I love this gym because of the 24 availability and its bumper plates. Working out at this facility is better than any kind of therapy I've ever done. Nothing beats having a rough week and going into the gym for a solidarity 2am session.

I have been a member of this gym for a year now. Employee and management are alway nice and friendly. The facilities are clean and they clean up everyday. I live is 24 hour gym , so there no excuses. The personal training are very knowledgeable and their work out kick your butt.

FYI the photo here is most definitely NOT Retro of Wallington! A hot mess. Missing weights. Out of order racks. No rack for bars not in use...so they are scattered on the floor. Not safe...

I love this gym! It's open 24 hrs, the staff is friendly especially Walna (who is the biggest sweetheart), she is always so helpful with any account issues, questions etc and plus the staff lets you be as you do your workout. A big plus is that it's super clean too!

Im seeing a lot of bad reviews here out of context. This is one of the best gyms Ive ever been to simply because the staff leaves you alone, and the members are focused on their workouts. You will not get harassed or followed around by staff policing members about putting weights away or for trivial things such as chalk. This a gym for people who come to workout and that is exactly what this gym is good for. Plenty of space, plenty of weights and a hassle free environment that allows you to do what you're there for 24 hours a day (even holidays)....WORKOUT!!!!!

You can not cancel your membership that easy. Before signing up ask and research about cancellation.Stay away from this place.

Wanda the manager at the front desk is an ass yelling at everyone, as well as each day that passes by, the gym gets dirtier and dirtier especially in the bathroom filled with hair and no hand-wash.DON'T GO THERE ! You will regret it.

At first I LOVED this gym because it was so close to where I lived. Then I started working in the Hackensack area so I decided to go there after work every day or every other day. I thought that perhaps my membership would eventually crossover to the Hackensack location but I guess it never did.So one day I had the day off and decided to workout at my old Wallington gym.... this is EXACTLY how I get greeted by the idiot woman at the front desk after I scanned my card."Whooooooooooa!!!!! YOU haven't been here in FOREVER!" and at that time EVERYBODY around the area locked their eyes on me. Talk about being a little embarrassed. I told her "Yea.. I've been going to Hackensack" which she could CLEARLY see according to my logs.After going to Hackensack and even Paramus (goregous setup there) I noticed what a sh*thole this Wallington location is. Also the people working the counter always have "better" things to do than help you. God forbid you want to pay for a water or a pair of headphones- It's like I'm disrupting their life.I will be going to other locations, even though I can literally jump in my car, drive 1 minute and be at this gym, I'd rather drive 30 to another.
