(I'm copy/pasting from my Google Review b/c this gym consistently doesn't open their doors during…read morebusiness hours)...
It's absolutely ridiculous that this gym can't have employees show up and open the gym in the morning. I really hope you don't plan your day around a morning workout, bc you'll wake up before the crack of dawn, get to the gym, and be greeted with locked doors and no access to your gym THAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR. I really hope the manager of the Belt Line and Coit location takes responsibility and the leadership team at Retro Fitness finds a way to remedy this situation that happens over and over and over again.
Edit on 9/10/2025: IT HAPPENED AGAIN! If you join this gym, you'll be rolling the dice every morning on whether or not they'll actually be open during business hours. When you wake up before 5AM and head to the gym, you pray there will be lights on and someone will have unlocked the door. B/c once again, I showed up this morning at 5:15AM and the entire place was locked, dark, without a soul inside. It's maddening when you pay for a gym membership and the gym doors aren't open. Once again, I really hope the manager of the Belt Line and Coit location takes responsibility and the leadership team at Retro Fitness finds a way to remedy this situation that happens over and over and over again.
UPDATED ON 2/17/2026:
DON'T WORRY, THIS PLACE IS STILL HORRIFIC. Like clockwork, no one opened the Belt Line and Coit location. We pay for memberships, but can't access the gym. You may like the low prices of Retro Fitness, but you get what you pay for. I hope you're ready to set your alarm, wake up early, show up to the gym, and then have to turn around and go home BECAUSE NO ONE OPENED THE DOORS TO LET YOU IN.
ANOTHER UPDATE ON 5/14/2026
Shocker, it's 5:37AM and there are paying customers standing outside the Belt Line and Coit location, in the dark, peering inside the locked doors of a gym WHERE WE ARE ALL PAYING MEMBERS. I'm truly in awe at how it's possible for this to continue happening. There is an absolute dread I have every morning I set an alarm...not bc I have to wake up and go to the gym, but bc there will ALWAYS be a good chance Retro Fitness won't be open. As I've said before: you get what you pay for. The gym is inexpensive, and the operations of the Belt Line and Coit location continually showcase why that's the case.
ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER UPDATE ON 6/2
It's 5:43AM and the Belt Line and Coit location is not open. It's supposed to open at 5AM. There is a group of people standing outside, waking up before the sun has risen, wondering why we continue to pay membership fees for a gym that can't seem to simply open their doors during business hours. There are very few worse feelings than setting an alarm and crossing your fingers the doors of your gym will be unlocked. The cherry on top of this unbelievable sundae is you can never speak to a manager or leave a message because at 5:45AM no one is answering the phone and the voicemail box is full. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same wrong thing over and over again. I must be insane for continuing to pay monthly dues and expecting things to get better.
LIKE CLOCKWORK, ANOTHER UPDATE ON 7/2/2026
A tradition unlike any other: you set your alarm for 4:55AM, put on your gym clothes, drive to the Retro Fitness at Belt Line and Coit, arrive to an unlit gym with a group of PAYING GYM MEMBERS staring inside the gym that's supposed to open at 5AM b/c somehow management hasn't figured out how to simply show up and ensure the gym is physically open during working business hours. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE BEING THIS INEPT AT MANAGING A GYM?!?!?! Maybe I should be asking myself how is it possible for me to continue thinking this ridiculous gym will remedy the situation. I guess I'm the inept one b/c I continue giving this gym money every month. I can't stress this enough: if there's a gym that's more convenient, choose that gym over the Retro Fitness at Belt Line and Coit.
