I have been a member of the Retro Fitness of Rochester and enjoying the unique benefits. They start with a group of highly friendly and dedicated employees who work there; they make going there worthwhile. It is also a place full very friendly users. I have made several new friends who share useful things that they have learnt.
It is a simple but great place to work out and keep yourself fit in health.
Based on my experience I recommend the place very strongly for all, especially the starters.
Location, ease of parking, cost per month, excellent classes! Good smoothies too, but dont like that you took away the option to "pay with points". Friendly and helpful front desk people. Clean.
Very disappointed about loss of previously earned points under old system. All previously earned points were lost at transition to new system. I don't think that was a fair decision. Points already earned should have not been suddenly taken away. There was no previous announcement to members regarding this upcoming move/decision so that points could be used up in advance of system transition. The optics of this are bad. Just a thought there for Corporate. Other than this issue, I am satisfied with Retro. Equipment meets my needs and gym community is very nice. Staff is generally friendly. Would be nice if paper towel and soap were more closely monitored, especially later in the day/evening but not a big deal.
That people go there to workout, not hook-up. Everyone is friendly. Some of the members have obviously been going there a long time. But what I love about it the most is the trainers who work with the members who have some sort of disability, whether it be physical, mental or both.
