no other option but to block my card as the gym is not responding to me in any way.
Its a shame that i came to US as a medical intern with high hopes regarding ethics and empathy in the system but so far i have been disheartened and disappointed by the blatant and fraudulent attitude of such a big gym chain.

With the plates you have right now, because they’re not round they jerk in a random direction when they hit the floor.

I've had to update my review and I normally don't leave negative ones. I had such a hard time trying to cancel my membership and personal training sessions. You get such a run around. I was frustrated that I got charged for an entire month of personal training when I made it clear I'd be away. So I canceled my accounts last month. I got charged earlier this month for personal training sessions and was told I'd get a refund after many calls. Again, more of a run around. I still have yet to be refunded.
I spoke with Benjamin a few days ago and was told it might be my bank. Then I get charged again and that fee is refunded, not the one from earlier this month. I have no clue what game or scam this gym is running. If I cannot get my bank to remove the charge from earlier this month I will report this gym to any place I can.

Love this gym. Lately it has been exceptionally clean. Its one thing to know there is a cleaning crew but to see them in action is always a better feeling. Kris has been doing one hell of a job. His efficiency and dedication haven't gone unnoticed. I feel safer knowing I have a clean and safe environment to work out in. Thank you retro.

Retro Fitness is my home gym, of course I go to other gyms from time to time but I always come back home. Tamika at Retro on Church Ave makes my experience at the gym enjoyable. She welcomes everyone with a smile and gets to know everyone by name. She was missed while she was gone, however, I am glad she is back.

Retro Fitness is my favorite gym here in Brooklyn! The gym is clean and the staff are very nice, especially Tamika and I’m so happy she’s finally back! She’s always there to help and makes me feel welcomed every time I come in. Would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a gym in the area.

By far the best gym I’ve worked out at. Jayjay at the front desk was very welcoming and made me a great shake. I definitely would recommend any beginners who are looking for a friendly gym environment with many different equipment to use.

I have been asking to cancel my membership for a month and I have been told that I will get a call from the owner every time, which has been incredibly difficult because there are no voicemails and I do not know what the owners number is.

4 months ago also asked to downgrade my plan and it took 3 months of back and forth phone tag to get ahold of the manager. I only got ahold of the manager after being told by the staff who initially said "he's not here" that he was actually hiding in the office from me. He also charged me an extra $30 "joiners fee" for downgrading. Sir, I've already joined and paid other yearly fees. Should have know it was a red flag. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM.

Truly regret my decision signing up for this gym. Trainers and work staff are very impolite. Very untidy throughout the gym especially in the locker room. Really disappointed. Buyers Beware !

Retro Fitness is a great gym with tons of free weight, great equipment and has variety of different machines. Retro has a friendly environment and a great staff. Luis who works at the desk is very friendly, helpful and makes the best shakes! I recommend the “fat boy”. Overall I would definitely recommend Retro Fitness.

This is a good gym I've been coming to since Ballys/24hr Fitness closed on Tilden. The gym is very small compared to other Retro Fitness I've visited but this one is a 10min walk from my apartment. It's kinda annoying when people treat the gym like happy hour at a bar socializing and hogging the equipment or an area of the gym. It's hard to go inside, get my pump and leave when that's happening.

I have been a member of this gym since October 2017. There are maaaannnnyy things to LOVE about this branch!! They are very clean (thanks Sylvia!), have all the equipment that you will need to whip into shape, and have an infectious culture of wellness that permeates throughout the membership. Everyone is helpful, especially the trainers. I have been very fortunate to spend time with Oelex, Hatuey and Sean. They are amazing professionals who genuinely want to see your body transform. Currently, I am training with Sean and I would recommend him to anyone who is in search of a trainer who will push you to your limits while being understanding of real life issues (e.g., work, emergencies, lack of motivation, "lady"). He is patient and, above all, willing to put in the time so that you get the most out of your workout. I can't tell you how many sessions where I have tried to run down the time by complaining or taking breaks... that doesn't bother him - you WILL finish your workout! With that kind of support, who wouldn't want to return and try to improve? I'm very grateful for this gym. The personable professionalism displayed by Danny, God bless him. He has a saint-like patience and is a professional in handling difficult patrons like myself (I'm not that bad). Oh yes, who can forget Jasmine and Nelly?! They are amazing! I'm telling you, every single person who works at this branch contributes to it's awesomeness. Good job hiring team. Even if I don't want to work out, I'll go just so I can treat myself to Jazz or Nelly's delicious shake (chocolate mocha). People, the ratings are like this for a reason - and it's affordable! There is no reason to go anywhere else. None.

Accepts online payment but you need to bring in a letter to the manager or owner to cancel membership. Which is violating NY State Bill S1475A that was signed by governor on Nov 11, 2020 that requires places like this to provide online cancellation.

I am so glad I switched from Blink to Retro! They have plenty of space, it’s way cleaner, they have a huge private room for sessions, and even a MOVIE THEATER 🤯 If you need a protein shake make sure you ask for Tamika to make it, she’s so personable and the best shake maker hands down!
