I think this is the best retro that exists after the Philly retro. So the best retro in NYC. Yes I’ve been to all. Great polite staff. Always willing to help. Especially that guy in glasses ?

I’ll provide the exact same words of warning provided by one of the earlier reviewers: “if you join and try to cancel, they won’t actually cancel your membership and will keep charging you indefinitely.”Up until the end of January 2023, I was going to Retro Fitness about 2-3 times a week fairly consistently. I decided I wanted to cancel around February 2023, so I spoke to an employee. The employee assured me I was good to go on the cancellation. I did what any normal person would and took their word for it. I admit that it was a partial blunder on my part: I didn’t look closely at my statements and didn’t get a written confirmation.Fast-forward to December 2023, I realized Retro Fitness never cancelled my membership. I went in and spoke to Mike. I told him how I had spoken to an employee and that they had told me I was good to go on the cancellation. Mike told me I was out of luck on the refund since the other employee hadn’t followed cancellation procedures and because I didn’t get a written confirmation.But here are the facts. I had been going 2-3 times every week prior to my cancellation. Once I cancelled, I had not gone a single time in the 10 months I was charged. Furthermore, I had a serious injury that required surgery and immobilized me for roughly 3 months, so there was no reason I would’ve continued my membership as they claim.Mike then asked me if I wanted to cancel, and I, of course, confirmed I wanted to cancel since they claimed I hadn’t cancelled previously. I didn’t want to make the same mistake as last time and asked for a written confirmation of my cancellation.Unsurprisingly, Mike refused to provide me a written confirmation of my cancellation at that time. He said I would have to call in the following week for the written cancellation confirmation, even though I was cancelling that day. It’s not hard to guess what’s potentially going on if you put two and two together.To whoever is reading, this gym is an acceptable gym to join. But, please be extra diligent when you try and cancel.

It seemed that one employee in Retrofitness gym in Battery Park didn't appreciate my previous comment and made a sly remark with a dubious tone trying to get my attention.The owner just stood there.Then when I went downstairs and was working out at least 4 patrons tried to make sly remarks and get my attention.I brushed one off and ignored the other three as if they were children.They actually seemed to be lifting like children by the amount of weight they were using, lol.Seems like the employee is getting creepier every time I visit the gym.He seems to be subtle and indirect but extremely disturbed in his attempts to distract.I suggest we all pray for him but give him no further energy.It's like a child doing anything to get attention.Let us all pray brethren.

Gym is awesome, glad I made the switch. Great staff, clean environment, and great space to workout and not feel like you’re on top of other people. Love how I can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. Never had that experience with any other gym.

The Hubby and I just started here and we love it! This site offers multiple fitness experiences under one roof, you guys! From traditional strength and cardio options to personalized training programs. Yup, Retro Fitness offers something for everyone. They have best in class equipment and services, Retro Blends Smoothie Bar, and a selection of amenities that, as a member, will keep me feeling accomplished and refreshed. Give them a try! The owner is a really nice guy!!

I’ve been coming here most weekdays for about 2 months. This gym has everything you need. Great selection of free weights, there’s strength training racks, a functional fitness area, and so many machines that I’ve only tried a third of them.The bathrooms are well kept and I always use the showers at the end of my workouts. No lines for the facilities and they have towels/shampoo/shower gel at the ready.Come and see Mike when you arrive. He’s the best. No matter how rough im feeling in the morning, seeing his consistency reminds me I can make it. You just gotta show up

Retro is a great gym. The gym being in a work neighborhood instead of a residential area makes for great times where it seems to be almost like your own private gym during the right hours. The new young staff are very friendly and are happy to be there. Mike is a generous person with his time sharing his knowledge of body building. I see there have been complaints about the temperature but I think people forget they are supposed to sweat in a gym lol.

I have been coming to this gym for about two years now. I love the fact that the team is very friendly and helpful when needed. They have a variety of equipment to choose from I only wish that people that workout would take the weights off the machines when done. The trainers there are awesome and know exactly what they are doing to get you where you want to be.

I've been coming to Retro for over a year now. Always clean and organized. I train in the mornings and there's always enough equipment/space to do your workout. Manager is great and very helpful. Great bang for the buck

Huge space, two floors, with a big variety in equipment. Great price and kept clean. Honestly, all I need in a gym! Spoke to one of the personal trainers at length about my goals and am getting started with a tailored plan at a pretty reasonable price. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of training sessions when they told me. I get my daily workout smoothies from the front desk there too before going into work. Nice people, always willing to help when I go them. The one thing I’d improve is to have more locations so I can use the membership in the Bronx!

I have been a member for almost 2 years now and I truly enjoy working out here. 2 floor gym with a great variety of machines to choose from, along with many cable attachments. Both floors are always clean and organized, machines are well spaced out and always available.
