Retro Fitness

Awesome gym. Clean. Friendly staff. Good people. Good price.
Thank you for great product. Great price and most importantly great people :)
All gyms should be like hewlett retro.

As a member of this gym for 3 – 4 years, I couldn’t be happier. Retro’s staff, machines, environment, cleanliness and prices are far superior to any other gym in the area. Josh, the manager at this location, along with the rest of the staff are supportive, friendly, and helpful. They keep the place clean and genuinely care about the appearance of the gym and their members!
The machines and weights are well kept and, if ever broken, are repaired quickly. There is enough equipment to use even during busy hours. The movie room is a great way to pass time while running or on the stationary bike. It is also quite reasonably priced and has a parking garage. I’d highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a clean and friendly environment. Also, try the JG special shake!

I’ve been a member at this gym for a few years now so this review is long overdue. First off I would like to start by saying that the staff here are amazing. They are very friendly and make their members feel very comfortable. Josh is the manager at this location and he goes above and beyond for his members. I have never seen such dedication, commitment and passion to make sure all the members are happy.
As far as equipment, this gym has everything you need. They offer a private studio, cardio theater and everything else a heavy lifter or new comer would want. If you’re contemplating joining this gym, I would make no hesitation.

I started Retro today due to the fact that my personal trainer works out here.
What’s great about this gym is that it’s clean, they have decent people coming here and it’s not too packed. And a plus is that they have a parking garage and also parking isn’t hard to get on the street.
The staff is friendly and always willing to help. They even have a mini station where you can get shakes before or after your workout.
I love that they have the stair master and the rope. They have a decent amount of equipment.
Membership is only 20 dollars a month which is great and affordable.
Glad to call this my new gym!

I’ve been to plenty of gyms prior to retro and I absolutely fell in love with this one. I like to incorporate a lot of different workouts in my routine from cardio, weights, to floor exercises and this gym has all the equipment I need. All the workers here are super friendly and always make it a point to greet you when you walk in and leave. They’re also very clean here and it’s nice to see their workers be attentive to the quality of their equipment and machines. It does get busy especially after 5pm on weekdays so if you like it quiet, earlier in the day or weekends are your best bet. They have classes you can take, trainers available, an area for children, and a nice theater where you can do cardio while watching their movie of the day. There’s a lot of regulars here so it has a nice sense of community. There’s parking right below the building & street parking all around. Love it here!

I absolutely LOVE this gym. This place is so close to my house and I come here every week. It’s always so clean and the machines aren’t run-​down and the staff is always so friendly. If you like having an almost empty gym, I suggest coming during the day around 11am to 3pm because it starts to get crowded around 4:30pm until 7 at night. It also gets crowded around 9am as well. But definitely come on the weekends or late weeknights if you want to be productive.

This is the best Retro Fitness on the Island hands down. Always clean and the entire staff is very friendly and helpful. Assistant Manager Josh is on top of his game. He consistently goes above and beyond to help out the clients and is always friendly and approachable. This is my favorite gym and I will continue going here as long as I am stationed in NY!

This is a great neighborhood gym and I come here regularly.
Pros:
— Everyone is friendly and respectful
— Affordable ($ 20/​month) and they usually have promotions and deals
— Basic gym etiquette is followed, people re-​rack their weights and clean up after themselves for the most part
— Staff members walk around and make sure that the floor doesn’t get messy and out of control
— Overall clean facility with new machines and equipment
— I can’t really speak for the classes or the personal trainers because I don’t partake but they do offer them and I’ve never heard any complaints. My aunt and uncle use the trainers and go to the classes and they’ve always been happy with it.
— Some may not like this but you pretty much always see the same people here, which contributes to a sense of community (I’m not very chatty/​usually just minding my own business but I still appreciate this and consider it important for a place I go to often)
Cons:
— Small compared to other gyms (which gets annoying during peak hours/​the month of January)
— To be fair, I do have to comment on the parking situation as it can be a struggle at times. The lot is extremely small but there is street parking and a train station lot nearby. There is also a small underground parking garage but I’ve never parked there myself because it allows for two-​way traffic in a VERY tight one-​lane area to enter and exit. Not sure who’s idea that was but it’s just an accident waiting to happen.
Despite the parking situation and the fact that the facility itself is small, it’s still a solid go to gym.

I’ve been at Retro since it opened. You can’t beat the price. Prime time is usually pretty crowded but that is the only time that I can go. Even at that time I can still find an elliptical or treadmill available. I love the tread climbers and use the arc trainer but there is only one of those. There are a lot of free weights and machines. Parking isn’t always the easiest but there is an underground garage for smaller cars that always has spots. The main reason I stay is price and distance from my house.

I got very motivated and excited by the 5 stars reviews and called immediately to obtain more information. Shockingly, the persone who was answering the phone was extremely rude and ubrupt. Do I still have to make an attempt to go there?

I always find my favorite machine available! You cant beat paying $ 20.00 a month for a membership. I really love the body sculpting class but i wish they had more times for it. Also if there isn’t a class going on you can do your own virtual workout and they have a bunch you can choose from. The shakes are okay and the protein bars are decent as well.

Excellent staff and trainers. Made the switch from another gym in the area and couldn’t be happier.

I love my gym!!! The staff is so nice and friendly. Even the people that go there are nice and greet me. I lost a ton of weight and thanks to this gym that didnt make me feel ashamed. Equipment is clean and well kept. Locker rooms are clean. Can get quite busy during the evenings but thats expected. I just go early in the morning or in the middle of the afternoons and never have a problem getting a squat rack or bench for my weight training. Cant beat the price as well.

I so love my gym. For the price you can’t beat this gym with a at home feel. Dean the owner is great and always around to answer any questions. Joel one of the managers is also very nice and knowledgable. I love their cycle classes (Regina and Nicole are the best) the people who attend the gym are friendly and nice. I lost 56 lbs attending there and is a proud member of Retro fitness Hewlett.

Best Gym Ever!!! They also have babysitting service. The young lady is really hands on with the kids. I love taking the cycling class, the instructor pushes us to the limit. All the machines are cleaned, & up to date, I’m really impressed… $ 20 a mth. $ 30 with babysitting

Really great gym. I was so impressed and amazed by everything. All the equipment is new and up to date. The staff are wonderful people. I felt so comfortable there.
I was trying out several gyms when I came to this one. I came to this gym cause of the day pass that I had but I’m so happy I stumbled upon this fitness center. It has everything I want and more. They’re prices are fairly affordable, not like most fitness centers. They have a juice bar in there which is great as well. I don’t use that stuff but I know people check for that in gyms. I would definitely recommend this gym

This gym is perfect for a guy like me, who spends most of the time using the equipment rather than taking classes. I joined this gym shortly before it opened in Jan 2013; they had a promotion where you didn’t have to pay a $ 50 sign-​up fee. The machines are still in outstanding condition. Most cardio machines have a mounted television, which is a HUGE plus. There’s a large selection of treadmills, which you can plug your iPhone into (unless you have the iPhone 5) AND they have places to put your keys/​wallet. I love their ellipticals; that’s my primary machine. On their elliptical equipment, you can adjust your stride length, choose from a variety of workouts, and they have a TV. Too bad they don’t have more of them! Retro of Hewlett also has a large portion of their space reserved for weightlifting, with a variety of brand new free weights and machines for lifting. Even though Retro Fitness Hewlett is a rather small gym, it’s perfect if you care about the basics, and it’s MUCH cheaper than most gyms at only $ 20 per month. It is not ideal for someone who REALLY cares about classes, but they’ve been gradually adding some classes over the past few months.
Two negatives for me: no towels available (they only have paper towels) and parking is rather limited during rush hours.

Great gym. I love it. Brand new state of the art everything. love training here, never a dull bad workout. Good people, great staff, great hrs open till like 11 every day except sun and even on holidays. 20 a month and u can use all there spots. It’s such a steal deal.
Gym of the future I say
