Retro Fitness 45 U.S. 206, Raritan, NJ 08869

"Talk about a dying gym. Got a membership because I was interested in yoga classes and they were offering BOGO with a free flex membership. Signed up for the yoga class online and was excited to attend. Then we got to the gym, waited about 15-20 minutes for someone to see we were standing at the check-in desk to then only find out they don’t offer yoga and don’t know when they’ll be offering yoga even though they advertise it! I cancelled my membership on the spot … Disappointing. I’m giving them an extra star only because the employee was kind, understanding, and apologetic. Seems like RetroFitness is having a hard time staying afloat in Central NJ."

"Never been happier to cancel my membership. The ceiling leaks and there are buckets filled with old water throughout the place, old equipment that has not been fixed or updated, place smells like mold. The water fountain has been broken for years, fridges are empty even if I wanted to buy something. They would be smart to burn it down and start over."

"A 5/5 would be considered LifeTime Gym. A 3/5 would be considered Golds Gym. I am rating Retro a 3/5 because their equipment is old. The people who work out here are quite the character. It definitely fits the bill and gets the job done, but when compared to other fitness gyms, it is lacking. The good thing about this gym is the price. If you sign up for a membership you can expect to pay around $20-25 a month, which is a fraction when compared to other two gyms previously noted."

"The best thing about this gym is that the employees and management are really nice and friendly. The gym has been clean since I've joined and I haven't seen it dirty once. Some equipment is failing and takes time to repair. There are roof leaks that have gone unrepaired for a long time. Bathrooms could use some TLC! The showers are missing shower heads and usually there is no soap in the dispensers by the sinks. The water fountain hasn't worked right in years! The building is supposedly being torn down, which is most likely why things are not getting repaired. They should still fix some minor things that doesn't cost a lot of money to repair."

"Every August they take 45 dollars for maintenance yet some machines stay broken forever. To the point where the owner throws away the machine with no intention of replacing it as if nobody will notice. The seated unilateral row machine, which was near the studio, had been broken since January 2022 and now it's just gone. With more and more people going into the gym it makes you wonder where the money is going if it's not going back into the business. I can't stand this place and will cancel my membership once I finish building my home gym. Save your money and time and go to another retro."
