Retro Fitness

Hands down best gym in Philly! The gym is always spotless, they are constantly sending out surveys on what we’d like to see (and actually implementing the feedback), and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Lots of amenities and can’t beat the price. Highly recommend!

A gem, truly. Decently priced with lots of equipment. People generally mind their business and are nice enough to ask to share the squat rack. Not enough people realize how good of a deal this place is and I'd like to keep it that way!6/3/22 EDIT: They added two new squat racks to the main floor which divvies up the sharing responsibility quite nicely.

Great size gym located right on the corner of spring garden with two floors full of equipement. Employees at this location are very friendly and welcoming. You can sign up for classes (personal training, yoga, etc.) Or just complete your own workouts. Sometimes the gym can be very crowded (usually end of the day)

I've been coming to Retro Fitness Spring Garden since the end of June, and I honestly have zero complaints. I participate in a couple of the Small Group training sessions, and both trainers are excellent. I have built up really good rapport with each of them, and each session, I am pushed to my limits. Outside those classes, I am pleased with all the amenities and the variety of equipment available on the floor. There is much more here than there was at my last gym. All the employees at the front desk are also extremely nice and helpful.

This is probably the best bang-for-your-buck gym in Philadelphia. Staff at all hours are incredibly kind, well-spoken, and helpful -- if you have a problem with any part of the facility or another member they are extremely fast to respond. The facilities are incredibly clean and well-maintained -- if a piece of equipment goes down it is fixed, at worst, within a day or two. The gym itself has everything you would need in terms of equipment even as an advanced weightlifter/fitness enthusiast.The community of members is exceptional as well. I have never belonged to a commercial gym with such a friendly, supportive atmosphere. If you are looking for a good gym at a reasonable price this is the one to join. I usually do not take the time to write reviews, but this place definitely deserves the one I am giving it.

From Rockland County New York to Central Pennsylvania, this may be the nicest retro I have visited. There was not a single piece of broken equipment, everything was clean and presentable, and music was at a moderate volume. For $20 a month, I wouldn’t expect such a vast array of equipment plus a powerlifting room. I wish I had more time to spare. There was no grunting, holding up machines, or loud conversations peppered with f-bombs. Great experience overall.

The staff at Retro is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. There is wide-range of equipment available, complete with a couple of deadlift platforms and a turf field. The only drawback is that this gym gets PACKED during peak hours. Since it next to Temple and the Community College, expect to find college students filling the gym at all hours of the day.

I've been going here since my other gym shut down in august due to covid. retro has been amazing. they are extremely responsible with headcount and cleaning. It was such a great stress relief to come work out here. I hope they make it through this mess.

On 6/23/21 I went into the Retro fitness on Spring Garden location and bought a smoothie! I was in full Police Uniform and after buying the smoothie, I asked to use the restroom. Tamara who is a cashier, stated that only members could use their restroom even if you buy products from their gym. I asked to speak to the manager and I was told he was not in his office. A male came to the front and said you can use the bathroom at Dunkin Donuts! The workers there are very unprofessional and Dismissive! If the establishment is not willing to treat law enforcement with respect and don't want us buying their products, please post that sign in your windows!

Fantastic gym. Love the smoothies and they’re equipment is top of the line. Price range is perfect, best bang for your buck you can get in the city. Fantastic area and best gym I’ve been to in Philly.
