The gym stays less crowded in the mornings and boasts dedicated staff members like Chris, who makes the best shakes.

I wouldn't recommend this gym. I got many overcharges that they always claimed was a mistake. On top of that they made it nearly impossible to cancel my membership even though I was a member for over 3 years. Took me over a year just to cancel it and had to jump through all sorts of hoops to do it. I later joined the retro fitness in bayonne and when I canceled my membership over there, they canceled it for me on the spot.

This is barely a retro fitness. There are dozens of high school kids sneaking through the back door every day and make a mess leaving weights everywhere. When I tried to sign up my wife for a guest pass their machine was broken and couldn't take payment, and they wouldn't charge my account or take credit card, and told us to leave. I've been a retro fitness member for over 15 years and this is without a doubt the most unprofessional (and also out of date/unclean) gym I've been to. Won't be returning back here.

I stopped in yesterday to check out the gym for a potential membership. The place smelled awful, the machines were in poor condition, and the front desk seems to be run by teenagers who point to signs when you ask them a question. Great place for crackheads. Id rather be out of shape then ever workout here.

Watch out for this GYM! They will give you a hard time cancelling and will keep charging you fees that you dont deserve! They are ruthless. They keep saying that only the manager can do this or that but he is not available everytime you …

Be aware of this gym, they have horrible management, whoever the manager is, she has horrible side manners and is very rude. They literaly don’t care, they just want your money. I ended up with a huge balance and was send to colection with no prior notice, when i tried to explaint to the manager that i had canceled my membership in person with a letter a couple of months ago and was not responsible for this bill, she just said that I had to pay the whole amount in full in order to cancel my membership and hung up the phone on me while i was talking. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Basic bare-bones gym.. it gets crowded quickly after 4p, mainly because I learned that many people don’t have membership (especially the group of teenagers that are usually lounging around). I watched a teen open the back door and let a …

I used to be okay with this gym, but as if lately, it has become a hangout spot for kids, specifically Snyder high school students who come there still wearing their uniform. …

**Updated Review 10months apart** - I get dirty looks from the staff now because of my reviews as if it’s to intimidate me but the 4-5pm crowd is now vaping juuls and working out shirtless. This is going on for an hour in a packed gym on weekdays and no one says a word. (See photos) There r groups of guys making movies of themselves working out w/ NO shirts & masks on in the middle of this gym every morning and this place is already crowded considering everything. I Emailed corporate and the branch manager weeks ago about it and no email back. Yesterday when I mentioned it to the front desk person they acted like I was the problem and said "it’s just something they do everyday" -__-If you don’t believe me check out their IG stories.. no one has any shame tagging Retro in their videos

Be warned this gym is horrible. From the owner, Mike to the manager Desiree, IDK who is worse. My close friend who is permanently disabled signed up to this gym and went ONE day but due to her disability, she was unable to return. Her …
