Fitness 19

Clean gym with reasonable prices. It gets a little crowded at peak hours (when the high school lets out and after work rush) but you get that anywhere. They have a great selection of machines and a ton of cardio so you don’t often have to wait for a treadmill.
It would definitely be an awesome perk if they got wifi but if that’s my only complaint I’ll take it!
I haven’t had a chance to check out the classes but I know other people at the gym that love them all.
Definitely worth what you pay and then some.

This gym is awesome. I haven’t found another gym as affordable and as nice. With the monthly dues so low, I feel that I am definitely getting my money’s worth, even if I am only able to go a couple times a month. And even for the distance I travel, it’s totally worth it.

Gym is good and affordable. They have lot of machine. There is no waiting on machine.

Pretty good gym especially for the price! it can get busy during the peak hours but besides that there there’s been no issues. classes are extra so make sure you add those if you want them! guest pass is only $ 5 if you want to bring someone who doesn’t have a membership

Good deal. I signed up for $ 9 per month and another $ 5 per month for classes and multi-​club use. So for a total of $ 14 per month is a good value and the rates are locked in if you pay a $ 29 initial payment. If you live in Newbury Park it’s probably your best option. The only other gym in town is the YMCA which is a lot more expensive and way less machines. Fitness 19 is pretty basic, a «no thrills» sort of gym, but if it’s close to where you live it’s worth it for the low price. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Better location, better equipment

As far as the Gym goes its a lot better then the Oxnard location that I was going to before. Hands down no contest. That’s why I’m giving the gym 5 stars.
The staff at the Oxnard location is a lot friendlier. They all know me by name and say hi. I have yet to hear a single word from anyone at this location. That being said it a gym I go there to work out not socialize. Just mentioning it because I thought it might bother some people

I am always very impressed by the staff of Fitness 19, but I would like to recognize three staff members in particular that I dealt with this week.
Andrew, a manager at Fitness 19 helped me greatly this morning over the phone. I had a billing issues where I was charged an amount on the wrong card of mine. Andrew was very patient and apologetic about the problem. He even called the other Fitness 19 in Camarillo for me to communicate with them about the billing issue. He went above and beyond what I expected and it was greatly appreciated.
Zack, who worked at the front desk tonight, was so patient and kind about booking me 22 personal training sessions that were all at different times and days of the week. Despite the traffic of other clients coming in and being the only associate at the desk, he helped me and every one else coming in throughly and in a respectful manner. Even when helping me he managed to say hello and goodbye to every person coming and going. I was so grateful he helped me book the sessions. It ended up taking about 35 minutes to book all of the appointments, so I greatly appreciate the time he took to help me.
Lastly, Chris. Chris is my personal trainer at Fitness 19 and he is amazing. Chris is always patient and motivating no matter what is thrown at him. He always changes up my work out so it is never boring and eases you into new things so I’m always comfortable. Chris is always extremely professional, yet very personable where you can tell him anything! I’m so thankful to have Chris as a trainer and highly recommend him to anyone trying to achieve ANY goal.

It blows my mind that people have complained about the staff not being friendly enough. Apparently they were expecting a Walmart-​style greeting and a glass of champagne as soon as they walked through the door.
I’ve found the staff to be delightful. They welcome you, assist you when you ask for help but they’re not breathing down your neck every second.
I workout with a personal trainer (Termeh) who is awesome at what she does! I highly recommend her if you want a trainer who will encourage you but also give you enough push to get you through that third set of Russian Twists.
The monthly fee is cheap and if you have a kiddo you can buy a monthly pass for the Kids Club, too. One monthly fee and you get unlimited access to the childcare room.
The gym is small but it’s clean. I’ve never had an issue getting a machine but I do go in the mornings so it’s not too crowded.
In a nutshell? Great staff, clean, and the childcare is awesome.

I love this gym. I find the staff to be very friendly and helpful. It is very clean. In fact, I see the staff cleaning the equipment often. Sure, a lot of high school kids frequent this gym, but they are well behaved and polite, most likely because it is Newbury Park after all.
Excellent machines/​equipment. They have an abundance of pulley machines which is great! Lots of great equipment and accessories and the room to put them all to work. Good music, great vibe. Can’t say enough good things. Truly.
You guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

I wanted to update my review:
I have noticed some improvement in the cleanliness since posting my review. It appears they bring in a staff to“heavy duty” clean equipment perhaps once per month. I still find machines dirty and the daily cleaning is surface only. Weekly thorough cleaning would be appreciated.
Fitness 19 is convenient and has quite reasonable monthly dues, however the place is not kept up as it should. The equipment is never cleaned properly. It makes me sad knowing it was all brand new 1 ½ years ago. The dirt in-​bedded on machines is unacceptable. They should take more pride in their investment.
Too many teenagers frequent the gym and «hang out».

The gym is clean and has a good variety of equipment and classes. However this gym falls short with their management and staff including their trainers especially the female trainer with purple/​pink hair. Staff is not friendly and very immature. In fact the trainer mentioned above is extremely manipulative and childish. She makes paying members feel unwelcomed and she uses her ‘trainer’ title to harrass members. The manager does not manage his staff. He admitted to the attitude of this trainer but obviously has not addressed it as this trainer continues her antics. Not worth the hassle to deal with this.

While I was a member of this gym I truly enjoyed it. The kids club is great and the staff there is very friendly and remembered my son’s name after a few visits.
This is one of the few locations that has showers in the bathrooms which is great.
I took many classes there, from cycle to yoga to Zumba and enjoyed them all. My favorite though is Cycle with Diane. She is fantastic and makes the hour go by quickly. She’s a great motivator and has great music choices.
I, unfortunately, moved out city and there isn’t a Fitness19 near me. I was worried as I had read online that it’s extremely difficult to cancel your membership with them and they often continue to draft from your account. This is NOT true. All I had to do was draft a letter letting them know I was giving 30 days notice for my cancelation and what day I wanted my 30 notice to start. I noted specifically what I wanted cancelled: my membership and my son’s kids club membership, and simply sealed it and dropped it off. I received confirmation via snail mail that they had received my letter and canceled my membership. They did let me know that my next month’s membership fee would be drafted but would be refunded to me, as my contract states.
I’m very sad to leave this gym and very highly recommend it.

I have been going to this gym since January of 2014. It’s a small but great gym and has a variety of usable of equipment, even there is only one of each (e.g. squat cage). There usually isn’t any problem getting a cardio machine, though. That said, if you come at the right times, you will find that you can get a solid, uninterrupted workout at your own pace. Going back to the equipment, it seems like they are always in good condition and usually clean. This place was perfect for my commute home from Camarillo to Encino.
Despite living in the Valley, I find myself going to this gym on the weekends because it’s airy (good ventilation) and is on the bright side (lots of natural light in the front). The monthly is inexpensive ($ 16?), which more than makes up for the cost of gas it takes to get there. I’d recommend this gym, but then again I wouldn’t want it to get any busier than it gets!

As of 12÷17÷14 — 4 Stars!
Most important info first. Pricing.
Either:
$ 12/​mo alternate days, one location. There are days on & days out (can’t remember the combo of days — but they are specific)
$ 17/​mo Everyday Every Location
+$ 5/​mo for group classes or $ 10 per class. You can try one for free.
$ 29 annual fee. Every January.
Today, we got a BOGO on the registration fee which was $ 95 because my husband and I signed up. I believe they have different promos throughout the year.
This pricing was when we signed up today. Not sure how often it changes.
They are straight forward about the charges. Zach went through the agreement but one thing stuck out: They GUARANTEE their monthly charge. Locked it in. My rate will never go up & they have you sign this in the agreement.
Zach also went through the cancellation process and recommends canceling before the 15^th of every month (their monthly dues autograft on the 15^th)
Also, they do a referral program. Every one person you sign up, $ 1 off up to $ 5 off. That’s pretty sweet.
I just started with them so if I ever do cancel I’ll tell you how it goes. I’m sure if it’s a bad situation we’d all hear about it.
Zach was cool & super informative! And he asked multiple times if you have questions. Kid’s got his customer service game on lock. Friendly and genuine.
TONS of cardio machines & multiple strength training machines. Some have more than one of the same. I’m into that.
Locker room looked clean but a little small. I saw notices about LOCKING UP YOUR BELONGINGS SO THEY DONT GET STOLEN (common sense) because some people have reported theft. Lock your shxt up and don’t leave your crap behind.
I will update this review when I start attending more often =)

I love this place! Always greeted by a friendly voice when walking through the door or calling on the phone. Everyone is very helpful as they are all there for the same reasons. Machines and atmosphere are clean, new and very inviting. Great place for a very low cost. Nothing is missing — truly. I was a «frequent flyer» at LA Fitness when I lived in CT — loved that they had a pool but I do not live anywhere near one out here so I am not at all disappointed as the only thing missing here is the pool. And the cost is so much cheaper each month. I hope to see more classes added soon as well — I have zero complaints!

It is pretty cheap and they renovated nicely after the last gym left. I can’t complain about the equipment and I love the new row machines!
One thing that I don’t like is the friendliness of the staff. I am greeted with a smile maybe 5% of the time I go in there. I am hardly ever acknowledged and I think it would be nice to have that warmth and friendliness.
Secondly, after I received my membership, I thought the prices would skyrocket soon after. I feel like there are constant flyers advertising a cheaper price than what I originally paid, but there may be some loopholes I am not aware of. I know I don’t pay that much, but it’s the principle.

Affordable and has great equipment. Lots of classes to choose from. Peter, the personal trainer is really good! Highly recommend him. His work out are effective and he knows his stuff.
Staff at fitness 19 NP is always very friendly and helpful!

Affordable rates, frequent promotions for good pricing between $ 12 – 16. The class instructors are really nice too. Staff is super friendly. Plenty of machines and weights.
And they sell snacks and drinks

Just joined this gym! Only 17/​mo!!! Can’t wait to lose weight and feel better about myself! The guy who signed me up is totally awesome and nice. I bought two training sessions and got two free :) check it out
