About Retro Fitness Albany State Concourse
Retro Fitness Albany State Concourse strives to provide its members with a great experience through its state-of-the-art fitness equipment, group fitness classes, Smoothie Bar, and Pro Shop. However, some members have pointed out that the gym is missing a few crucial machines, specifically a hack squat machine and a leg extension/leg curl machine. These are considered basic equipment in most gyms, and their absence is noticeable. Despite this, the staff, particularly Nate, are commended for their excellent service and immediate attention to members' needs. The gym is conveniently located in the concourse level of a building near the plaza fountains, making it easily accessible to those staying in nearby hotels.
Used to be decently full and all machines were available within acceptable waiting time. Nowadays, it is very crowded and hard to walk around in. Finding a machine/bench/area that isn’t occupied is a struggle. I have no idea why there’s three potential areas for training and classes that are basically closed off for the rest of the people paying for the gym whenever they decide to. The turf room, the cage room, and the dancing room behind the cardio area. I have never seen all of the cardio machines in usage either. With 1 incline press, 2 bench presses, and 6 benches. Maybe there is a more optimal layout that can have more machines to accommodate the larger crowd....read full review
All 4 stair master machines shut off during mid use today. All the cardio equipment is outdated . If it wasn’t for the friendly staff and pure convenience I would not come here … this is an everyday occurrence, yes the staff can’t simply unplug them and plug it back in . But I don’t pay for inconveniences and broken machines , I pay to work out and if I can’t do that there’s an issue . The rating is only 5 stars because I love this place and staff . I’d give whoever owns this place a solid 1 star for effort because owning a gym clearly isn’t a passion.
Ryan, on the front desk, today and Saturday was awesome. Great guy, great service, super friendly.
The gym is perfect. Has everything one needs for a decent workout and is quiet first thing in the morning.
