Fitness 19

The best gym in the area. This gym is always clean and the bathrooms are spotless. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They're not pushy for sales like many other gyms. The crowd that comes here are also friendly. What more can you ask for a gym?? Let's get it.

I've been a member for about two months and have been working with Sean. I have been very impressed with his knowledge and eye for safety. He is very knowledgeable about body mechanics and proper form in order to keep yourself injury-free while working out. Its clear that he cares about each client and the progress they want to make.

I needed to discontinue my personal training because of some health issues and I was missing sessions. So, I went in to cancel, and for some reason, I had a really bad attitude. I had already put my "Karen wig" on and was ready for a fight around canceling. I walked in and Nathalie began helping me and was calm and polite all the while I was being a d!ck. She was polite, explained things, and was honest and straightforward. Because of her excellent customer service, I was able to recognize I was an a$$hole and took off the "Karen wig." Nobody in customer service should have to put up with a customer being an a$$hole, and for that, I apologize.

In regards to the gym itself, the staff is friendly, it's clean, well lit, affordable, great energy and very well equipped.

It's a clean and nice space to exercise. It allows for a good workout to happen, making it easier to exercise.

Been going here for over a year. I like the gym but the workers are unprofessional. I get they are all young but every single time I scan in, no one greets me which is whatever. But today I walk in on Thursday Aug 8th around 2:50pm make eye contact with an a guy he just looks up like a death stare with his phone in his hand slouched in his seat. I bought a prime once and went to get checked out and the guys at the front had to stop being on his phone to check me out and he had a terrible attitude. Like I said, the gyms cool and the people who work out there but staff needs to grow up.

I've had a good run at Fit19 in Oakland! It was very bittersweet to switch over to another gym because my fitness journey started here when all the gyms started opening again after the pandemic. The memberships are SUPER reasonably priced and they often do promos, which is a plus.

It's located in the Durant Marketplace shopping center that shares a parking lot with the FoodMaxx next door, so parking isn't usually a struggle. The gym itself isn't the biggest, but the layout is very well utilized with a decent amount of squat racks (4), benches (4), some additional barbells on the turf, machines/cardio machines, and dumbbells that go over 100lbs. The space and bathroom are clean, and people do a good job at re-racking their weights for the most part.

The only cons are that it gets super busy during peak hours (e.g. waiting 30+ minutes for a squat rack) and sometimes the AC is down, so the space gets stuffy and steamy. Other areas of improvement could be refilling the wipes and taking out the full trash cans more frequently.

But overall, the staff are super nice & chill and although I didn't want to cancel my membership, the front desk guy that walked me through the process was very helpful. It was a breeze & there wasn't any hidden charges.

Despite the minor issues, I had a positive experience here and think that Fitness 19 is a great choice for anyone looking for a quality gym!

The gym is well kept and the energy is always on point. WhT I don't understand is how it advertised as m-thur 4am-11pm but fridays 4am-10pm but tonight it's closing at 21:00. I understand people like to party and all that but that's not cool. Advertise and stick to whats painted on the front door.

I came along way from work to get my session in.

Been going to this gym for over a year. It has all the equipment you need to have a good workout. Staff are nice and helpful. It gets a little busy in the evenings so schedule your workouts accordingly. Would recommend!

They encourage you & make you feel welcome they also show you how to work out properly so you won't harm yourself . If your goal is to lose weight this gym is for you

It's amazing best gym in da bay the only thing is i hate how they took out the cables on the turf

Been a fitness19 member here at the Oakland location since they first opened back in 2020, it's been a very pleasant and motivating experience, the staff and fellow members are like family. I'm also giving a Special shout out to Nick Lam for all his hard work and encouragement, him and the rest of the training team are very knowledgeable and they go above & beyond for their clients and members.
Keep up the good work

I'm grateful to have access to a gym that is close to my home and SO AFFORDABLE. However, it's not a huge gym so it can get crowded easily. If you're able to, you need to be smart about when you go. My husband and I usually go once a week during lunch time to do chest press together. Cause we swolemates, yenno? Jk we are not swole lol! There are four flat benches.

There are also four squat racks. They have one pull-up/dip assist machine. They also have a turf area, which I like to jump rope on (I bring my own ropes). They have battles ropes, TRX, and kettlebells - just naming a few things that I like to use.

Go get those gains!
