Retro fitness has always been a great gym. Now it might be the best in the area. Retro recently renovated and added tons of new equipment. The increased space is my favorite upgrade. Here are some pictures that won't do justice. So check it out for yourself.

Updated 8/22/23Recently it was decided to renovate the facility. While this was a good intention, the handling was less than desirable. Still a month in and not finished. Locker rooms are all but unavailable with no place to change woth dignity. Half tue equipment is still not available and duct work is still exposed as seen in photos. It would have been safer/more efficient to close gulym for one month, freeze memberships and have all work done prior to re-opening instead of this process, which inconveniences members and puts some in potential hazardous conditions.Originally posted:Speaks for itself. Tight on space but has the equipment you need and not overly crowded.

Look elsewhere. General manager by the name of Lee has quite the condescending/snarky tone. This gym has been through several ownership changes in the last three years alone and the optics show Lee is not getting the job done either. Bench press has gone missing, equipment is frequently broken and pieces will go missing for weeks at a time, weights are never in the proper spot and they will never (and I mean ever) handle anything regarding your billing properly (which you can no longer do over the phone). Just avoid it at all costs. I don’t even leave reviews but I’ve shrugged a lot off regarding Retro Bay Shore, this one has been a long time coming. Be better Lee

Review from 5 year member:The state of the men's locker room needs to addressed immediately. The locker room consistently smells like urine. The urinal has been out of order for an excessive period of time. The locks on bathroom stalls are broken so you can't lock the only functional toilets. On top of that the handicap accessible toilet has a residential toilet which doesn't seem to be up to code. At the bare minimum the toilets, sinks, and soap dispensers should be functional. For a gym that serves hundreds of patrons daily this needs to be at the top of the priority list.The second aspect of this review relates to the equipment in the gym. There have been improvements made (reupholstering equipment). That being said, there is plenty of room for improvement.The addition of a squat rack would be a positive start. The multi function station can be used as a rack, but with no safeties and patrons free to walk by this is not a safe solution.The amount of equipment that is not anchored to the ground is concerning. This is again a safety hazard and should be addressed.The floor in the free-weight/dumbbell area is not level. Not much else to say about this. Obviously dangerous to have unsecured benches on unlevel floors.The gym is consistently overcrowded during prime time hours. The layout of the equipment does no favors towards this crowded feeling.I understand this is a commercial gym at a relatively inexpensive price point, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a safe and clean facility. I hope at least some of my concerns are addressed because I am certainly not the only patron that feels this way. I hope I'll be able to update this review in a few months with a 5 star review.

I’m a member here but probably not for much longer. That’s for the following reasons:1. There is nowhere to fill up a water bottle. The water fountain in the main area just trickles out. Probably wouldn’t use it the way it’s intended, either. Have to use a sink to fill a water bottle.2. Equipment is constantly out of order. Not just once in a while, but quite frequently.3. Equipment has recently been removed. There may be a plan for new stuff, but it’s not posted anywhere. We are talking about the second flat barbell bench, air assault bikes, recumbent bikes and adjustable benches. Pieces of equipment that get used frequently, especially at peak hours.4. There’s ONE regular exercise bike in the entire place.The staff, location, cost and size of the gym are great. I understand it is under new ownership as well, so hopefully something changes soon. This gym is convenient for where I live and I’d like to keep going here but I’m having trouble finding a reasons to stay.

Several machines are broken and not fixed for months. Bathrooms are trashed, falling apart.. toilets don't work, no locks on stalls. Down to one bench! So you never have a chance to get on it, even the eight racks are disappearing. In the summer there's barely AC, fans are always off. Unreal how absent the new owners are, if I owned this place I'd be on top of everything due to the fact I take everyone's money every month. Have some pride in your place. Many of us complain about this place. I've been to four other gyms this month as comparison. I'll delete this when the owner wakes up and takes care of this place.

I came as a guest and had the best experience at this gym! I was greeted by the sweetest owner, Grace, and she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. The gym is spotless and there’s so many accessible machines and equipment to choose from. Grabbing a protein shake on the way out was awesome too. By far the best gym I’ve ever been to. I’ll definitely be joining :)

Not sure what some of the reviews are about, but this gym is absolutely amazing. The staff has always been incredibly nice and friendly. The equipment all works and they even have machines such as the rope machine where I've only ever seen it at one other gym. Plenty of cardio equipment and it's never too hectic where you can't get a good workout in. My new home gym!

So the gym that I was going to recently closed down, forcing me to find a new gym and I found this hidden gem retro fitness in bay shore. (side note: I had been to this gym years ago and didn't really care for the owner at the time, he was very aggressive but the gym had a huge banner in the front saying under new management so I figured I would give it a second chance, especially since it's 5 minutes away walking distance from me) Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised, this gym has a lot of great equipment and is extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. If you are serious into lifting and are on a budget but don't want to set off the lunk alarm you should give this spot a chance or even if you just go to the gym casually there's plenty of equipment to help you if you are a beginner they also have a lot of interesting equipment for the more experienced. This place also has a smoothie bar where they make delicious smoothies if you want something on the go after workout or before. I definitely recommend

Great fitness center, friendly staff, updated equipment, clean and sanitized bathroom and locker rooms. Equipment is available, and plenty of free weights.
