Nice local gym. Rates are decent. I believe there is more to it than Ive ever explored like classes and a kids room. Theyve shifted the equipment around quite a bit I assume for covid. They have changing rooms and lockers as well. Theyve added new membership levels to include towels, water and other things.

I really, really dislike Fitness 19.First, I inquired about their “free trial” online... it’s a scam! No such trial exists here (check out Elkridge Athletic for that), but now I’m subscribed to constant email, text, and phone badgering.I even got a call at 9:30AM this morning (Sunday) - classy y’all!Not to mention, when I went in to check it out in person - the pompadork owner at the front counter was kinda smug with me for no reason. There are plenty of other options in the area.

My family and I enjoy coming here for cardio work and lifting weights.Its clean, the employees are friendly, and they are COVID friendly. They have a large variety of equipment, including various cardio machines, 2 lifting platforms, lots of dumbbells, barbells, leg press, pull up bars, kettle bells, battle ropes, Swiss balls, and more.

This is the first gym Ive actually stuck with. The new equipment and layout is awesome, and the staff is phenomenal. They are all so nice and always happy to help; they make me not dread going to the gym. There is also always a staff member disinfecting the equipment, which is super comforting during these crazy COVID times. Great gym, 10/10 would recommend.

Complete theft!They say they will only charge your card $10 but will secretly charge you $50 they should be shut down immediately. Me and some of my other friends have experienced getting overcharged on multiple occasions and all of us are never going back. Leaving for a little can of monster there that they say is three dollars your bank statement will say $10.

I have been interrupted now three times while working out by staff members. First two times because my swipe didn’t show in the computer. The third time to tell me I’m not allowed to use chalk. I’m a very respectful gym goer. I always wipe up after myself and keep to myself. I even use liquid chalk to minimize any mess. What is the point of having a platform to deadlift and not be able to use chalk?To reply to the response,My name is Chris not Nick, and I apologize if I came off harsh, but I really hate when my workout gets interrupted. Tonight when I was asked to not use the chalk it shot me through the roof, and ruined a workout I was looking forward too. If your saying I can continue to use chalk, I will not cancel and edit the review. I didn’t see the reply on the messenger. I was trying to email you, and there wasn’t a link for that so it came through messenger. Mostly, I go out of my way to not disturb others at the gym because I really dislike being disturbed when I’m training. So when I am it is upsetting to say the least. The fact that you replied quickly and reconsidered the rule is cool. I do like the gym because it’s 24 hours and for the most part quiet. I would only encourage you to ask the staff to maybe approach someone after they are finished their workout. It just respectful. The first time no one was at the desk and that’s why there was no swipe because I didn’t see anyone there. I will own that one, but the second time I did swipe and was chased down again. I guess having it happen three times consecutively got under my skin. I apologize about the confusion and edited the stars and the review.

When I moved to Maryland I was on the hunt for a decent gym and I am thankful I stumbled across fitness 19. This is the best gym I have ever been to. The staff were extremely nice and the gym was super clean. Everything from the equipment along with the vibes at fitness 19 just felt right, I had some of my greatest workouts there. Most importantly the kids room was amazing, my children couldn’t wait to go Karen was always sweet! Unfortunately, I had to move and miss my experience at this gym.

I typically never leave reviews, however, Im very disappointed in the communication and lack of customer service when trying to cancel my membership at Fitness 19. The experience was akin to selling a timeshare. With everything going on with COVID, I called and cancelled my membership at the end of February. The person who picked up the phone responded with ok especially when we were at the onset of the pandemic. I continued to get charged on my credit card throughout this time and on 08/10 I reached out to GP at Fitness 19 Elkridge and he said I would need to come in to cancel in person. He mentioned that the other person who told me ok did not understand the policy. So I immediately went to cancel with GK on 08/10 and GK verbally told me in person I would not be charged another membership fee. Well, today I received another membership due on 08/16 because I did not give 30 days notice (even when the customer service rep told me ok back in February). I spoke with Leah (manager) and she was not helpful. I realize we are in a pandemic but this is extremely shady in trying to squeeze every penny out in this difficult time.===============08/31/20 (10:20 PM Update)I appreciate the prompt response to my message. However, this does not resolve the problem and contradicts the statements by Fitness 19 representatives every time I called:End of February: Called to cancelled and was told it was ok and nothing needs to be done.August 10: After finding out I was charged $79.99 on my credit card for a few months of membership during COVID even after I called at the end of February to cancel, I was told by GK that I would need to come to the office to sign paperwork and that I would not be charge anything else after that and will look to giving a 50% refund on the $78.98 (that was billed on 07/20).August 31: Found out that I was charged another $19.99 since I was promised that my credit card would not be charged again and now to hear from Leah that it takes 30 days to cancel a gym membership. Yes, my bad for not knowing the rules and regulation of the gym membership (yes, it is like selling a timeshare), but the fact that I was told 3 different things by this franchise. I understand and tremendously value small businesses and support them wholeheartedly. However, I was told that there is nothing they can do and thats why I want other people understand what they are getting into if they are ever thinking about joining the membership, read the fine print and tape that to a place that you will remember it!I stand by my rating.

I like this gym! Lots of equipment and freeweights. Equipment is usually fully functional aside from a treadmill being down now and then for repairs (which doesn’t affect me because there’s plenty of working ones)It is an excellent gym. You are getting more than you pay for. Staff is friendly. Trainers aren’t cooped up in an office and they’re always there to answer questions.

Love this little gym. They have everything you need to get in a good workout and nothing you dont. Dont expect bells and whistles at this gym. But, what they do have is everything to build that beach body. The staff is super nice and they offer free towels and bottle of water on each visit. And, all for the low loslw price of $20 a month😎👍

Ive been going here for the past few months and its been such a great experience so far! The customer service and the friendliness of the employees is unmatched. They truly care about the customers and make sure your needs are fully being met. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are having a great experience. Scott and George have been two employees that Ive gotten to know since my time here, and they have been so friendly and caring. Definitely thankful for their service and support!

Fitness 19 and Mary Brown have literally changed my life. I lost my wife to cancer in 2013 and needed physical activity to relieve stress. I started training with Mary in October 2014 and it has been an awesome experience. I strongly recommend Fitness 19. It has a good vibe and not being a gym rat I feel very comfortable there. I feel better about myself and my life since I have been going there. Thanks to all over there, you are awesome.

I have never in my life ever been associated with such a large collective of people, who were dedicated to helping others attain a healthier body. The attitudes in this gym are incredible. As soon as you walk in you can sense the professionalism, but also the energy that is buzzing around. This energy is created by the staff and soon you will be part of a great experience should you drop by for a visit. I write this now as I have lost my 50th pound while under the guidance of a Fitness 19 trainer named Mary Brown. I absolutely would never have done what I have done without her help, support and experience. The other trainers in this gym are always available to help when needed. Choosing a trainer can be difficult as they are all so very qualified and so very willing. There is never that youre not my client so leave me alone attitude. The folks here are here to help you get healthy. This gym is worth every penny ten times over.G.K. Severn Maryland

Whenever I walk in I am greeted by the friendly staff and pleasant aroma of a clean gym. All the members are very friendly and supportive. If you are new to the gym you will get plenty help getting into a routine. The inbody scanner is very helpful for tracking progress. Overall the gym is a steal at 20$ a month.

Review №36

This is a decent place to work out. Machines are fairly worn and a lot of cushions are ripped but still fine to use. Every time I go about 1/3 of the treadmills and ellipticals are out of order. Its kept clean and even when its crowded theres usually enough space for everyone, which is nice. While membership *is* $19 a month there are also fees. For example you pay for your first and last month at the very beginning, so that if/when you cancel they can still get their moneys worth. Also you get charged an additional $40 a few months later so you can lock in the $19 price for the year, in case they decide to raise the price. Im not sure how likely they are to up the price so Im not sure if the charge is entirely worth it but its something to be aware of.

Been a member here since 2012. I joined because the monthly dues are very inexpensive and the equipment is the best you can get. This is a no frills gym but you can get a very good, efficient workout. The people that go here are friendly. The staff has always been very friendly and willing to answer any question you may have. Trainers will even give you free workout advice if you ask! I have a lot of friends here that Ive made over the years and you could too if you join us. Ive never had any issues with the maintenance of my membership either like other folks on here. You have to manage within the policy guidelines like any other gym. This place is legit.

Love this gym. It has to be my favorite. Everyone seems very friendly & are there for health not just getting buff. The only downfall is last time I came from out of state here I had to pay $30 for 3 days because they didnt have any special like last time where I only paid $20 for a week. I love working out here so not going to the gym wasnt an option just wish they had a better deal for people that dont live there and are only there for a few days.-Christa

Review №39

This gym is okay...there is no okay quality button so unfortunately I have to give this gym a poor-fair quality review. I go here pretty often and have been a member for over a year. When I first joined it was great. No pressure and a great deal. Lately though this gym has not been meeting my expectations. No one greets you at the door, even though there are 5 people standing behind the front desk. There is no place to stretch and the personal trainers tell you to move if you are the way of their client. I understand that room is limited but I was there first - I am also a paying customer. I mean this gym is fine if you are looking for a low price $9/month. But I wouldnt expect great customer service and god forbid actually getting on a machine and working out, or having space on the floor to stretch after your workout.

I have been a member for almost 2 years and I love it there. The gym is always clean, the equipment is in good shape, and the staff and trainers are very professional and encouraging. For what we pay as a family it is a super deal! The staff in the childrens room are very cheerful and my 2 yr-old loves going to the gym. The parking is never a problem and I never have to make a reservation for them to watch my children. This is a great gym to reach your goals with the personal training packages too. The trainers are always available to answer questions about fitness and nutrition and you never feel pressure by them to sign up for sessions. This is a great neighborhood gym.

Ive been going to fitness 19 for about 4 years. It has always been a solid gym that has everything you need to stay fit. Recently, Ive noticed an increased emphasis on the customer service. Most noticeably from an associate name George. George always gives me a kind greeting, and is constantly sprucing up the gym so that clients can have a clean and healthy workout. The focus on customer service really makes the difference between Fitness 19 and the other Gyms around. Thank you George and the Fitness 19 fam for you great gym experience over the years!

Review №46

Starting to slack on cleanliness and equipment maintenance. Mens room hand dryer has been busted for a month, almost never paper towels or anything to dry your hands off after use. Pretty unsanitary. The soap dispensers leak soap out the sides and are also broken.One of the elliptical units has been broken since the beginning of time while other are wobbly and feel like they could fall apart during use. Several other pieces of equipment are broken (cables) with no foreseeable fix in the future. Used to be a really nice gym but starting to reconsider now that I pay double for less. With as many employees there are around peak hours, youd think the restroom could at least be kept clean, but it rarely is. Tried addressing to a staff in person and got the Yeah, I feel you, totally. response which was pretty disrespectful.

It’s been little over a month since I joined Fitness 19 in Elkridge. Overall, I am happy with the facility and staff friendliness. However, I feel that there is a need to upgrade or repair some cardio equipments particularly treadmills. Also, some weight and strength machines need upgrade or repair as well that includes torn leather seats, missing or torn handle cushions.

Been a member for about 2.5 years. For anyone concerned about price, a better gym in our area does NOT exist. People that work there are all pretty nice, they know me by name. Equipment is always very clean. Its not a huge gym but Ive found the space to meet my needs, for the price point its definitely more than adequate. Bottom line, if you want to throw money away go somewhere else. You want a gym that fits your budget and your needs, Fitness 19 is the place.The real benefit I have received is from the personal training. After a few years of varying routines I was getting bored and frustrated that my lifting numbers stopped increasing. Ive been training with Michael Ebanks for about 3 months and now all my lift numbers have increased significantly (Frame of reference: Bench press was 325lbs approximately 20% higher at the moment) . He has introduced me to many different exercises and my progress has responded as a result. Additionally, I am having fun working out again and feel a renewed sense of achievement.Plain and simple, you want a decent place to go workout that wont break the bank, go to Fitness 19. You want to achieve a new level of athleticism go see Michael Ebanks for training. You wont regret it.

EDIT: Fitness 19 has claimed that my personal information was given to them when I toured their facility; I have never been to their facility. Before all the sales calls, I had never even heard of them. Yet somehow they have my phone, my email address, and my street address. Fitness 19 has assured me that I will not be marketed to further so I have removed the original review, at their request.UPDATE 6/16/2017 - Not even six days after being assured I would not be marketed to further and that my information would be removed from their system, Ive now apparently been enrolled in their automated text alerts. Absolutely unbelievable. Do business with this company at your own risk.

Review №58

Someone warned me about this gym and I should have listened. Management lays low and their responsibilities are left up to the Personal Trainers, who have little to no idea about how to resolve seemingly simple issues such as billing issues. I have been attempting to work with the gym staff for over a month as I have been charged for Personal Training sessions that I have not received because the trainers have been scheduling me more often than the schedule I informed them I need to follow. Even though I have signed a ticket to officially cancel PT, the charges still come out of my bank account and not once has any staff taken the time to look at the bank statements I bring in to offer for proof. The staffs agreed-upon response for such issues is you can just make up the sessions- I do not want this or need this but of course, thieves dont like giving up their money. They really are committing fraud as just today, I received an email that I have enrolled in their other classes, which I never enrolled in. They give themselves a bad reputation. If you are looking for a decent, professional, and organized place to exercise and focus on your well-being, please look elsewhere. It really shouldnt be this aggravating. I shouldnt taken this advice before.

Review №61

Joined this gym when it first opened and it was awesome. Has gone way downhill in the past few years. Its always crowded now, hard to get any machines or even space to do free weights. Also, the personal trainers take over several areas at a time (even for one person) so it takes away from the already limited space. It doesnt help that the kids room is in the same place that the classes are held so if you have kids you cant take classes. This place seems like a nice, convenient gym for a quick workout but dont be fooled, youll spend all your time waiting to do any bit of exercise. Not worth the money, for a few dollars more there are plenty of bigger gyms in that area that have much nicer amenities!

Review №72

Wow, what a disappointment our recent visit was to learn about the gym.The gym itself is nice, appears clean, and has adequate machines and weights. So far so good. Then it deteriorated from there:First, the child care space looks like a big padded cell and has no windows. It looks to be a bit of an afterthought. The rep told us that we can bring our 1-yr old and 3-rd old, and that they sometimes have as many as ten kids in there (he was vague) with one person watching them. Childcare in the State of MD requires a ratio of one teacher for three toddlers max, and I fear for my 1-yr old being trampled in there with ten kids that can range in age into the early teens, I believe we were told. While we are not interested in taking our kids there, theres a big question of legality and safety here for this operation that (potential) customers should consider.Their rates and their services were not online due to an apparent issue with the website as the rep at the location told us. The rep was very eager to sign us up for a plan he recommended. All I was initially interested in was the $19/mo plan. This gets you access to the gym. You may additionally get a wipe to clean your machine and you may use the locker (bring your own lock) and the restroom Thats about it. Everything else is additional. Thats the fallacy of naming your business after what you charge before you realize you want or need to make more money and charge things such as a $39 annual charge to maintain the gym (his words, not mine). That should be absorbed in the monthly charge. Sign-up fees range from $99-$199 and are not negotiable because the sales staff apparently doesnt know whether they can, yet they know that all gyms in the US charge a signup fee - again, his words, not mine. Want to get a towel? Thats an extra plan or a higher sign-up fee if I recall. Same for Wifi.The rep couldnt give out his pricing sheet and he was reluctant to even let us take notes. Worried Id shop it around?! Just plain bad.When you put all the fees together and get a true monthly value for what they offer, their plans may not be bad, especially since its month-to-month and does not have an annual commitment (one good aspect), but its terrible to nickle and dime and push sales. Its sales 101 gone wrong here, and thats what motivates customers to pay more for a gym where they dont get hassled.In conversation with a friend, who was a member for quite a while, this all used to be different and better. Sadly, I cant become a customer here under these circumstances.

Its a decent gym for the price. The gym is clean, the equipment is decent, and the staff leave you alone which I like. I used to go to Exercise Nation years ago before they closed and I hated going there because the staff would keep trying to sell you on personal training. There is nothing that I hate more than someone trying to sell me something so I would cringe every time I worked out and a staff member approached me with a sales pitch. Fitness 19 doest do that, they rarely acknowledge you which is great. The staff does a good job at cleaning the place and re-racking the weights.The only negative things I have to say about this place are some of the people who go there. You will occasionally find someone using the one and only squat rack for barbell curls. You heard it right, people will take up the whole squat rack just to curl. You will also find the occasional douche who doesnt re-rack his/her weights and just leaves it on the bar. Also, it sucks that there is only one squat rack.Lastly, to the guy who said he got his keys stolen, sorry it happened to you but you shouldnt have left them there. There is a rack by the bathroom where people can hang their keys on it. It really amazes me to see all of the people who leave their car keys on the rack. This rack is in a hallway which is out of sight from the rest of the gym. Why would you leave your keys there?! The way I see it, I can chose any car I want by simply taking a key and leaving with a new car. You people need to use common sense. They have plenty of lockers in the gym!

My fiancé and I have been members here for the past 4 years. You cant beat the price for what you get! If you dont go during peak hours, 5pm to about 7:30..8pm, you can always get the machines you want/need. My only complaint is that they took away very usable space for plyos, stretching, and ab work, etc. with the huge piece of equipment they put in a few months ago. Other than that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming and the facility is usually clean including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I moved out of the area a couple of years ago, and still continue to use Fitness 19. Neither of us have children, so we cannot comment on their childcare. We both highly recommend this gym!

Pros:- Fantastic staff - This is the most important quality I look for in the gym. Every time I come in, I am greeted by one of the employees who are always legitimately interested in how I am doing. I have built up a friendly relationship with each of the staff- Cleanliness - During the day and every night you can see the staff going over ALL of the equipment, reracking the weights, and cleaning the bathrooms. I dont see this in many gyms.- Equipment Condition - For some reason this gym has an issue with members breaking the equipment but they get it fixed relatively quickly and you can be assured if a pad is broken, it is quickly repaired.- Amount of weights - The gym has weights that go up to 110 lbs and they are actually accurate weights (you wouldnt think this could be in issue but it is)- Facility - They have a nice breakdown of equipment which allows me to hit every muscle group (even unfortuantely leg day)- Training staff - The personal trainers here are great and are always pleasant and able to help you out if you are struggling. You can tell their commitment because when they are with their clients, the client is the sole focus of their attention.- Free samples - About once a week, the staff will give away free samples of supplements to let you try before buying. They are a little pricey but I have bought multiple kinds because they are good and I like to support my gym (#FreeMarketAtWork)Cons:- Gym size - This is a popular gym. There are a lot of people here during the packed after work hours. It makes it almost impossible to lift between 5 and 7 but that is understandable. This gym needs to expand to accomodate more people but I have a feeling that is coming soon.- Wifi - The wifi here is iffy and crashes throughout the day. While it isnt terrible it is an annoyance. I have heard that they are trying to fix it though so I am waiting patiently.- No showers - I would love to lift before work but I sweat- Equipment repair time - While it is great that they replace the equipment, sometime it takes forever. We went almost a week with 1 flat bench (that was rough).All in all the reason I gave 5 stars even with the cons I had listed is because they gym staff cares about their people. If you have a complaint, they will make sure it is addressed and will genuinely take your feedback. The owner and his wife are at the gym occasionally and dont hesitiate to interact with the members such as myself. The cons I have listed are just inconvieniences so I wont remove any stars.My experience here has been nothing short of stellar. I just moved to the area, walked right in, and told them I wanted to sign up. I could tell from the quality of the staff that this was the place to be. You can join this gym and become part of a community. When I get here I see friends as well as get a good pump. We all know that pump is important in our neverending quest for gainz.Hope this review has been helpful and if you have any questions please dont hesitate to reach out to me.

Chris is unprofessional: I never, ever, ever post reviews. Not my thing if I could do 0 Stars I would. I had a terrible experince the first time that entered the Gym. For starters, no one was at the front desk to greet new guest or current guest. I stood there waiting for 5 mins before the young man would come from back and greet me. By that time I had already signed myself up on the computer as a guest an was awaiting a tour or information. The young man then greeted me and gave me a tour of the gym and asked if I would like to workout. Of course I would its a gym duh. I asked for the wifi password the young man stated I must sign up for the gym to use the wifi. You wouldnt buy a car without a test drive? So why would I purchase a memebership without testing out the wifi? Am I going to steal guest information over the wifi? I get it, So if I purchase a memebership then it become ok to steal information over wifi.. Hints this is not a security issue at all. More of a power trip. Mind you there are 3-5 gyms in the area. Now its a matter of principle. My Fiance likes the Windows at Fitness 19. So she pressed me into giving Fitness 19 another shot. No big deal I can forgive one bad experience . Maybe someone had a bad day. So in between the first and second visit im getting follow up calls to come back to the gym for a $29.99 @ siging and a month deal. I was never told that this was a promotion. My Fiance and I finally agree to come back to Fitness 19. I see the young man that I incountered the last time i came in to the facility. We got along great this time, UNTIL we went over the options as for what our monthly installment will be. The Young man then stated that the plan was no longer available and they now have new equipment so the price has gone up. Im not using that equipment so why the hell do I have to pay for it? The young man then lied to my face and told me that he mentioned to me that the price may go up if more equipment is added to the GYM? Huh!!! No Thank You Buddy. So I did what I believe is fair. The customer is not always right. That does not mean that the employee deserves the right to hang up and speak aggressively to potential client. Maybe I am wrong and Chris is the owner. If Chris is indeed the owner, and this is his attempt to keep like minded individuals like himself in his gym. So today I resent my inquiry with a note. Not to waste either of our time. It stated I wanted the deal that I was promised by whoever kept harassing and blowing up my phone. So this morning Chris calls. Chris says hey I seen your note and we are not offering this deal anymore its $39.99. I stated to Chris,that a couple(2) out of the few competitive gyms in the area that are within distance from my home and I would take my business elsewhere if this deal could not be done as promised. Chris then magically transformed into a parrot and repeated everything I said. Chris stated oh so you rather go to gym(A+B) good luck then hung up on me while I was still speaking to him. I was just trying to pick a gym that would be a happy medium for myself and my fiance. Im in no super rush to pull the trigger on a gym being new to the area. This just is not a great welcoming place. Better coaching and training is required for sure.

Joined beginning of 2015 and tried to do traning sessions but the trainers kept on changing. Started zumba classes and those stopped too. Finally wanted to cancel in april, but the staff member told me i could put it on hold so did that instead (BIG MISTAKE). I called them november 14th just to make sure i would not start getting charged and the person i spoke to said that my acct was on hold and i was not due to be charged anytime soon. Found out on my bill early december i was charged for nov and dec and they were totally not helpful when i went in december to do paperwork to cancel. They gave me the managers add and i emailed him but have not heard back. I wouldnt recommend anyone to join this gym..take your money elsewhere guys..theres a lot of good gyms in the area.
