Member since 2011. Lately, it looks like the equipments are not cleaned daily. Handles are sticky and dirty. These pictures are taken a month apart on the same equipment.

New City Retro is a very good gym overall. Lots of weights, machines and space to workout. The gym is very clean and has a nice workout atmosphere. The staff are great!

They have all of the equipment I need as I continue pulmonary workouts for lung function and strength training. Very pleased. Very clean and no loud music. I see staff cleaning a lot.

Affordable, local gym that has everything from personal training to free-weights. I prefer class workouts and had my first class with Angie (one of the instructors). She is very knowledgeable and motivational. Will definitely be signing up for her classes in the future. Thanks!👍P.S. They also have showers, lockers, and even hydo-massage chairs.

Retro Fitness New City is my favorite gym. I go there in the morning and greeted by a great staff (Mark). All the other staff are also welcoming and pleasant. Although their most of their equipments are a little outdated, they are always working and kept clean by staff , in addition their TV channels are quite good.I always see staff checking and dusting equipment. I hope other Retro branches will follow their lead, remembering that staff plays an important role. Congratulations to the Team . I will always recommend this gym to

Update #2: August 2024 : the magic lasted a short time. For a while now, the music went back to undesirable music to the majority of the people working out. 40% of the music is in Spanish language.

Inappropriate videos played on the screen all with some kind of sexual tone to it.

Many people have ear buds but to those of us who don't are stuck with this.
considering the persons who might enjoy this type of music are probably already listening to their own music through ear buds, retro new city should choose music with no lyrics and clean videos with no sexual overtones.

I've been told it's preselect songs but there should be an option where there could be a contemporary mix.

I would like to see videos that I wouldn't be embarrassed watching while working out with my daughter.

Music volume has continued to be at a reasonable level and that is a good thing.

Good selection of workout machines and free weights.
End of update-

Update: I went to the gym to try it one last time. I was surprised at one of the things that I complained about below were addressed. Music was low enough to hear my own music, not obnoxious. I was able to get a good work out without feeling like my eyes were going to bleed.
Very good!! Keep it up.. Keep tabs on the kids you have running the place. Set boundaries.

Thanks

I have been a member of Retro for over a decade now. I live in New City and would love to patronize local establishments but every time I go I am extremely disappointed in Retro of NewCity
1. Music
The music is so obnoxious and loud that I can't even hear my music in my ear buds.

2. The atmosphere is toxic. I don't want to ever take my wife there. There is a constant stream of cursing and vile mouths working out there. I am not a prude but seriously who wants to be around that with your wife.

3. Music videos are raunchy. music with cursing in it. I see senior citizens cringing as they are subject to this. Neutral music should be played.

4. Protein shakes taste like the blender has not been cleaned and tastes moldy. I threw it out last time. It doesn't take much to clean out the blender.

5. Bathrooms are horrendous.

This place is not family friendly. I travel am extra 20 minutes into pearl river to work out. Unfortunately, because I would rather stay close to home. I held off writing this review for a long time but the last few times I came home from work late I dropped in and wound up getting in my car and driving to pearl River Retro. Never a problem there. They play music, loud enough to work out to but low enough if you have earbuds you can hear your own music. It's clean and family friendly. No one is cursing.

Let me add this, the equipment is good at this new city retro. I want to at least give what's good but the rest needs to be cleaned up. I hope the owner sees this and starts to look around and clean things up. It could be a great place if they do clean it up the less desirable things.

Take note when canceling your membership, it is also policy that you cancel it 30 days before your annual fee will be charged. I canceled within 13 days of my annual fee being charged, so they still charged me an annual fee for a gym that I'm not going to for the next year. In addition to that make sure you keep note of when your annual fee is going to be charged because they give you no notice for the renewal, and no notice that they're going to be charging you an annual fee.
