Needs a better staff.. Not comfortable with so many people and not enough machines. I always end up waiting. You can't wear open shoes and I have problem with my feet. They say zero down which is false advertisement.. I paid almost $300.00 when I joined and in 2010 it's 25.00 a month..Just simply over priced.. Kennedy is much better for the same price. I signed up in 2010 they charged me for 2 years.. after I canceled. I just decided to return so I did not have to pay a down payment again. I think now it's worth changing gyms. I am shocked no lawyers has gone after fitness 19 for false advertisements.
I apparently owe Fitness 19 $93. They made no attempt to contact me about the debt being owed and subsequently placed my account in collections, which has negatively affected my credit score and caused me a recent job opportunity. I contacted Fitness 19 about the debt, but they indicated that they "could not find my contract" but that I still owed the debt. They refused to take it out of collections, which is beyond California's Statue of Limitations.
I signed up for a membership yesterday, which I am very excited about. It's super affordable, with just a $1 enrollment fee, first and last months membership dues of $14/month (with no day restrictions!), and then I paid for first and last months of the kids club that is only $10/mo for unrestricted visits! I also took advantage of their personal trainer special that they had going on of $99 for three sessions. Unfortunately, after writing the check for all this, an unexpected expense came up for my son and I couldn't afford to do the personal trainer at the moment. I went in this morning to see what I can do about cancelling the trainer, and they were totally flexible with me! They let me post-date a check to a time when I will have the money for it so I can still take advantage of the special pricing. They handed me my original check back and let me cut them two separate ones; one for the membership and one post-dated for the trainer. I see other reviews of people having difficulties with payment and cancelling with Fitness 19, but I am happy to report that my experience is much to the contrary. I will come back and make another review after using the fitness center :-) Thank you Fitness 19 for working with my financial situation!
Well its cheap and as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Although the gym is clean and equiped with a reasonable amount of equipment, there are too many members for the capacity of the gym. In fact I would be willing to bet the fire marshall would disagree with the amount of person to accessible exit ratio. As for the childcare, there are no credentials required for these people to watch you children.Nor is there a requirment for the childcare personnel to be CPR/Heimlich/First Aid trained professionals. In fact I am more qualified than the people working there. That doesn't instill a great amount of confidence in the facility. But if your looking for the cheapest gym in the area and are willing to manipulate your schedual to use the gym at a low traffic time then, this may be your gym. Truly, Mr. Smith
