Retro Fitness,

"Retro Fitness offers a comprehensive range of equipment essential for an effective workout. The staff members are consistently friendly and readily available to assist whenever required. Additionally, they provide various perks such as Parents Night Out, enabling parents to drop off their children for an enjoyable time at the gym while they indulge in a few hours for themselves, whether for a date night or running errands. With its superb facilities and inviting atmosphere, Retro Fitness is a top-notch gym that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional workout environment."

"Writing this review after going from Retro to a different gym, and experiencing the difference.This gym seems to have an identity crisis. It doesn't know if it wants to be a planet fitness, vent, best, or pwr performance, but rather tries to cheaply imitate what these gyms have done to become popular. I agree with one reviewer, Rick, who said the staff does not seem knowledgeable regarding how to properly do their jobs. Management you can tell have no experience in a gym setting. I also see staff giving reviews to boost ratings."

"Amazed by the variety and sheer number of machines and equipment. I went around 8 on a Sunday and it was beautifully empty."

"This review is late. I hope there is a whole new staff but this was during the pandemic (2020-2021)). I got a membership here and a trainer. After my first session with the trainer, I ended up over extending my forearm because he hand me doing to many movements with weight to soon. (I got my own CPT because of this) Then on top of it they wouldn’t let me cancel when I kept having to quarantine because of the apartment building I worked it kept being exposed. I was told the pandemic was over. Which it most certainly was not at the time. They did nothing for me just demanded me to keep paying as well. So anyways, I’m still getting calls in collections from this place and it’s wild. You think during a pandemic they would at least keep themselves informed. Anyways that’s all."

"I like the classes and the equipment. Trish is an excellent instructor and gives an intense workout while also taking an interest in you as a person. Sue and Connie are great with the high energy High Fitness classes. I wish there were more class options on the weekend, especially strength training. Overall, it's a great gym!"
