PROS: THE GYM IS EXTREMELY CLEAN!!! ANNE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB! The machines are well maintained and always in working order. The front desk staff is very friendly and someone always acknowledges us when we check in
CONS: TOO MANY PEOPLE SIT ON THE MACHINES AND PLAY ON THEIR CELL PHONES WHILE I AM TRYING TO DO MY WORKOUT ROUTINE. THEY AREN'T JUST CHANGING THE MUSIC FOR THEIR ROUTINES....THEY ARE "LITERALLY JUST SITTING ON THE MACHINES FOR 10 TO 30 MINUTES" TEXTING AND READING EMAILS OR LOOKING AT POSTS!!!!! THEN THEY DO 1 REP OF THEIR EXERCISE, THEN SIT THE FOR ANOTHER 10 TO 30 MINUTES!!!! SINCE THEY ARE USUALLY WEARING HEADPHONES/EAR BUDS, I have to stand in front of them and when they notice me, to ASK IF THEY ARE DONE ON THE MACHINE, WHICH SOME OF THEM GET MAD THAT I ASKED. I have talked to Scott about it but it continues to happen. I GO TO THE GYM TO WORK OUT...NO CELL PHONE, NO EARPHONES/EAR BUDS! I do my workout in a timely manner and move around to different machines. I often have to change my workout process because someone has decided to plop their posterior on a machine and just sit there on their phone! Please address this issue in the Kenhorst gym by POSTING SIGNS EVERYWHERE ON THE GYM FLOOR ASKING PEOPLE TO BE COURTEOUS AND NOT TO SIT ON THE MACHINES AND PLAY ON THEIR PHONES!!! IT'S MOSTLY THE UNDER 30 YR OLDS DOING THIS! Otherwise, I have no problem with this gym, feel that I'm getting good value for the money and enjoy going there.
My local Retro Fitness is a super friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I have felt comfortable here since day one. The classes are both motivating and challenging and the instructors are impeccable. I've never looked forward to going to another gym as much as I do Retro!
