Fitness 19

I don recommend coming here at all… The gym is really over crowded and the machines are outdated. It’s awkward to work out because the machines are directly in front of each other. I came here because it was convenient and the daycare was free. After last week I understand why. I picked up my daughter from the day care, and clearly a special needs child had an accident in his pants. Instead of the employee handling that in a professional matter she started saying how much the room smells and other kids began to follow… Really? You’re an adult and you work with kids, how are u gonna embarrass/​treat a child like that? Let alone a child who can’t even defend himself… Anyway, i cancelled my membership right away after that because i didn’t feel comfortable bringing my child there anymore. How that girl reacted was wrong, but if you don’t mind having ur child in an environment like that then go for it.

I haven’t had a gym membership in well let’s say ever because I have a small gym at work and the great outdoors BUT this gym is perfect for the community. It’s well staffed, clean, spacious and operational. I also like its located near everything else like the grocery store, bank and park. All this gym needs is a Shower, sauna and locker room.

$ 9 a month, with $ 19 annual fee on top. Trainers have flaked out and not called to cancel. $ 30 for a half hour training session. Members never seem to wipe down anything. Machines crammed in way tight. No locker room, just a bathroom to change in.

It’s a little below average. Machines sometimes broke for over a week, and you deal with stuck up baller on budget people from southern highlands.

I really enjoy this gym. It’s close to my house and the staff is very friendly. It’s a little bit small but they do have a childcare center which is a must for me. Joe is my trainer and he’s amazing! He pushes me and even developed a meal plan for me. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

Crowded ~ like a NY subway. Greasy, sweaty, and stinks. Staff standing around visiting and «checking out» their guests who are currently trying to workout. This may be the only gym in S. Highlands at the moment, but St Rose Parkway to Eastern is a short drive for actual gym options.
Interestingly enough, the Fitness 19 on Eastern Ave is very clean, smells clean, much larger, has newer equipment, the staff are busy cleaning or helping guests during their shifts, and did I mention it was clean? You might want to try this one out.

Small, overcrowded gym. Good luck using a bench or the single squat rack. Extremely rude staff. I moved to another state and they wouldn’t let me cancel over the phone. Avoid this hole in the wall at all costs.

While the location is convenient and the staff is friendly… the place is disgustingly filthy. I have been in sporadically over the past year and every time I hope for improvement but to be honest it just grosses me out. As nice as the staff is… they are lazy and should always be up and cleaning something… anything…I beg of you!

The gym is disgusting at any price, all the machines are broken and missing parts for over a year. The treadmills TVA haven’t worked correctly in years. The heart rate doesn’t work to monitor yourself while working out. They need to close down purchase new up to date equipment to stay in the game and keep customers safe
I have been going t another gym for several months but was pressed for time the other day and thought I would go use the bike, one was out of service, another seat was broke another the handles moved around. I left and not sure I will ever go back

Sometimes crowded. But it’s the only option in S. Highlands

Pros: awesome people at the front desk. I am back in town for two months and needed a gym near by. They gave me a lower price than what they quoted me on the phone without me even asking.
Cons: WAY too crowded. I really don’t even have the words to explain how packed the place was. While I got a great deal, I just can’t come back here. There are so many machines packed into this space that you can barely move around (which is my fault for not looking around before signing up, but still). No room whatsoever around the free weights to do any type of organized circuit because you are constantly moving out of the way and avoiding other people two inches from you. Maybe the issue was because I went at 6:00pm when everyone was getting off work, but there were so many people in that gym I couldn’t even enjoy my workout.
I’m sure it’s not as packed early in the morning, but that just won’t work for me. So I’ll be eating my fee I paid for the two months and going elsewhere. Bummer.

Barebones gym at the right price. Only 3 stars because of low amount of amenities.
If you are looking for a gym with a spa, pool or shower keep looking. But if your looking for a decent amount of cardio, free weights, and some strength machines at a low cost look no further.
For under $ 10 per month I love it. I get a nice workout between elliptical trainer warm up, 40 minutes of lifting and a final cool down on the bike or back to the trainer.
Added bonus kids room were you can drop off the little ones. Not open a ton of hours so check the website for hours.
All in all highly recommended if you aren’t looking for a lot of amenities.

I have been going to the Fitness 19 in Southern Highlands for almost two years now and I have to say that I am stoked on having this gym so close to my home. Everyone here is nice, friendly and helpful. All the members at the gym are exactly that, they are members, they are at the gym at least 3 — 5 times per week. We actually exercise there and the gym is clean and has everything you need. Excellent job guys & thank you! I have been working out for over 30 years and this gym is on the top of my list!!!

Not the biggest place to workout but I’m not trying to become Ahhnold either. It is quite cramped with all the equipment they have jammed in there but some kind of workout is better than no workout.

I love this gym for the ease of closeness, it’s cleanliness and the bare essentials is has when I don’t feel like making the trek all the way out to GV where my other gym is. This is great when you don’t have much time and you need to get a quick work out in. Bare minimal gym for the serious trainer. The staff is also super friendly which keeps me coming back. I bought some training sessions but they were pretty worthless as I believe just about anyone could get certified and I didn’t even break a sweat I let my last session just go because it was a waste of my time. Again, if you live in the area there are no contracts and monthy fees from 5 – 10 a month. Can’t beat that. They don’t have a stair master though which is why I have this a 3 review.

I go to this gym 6 days a week at 5AM and I have also started going in the evenings as well at about 5−6PM it is pretty busy in the evening and you just need to get in where you fit in and get the workout you want and get out. In the morning you can pretty much move about freely and get your workout in pretty quickly before taking off. I like that it is a smaller gym and the morning crew is usually always the same people so you get used to who is there and they are all very conscious of etiquette and don’t just take over a machine you are working on. The last but obvious key to this place is the price. It is CHEAP. if you are wanting to get in shape and not break the bank just skip 2 lunches at McDonald’s this month and your dues are paid.

I wish the hours were a little better. The weekends are usually empty (apparently not many people work out Sat/​Sun.) but the hours are terrible. Closing at 8? Why not just keep the hours 5 – 11 all week long? The machines are nice, very rarely broken. Its never been so crowded that you can’t get a good workout in. The staff is kinda MIA and when they are around they are joking with their friends and could give a crap less who is coming in/​leaving. Seen SEVERAL people come in and not sign in. Sucks that they are abusing the gym because of incompetent staff.

I have only been to Fitness 19 a few times but so far so good… One thing they forgot to tell me before signing up is the Kids Play room closes from 2−4… So i was a little bummed when i showed up there at 2:30 to work out, the guy that signed me up only said the Kids Play room was only closed on sundays. Its a really good deal and its super close to my house. They only have the basic work out equipment, nothing fancy and no pool or sauna, But i never use that stuff anyways!

For the monthly price, well worth it. Lots of renovation has happened since I last came here, which is awesome. They have added new equipment since I last came here and lockers too. I was particularly looking for more leg equipment which they now have, bonus!
It isn’t the fanciest of equipment, but it gets the job done. Its the nearest gym facility in the Southwest area, so it is a pretty busy gym. I’ve been here early AM and late PM, and yup, still fairly busy. The gym etiquette here is good. Meaning, for the most part, people re-​rack the weights, will ask if your done with the equipment, etc. That’s almost hard to come by.
It would be nice if they had some sanitizing wipes or something to spray down when people are done using the equipment, a suggestion I hope that will be implemented :)

Fitness 19 is a great place to workout! The gym is not very big. Although it has everything you need to get a great workout in and get on with your day. The gym is really clean and every one that works there is very friendly and helpfull! What I really like about the gym is everyone who is there is there to workout. The best thing about this gym is there is never a wait to use a machine. The machine are always working and in great condition. This gym is perfect for someone who wants an afforable gym and someone who does not need all the extras. Like classes or a sauna. I am very happy with this gym. It has just what I need at a super afforable price.
