Staff is always kind, attentive, and respectful. The gym has a very nice environment where I feel very comfortable, so I am motivated to go often even for very short workouts. This has really helped to improve my health. Thank you so much!

So happy that they opened a location so close to home! I love their other location but the distance made it hard at times. Not anymore ! Right down the street from me and when the weather is nice, a quick bike ride!! I love retro and so glad to see them expanding here in Albany.

I had a great time at this gym. As a person riding through Albany who needed to work out, this location could not have been better for me. Everyone on the staff was extremely helpful and the facilty was top-notch. If I lived in the area, this will be my home gym.It's a bit of a hustle to get into this location. You got to enter in through the doors across from the museum, walk down a long hallway, and you'll see it on the left. But it's a small minor complaint for an otherwise great experience in a new place.TLDR: Great Staff, Awesome Facility. You should go.

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facility and locker room. Easy website to book classes. Theres a diverse membership and I feel safe, comfortable here. The smoothies are delicious, my favorite is raspberry banana. Not just for state employees!

Seriously the best gym I’ve been to! And not only because of the decadent dirty nut protein shake they serve 🤤Loved the air vents and screens on all machines, the famous landmarks on the stair master, the variety & quality of the machines and most of all the protein heaven shop inside the gym 🙌🏼🥰The facilities are spotless and the staff are a delight! Highly recommend 💪🏻
