Fitness 19 has its pros and cons. I was surprised that this location did not have locker rooms, just restrooms and maybe a changing room. They have small lockers just outside of the restrooms, so do not plan on bringing anything to shower or a giant duffel bag full of personal items. Evening crowd was surprisingly overwhelming. a lot of teens and young adults who work out in groups of 3-4, often hogging the machines and free weights. However, after my first experience coming in here at 6:30pm, I decided to come early in the morning (6am), and the experience was so much more pleasant!! The machines are clean, only about 30 people in the gym, and I had access to everything before I start my day at work. So far, so good. read more

I don't understand why fitness 19 gym members are so uncivilized. Men who take a shit there wipe their ass and throw the toilet paper on the side of the toilet with shit on it. Be better and civilize men. We're men and not animals. Staffs here are great and don't be a jackass and make them do shitty work like picking up your toilet paper with shit stains on it read more

BREACH OF CONTRACT or SCAM My contract agreement says $7/month. Since 4/26/2022, I was being charge $7/month as it was stated on the agreement contract. But since September 2024 I was automatically charged $8 on my credit card. I was never notified or in any agreement with anyone or any written statement. After I noticed the unauthorized charges, I reached to the gym via email (twice) and in person to get a refund or reimbursement. The gym never responded to my email. I personally went to the gym and asked about the unauthorized extra charge. The mgmt staff verbally stated today that it was because of the "RECESSION" or "INFLATION" I Lmao Recession or inflation wasn't the customers fault, not in the contract and I was never notified or in agreement of any form. Also today, i was charged extra $10 for a late monthly automatic credit card fee. I was never late since April 2022. It just happened that my credit card expired a couple of days ago. I was only behind for 3 days! After I was notified at the gym that my credit card expired, I paid my dues immediately within 5 seconds. I was still charged for late fees. No grace period... read more

Almost a week after I wrote my initial review and now all three stairmasters are broken and have yet to be fixed, including the out of service treadmills and strength training machines that have been out of service for weeks on end. There's a bathroom stall that has been out of service for MONTHS with caution tape over it. Don't think they plan on fixing that either. Whoever closes the gym at night doesn't care to clean. When you come in the morning there is equipment left out in the open everywhere in random and unsafe places, unracked weights, open beverages on the floor, etc. Finding a new gym to join immediately because the people who run this place clearly don't care to maintain the gym for their paying clientele. read more

Me and my son (11) signed up and the staff is awesome! I got my son a personal trainer named Christian and he so sweet! He is patient with my son and asks him how school was. He motivates him and cheers him on! I am 100% satisfied. The gym members are also very nice. read more

Been a loyal member here for many years... despite the crowd and dirty gym, I was still waiting for covid to be over... they opened for a brief 6 weeks( which I never went) but I realized they charged me a monthly/annual fee( which they were closed again). Upon opening after closing from COVID, I asked my account to be frozen for another 60 days and if my annual fee can start after the 60 days since I honestly haven't went all year..... I get a mouthful from an employee calling me the wrong name, telling me how it was my responsibility and I should've know and too bad basically. I was explaining ho From loyal customer to canceling my membership. Hopefully that will be easier then just asking them to delay my annual fee... read more

This is a smaller gym whose claim to fame seems to be its impossibility to locate within its shopping complex in Daly City (it's located ~behind and under Burlington Coat Factory). Regardless, this place is kept neat and clean and the management blessedly keeps the speaker volume low. This F19 location doesn't have traditional lockerooms but small day public lockers and a changing area. My only substantive gripe is the lack of lower poundage weights...there's far too few and people fight over them (I'm talking in the 10-30lb range). Otherwise, I'd say have fun and enjoy your workout so you can go shopping afterwards. read more

The cancellation process was supposed to be a email I sent 2 and they said it would be canceled within the month it's been 2 months and they keep pulling money and they said I have to go in person and follow a link which is a joke it should be over the phone I talked to a guy named Kevin he seemed to understand, he said the manger Howard would be in and he would give me all the info I need read more

This location is rather small, but its still a decent place to get your workouts in. If you like to workout early they open at 5:00AM on weekdays. But don't expect them to be open on time. In fact, expect to wait an extra 15-45 min for them to open. They've hired so many new staff over the years but most, if not all of them are unable to open on time. We all complain to "management" about this, but nothing changes. If you like to workout at any other time of the day, expect this gym to be very busy. Because of its size, everyone is very cramp inside and the ventilation is very poor. I would love to see Fitness 19 step up and take over one of the other unoccupied buildings in the shopping center to make for a better gym. read more

Decent gym good equipment nice employees small space makes for bumping elbows left and right. They moved all the equipment closer together to make way for a turf track about a year ago. I have to wonder if it's against fire code. read more

This gym turned out to be a disappointment, at least once a month the best machine in my opinion the stairmaster will be broken up to a week. But also, other machines will break down and it will take a while before they get fixed as well. There has been multiple times that the cleaning supplies for the machines will not be available and today March 4, 2024. The gym was not open at 5 AM like it is supposed to and I waited until 6:20 AM before I gave up. I got tired of waiting in the cold. Of course there is the usual inconveniences that come with a gym. For example, people don't clean up after themselves by wiping down the machines after they use it. Also, there will be multiple friends hanging around one particular machine just hogging it up but this usually happens after 5 PM till close and of course you'll have those individuals that would just sit at a machine and play on their phone for a long period of time. I wouldn't recommend this gym and once my one year membership expires I will cancel this and never come back. read more

Wish the groups of young men wouldn't crowd around each machine and monopolize them. Wish they would keep the volume down as well. It is not a playground. Wish wifi was more reliable. Wish they would turn the music down. We all have our own music to enjoy as it is. read more

Cancelled my account after being put 25 mins on hold. Finally given all my info so I could log on and cancel it. I My account has been "pending cancel" for about a week.

Shady big business practices by the corporate side. read more

Read the fine print and make sure to have clear responses if you should feel the need to cancel your membership for any reason. I cancelled due to overcrowding / safety concerns and am getting other information that I was not aware of prior to joining this location. read more

Ari Htut is an amazing PT. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about fitness. Her sessions can be intense because she wants her clients to do well, but her motivational style, individualized/targeted workouts, and attention to detail make each session both challenging and enjoyable. I saw remarkable results while working with her, and she not only helped me achieve some of my strength goals but taught me about things I didn't even think I would need to focus on but ended up making a huge difference! She's the kind of dedicated teacher who really helps you develop your own knowledge, skills, and style and I'll always be grateful for my sessions with her! All of the staff at this gym were very friendly during the time that I went here and brought a nice vibe with excellent customer service. Howard the manager also goes above and beyond to make the gym a safe and enjoyable environment. Thank you!!! ‍ read more

Dear Fitness 19, thank you for helping me surpass my fitness goals this year and creating a space where anything is possible. On June 23rd, 2021, Hazim provided a thorough tour and addressed my concerns with ease when I became a member. Being in your facility gave me the feeling that I would accomplish great things. That day I took an InBody test; my weight was 208.8 lbs, my total body water was 107.7lbs, dry lean mass of 40.6lbs, and a body fat mass of 61lbs. The challenge was losing 16.8lbs so my body could have ZERO body fat mass. Since joining, I have been able to work with two excellent personal trainers Frank and Cedric, giving words of wisdom from Howard while being guided and helped by mindful, pleasant, and friendly staff members. Even though I am an oddball, I have been embraced, educated, and challenge since becoming a fitness 19 member. Frank and Howard taught me proper form, exercise foundations, breathing techniques, health food tips, and how to focus the mind so the body can surpass its limitations. On July 29th, 2021, I took my second InBody Test; my weight was 201.6, and my Body Fat Mass was now 14.1. I had lost 7.2 pounds by going to the gym 5-6 times a week, changing my eating habits, and meeting with my trainer once a week. On August 11th, 2021 weighed in at 197.5lbs and my body mass at 13.4lbs. After my 3rd Inbody began working with Cedric because I listened to Frank and Howard, I was challenged by Cedric's weekly workouts and incorporated them into my gym routines. On September 17th, 2021, I weighed in at 191.1lbs with a body fat mass of 0lbs. These results shattered my reality; it cemented why I became a member at this Fitness 19 establishment. I didn't think I could show up for myself consistently and with discipline to get better results. Although I no longer have a personal trainer, I have enjoyed my membership and the environment. On December 13th, 2021, I completed my final InBody test for the 2021 year; my weight is 179.2, total body water of 101.4 lbs, a dry lean mass of 37.7lbs, and a body fat mass of 40.1 lbs. I have lost 29.7 lbs since becoming a fitness 19 member on June 23rd, 2021. Anything is possible when you control your mindset and place yourself in an environment to be pushed to achieve all great things. Thank you kindly for your tremendous work fitness 19, With love, Abigail S read more

I love this gym. The staff is wonderful and the gym, while small, is always clean. Everything is usually in its place, not only because of conscientious staff members, but also because of a good number of conscientious clients who put things back where they belong. It's a down-to-earth kind of gym, nothing boutique about it, and as such, I have never felt self-conscious working out there. For the most part, everyone there, staff and clients alike, are polite and considerate. The best part of the gym however, and the main reason I love it so much, is because of my trainer, Nazim. He really is one in a million not only for his ability to make me do things I never thought possible, but for the kind and caring way he goes about it. He is quietly encouraging while taking it as a matter of course that I can lift that 115 lb barbell he has just set at my feet. He knows I can do it well before I know I can do it! (Just to give you some background, I am a 67 year old woman who could barely lift a weightless bar when I started). I also had issues with my balance when I started, but that has improved remarkably due to my work with Nazim. And, as an added bonus, Nazim is delightful to talk with and he is always up for a good laugh. I used to dread my workouts, but since working with Nazim, I look forward to the days when I will see him and practically fly into the gym, ready for anything (except burpees - there is no one on the planet who will make me like burpees). In short, if you want to workout in a clean, no-nonsense gym, come here. If you want one the best trainers you can have, ask for Nazim. (And if you are interested in yoga, Kono's class is the best, bar none.) read more

out of all the locations this one is the worst is dirty big groups of people taking hours in the machines , the other locations have a friendly environment this one is just the worst vibe and smells so bad pretty much everything is old and rusty i saw them replace some machines but i mean the whole thing is really old , but mostly the worst part is the feeling of the gym a lot o people told me about and i didn't believe it but yeah this place is bad read more

Cancellation process is a pain in the a**. This gym is nothing but a headache. Worst gym which is probably why it's so cheap. If you're in the market for a gym and considering Fitness 19 do your self a favor save yourself a headache. If I could give this place zero stars I would. I've had nothing but problems with this place. read more

If you are looking for a small crowded hot gym , then this is the right place for you! Have witnessed a few workout goers pass out due to the heat levels in the gym. Machines are constantly breaking down. Limited machines. Highly not recommended read more

Came here with a trial pass to check out this gym. This gym is hard to find. It is actually in the alley behind the parking structure. Unfortunately, that alley just smells like hardcore piss UGH GROSS. Inside, there's a large amount of machinery except some aren't maintained well. When I tried to adjust it, the machine wouldn't stay cause it's been so beat down. Currently they're running a promo but their lock in fee is still $49. That's crazy. It doesn't really matter if their monthly dues are slightly cheaper Not sure if I would like to get a membership here. It does have its pros and cons... but maybe other gyms have the same amount as well? I got to say I have been to larger gym that was cheaper in every aspect as well so based on that this place is not worth. read more

Fitness 19 - Current promo. Dunno for how long tho - Gyms Near Me - Daly City, California

Long time ago, I used to be a member of this gym for about a year. Things have definitely changed since I last went. First off, I'm no longer that cardio only girl ;) I came home for the holidays and I heard about this being the only gym staying open during the pandemic. I really needed to workout, so I wanted to give this place a shot. They didn't do guest passes but they offered a $20 day pass which I thought was VERY VERY steep. However, for some reason, I was able to sign up online for a 3 day trial. The place was still what it used to be, underground the Westlake Mall. Reception was still sucky as ever. Luckily I had some downloaded music so I was okay. I had my gear ready and I was prepared to do some deadlifts. HOWEVER, the racks were occupied and there was no room. I was willing to wait a bit until it freed up, but it never did ..... I gave up and I just decided to work on other things instead. NOT a fan. It was WAYYYYY too crowded and circulation was poor. I also didn't really see much "cleaning" up of the machines. It just didn't feel like a safe environment to be working out. I just didn't feel really good after my workout and I can't imagine seeing myself here again. They're known to have relatively inexpensive monthly fees, but I'd rather pay more for the quality. read more

I joined over a year ago and never used the facility. I tried to cancel by phone but was advised to come in person. Therefore, went to the gym and I cancelled with a young woman at the front desk. The following month I got another monthly charge, and shortly after, charged an additional 2 months dues. I called the ph# and the woman said all those fees were in my contract. I have disputed those charges with my credit card company. They have since called me to advise there is a "problem" with my credit card. read more

Overall 5 Star during and before the pandemic, even when we are in lock down. The fitness center keeps their business open. I disagree with the recent negative reviews about this place. STAY THE F*** HOME, quit your whining about this place and the San Bruno location because nobody cares. For sure I don't. I'm forever grateful it remained open during the lock down until someone reported to the San Mateo County Health that it was open but a day ago on December 31, 2020 it's now closed there door to the public. Important note: When it was still open. I was coming to this location the employees always enforced mask regulation, in and out the gym, monitoring everyone on the floor when someone has their mask on or not and they will come and let you know. Checking-in the front desk check your temperature. The staff monitors 6' social distancing and in addition to 10% capacity limitations. Overall, I give it a 5 STAR. read more

Too many times, the worker comes in late. I go here at 5am just to realize they not open due to homie tardiness. Woke me up for nothing

It's 515am and this place is supposed to be open at 5am. 9 of us are out here waiting to start our workout and the opener is no where to be seen . we all have limited time in the morning and every minute counts for us this is unacceptable. This is not the first time this happened. To make it even worse the street cleaner is kicking up a bunch of dust out here. All of our dues should be comped for the month . maybe that will light a fire under somebody's ass . some people are already leaving due to the tardiness of the employee . I never had this problem with planet fitness read more

Good gym with basic necessities for powerlifting. The manager Howard is a cool guy who is attentive to members' needs.

Not all Fitness 19s are the same, and this one is definitely the worst location I've been to. The space is very small and cramped, the machines are basically stacked on top of each other. I understand they are trying to fit as much equipment as they can into a small space, but prepare to be staring straight at someone's face or body part when working on the machines The actual machines are very old, most of them squeak or have visible rusting metal. Most of the weight machines have cracked leather or leather with holes where you can see through to the hard stuffing. This gym is in desperate need of an update! One good thing about the gym is that despite the small space, they still managed to fit in a turf area. The workers here are also super nice and friendly! It's just the facility itself that deserves the two stars. Will keep coming here because of its proximity to my place and the price point, but wouldn't actually recommend it to anyone unless they live close! read more

Having been a member of various gyms over 15 years is either hit or miss. I've been a member of Fitness 19 for over 7 years now, and although there may be better gyms out there, I really enjoy this one for a few reasons. First is the affordability. Granted, I was a member of this gym from almost its inception. I pay a pretty small amount of money per month with the annual community fee to help support the gym, which is not a problem. For what this gym has (weights, exercise room, treadmills, ellipticals, etc), I really enjoy the value. If you're looking for a racquetball or basketball court in the gym, you may have to look elsewhere. Personally, I do that with friends on my personal time away from the gym so this doesn't bother me at all. This gym also has nice community feel to it. The guys who work here are pretty cool especially Sean L, who is one of the trainers. I actually injured my back on my birthday last year and he rushed over to help me do some exercises so that it wouldn't tighten up so much. Kudos to you Sean! In addition, I've run into co workers and guys from my past here, and it's always fun catching up to them during a workout. There are also quite a few classes such as Zumba and cardio kickboxing being offered in the small, hardwood exercise room towards the back of the gym. While I've never participated in any of these classes, my friends who have really enjoyed the 50 minute run time you get here. It also brings more life to the gym as I've seen anywhere from 12 - 24 people attend these classes at any given time. Last is the ambience. There's now a Target along with the established Trader Joe's and Safeway nearby, so if you forgot to bring that shake, protein bar, or healthy snacks, you're in luck. There are quite a few gyms I've been to where you may need to go a distance to grab stuff, but in this area you are literally within walking distance. Also, there is an extended quote on the wall that's been there since I first joined which is a cool motivator when you're taking breaks in between reps. Nuff said, can't wait to come back here when Life comes back to us! Stay safe and be healthy! read more

Be very careful if you consider getting a membership here. They have the most predatory cancellation process I've ever seen for a gym. Their excuse is "it's in the contract, bla bla." I don't know anybody who actually reads the fine print, so they get away with this stuff legally. Would not recommend at all, though. read more

Working with Cedric he's a great personal trainer! The facility is small but gets the job done.

UPDATE 11/14/23: now they have gotten a debt collector to reach out to me to pay for a balance that I shouldn't need to pay for after signing me up w/o my consent, AFTER I told them almost 2-3 years ago that I wanted to cancel my membership? I'm gonna have to waste my resources to just hire a lawyer for this. read more

My wife and I came here for the introductory 1 week trial. The gym in my opinion is basic with universal type machines, free weights, cardio machines, stair master, epitical machines, bike machines and a room for classes; kick boxing, Zumba type classes, which appear to be popular. It is a cheap month by month and they have a one time initiation fee which I am not quite sure about. There are trainers that do personal training, They have lockers, bring your own lock, no showers, sauna, pool, Basic work out club. Not far from my residence is one of the selling points for me. read more

Cheap gym, but after factoring in the annual membership fee they charge yearly on top of your monthly dues, it's actually on overpriced gym in contract to what they offer. I had and issue when I tried to pause service 2 separate times. I found out my service was never paused and I they almost took me to collections. I was also overseas so I had no way of knowing such until I randomly checked my voice messages on my USA phone. If you have a reliable transportation, find an alternative. read more

After having a membership here for 2 years, I would like to give my initial review an update. Over the years they made improvements to the gym, such as moving equipment around and getting rid of the kids room to create more space. The old kids room spot became a room with 2 hydro massage chairs, which was a huge waste of space on my opinion and they don't allow weights in the room. Some of the broken equipment was replaced. As for customer service, most of the older staff like Grady and Bryson are really friendly and are always willing to answer questions. Recently, I noticed they hired a lot of new staff members and trainers. These new hires are very reluctant to help or acknowledge you, unless you decide to do business with them. I was approached by a trainer waiving me to get off a piece of equipment before I even finished my first set which was super rude of them. If your trainer asked if they can work in, then it would of been a different story, but instead wanted the equipment for the client. Seriously, just because you work here as a trainer doesn't mean you own the entire gym. If management wants encourage trainers to save equipment for their clients and prevent other members from using it, then consider giving your trainers signs to reserve equipment. I'm sure other members would not be too happy, since the gym is already small enough and limited in equipment. Not going to use any names, but a hint is one of the two recently hired trainers. Maybe management can talk some sense into them. The people who treat the equipment badly at this gym are usually the employees, since the signs that are posted don't mean much if you work there. read more

I've been coming to Fitness 19 for three years I love the Zumba classes they are amazing and it's a nice place to work out but the Wi-Fi sucks there's never any good Wi-Fi and the membership is $20 a month and when you get there there's no Wi-Fi and even though you have the password the Wi-Fi still doesn't work and I feel like they should do better so I'm not happy about the Wi-Fi otherwise the the classes are amazing Zumba rocks and the kickboxing rocks read more

Affordable gym, next to parking structure, well equipped gym - Always packed from 3/4pm to 6/7pm and squat racks and free weights are usually occupied which is a bit frustrating. But I guess thats the same with any gym. - always smells like a basement which is fitting cause it is in a basement, could have better ventilation though - difficult to get around the cardio equipment(especially around the ellipticals and bikes and more so when someone is using the equipment in that area) - could have more papertowel and disinfectant stations. Locations that it is placed now is not super central. 2 by the weights, one by the guest desk and one inside the studio. For some reason, the dispensers are usually empty or low. Wish the staff would restock without having to ask. read more
