Fitness 19

My gym experience at Fit19 has been fantastic! The gym itself is great, I really appreciate the fact they have food and other food products to help with nutrition, But my favourite experience has been with the personal training that they offer which without, I would probably not be going to the gym consistently and enjoying it. Shout-out to Miguel, who without I would still feel uncomfortable and lost whenever I entered the gym. Basically if you want to go to the gym and feel confident in what you're doing, I highly recommend trying out the free PT session they offer.

This is the BEST gym. Everyone is so friendly and the equipment is great. Best employees especially axel.

The opening crew is consistently late. Switching back to Crunch. Give me a key I'll open on time

This gym is super environmental friendly. All of staff are super kind as well, some honorable mentions are Axel, Juan, and Justin. A Great place to workout at or start your fitness journey!

*Update *Most of these concerns have been addressed & it’s made such an impact for my experience. It’s cleaner, it’s cooler & the signage seems to be working because the weights are where they need to be. I have seen an uptick in staff making rounds, and that has been greatly appreciated. Keep up the amazing work🤘🏽I love this gym!There’s a lot of opportunities that would help this gym be better.-Cleaning/ dusting the machines (specifically the treadmills & stair masters) lots of dust caked on & droplets of people’s sweat.- Maintenance to the broken treadmills or even having a sign that it’s out of order.-Removing the toilet brush from the ladies restroom. It looks unprofessional & is probably the reason the stall always smells like dirty cleaning supplies.-Fixing the LED lights in the ladies bathroom. It’s been flashing for more than 6 months.-Front desk staff rarely greets customers when they arrive or when they leave. Anytime I buy something at the front desk it’s a real awkward, quiet transaction. Very minimal customer service.-The boxes of supplies that are kept in the shelves should be moved to the stockroom. It looks super tacky seeing it there.-Posting rules in high traffic areas that communicates that during peak times to not just stand around & socialize or hold machines for people who aren’t there or people who just sit at the machines on their phone for long periods of time.-Reminders to re-rack the weight used. Seems like a bunch of novice lifters aren’t aware of gym etiquette so having it posted somewhere could help.-Better ventilation. I’ll go in there & it’s super hot, sticky & congested. I’ve asked for the staff there to open the doors which sometimes leads to randos walking in on that side. But, without those doors open it’s almost impossible to lift without feeling asphyxiatiated.This seems like a lot but, they seem like some quick fixes that would really make this gym even better than it currently is!

This gym is so underatted! It has up to date equipment, plenty of room, turf area, and 4 squat racks!

Could give NONE stars if I could! This place charged me for months of membership even though I had not stepped foot into the gym. The credit card used was also cancelled and they were charging since Aug. This is illegal predatory practice. Had I stepped in with an expired membership, I would have been made aware, obviously. I understand that you may be understaffed but this can have a completely negative affect and you may have a lawsuit filed. I had only found out when some debt collectors sent me an email for hundreds of dollars!I am expecting the manager to look into it but if I don’t hear back, I will contact lawyers for this malicious practice.Update — July 2023. Still have not gotten any word from them even though it takes just a call to the number on record. This is how disorganized they are.

Good luck getting a bench or squat rack during peak hours, you might need to wait +30mins. Groups of 4+ people will work out together and also occupy machines for long times. Gym management oversold memberships, too many people, plain and simple, it even stinks to BO so bad sometimes that they have to prop the emergency doors open to help with the ventilation… I might to do better and invest in a home gym instead

Strongly recommended NOT to get a membership at Fitness 19 Oakland location. They will maliciously charge you for unprovided services once they have your credit card information. The fraud charges will not stop even after the cancellation. I was aware of this situation so advised my credit card company to place a block on the Fitness 19 merchant name. They intentionally charge my credit card again using a different merchant name. This malicious practice have been on going in the last 4 months.I will contact lawyers and file lawsuit for this malicious practice and scam. This is unacceptable.

Ray is a phenomenal trainer and friend. His infectious optimism makes our secessions together fun. I could not have gone on my fitness journey without him. I feel stronger now in my forties, than when I was in my thirties. I credit Ray for …
