They’re permanently closing November 5th! ?
Joined this gym about 3 years ago when I moved from Queens to Staten Island, then got injured and disappeared for about two years. I started working out again a few months ago and now they’re permanently closing this location just as I’m getting back into it.
The staff has always been friendly and the members when I usually workout (8am to 10am) are always great (respectful, clean and re-rack their weights!)
It’s a small gym but I’m going to miss the place, really not looking forward to joining the nearby LA fitness but unfortunately it’s the only other gym in the area.
Best of luck to everyone at Retro Fitness and maybe I’ll see some of you over at LA Fitness ✌️

Day 8 update and still broken equipment
As of Oct 3rd 2024

Gym is spacious and has a good selection of machines and free weights along with about 20 or so treadmills.
Although these elements are nice the AC is barely noticeable in the summer and also there have been several broken cardio machines since at least March. Does not seem like they have been serviced and more machines continue to break.
Would consider LA fitness down the block as an alternative I will be doing the same once my membership contract expires if nothing is fixed soon.
Edit 9/30/24: it’s been 3 months since I left my review and not a single machine has been fixed since. But they were nice enough to remove the paper signs and add laminated ones that the equipment is broken so it seems they are not interested in addressing this issue for their members. See attached photos for only a handful of the broken machines. There are others but you get the picture here. Also dropping my star rating to the lowest possible it more accurately reflects the service here.

I’m typically very shy and afraid to join in on classes HOWEVER, I recently started taking classes with LuLu Odeh. I’ve never had so much fun and so much a$$ Kicking in my life! I know when I’m in her class she will have me smiling, laughing and huffing and puffing! I always leave her classes feeling like I had the best Daym workout of my life! Her energy is infectious and she really is an amazing instructor! I literally spent my 30th birthday taking her classes!
She makes going to the gym fun! I definitely suggest taking her classes!

I'm looking at various gyms to see which to join so I signed up for a one‐day pass. After signing in I was disappointed because I wasn't offered a tour. I would expect that people requesting a one-day pass are folks like me looking to become a member so why wouldn't a tour be offered? I was left to figure things out on my own. The elliptical was making creaking noises and the weight machines are old, scuffed and dirty looking and some cushions were severly worn. There was garbage thrown on the floor. Not a good experience.

Great place to workout. Everyone is friendly and there is enough machines and free weights for everybody to use.

I like this gym. Friendly atmosphere, wide choice of the equipment, great parking space. Additionally there is a protein smoothie bar with snacks and drinks. If it is not enough you can find variety of classes such as yoga, pilates, zumba and others.
After more than I believe month of not working air conditioning I decided to write the additional option to my previous 5 star review to this place. What is a point to all this equipment if it is impossible to workout more than 20 min. It is uncomfortable, unhealthy and really unsafe to do any exercise at such stuffy and hot environment. And it not even hot outside yet. The basic and fundamental principles of comfort and health safety are not kept.
After several months of broken air conditioning it still remains not working even near to normal. Temperature in the gym is over 85F by the end of the day. Summer is just raising the temperatures. Unacceptable. Dangerous.

NO AC!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what other people think, but I saw other members were sweating all over. There was basically no air conditioning in the gym, but the air conditioning at the front desk was sufficient.

I love this gym BUT the air conditioning is a serious issue. Every single gym friend I have complains about the same issue to the point of considering cancellation of their membership. This is a continuous problem and its disgusting to workout in such a musty environment. I will consider cancelling my membership if this issue persists. Air conditioning is a MUST at any gym.
