Blink Fitness, Jackson Heights--think of it like that pizza place down the street. Not the best…read morepizza, but it's always there when you're hungry. It's crowded, yes, and you'll have to fight a couple of teenagers for a treadmill, but there's a certain charm to it. The staff's cool, the place is usually clean, and if you time it right, you might even snag that elusive squat rack. It's cheap too! So, yeah, it's not the fanciest gym in the world, but it's definitely the one that'll get you where you need to go--especially if where you need to go is a good sweat session.

Just began my new journey to another gym after canceling from Puregym, since the gym culture isn't…read morethe same it used to be back when it was Blink Fitness but that's a story for another time. It just feels good to see staff at the front greeting me in and showing me the ropes of the place. I have seen this location many times passing by but admittedly foregone it in favor of Blink Fitness years ago because that was close to my location. Wanting to switch to another gym brought the opportunity to come here and it is slightly friendlier compared to Puregym, at least not as cold or sterile. It is Spring Break now so of course the gym was pretty packed but for what it's worth I was fortunate not to come across people doing super sets on various machines or spending several minutes on one machine I wanted to try out. Even had short conversations with 2 gym goers. In this day and age, social connection is very valuable so it felt almost as good as getting a solid workout in. Granted the Red and Yellow theme seems a bit garish, almost as if this place was created and run by Hulk Hogan but it's a nice change of pace from the dull and monotonous theme of the previous gym I was in. The one perk the gym has that separates it from others is that Retro Fitness has it's own Smoothie bar and a varied selection of them. I chose the Mocha Mania to be my first one and it sure does fill you up. It makes for a fine replacement as opposed to going to a fast food joint after a workout. Retro Fitness is my new home and with the highest tier I signed up for, I'm ready to explore more.

They used to have great group classes but cancelled them to make another barbell room so there are…read moremore places for the 10 men to sit on their phones. I have been to the gym during many different days and hours and the equipment is pretty much empty, but group classes are full. The class room is also used during the day for personal training and those who create their own routine- clearly, this decision was made by someone who has never actually been to this gym. The classes were literally the only thing they had going for it.

This is such a fun place! Feel like you're playing on the beach while being indoors. I highly…read morerecommend it. If you don't know how to play, the instructors here are friendly, fantastic and make it fun to learn. Ask about joining a league (or make one and play here). I came with a very large group with Yelp, and ISSA and RAKIM (or Rahim? I'm so sorry I should've written your name down) were so helpful, attentive, and great with us. There's also a bar and a fridge with non-alcoholic drinks.

I absolutely LOVE this place! After attending a Yelp event here, I decided to join a recreational…read moreleague with some fellow Yelpers + run club friends and we are having so much fun!! This is an indoor BEACH volleyball facility - something I've never seen anywhere else. While playing on the sand does make it a bit more difficult, it also makes the games more fun because you can dive for the ball without fear of getting hurt like you might on a concrete court. The leagues last 7 weeks + 1 week for playoffs. We are currently finished with 3/7 weeks so far and it's been an absolute blast! The recreational league (which is what my team is doing) is 6 players against 6 players. They also have intermediate leagues that are 4 against 4 for those who are experienced in volleyball. My team, however, is mainly a bunch of amateurs (plus 1 amazing woman who played in college) and we are all just learning and trying our best! You can join a league one of two ways - either gather 6-10 people together to form a team, or you can sign up as a "free agent" and QBK will assign you to a team. The latter is easiest if you aren't able to find a bunch of people who want to commit to a league. The games will always be on the same day each week (we chose Thursdays but there was also an option for Tuesdays for the spring league) but the times will fluctuate. Game times range between 6pm to 9pm start times and last for 1 hour. When playing, you'll play 3 games total, each ending when one team hits 21 points. Even if the other team wins the first two games, you still play the 3rd one as the number of games won each week goes into a running total which helps decide who goes to playoffs. Also, they have cameras up on each court and if there was a good play or epic moment, you can have someone run to "press the button" and it will save the last 30 seconds of the recording onto a app which you can download later. My team and I are always pressing the button, making sure to save the footage of hilarious wipeouts or epic moments when we score. The staff is so friendly and helpful! It's been nothing but great since the very beginning. My team and I are already talking about doing another league when this one ends because we are having soooo much fun!

LOCKER THEFT CENTRAL. ZERO SECURITY. If you keep anything…read morevaluable here, you're basically donating it. My locker lock was broken and my Canada Goose jacket was stolen. Staff basically acted like this is normal -- like it's happened to other people too. The way it was described to me sounded coordinated (someone checking if the locker room is empty while another person targets lockers). I can't prove who did it, but the pattern is scary. And the security setup? A joke. Yes, you can't put cameras inside locker rooms -- nobody's asking for that. But there should be cameras outside the locker room exits, in the hallway, near the elevators/stairs, anywhere that tracks who walks out. From what I saw, there's basically front desk coverage only, which is useless once someone leaves the locker area. Management's response was weak. No urgency. No real investigation energy. No "we're fixing this now." It felt like they care more about collecting membership money than protecting members. Also the place is nasty: dirty, people litter, and basic gym manners don't exist. The whole vibe is chaotic and poorly managed. If you're in Astoria, pick literally another gym.
