First time working out here and got an amazing workout . It was quiet and well kept. They have a great selection of machines and some i haven't seen at other locations. I'm certainly coming back.

Go try The Wellness Center located in the back! Literally my favorite π in the area. The staff is super friendly and never rushes youβthey actually take the time to answer questions and explain different products. Everything is clean, organized, and the vibe is always welcoming. Theyβve got a great selection with fair prices, and I always leave feeling like I got exactly what I needed. You can tell they really care about their customers here. Also, ask for the sign up sheet and punch card to receive deals and news of upcoming events and sales.

Great gym! Would love to see a pendulum squat, they are highly requested throughout the gym community, due to the deep stretch and natural hip stance it provides. Please I am begging you.

I love retro but The wellness center in the back of this location is a standout destination for individuals seeking natural wellness alternatives, offering a comprehensive selection of premium THCa, CBD, and Delta-9products. With a strong focus on customer education and product transparency, this center successfully bridges the gap between holistic healing and cannabinoid science. Definitely a must try. Great variety 10 out of 10

Retro Fitness Gym in Matawan, NJ is truly one of a kind! The staff is incredibly friendly and supportive, and the atmosphere is welcoming β no intimidation at all. Itβs clean, safe, and totally family-friendly. I even work out with my baby strapped to me and always feel completely comfortable!
One of the absolute highlights of this gym is the Wellness Center. Itβs not just a gymβitβs a full wellness hub! The Wellness Center is beautifully stocked with CBD products, Delta 9, vitamins, and other post-workout essentials. Whether youβre looking to recover, relax, or recharge, theyβve got exactly what you need. Itβs the perfect complement to any fitness routine.
The fitness staff is amazing, and I have to give a special shoutout to Niyah and Bella at the smoothie barβOMG, they make the best protein shakes! On top of that, the gym also offers awesome amenities like tanning and a peaceful Zen Den for some much-needed relaxation.
If youβre in or around Matawan, NJ, Retro Fitness is more than just a place to work outβitβs your go-to spot for fitness, health, and recovery all in one place!

It has enough for what I need and is not too crowded then I use it but the locker room and "zen den" stink like weed. Today the gym was closed with no notice posted outside of the gym or on their social media.

I love my Retro in Matawan because it is clean and well maintained. I enjoy the stress-free environment. I prefer free weights to the other Chain Gyms that force you to use machines.
It was a small gesture, but when I went away on vacation, and had not been to the gym in a few days, and Retro sent a text saying that they missed me, with a free smoothie offer. It may seem like a small gesture, but they have my loyalty now. Keep it up Retro!

I came in to cancel my account and was told I could freeze it (as well as the charges) until I scanned my ID back in. I opted to freeze it and though I never came back was charged every month since. Since it was a freeze and not a cancellation, I canβt get my money back. I havenβt been able to reach this gym vi phone, so I will have to come to cancel AGAIN in person. Bad customer service.

Overall, itβs a great facility. The equipment is clean and well-maintained. The only downside is that this location is smaller than some of the other Retro Fitness facilities Iβve been to. Due to its size, it tends to get crowded, especially at the free weight section during peak evening hours.

Absolutely love seeing the evolution this location has gone through! Before the new management you should have seen how this place was maintained, (whether it was the atmosphere, cleanliness, or overall look of the gym) and to see it now is outstanding. This gym is ALWAYS clean (ive never felt more comfortable to take a shower at a gym like i am here at retro fitness matawan) with the help of the cleaning lady, whose there everytime I go and to be quite honest she's like an auntie to most members. Bela and the rest of the front desk staff is also so welcoming and detail oriented that they remember each members protein shake order or pre workout preference. My consistency in the gym has alot to do with the atmosphere here, and every month theres something new done whether its equipment, layout, gratitude board, event, new workout class, tanning machine, and the list goes on. Essentially the evolution of this gym corresponds or should i say parallels with the evolution of its members! (ALSO THERE OPEN ON HOLIDAYS)!

I recently joined Retro and have been thoroughly impressed with my experience so far. The facility is top-notch, with modern equipment and a clean, spacious layout. The staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to help, whether it's with workout tips or just a friendly chat.
The only problem I have is the time it closes on the weekend. See, having a job like me when I get off later in the day the gym is only open for a select amount of time in which I cannot fit in a whole workout. Maybe in the near future retro will reconsider their open time frame. Overall great spot with great people.

For anybody that does not know this yet, Retro Fitness in Matawan is under new ownership and wow... The gym speaks for itself. For anybody that has previously worked out in the Matawan location in the past 6-7 years and has not been back- GO GET A FREE DAY. I used to work out there years ago and left because of the shape it was in. And now going back to see the changes, the cleanliness, but more than anything else the atmosphere- everyone is like a family. Very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to new ownership who came in and really cleaned this place up this year.

Update: Bella is the only saving grace about this place, providing me with a refund for the last two months, and contacting ABC on my behalf. Thank you very much for resolving this and for having excellent customer service.
Go anywhere else but this place for your workoutsβthe machines are disgustingly run down anyway. The employees here waited three full days to process my cancellation request, leading to me being outside the 10 day window. Therefore, I got charged for being a member for another month. Doubt that was an accident. I called on Saturday, 9/23 and spoke with a guy that explained payments go through ABC financial and to call them when they open Monday. Ok fair. But I COULD NOT get in touch with a human there to help me. I still canβt. Called the gym and spoke to Vinny (the owner apparently) on Monday, 9/25, who promised he would save my phone number and follow up with me about it this week. Nothing. Called back Wednesday, 9/27, talked to Vinny again. He got off the phone with me promising to call ABC and get back to me. I didnβt get a call back. I called AGAIN 3 hours later and a woman said he stepped out and she would tell him to get in touch with me upon his return. Well itβs tomorrow and Iβm still waiting. Iβve wasted so much time trying to remedy a problem that they ADMITTED they are at fault for because my cancellation letter was clearly marked for 3 days prior. They should be bending over backwards to help me, but I guess since theyβre not getting my business anymore they couldnβt care less. I just moved and every single dollar is precious to me right now. I just want my refund and to put this awful club behind me for good. If you guys want to fix it, you have my number.

I have had memberships to 5 different gyms over 16 years of lifting and personal training, and Iβve never seen a gym in worse disrepair than this one. The plates are literally chipping apart, the grips on machines have worn so badly that the glue stained my clothing. They refuse to turn the air conditioning on when it is hot outside. It seems to me like the owners are cheap and just donβt want to bother fixing anything or making it worthwhile to work out there.

This gym has gotten too warm to workout in. Indoor room temperature is set at 73. From a cardio standpoint it is too high resulting in uncomfortable conditions. Restricting the benefits of cooler air and ventilation has greatly impaired my workout. Though rare β it is not uncommon for people to suffer heat-related illnesses, dizziness, or even cardiac arrest when body temperature gets too high. Several staff members acknowledge this is problem to no avail. Unfortunately I will be canceling my membership at this gym.

I love this place. It's really clean. It has all the machines I would ever need. So worth the price I pay monthly. I love the protein shakes especially with chocolate and peanut butter. Delicious!! I recommend their shakes all day. My friend and I go there sometimes just to get a shake and leave because they are just that good. I've tried a class there before and it was really fun, I think I'm going to go to some more, since it's included in my membership. Might as well take advantage of the fact that it's free classes included!!!

The gym itself has a lot of potential but the owner is not a gym guy. Bad lay out of equipment.. Most of the equipment is old and needs new weights. When its busy good luck getting a machine.. Members recommendations go unheard and most of the staff themselves work out at other gyms. Only bright side is the pre-workouts they offer and shake/smoothie bar.

they have made some improvements over the years. 3yrs ago the manager red head with freckles did very little to make you feel at home She was more concerned with flirting with the pretty boys who ordered shakes at the counter. She didnt last very long . Her replacement was nice but when she said hello when we came in the door she would yell out our first name . That was embarrasing and totally unnecessary Glad that she left also. The current staff is ok in my book but they need to make some changes on the floor. FIrst off the wipes are available at times and sometimes they are not That is not good . If you cant provide the wipes at least have a liquid gell at the front desk for everyone to use . The most annoying aspect is the loud music coming from the speakers . Maybe some of us older generation dont feel like listening to rap music especially when its penetrating your eardrums at loud decibles not meant for the human ear. to withstand . Tone it down a bit and start playing some Beatles Stones Arrow smith 70's and 80s music I mean really not all members are teens or in their 20s . The rotating fans are a necessity in the summer but not in the winter. If there are members that need fans on during winter season then you got some kind of medical issue and you need to see a doctor . Get some AC in the building .those fans are annoying especially when you keep them on in the winter blowing on your back . You can get very sick .

The worse Retro in NJ. It's often too hot ( I doubt the gym staff sets it for the gym goers). Music volume is often lower than the TVs on the walls ( leads to people standing around talking and not training). Gym staff is horrible.... girls gossiping at front desk instead of paying attention to how the gym standards are being upheld. Even when you first walk in the gym you get a superficial Hello from a girl who's not even looking at you or paying attention to your reply. This place is obviously not run by people with fitness or gym knowledge.

Thanks Kathleen. Just an update, at the location on 2/15/18 asked front counter girl for spray or wipes for the machines because there were none on the floor, she told me she would lets someone know because thats not "her job" and went back to talking to her friends at the counter. Itd be nice to have antibacterial materials stocked during flu season and a counter girl thats not a millennial with a 'tude.

Definitely one of the cleanest and friendliest Retro locations I've been to. The facility has been expanded to accommodate new equipment as well as the new members this gym receives every month. I've been a member for well over 5 years now and have had minor membership issues that the staff patiently and cooperatively solved for me. Never too packed -- good assortment of equipment kept very clean -- compared to other locations this one is much nicer, and a lot better fit for a member looking for a hassle-free workout in a clean gym with a good staff. I have cancelled before due to health reasons and periods of time where I travel and never had an issue in doing so. Cancelling here is relatively easier when compared to other gyms. It just requires competency and reading the agreement you sign up with. Other members here are extremely friendly as well. Overall pleasing and welcoming atmosphere at this Retro Fitness. Other than that, this gym is the best and I do not consider going anywhere else unless I have to.

While Retro Matawan can be in the small side of things, over my 3+ years of coming here, there has been a clear commitment to improvement. There have been improvements to space available, amount of equipment available, maintenance of equipment, staff friendliness and other areas. I once viewed Retro Matawan as an average location in the franchise, but I've grown to really appreciate all they do.

This gym is simply too small. Feels like your in a pressure chamber. Huge pain trying to do a workout when most machines are taken.

On the smaller size for a gym but they have basically all the machines you would need. Most of the staff is very friendly.

My bf just had a hernia surgery and he can't work out for a while, he was told he can't cancel the contract without paperwork. He called earlier and he clerk a blonde girl told him the manager was busy that he was gonna call him back, they didn't. My bf had to go there to ask for the manager and he was gone already the same clerk told him that my bf needed to make a appointment before ( why she didn't tel him before). If you sign up to this place make sure this people don't trick you about canceling the program at ur request anytime you desire, obviously for my bf that is a joke

Front desk staff is simply RUDE and unhelpful. They simply don't care about customers. Gym equipment is dirty and outdated. Treadmill screens never works, sanitizing wipes box empty and when you ask them to refill it they seem to be bothered by your request. Daycare area has no lock or gate on door, kids can just walk out!!??! I Do Not recommend them at all.

A little small, but not usually too crowded.
