I had an amazing training session at Retro Fitness with Natalie & Rashawn. They were patient, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand my fitness goals. The workout was challenging but motivating, and I appreciated how they explained each exercise. They always find a way to work around my availability without compromising the quality of our sessions. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients’ progress — I’d definitely recommend training with them. I left the sessions feeling stronger and more confident.

It's not that packed and I don't see young kids in there almost rarely which is honestly nice cause kids can be very disruptive sometimes but don't have anything against youngheads coming in. The staff is super nice , helpful, and almost each one knows how to make a bomb shake. The culture with other gym members for me is generally a postive experince. if you wanna chat you got people like that but like me everyone respects if you are just trying get the gainz lock in into your own world and leave. Big plus it has a parking lot and I live in flatbush and its more worth it here then to the retro close to me which is hoenstly treated like a dollar tree compared to here the cutlure, members, and staff are just not the best

This gym is a community staple- its clear that the regulars have been going for years and the bonds they've created are so meaningful. The trainers here are also superstars - Natalie & Rashawn are so dedicated to their craft. Natalie has especially been impressive to me with her approach to training. She makes it very clear that she prioritizes workouts for her clients that she herself has had to endure making her relatable and honest. She's also the best cheerleader - its so important to have a trainer who is able to balance discipline and kindness- Nat does this effortlessly. Also, not only have I seen results physically but I find myself feeling more confident in the gym bc Natalie shows me different approaches to my goals so often-10/10 experience every time!

Only one star climber, many of the cardio machines and treadmills don’t work. Not enough weights or equipment. Many universal machines are out of use for months on end. It used to be in much better shape before the pandemic.
