Seems like a nice facility with friendly staff on hand BUT - NO SHOWERS. When you want to excercise before work, well... make sure you don't get too sweaty as there are NO SHOWERS here! I simply cannot believe it!

Scott, Dillon, and Dave and the entire staff are great. They don't have a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and a few amenities but you save a lot of 💰. The best thing is the daycare so you can workout and have your kids be in good hands with Hillary and Iris. …

I’ve been going to this gym for about six months, and it’s the third Fitness 19 I’ve joined. For the price, it’s great. It’s clean and the cardio machines work properly. There is one significant problem, however, that makes it difficult for me to train:Not a lot of floor space to do free weights. I do a lot of exercises that don’t require benches or any other equipment besides barbells/dumbbells (deadlifts, goblet squats, planks, etc). If I want to do these exercises *without blocking other equipment*, it’s really hard to find a few square feet of free floor space besides the corner by the kids room. ESPECIALLY when it’s busy. Sometimes when it’s busy I can’t weight train at all and have to stick to the cardio machines. if there were fewer machines and more floor space it would be a lot easier to do free weights, which is what most young women like me are interested in anyway as opposed to machines. I sometimes think it would be worth it to join a different gym, even if it were more expensive, if I could actually find space to do the strength training program I’m currently committed to working through. I would just need a radius of a couple feet around me most of the time, but that’s almost impossible to get when it’s busy.But if you primarily want cardio machines or other machines, it’s worth it and very reasonably priced.the women’s bathroom is frequently out of soap. I wish they had more boxes and stretching mats, it’s hard to get your hands on them sometimes. I wish they would not play cable news channels on the televisions, but these are minor complaints.

Beware! They make it next to impossible to cancel. They will continue to charge your card long after you cancel and fight you tooth and nail to keep charging your card. They will also manage to somehow get your new card number when you get a new card, even though you didn't give it to them. They will go out of their way to get your new number even though you made it perfectly clear you're not interested in the service anymore and will not use it. We had to get the bank to block Fitness 19 from charging our account after we submitted documentation proving we took all of the correct steps to cancel. They will also throw family members onto your card and will refuse to cancel without the physical presence of said family, even though it's YOUR debit card, not your family member's. We moved out of state and had no way to fix it in person, but they still insisted on it. Their policies are convoluted and just plain stupid to make it impossible to cancel.Edit: We did cancel in person. A family member was on the account and instead of canceling everything, which is what we wanted, he was kept on the account. We weren't aware of this until after we moved and saw continuing charges months and months after we cancelled. He wasn't paying for the service, we were and we weren't allowed to recancel the service without his presence, which was ridiculous because it wasn't his bank card to begin with. What became frustrating was that when this happened, we went back and forth through multiple phone calls over the course of weeks to fix it. We tried to work it out with the company. Nothing happened and we had to have our bank stop all payments. The bank refunded us our money. Fitness 19 tried to claim we owed them more money after the bank put a stop to their charges. This was even after all of the contact we had with Fitness 19 to cancel, even getting mail notifying us of what we "owed" them to our new out of state address! We were given the run around and it was clear this was a purposeful, forceful business practice to keep members, whether they want to be members or not.

Looks like they may be getting better. 2 years or so ago when I joined. It was the first gym I went to. Thought it was a good gym. You had to go at very specific times or you wont be able to use certain equipment. If you get off late from your job. You won't be able to train. 24 hour fitness doesn't have the same strict time schedule. Your also limited to what you can use vs other gyms. I canceled my membership with them. However I was still being charged a few months after. I had to drop everything I was doing and drive over there to have them stop charging my account. I had them make copies of the paperwork to show my bank if they try and charge me again. What really bugged me at the time a few years ago. They somehow got a hold of my credit card that I didn't put on file. I literally just got the card from the bank. I had to cancel that card and order a new one. There were hidden fees that weren't explained, and it was a pain in the ### to cancel the membership. 24 is a much better facility. I had no hidden fees. Canceling is easy if I ever had to. Due to my busy schedule. I can train anytime. No waiting for the gym to open. Gym is never packed to the point I have to skip training.

Well kept and affordable. You might have to wait a while for free weight equipment as the gym has gotten a bit crowded since a few months ago (Although that might just be because of summer)
