I love the front desk, everyone is very nice and friendly. The gym is huge and often not crowded and there are a lot of places I can go if I want to be alone. It’s all affordable and super clean.
Retro Fitness Park Slope has a strong sense of community. The equipment is maintained, no machines need repairing and staff is constantly cleaning throughout the day.
Overall I love the gym. I don't like that weights get taken from the main area and put into the personal training room. There's way more of us using the weights out in the main area, and it's a pretty simple solution to just have an adjustable bar in the PT room.
The gym has a parking lot, decent floor area with enough room for people to spread out, good balance of weights vs cardio equipment and unique equipment like the Jacob's Ladder
