The community is high quality and the equipment is top notch for the price, especially since the renovations. They are continually reinvesting back into the gym to improve the quality for all members (while on the phone with management, he disclosed an over $400,000 investment into the cardio section alone for its members along with undisclosed investments amounts in other equipment the last few years). When it came time to cancel, I was frustrated namely because I found out that I needed to give 30 days written notice in order to do so. Within these 30 days, the member is still liable for fees. I was frustrated by this and, in a haze, left a negative review. However, after speaking with management, I discovered I had acted rashly and that their hands are tied by the bank. I stated in the last review, unfairly, that I felt like I was dealing with a big bank - it turns out that they are the ones dealing with that unsavory experience. The autodraft program with the bank is what creates this 30 day window discussed above. They are a small, family run business that will support each and every one of their customers as the manager did for me. It was clear from speaking with the manager that he was passionate about the business. While I may have had a hiccup in my service at the gym, I recommend its services to anyone moving forward. I originally thought that its management would not assist you on the financial side; they will, but you also have to be responsible yourself. I wasnt responsible and they still took care of me. As for the gym and community itself, it cant be beat. Merry Christmas everyone.

The gym may be adequate but their supposed policy of requiring cancellations in person is at best a nuisance in an attempt to put a hard sell on you to stay. After multiple harassing phone calls to my son demanding that he needs to cancel in person or via a fax (phone calls in which they were told each time that he had already canceled), they now call and say that they will allow him to cancel over the phone IF he provides them a credit card to pay $31.95 in late fees for a service he had already canceled. This after they already once allowed the balance to be paid over the phone and being told that service was being canceled. So you really can cancel over the phone if you pay them. Must be rough going if you have to scrape a young man for the cost of a movie, popcorn and soda and threaten to send it to collections for a service he hasnt used for over a year.

I absolutely LOVE this gym! There are many quality gyms in the area, however none of them compare to Fitness 19. At Fitness 19, I have access to top of the line equipment (Hammer Strength) that I need in order to reach my goals. On top of that, they have med balls, sleds, prowler, kettle bells, TRX, battle ropes, etc. Most importantly, I get everything at an affordable price each month (less than $20). No matter what your goals are (lose weight, increase muscle mass, get stronger) or who you are (powerlifter, cross fitter, average joe) this gym has everything that you need! Maybe, Im bias, but you can always get a $5 guest pass and see for yourself.

I had posted a review on here not long ago, and was very unhappy with the facility. Since than I have been contacted by the owner multiple times in an attempt to make things right. It has been expressed that the owner of this facility does want to run a good, honest gym, and seem to be very nice. The gentleman seemed to care very much so about the gyms reputation, and I can respect. I came back and chose to change my review in an attempt to express my gratitude to the owners for reaching out to me and making things right. If it werent for the little hiccup before I would give them 5 stars for the customer service.

I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the entire facility and the staff at Fitness 19. They are always very kind, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. All of the equipment is state of the art. My personal favorite, the new platform! The layout of the club is very thought out, as they have a completely separate cardio room and also a LifeFitness section on the hardwood. I also really enjoy how they have the tires and the sled that you can use outside in the back. For everything that Fitness 19 has to offer you would think they would charge way more than $10.99 per month.

I have been a member here for about a year and could not be more impressed with the quality of the gym. The gym is immaculate and the equipment is always clean and in good, working order. The complaint that I most often here from other members is that the gym does lack a shower room; however, the low cost of the membership more than makes up for this. Furthermore, if you are interested in trying the gym before you join they offer a one day trial membership for a low cost.

Both my wife and I joined this club around four months ago. She needed a place close enough to workout in the mornings, I needed a place to go that was close vice going to the base. It has been a great time thus far. Suggest adding a Sauna and more updated tredmills and elliptical machines. The staff is very curteous and love the option for keeping children as Ive used this option five or six times. My son seems to like the playroom.

I signed up at Fitness 19 about two months ago and I have been very happy with it so far. I am there 5 days a week, and sometimes twice a day. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I love the fact that in a couple weeks time they remember me and my member number. I hope they eventually expand the workout area and create a sizeable crossfit type space, that would be awesome, but all in all great place to be.

Fitness 19 is a great gym. Ive been coming here for over 6 years! The entire staff is friendly and the owner is a really cool guy. Most importantly, the gym is always clean! They pretty much have everything you could ask for as far as exercise equipment. I just wish they had a locker rooms with some showers.... and maybe a hot tub. Overall its a great gym and they have excellent membership prices.

Pros: Decent price for a membership. Staff is friendly. Guest passes are $5 a day. Has a wide variety of machines and a large weight area. Classes are available. Cons: Hours could be a lot better. Gym is usually always packed no matter which time you choose to go. Not really a "con" but it would be nice if they had a locker room and showers however they make do with small changing areas.

This is the cleanest gym I have ever been to. No matter what time of day I am in here, someone is cleaning. Staff is friendly and the price you cant beat. Only downfalls are dumbells go to 100 and there is no decline bench, BUT knowing workout equipment is expensive I have no doubt in due time these things will be added along with others.
