Here's what we love about Fitness 19

They offer great value pricing at many of their locations. While the amenities might be somewhat minimal, it's a solid choice if you're in search of a straightforward gym experience that won’t strain your budget.

  • Competitive pricing options include $10 monthly memberships offered at various locations.

  • Parents can easily stay active while keeping an eye on their little ones at Fitness 19. Around 25% of their locations provide this family-friendly option, totaling 19 gyms.

  • Fitness 19 is undergoing a rebranding of their website, featuring refreshed amenity descriptions, genuine gym images, and, most importantly, updated location information. This transformation likely reflects the various franchise groups within the Fitness 19 network.

Here are the things we wish Fitness 19 would improve

Although Fitness 19 is effective for many individuals, there are several aspects we would like to improve.

  • There is now a clearer understanding of the ownership of Fitness 19 clubs. Clubs located in California are branded as fit19.com, featuring updated designs and more amenities. In contrast, clubs outside of California operate under the fitness19.com name, which tends to have less detailed information and fewer features.

  • Fitness 19 clubs offered pools as part of their amenities, along with steam rooms and hot tubs. However, none of their locations actually feature these facilities.

  • Having even one location operating around the clock would give them an edge in competing with several other gym chains that are also open all night.

How much does it cost to join Fitness 19?

Fitness 19 gyms are currently facing an identity crisis with two distinct websites: www.fit19.com, which is modern, informative, and well-maintained, and www.fitness19.com, which contains outdated content and lacks essential details. Here’s our assessment: it seems that various ownership groups or franchisees are managing their own clubs (and corresponding websites), which impacts pricing. We examined three locations in California—Daly City, Danville, and West Covina—on fit19.com and discovered the following pricing: 

  • $14.99 for Basic (single club access)
  • $24.99 for Premium Plus (access to all clubs)
  • $245 to $265 for Premium Plus (annual access upfront)

The Premium Plus membership includes hydromassage, indoor cycling, group fitness classes, weekend guest access, tanning, and red-light therapy. Opting for the annual payment upfront offers significant savings, dropping the price from $349.98 (which combines the monthly fee of $24.99 for 12 months plus a $49.99 annual fee) down to a mere $245 or $265—resulting in an impressive 25% discount, nearly $100 saved. We then checked pricing on fitness19.com for their locations in Katy, TX, and Malverne, NY, where they offer:

  • $10 for Basic with a $99 enrollment fee
  • $19 for Full Access with a $99 enrollment fee, which includes only group fitness and spin classes.

A visit to the second site reveals a stark contrast in amenities, services, and features—it's almost as if you're looking at an entirely different gym! This discrepancy is crucial when assessing a gym's value—stay tuned as we delve deeper into our findings.

  • A yearly fee of $49 will be charged 60 days after you sign up. Following that, you'll be billed annually on the same date each year.
  • The enrollment fee varies between the two options: (fit19.com) and (fitness19.com). We've observed that the former offers a fee of $0, while the latter charges $99.

Final thoughts โ€” Is worth it?

Most individuals may not recognize the distinction between the two "companies" under the Fitness 19 brand, as their locations tend to be separate. However, it's clear that the gyms and their overall costs do vary significantly. Despite being categorized as a budget fitness chain, Fitness 19 offers all the essential amenities you would expect, such as free weights and cardio equipment. As a result, their pricing generally falls within the affordable range of $10 to $14.99. If you opt for the $19.99 to $25 Plus membership, you can access additional perks like group fitness classes and massage services. While this pricing bracket brings them closer to Crunch Fitness, the amenities may not be quite as extensive.
