I love this gym! I have visited several retro locations in the Tri-state area, and the Glendale facility is my favorite. The parking lot has parking even during the busiest hours. I love the staff! Anyone saying that they arent friendly, just never took the time to be friendly with them. Everyone that works here is sweet as pie!! The daycare is terrific. My son adores this place as much as I do, especially his buddy Martin, who teaches kids classes x4 per week. Im very grateful for the training staff as well, Karreim keeps me motivated. He takes so much pride in his work, its contagious on the gym floor. Bob, is one of the kindest and sweetest people Ive ever met! There is never a time he is too busy to help, he is always smiling, and that too is contagious. Retro of Glendale is made better by the people that work there. The equipment might get older, and worn, but thats bound to happen anywhere. ***My only suggestion to make the gym better is put more paper towel dispensers and disinfectant spray around the gym area.***

I regret the day I signed up 2 year contract with Retro Fitness. My membership was over and decided to cancel it since I had not been using Retro for 5 months. Did it before the next billing cycle. For some reason their billing company ABC is bothering me once again. The first time, it was harrasing me over the phone and email just because my bank did not update my information after I had activited a new debit card. As for the gym, I did not feel comfortable in it from day 1 when one of the beautiful female employee was trying to convince me to get a personal trainer. P.S. Guys, are you for real? I have not been using it for half a year, my contract is over and you are still bugging me about 60 days notice for cancelletion? Does it mean I have to pay 2 extra months for not using it? Hopefully, some potential members are reading this and it will help them to make the decision before signing up for you guys.

Glendale Retro Fitness, its simply Amazing, by far the Best option in the Glendale, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Middle Village area, Great setup, new and beautiful equipment, NEVER have to wait for a TREADMILL machine, cause there are about 40 Treadmills, and at least as many other cardio machines...Also the Boxing/Kick-Boxing section is Fantastic, with about 20 heavy bags hanging around, you never have to wait your turn...cardio classes in the boxing section are twice per day, and Ive seen people smiling once they are done, happy with their accomplishment of finishing a very demanding class, with a professional TRAINER!!! The staff is very helpful and attentive...Parking is NO problem, not for me anyway...Cant say enough GREAT things about this fitness club!!! Bravvvvoooo to RETRO FITNESS GLENDALE

Just dont go there, because you are going to regret it at one point. You can become a member and fill the papers with the cleaning lady, but when you want to cancel it you need a manager who is unpleasant, and never there, only one day in a week, or at least they said that. They are going to try to make things as complicated as they can get, and they are going to charge you 2 more months after you cancel it. It is overcrowded as everybody says, and yes, nobody racks weights, and it does smell like something died in the locker room. Its always too hot, and way too humid! Only thing good about the place is that it looks clean and some of the girls are really pleasant.

The gym is big and filled with equipment. I usually find the weights and machines i need to complete a workout. My only complaint is how packed this gym gets on even a regualr day. So i avoid going in the afternoons and nights. Also, people who live in the area are slobs and guys whos mommy did all thier chores for them, so the weights are usually all over the place. The staff also just sits around and does nothing about it. Other then those issues i sort of like this gym....its ok.

This place to to crowded. Total chaos with the weights, nobody stacks it on place, chaos with the management - and this is opinion of one of the personal trainers I was training with. They come and go, so rotation is huge and everything you have to start program from the beginning, because no one knows what you did earlier and everyone has different plan. Management just care about payments to be on time. If some machine is broken you will wait two months to be repaired.

There is no other gym that has what retro fitness has in Queens. You also wont beat the price for all that u get. What other gym you know has a cardio movie theater room? And cardio machines that are actual video games. Their fitness classes are even unique, with surfing, zumba and kick boxing being my favorites. They have personal trainers on the scene and a juice bar.. what more do you want for $30 a month??

An awful gym. I literally stopped going here because of how filthy this gym is compared to others Ive been in before. You could never find where the weights are as theyre scattered all over the place and the environment is terrible. As soon as I was able, I made sure to cancel my membership. It was great because of how close it was to my new apartment, but Im going to back to my old gym despite the distance.

Its an alright gym, it would be better if staff could do more run throughs of the gym to make sure weights are being put back into place. Its ridiculous how many weights go missing and are found on the opposite side of the gym. Its one thing that gyms in NYC are packed, now I have to find the missing weights on top of it.

I dont know about the mens locker room but the womens look like it hasnt been cleaned in months. The showers are the worst part. I already sent an email complaint, its been days and no response as of yet. As for everything else I go so early in the morning I beat the crowd and get my workout done.

I absolutely love that the equipment is always kept clean and functioning. I agree with the previous reviewers about the Repairs being done quick and the gym is kept very clean. Also, theres way more up-to-date equipment at retro fitness. At other gyms, cardio machines are lacking, but not here!

The gym is kept clean but I cant stand the fact that their radio plays about 5 songs over and over again. Also, they have only ONE hamstring machine for the entire gym? Where is the standing leg curl, the seated leg curl? They have a billion ab and cardio machines but lack everything else.

This place is a rip off, they charge you the "cheap" 20.99 a month and to my surprise in August they charge a maintenance fee of 52.21 for what??? Idk because the facility smells bad and the bathrooms are dirty! Worst Gym ever!

Front staff are not friendly at all. I asked a question and girl on the front desk was very disrespectful. Gym is way too crowded as well. Found a better gym with a lot better friend customer service.

This place has everything needed for a nice pump and cardio equipment. Love the warehouse look of it too. Looks like an old classic Golds Gym from the 80s with a modern twist
