Retro Fitness

"Excellent overall gym. The equipment is great quality and the manager is very professional at this gym. Also the environment is very freindly and comfortable. I definitely recommend this gym highly."

"Great place to lift, staff is friendly, owner makes sure equipment is always working properly. The other members there are generally pretty friendly and it makes for a pleasant workout experience. The place is one of the smaller retros but it has everything you need to get a good lift every day. The place definitely has a more mature feel to it, but it’s easy to feel comfortable and have fun while getting your lift in. Definitely recommend."

"It's been a few years since I've done my last review, so I figured I'd update it. This gym has become a second home to me but it's not without faults. The morning front desk staff are always great and friendly. The community of early morning regulars is also amazing. They're incredibly motivating, and the camaraderie is pretty awesome. Whether I need a spotter, some workout advice, or just a chat, I can always count on them. The sense of belonging and shared fitness goals here is truly special. However, there are a couple of areas where I think this Retro could improve. First, the absence of a hack squat machine is a noticeable and inexcusable gap, especially when comparing it to other gyms on Staten Island. Adding one would be a significant improvement. I've been to about 5 other gyms on Staten Island in the past few years, and ALL of them have a hack squat machine, aside from this gym. Please get one as soon as possible. It's an essential gym machine. Additionally, the middle greenspace area tends to get overcrowded with random equipment, making it challenging for multiple people to use it effectively. A bit of reorganization in this space could make it more versatile and appealing. On a somewhat frustrating note that's not the gym's fault, some members still don't re-rack their weights. This is a simple act of respect for the gym and fellow members, and I hope more people will take this to heart. I've also had to come during lunch hours and the gym becomes extremely crowded and sometimes the younger kids that come at that time spend their workout time texting rather than actually doing their workout and end up hogging gym equipment. Again, have more respect for fellow gym members. They offer daily classes throughout the week, but you need to follow their social media accounts or check out the signs within the gym to see what and when. This Retro has a lot going for it, with friendly morning staff, a motivating morning community, and good equipment maintenance. Some room for improvement exists, particularly in adding a hack squat machine and reorganizing the middle greenspace. This Retro has become more than just a gym for me; it's a place I look forward to visiting every day."
