Retro Fitness

I absolutely loved going to retro fitness in Catonsville! They make you feel like a workout family. Brian specifically was so nice and willing to help me start my weight loss journey. I was extremely sad when I had to decide to leave retro for financial reasons, but I would highly recommend going to retro fitness!

Great gymFriendly staffCoach Brian is a BEAST, I highly recommend him if you want a personal trainer.This is just a suggestion, Could we get a Zigzag bar that can be attached to a cable?Please,

Retro Fitness Catonsville is the only gym I will ever attend. I love the staff, Instructors and the Owners. They are knowledgeable, helpful and they care about your needs. I recommend this gym to all of my friends and family. This gym is full of joy. I give Retro Fitness Catonsville a score of 10.

Management at this location is unresponsive, rude and unorganized. The staff continue to call me asking to join, when I was a member and now that I've cancelled. I've asked them to stop, but they don't take note. Think twice before signing up with them.They obviously don't know how to comprehend reviews either. I clearly said 'I've asked them to stop, but they don't take note,' and they respond with '...you can always ask to be put on our 'DO NOT CALL' list.' A perfect example of their lack of customer service.

I like the customer service! It’s excellent!! The knowledge that the staff has is amazing! I also love the child care! Miss Brenda is the best!! I’ve never been a gym memeber before but I am happy to be apart of the Retro Family!

They charge an extra $50 per year on top of your monthly fee. This is not a sign up fee or anything, it's just an extra $50 every August. Also requires huge effort to cancel membership. After having such a nice experience at The Y I was caught off guard by all the hoops to jump through.

I have been going to Retro Fitness since last 1.5 years and it has been a great experience. I enjoy taking JP’s and Marvin’s team conditioning class. They both are amazing coach. They guid you, motivate you and push you to do better and better. I wasn’t a very active person 2 years back but then I took personal training session with JP back in 2017, which later motivated me to join team. One of the best feeling of the day for me is seeing on MyZone how much calories I have burned. Lol

I normally don’t leave any negative reviews for businesses, but this one really needs a wake up call . Used to get smoothies very frequently, since I have cancelled my membership, last year , went in after a 2 hour workout. Ask for a triple berry smoothie with 2 scoops of protein and peanut butter. How hard is that ?? Smoothie and shakes are no brainer. Gentleman behind the counter, didn’t use any gloves , I believe management doesn’t care about hygiene. Second he was ran out of peanut butter jar , but still had a good amount left at the bottom. Barely he used a 1/4 tbspn of peanut butter, I even asked him, you don’t have any spoon you can use to scoop out ? His answer with straight face , no spoon. Ok then didn’t even bother to open or look for a new jar , he just put that in machine and press the button and hand me my shake . I am a chef, do cooking for living , don’t charge a customer $8 for a bunch of ice and flavoring. If it was my employee I could tell you they won’t be working at my restaurant. So freaking lazy.

Retrofitness Catonsville is a great gym. The staff is friendly, they have a variety of equipment, and the facilities are always clean. I am able to go after work at 6pm or so and never have too long of a wait for a machine. I haven't experienced their group classes but they seem like a good time and the trainers seem friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible. At $20/month, you really can't beat it. I am not a gym rat so there may be drawbacks for more the more devoted customer but for someone looking to sweat and burn calories, it's a great place to go!

After going here for a year I'm thankful that I did but my pursuits have me interesting in other gyms. Low prices and staff are really great. However the selection of strength equipment is abysmal and there is 1 power rack and 1 squat rack. Instead, Retro opted for a nonsensical amount of cardio and treadmills which are made to attract the casual 1-2 visit a month fitness mom. Not my thing. Also if you go here please make sure you squat until at least you're parallel with the floor.
