Fairly solid gym. New management has been great and has brought a fresh breath of air that was desperately needed. Been at this Retro for 5 years and I have seen more changes and updates to this facility in the last 6 months than I have in all my time going. However… Current issues plaguing this facility: - lack of parking. It is incredibly difficult to find parking in the facility’s lot. I can’t blame the facility for this but it truly is a con. - influx of new patrons. the gym is constantly overcrowded during the afternoon (4-8) and was never like this in the past. Even during later hours/closing hours, i have seen it still packed. To add to this, there has been a hit towards proper gym etiquette and usage of the facility. I’ve seen patrons play with basketballs in the leg room. Deadlift then leave everything there to never return to clean up. Weights missing because they were taken and never re-racked. It is unfortunate to see To my next point: - I think the “exclusive” student pricing is doing some more harm than good. I know regulars who feel strongly towards this point as well. No offense to students trying to get their pumps in but a school weight room may be more suitable for some of these patrons :))))) Something that’s irked me: i’ve asked a few times for months for a new hip thrust “pad” which feels like it’s fallen on deaf ears. This pad normally is lost and no longer holds via velcro. Might be nice to have some more. Anyways enough of my complaining … Its a good gym, getting better and better by the day just too damn crowded right now!!! Looking forward to the upcoming expansion though

Staff was incredibly disrespectful. Equipment is solid, but I would not return if it meant having to deal with the staff who were blatantly disrespectful and condescending

This is a decent gym, if somewhat tight-spaced (not anyone's fault). The service is generally solid and the people at the front desk, in my experience, are kind and helpful. However, a few things need to be addressed: 1) Some of the channels on the cardio machines' TVs NEVER work. They're just grey static. What's the point of having those TVs if you can't watch what you want to watch on them? 2) There's often some bench press with a missing bar. It shouldn't be beyond the gym's budget to order an additional bar or two. 3) Sometimes there's no soap in the shower's soap thing. Employees need to make sure that this is never the case. When I'm naked in the shower and I see there's no soap there the last thing I want to do is get out and go to another shower. I want to minimize public exposure of this kind as much as possible. 4) The gym should NOT close at 6PM on Saturdays. This is my main issue. Some people work on Saturdays and can only make it in the late afternoon (~5-6). I understand closing early on Sundays, but closing so early on Saturdays seems a slap in the face to gym-goers who only have their early evening off. A much more reasonable closing time would be 8, which is when Fort Lee and Fair Lawn close. Tenafly is the only Retro in the area that closes so early; even Old Tappan closes at 7 (still too early, in my opinion). In college I used to work till 2AM on Saturdays (cafeteria), and I'm sure employees would be willing to stay another couple of hours for a few extra bucks, so this is surely not an unreasonable possibility. Otherwise it's a great gym that has everything you need for a good workout.
