Retro Fitness

Despite all the regulations and challenges following the virus, this gym continues to be well maintained, clean and safe. The staff is friendly and the owners are very involved (often there everyday). They make continued improvement to the facilities and the equipment. I highly recommend this gym

My daughter and I visited this gym about a month ago, and I just have to say that this place made us feel like we were right at home the second we walked in! The staff was so kind and the gym itself was my dream of what I think a gym should be! Awesome layout, sweet equipment, and a motivating atmosphere!! Well done!☺️ And on top of that, they have a fun place for your kiddos to be too!❤️ Thank you guys so much!

Friendly staff, unique equipment, clean and fresh facility. This is a great gym in itself, but especially for the price. Haven’t tried the classes yet, but they seem really good and I plan on doing so soon. Also a smoothie bar, which is a plus.

Revising 5 star rating from when I joined, due to experiences with service. I purchased a membership for my college student daughter, who is tight on money, I wanted a place she could go and work out available. She went infrequently for 3 months and every time she went she showed the person at the counter her new member email. Everyone just said "go in" so no worries she went in. Her best friend collapsed from a seizure and determined he had a brain tumor that was cancer. For the next three months she finished college and took care of him daily. Now that he somewhat stable, she is getting back to life, but apparently not back to the gym. The counter person would not let her in when she showed her the email, saying she doesn't even now what she is trying to show her but if she didn't get a membership card, she will not be let in. No offer to get her one, no options, just my daughters problem to get herself a membership card. Feeling uncomfortable she would just leave. I called management to try to resolve this. She made the right choice by walking away, for she was right, it was just going to be a problem and frustration. The manager told me how easy it would be to get a membership card, so non of her people would have not just done it. He went on about this in an effort to make me wrong, like I was trying to pull something on him, the same feeling my daughter had. Not offering to get us membership or what we can do, just pointing out that his staff was right and did not turn her away. One of the times, she had friends with her. Then again to make it her fault he asked why she didn't ask for a manager. Then he laughed and asked how old she is that I am calling for her. Again I saw her point, walk away, there is no reason to deal with people like this. Funny enough he is the one who hung up on me. No attempt to address the situation I presented him, to attempt to offer a solution, as if my daughter and myself had wronged him, he yelled at me and hung up. But to the owners end, they have my money and will definitely keep charging me, so he will probably keep low skilled employees on staff. I think it will be worth the fight to get my money back, as so many of the other reviewers are also plagued by the bad management and customer service, which they feel they are not contractual obligated to provide, but we are contractually obligated to pay. I did follow up with an email reply to the Membership confirmation email telling of the situation, but have not heard back. I will keep an eye out to see if they do stand up . ? ! . >

Entering into Retro, I am often pleasantly greeted with a smile and "hey, how are you?". The staff at the front desk are very friendly and I have made small talk with many of them. At night, there is plenty of space to lift, stretch or do interval training. The equipment is cleaned, the culture of the gym is to maintain your work-out area well and there are often workers putting weights away and equipment where it belongs. A neat feature of the gym is when the front desk workers walk around with samples of protein shakes - this is awesome and definitely makes you think about purchasing something after your workout!

The staff is knowledgeable and helpful the atmosphere there is great everyone is serious about there workout. It is a two level gym with good equipment and a lot of different classes/personal training options to choose from. It does get crowded during peak times but I would still highly recommend retro fitness to anyone looking for a gym.

For the most part; I really like this gym. However, during peak hours this gym can get extremely crowded which can be annoying. Also, most staff is pretty nice; except for some of the trainers. When there is PT sessions going on and their is a piece of equipment needed from out of the reserved area; they can be pretty nasty when you ask to use them. Other than that, pretty good gym overall.

I’ve been a member of this gym since February 2018 and I love it! The staff is always welcoming and friendly when you walk in, the facility is clean and spacious and there’s a wide variety of equipment to use. I attend Strong or Team classes about 3-4 times a week and I’ve made significant progress toward my fitness goals. The group training makes working out fun and builds friendships, which makes it easier to keep up with a routine despite a busy schedule.

Perhaps the cheapest gym near Center City Philadelphia. Even though it's cheap, it is a full gym with great hours and a friendly and responsive staff. Their equipment does not give off that brand new look like the more premium gyms do, but they are still very much usable and safe. I personally highly recommend. The cheapest, no-frills membership is about $20. For $20, this gym is definitely of great value.Also, a huge shoutout to the management team for constantly finding ways to diversify and improve on your services. Also, amazing job finding, hiring, and retaining talent. Throughout my time at Retro, I've not met an employee that wasn't friendly/willing to help. Wishing you guys continued success!

Best quality/price ratio in Philly. You have everything you need to workout.Employees are gentle and the spaces are always cleaned.The manager can be more educated and gentle, but overall it's a good gym. Nothing else to say.
