I've honestly never felt more proud to be a member of Retro Fitness Fair Lawn than I am today. Recently, they completely renovated the Men's Locker Room. They replaced the showers, lockers, walls, floors, new mirrors, sinks, ALL OF IT! It is brand new! Why am I telling you this? Well, the best parts of it are that 1) the work was done so efficiently, with minimal interruption to the use of the locker room, but most importantly 2) the work was all completed IN HOUSE. Andrew: the GM, Tom: our very own built in handyman, and of course Big Kev did the work from start to finish. They hold the blueprint for how to properly renovate a locker room while avoiding headaches from outside contractors and workers, and taking care of their members all at the same time. When your very own ownership and management have all hands on deck in making these types of improvements, you can really feel the love that they have not only for their facility but for the members that walk in and out of the place each and every day. Retro Fair Lawn continues to change the game in how to properly run a high volume fitness facility. I come every morning at 4:30, upon opening, and the parking lot is full. Everyone goes about their business no matter how busy it might seem. It runs smoothly and with the amount of equipment and options there are to get a workout in? There is 0 excuse to not get a high quality workout in. Each part of the day has their own special community, but no matter the time of day you show up, the energy is high from each and every member and that is because of the way Retro Fair Lawn has provided us all with such a unique and incredible experience to fulfill our fitness needs. So next time you see the owner Bob walking around cleaning the machines (which he does daily), shake his hand and let him know how great he has done with this facility.
I go the Retro Fitness in Fair Lawn, NJ. The equipment is on the older side but very well maintained and the facility is very clean. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and it is a great value for the money. My only suggestion would be to get a few more 15lb dumbbells and a few more leg machines. Very nice facility!
I like the blue collar feeling of the gym. You have all kinds of people, of different sizes and shapes and ethnic groups. Short, tall, muscular and not! The gym is always busy and I basically see the same people when I arrive at around 6:30 a.m. I always feel better when I leave....exercise is the best medicine for your mind, and body.
