Retro Fitness - Queens (Rego Park)

This gym has outdated machines. Not enough machines period, especially for legs. Machines constantly breakdown, just really old and clunky machines. Def a gym for bubbles. If you are a seasoned vet you will not be happy here!

The gym is spacious with a variety of equipment options to help me reach my fitness goals. The staff at Rego Park is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and very helpful. After a workout, I enjoy the massage chair and a smoothie before leaving.

I've tried to get back to the gym, but there are several things that need improvement. Many of the machines should be replaced because a lot of them are broken or not working properly.

Just began my new journey to another gym after canceling from Puregym, since the gym culture isn't the same it used to be back when it was Blink Fitness but that's a story for another time. It just feels good to see staff at the front greeting me in and showing me the ropes of the place. I have seen this location many times passing by but admittedly foregone it in favor of Blink Fitness years ago because that was close to my location. Wanting to switch to another gym brought the opportunity to come here and it is slightly friendlier compared to Puregym, at least not as cold or sterile. It is Spring Break now so of course the gym was pretty packed but for what it's worth I was fortunate not to come across people doing super sets on various machines or spending several minutes on one machine I wanted to try out. Even had short conversations with 2 gym goers. In this day and age, social connection is very valuable so it felt almost as good as getting a solid workout in.

This gym is the first one I have joined, so I don't have any comparisons to other places, but my experience has been great so far. The staff and coaches are always welcoming.
