Ive met just about every staff member and they all are amazing. All are very friendly with your best interest in mind. The facility is top notch, all high-end equipment. Retro fitness has everything you want in a gym plus more. Smoothie bar, turf, sleds, power racks, slam balls, and battle ropes just to name a few. With a membership that is very affordable for everyone, if youre looking for a gym, retro is definitely a place to check out. Operational hours are also great with M-Th being 24 hours. For those with children, theres also a childrens play area. Ive taking pictures of the facility for those that are more visual.In no way am I being bias toward this gym, I just want to provide as much information as I can being that they are new.

Nicest gym Ive been to, hands down! The equipment is so much better than other gyms Ive belonged to, and there are more machines to use. With the variety of workout stations, classes and personal training, creating workout routines is limited only by your imagination. The smoothie bar and hydro therapy chairs are a nice touch. Great for post-workout wind downs.

Absolutely love this gym. All the equipment you need whether training for powerlifting, functional fitness, or body building. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone in the South Charlotte and Matthews area. All the patrons are very respectful. Plenty of room to workout. Very clean. My one complaint would be that sometimes the weights aren’t put back where they should be, especially in the bench press area, but there are so many plates over there, so it’s not a big deal.

Very nice gym. I really like it. Very well maintained and clean. The stuff is friendly and helpful. Child sitting is something that I’ve looked for and I’m very glad it’s available in this gym. Overall I’m very satisfied with the gym. Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I have been members since January and we love it! Staff is very friendly, facility is clean and has lots of equipment to use. They also have virtual exercise classes which is great to do classes on your own time. Some more specialty equipment would be one of the only things my husband would recommend. We highly recommend Retro!

Very clean gym and they keep the equipment well maintained. The staff is nice and always present able. I dont see them hanging out and ignoring anyone but pay attention and consistently walking the floor.

Wow Retro has made me a believer!!Amanda, the fitness director, who also teaches Exercise Science at a University, found the sweet spot using a trade secret, My Zone. It allows me to push myself without it being too hard. With the tools, programs, and especially the staff and trainers, despite my age (77), I cannot believe the progress I have made.Retro Fitness; the best kept secret in Matthews/Charlotte.What a blessing!

This is the best fitness center. I had bilateral knee replacement surgery 2 months ago and finished with PT. I joined this place to keep on getting fit. I signed on with fitness coach Amanda Brilene. Today was my first session and she was great with me. She is very knowledgeable on physical fitness and showed me exercises to strengthen my legs and knees. We will be doing more exercises to target other areas as we go forward, She is just amazing. Best thing I invested for myself. This place is super clean and very friendly staff. Exercise Machines are great. Thank you Retro Fitness at Mathews.

The Team and Strong sessions are amazing... and not just the workout/results, it’s the community and fellowship that really make you want to come to every class. We are like a family with a focused goal: Health and Physique. We all push each other! Moreover, the MyZone and Retro apps are a great way to connect and challenge one another. This is by far the best gym experience I’ve ever had :)

Retro Fitness is a spectacular gym with very friendly and helpful employees. I found this gym online and went to try it. Autumn who was the employee there, was very inviting. She is extremely capable and I was very impressed with how she showed me around and explained everything the gym had to offer. Not only was the gym in great shape but Autumn was amazing!

Where do I start, this gym is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. It starts with the location an quickly moves to the awesome energy and knowledge that you get from the trainers here, they are eager to help and will to take time with you. Im a TEAM member and being able to come to Boot Camp every day for minimal cost, is UHmazing. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. The classes are intense for every level athlete, and you will love the diverse workout combinations. The equipment is brand new and the facility is super clean. This will be my gym, hope to see you there! Stephanie Harvey :-)

I love this gym! My good friends invited me awhile back, and now I am a member to this amazing gym. I just wish theres one near Steele Creek area or rivergate so it could be close by. I dont mind the commute but theyre days that I wish it was close :)

Review №18

Been a member here since February and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. I stumbled across the gym by a happy coincidence since my normal gym was closed the day I was trying to workout(after 10 PM). All I can say is wow! The signup process was quick and painless. They didnt try to sell me anything like most gyms, instead they recognized my fitness goals, took the time to get to know me, and recommended a membership that gave me just what I needed and didnt cost a fortune. Now about the gym. This is hands down the nicest facility I have ever been to and with the prices they charge its honestly a steal. They really care about members success and you can tell the moment you start the tour. All of the equipment is brand new and top of the line. In the normal 2 hours I spend working out I always notice an employee cleaning everything at least once if not twice. The facility is always spotless and the staff treat you like family. Two Olympic weight lifting platforms, bumper plates, turf, sauna, hydromassage, I dont know what else you can expect from a gym. The only downfall, if I had to find one, is the colors. Takes a while to get used to but does make the gym feel unique compared to your other franchises. Overall itd be naive of you to not at least take advantage of a free trial to see if the gym is a good fit, but if youre anything like me youll be sold as soon as you walk in the door!

Review №22

Overall a decent gym with friendly staff, and good equipment. I subtracted 1 star for the lack of a rack facing a mirror for basic members, 1 star for way members are segregated by plan...In spite of doing so during my trial without an issue, a week into my membership the manager told me I couldnt use fitness room. It its the only room with a rack that faces in a mirror. There is not a sign and there is nothing in my contract that says I cant use that room. They told me this room is usually locked when there isnt a class. I but I had used the room at least 8 times before and it was never locked.

Ive been a member of 7+ gyms. Ive never experienced the same level of enjoyment for a gym that I get when I go to retro fitness. The staff members are easily the best of the experience. From the moment I first walked in I met Neil, who is amazing guy and father of three. Amanda, the manager, is excellent and knows her stuff. Ian, Rob, Zach, (Zachs twin) are the training staff and help with any questions. The young lady who runs the daycare is literally the nicest person youll meet. The whole staff is great.As far as the facility goes, its a new gym with perfect equipment. They have a nice blend of cross fit without alienating other essential equipment. The ?play room? is one of the most unique parts of the gym in which you can do a monkey bar like workout, run on their indoor mat, and push one of two weighted sleds. They also have a full TRX set (one of the reviews said they didnt).All of this is great, but what truly separates retro fitness if their staffs dedication to your success. I went from 18% to 12% body fat in 60 days from the absorbing the motivation of all staff and gym members. Their body analyzer is only reason Im aware of this, and its a technology that makes you keep wanting to work hard. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Check out this gym!

This gym has it ALL!!! It has a kid zone which was a priority for me! The girls in there are amazing and super attentive! They are on the floor playing with my girls the entire time!! The gym has hydro massage and great classes! It even has private workout rooms so you can do a little workout video if you prefer! I just hooked up my phone to their tv and it streamed perfectly! They have every weight you could want and even a CrossFit type are! I couldn’t be any happier! So glad I found this gym

Review №44

The staff does not relay the policy well up front, more specifically, Ron, the personal trainer. When I spoke with Ian and Amanda, who are supposedly managers, they were not helpful and just continued to talk in circles when I mentioned my issue. Do not join this gym bc they are unprofessional for not communicating the policy clearly up front. They make you sign a 12 month membership and it’s not worth it bc this gym is always crowded like a planet fitness when time permits me to go. Also, The smoothie station is a joke and they clearly have a high turnover rate bc I see someone new every time I go. I would give 0 stars

I’m giving retro 3 stars and this is why I went to retro last week after receiving emails about a free trial since my contract was up with PF and I’m now on a month to month. I went to retro and the person who helped us was knowledgeable but was only helping to get us to sign a contract. I was like well I came in to give it a try since I got a email about a free trial so why not. The first thing he say was we don’t offer the 7 days free trial. I was like ok but that’s what it said online he goes to say well they put that up just to get people in the door but we don’t offer that anymore 🤔🤔 ok.. My next question was I work late I get off at 3 in the morning and that’s when I like to workout he goes to say we are open 24 hours I was like ok cool only to find out the gym is only 24 hours 3 days out the week 🤔🤔🤔 Why not say that. My next question is why are the prices online different from the prices you telling me he say the online prices are just different. At the end of the day I just want to go to the gym and workout without all that extra stuff. I don’t need the classes and teams and all that I just want to come in do my workout and go home. I’m also giving 3 stars because on the way out a gentleman that works there stopped us and was like where yall going y’all not going to workout we told him what was said and he changed all that and gave us the 7 day free trial that the first guy wasn’t trying to give. If we would’ve worked with this guy from the beginning I would probably be giving 5 stars and ended with PF and became a new member of retro fitness..

Retro has by far been the best gym I have ever gone to. You arent just another member at this gym. You are family. The staff make you feel at home and know your name. Thw trainers push you to your limits and make sure to help you reach your goals in any way possible. I have been to 4 other gyms and honestly for me, Retro is the best gym in all of Charlotte. To updated equipment (with many different language settings and connected to tv stations) to classes being taught every hour to an actual smoothie bar. If i could give more stars to this gym I would. Im glad and proud to say this is the gym I attend.

Excellent new gym in Matthews! Amazing selection of top notch weight machines (mostly Nautilus including selectorized with press bars or cables, plate loaded, free weights, cable crossovers, racks), and cardio equipment (Octane ellipticals and zero runners, Star Trac treadmills, steppers, and bikes). The number of options for varying your workouts is truly impressive! They have many other amenities such as personal training, group classes, cycle classes, massage chairs, child care, and a smoothie bar. The facility and equipment are all kept very clean. Staff that I’ve interacted with have been great as well. To top it all off, the pricing is extremely competitive as well (varies based on the amenities you choose, but nice to have multiple pricing options based on your needs). Definitely worth checking out if you’re searching for a quality gym option!
