Very happy with my experience here. The gym is right off rt 100, a perfect location for a gym. I would definitely recommend it.

Generally come to town 3-4 times a year and grab a weekly pass. They don't issue a scan card and there's no app to scan in with. Weekly pass holders have to come during staffed hours- cool. Staff is almost never at the desk or on the floor and several times they have been sleeping in the office- so you wait or you go workout. Occasionally they spring from the office and check your credentials like you stole something. This could be remedied with a card or better way to scan in. Terrible interaction with the staff today. Will find a new part time gym going forward. I travel weekly for work- been to more than 30 different Crunch Fitness locations this year and never had this problem. read more

We're from the area, but we live in Texas. When we come back to visit family a couple of times a year we always get weekly passes at Fitness 19, which we did on Saturday when we got to town. We prepaid, signed waivers and thought we were good to go for the week. This morning (Monday) we were rudely pulled from exercise equipment by a different associate to make sure that we had paid. My name couldn't be found in the system because it was misspelled and my waiver was also not able to be found. I don't like how we were treated suspiciously because of their mistakes. True, we only visit and use the gym a few times a year, but we will move back to town and won't be choosing this gym- poorly run! You don't embarrass paying clients because the information was not entered correctly by your employees. read more

Dirty equipment. A lot of treadmills don't work. Equipment in disrepair. Equipment is dirty. Head manager (black gentleman with a gray beard) is a total jerk. He's rude, arrogant and has ZERO customer service skills. ​what little positives the gym has are quickly negated by this individual being present on the floor. Plenty of other MUCH BETTER gyms in the area. Stay away from this one. read more

Fitness 19 - Elkridge - Urinal broken AGAIN. Out of order for 2 weeks. Too bad membership fees doen't get reinvested into basic repairs. Laziest staff ever. - Gyms Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

Very few machines. The staff allows and even participates in bad gym etiquette namely hogging the equipment. Trainers stand around and hog machines with the "clients" chit chatting and goofing around while other people are waiting on the few machines they have. This is not a real gym. read more

Nice location and works perfect for me but, they do not seem to care how the equipment functions. There is a stationary bike, they only have two, that hasn't worked properly for over a year and I complain about once a month and others complain as well. They just don't seem to care. read more

I've been a member at Fitness 19 off and on since 2016 - about 5 years. Before new management, I paid $10/month as a black card member. When rejoining, I understood the increase in price and was willing to pay the $19.99/month regular membership given my familiarity with the gym and social environment. Compared to the adult monthly costs at YMCA, it still seemed fair. Having said this, I still find myself wondering how my $60 annual maintenance fees are being used. Machines have been broken for months, toilet paper holders have been ripped off the walls in the bathroom stalls, a quarter inch of dust and dirt lies between the treadmills, sanitizer wipes are constantly empty, and cushion padding is ripped on most machines. Additionally, I often wonder if the air filtration system does not work properly given the glass windows are awfully foggy when the gym is crowded. During times like these where masks are mandated, it's upsetting the gym staff is not doing their part as well. This place is sentimental to me -- where I learned to lift and fell in love with the gym. Very disappointed in the new management's lack of maintenance/cleanliness and unfortunately embarrassed to bring guests here now. read more

There are definitely pros and cons to this gym. This is a great place to go if you live in the area, you lead a busy lifestyle, and you just want to get in and out of the gym. It is next door to Giant and UPS, which will save you a trip if you need to pick up groceries or mail a package. The gym is 24 hours, so the biggest PRO of this gym is convenience. Also, if you are a big-time lifter, they provide a nice spectrum of both light and extremely heavy weights. Yeah, some of the equipment is a bit "janky" but that doesn't really bother me. My only gripe is that you don't have a good space to do floor work (like stretching or yoga). Seems like with a bit of configuring, they could solve this problem with better space utilization. read more

If you like cheap gyms with broken equipment snd dust mites everywhere than this gym is for you. I'm almost embarrassed to say I've been a member of this gym for several years, they used to have good trainers, but the good ones always leave. The thing that's been particularly bothersome recently is the fact that about 1/4 of their machines are broken. All they do is put a lousy sign on it, and it remains broken for months. The saving grace for this gym is the price, but you definitely get what you pay for...I'll be switching over to Planet Fitness read more

Fitness 19 - Elkridge - One of the many broken machines - Gyms Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

I've been going to this gym for about 2+ years now. Here's the breakdown of pros/cons: The pros: -good prices -friendly/knowledgeable staff -decent machines/free weights. They recently started upgrading their treadmills and ellipticals The cons: -bathrooms are almost always filthy and are not well maintained -small gym -no showers/locker rooms -broken machines take forever to fix (has always been this way...) -only 1 squat rack -lots of staff turnover/management changes -cancelling your membership is apparently a hassle If you're looking for a budget friendly place to workout, this place will pretty much have all the things you need. I also should point out that I got called out by a certain personal trainer there once for always asking for a water bottle after my workout (which I always get for free per my payment plan). He basically went like "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ASK FOR WATER AFTER YOUR WORKOUT, I DON'T GET IT". Why do you care if I ask for a water bottle sir? I'm paying for this amenity in my plan, I shouldn't have to answer to you. This really irked me and made it feel like a rather hostile environment. Thankfully this was a one off thing and never happened again but it was seriously unprofessional of him. If it weren't for the decent prices (which they ended up increasing....), I would probably recommend people to go elsewhere. But for now, this place will do. Not the worst, certainly not the best. read more

Think of a reasonably priced gym and that kind of sums this place up. Except they are working on becoming better and better. They have increased the number and type of equipment they have. In the time I've been working out here, they have bought new treadmills, ellipticals, and even added a row machine. They offer classes, personal trainers, and even have a daycare center. The majority of the staff and personal trainers are super nice and helpful, best of all down to earth! The only thing I wish they would improve is working on making sure all their equipment is up and running! read more

Bad consumer service. And machines are always broken. It's cheap but there's many better options around now to pick from . read more

Due to COVID 19, the use of the gym has limited my use, however the payments have still been made. I recently was charged for the Yearly Dues. Finding this charge on my card I went to cancel the membership. I spoke to Glen Phoenix and he was less then courteous to my situation. He was not willing to provide a refund because it was 18 days past the charge. His explanation was based around buying a car, if you had made a payment but then 15 days later wanted to return the car would you be able to? How is that like a gym membership, that has not been used in months because of a World wide Pandemic? If you are looking for a Gym, go another place. Cheap monthly = Cheap Service. No wonder why they cannot keep the same faces in this place. No one cares there. Do yourself a favor and look at another place that cares enough to listen to what your situation is an not just try to keep your money. read more

If you are looking for a place to workout the follows covid safety, this gym is not for you. When I try to bring it to the attention of staff that people are not wearing masks, they dismiss it and say "Oh he is a trainer" or "People on cardio don't need to wear masks". I kept my membership during 2020 shutdown because I wanted to continue to support local business. But I think it might be time for me to move on. read more

It's a practical gym with plenty of equipment and also lots of room. The monthly price also isn't bad at all. The staff is friendly and helpful. They offer towels and also wet napkins to clean off the equipment. The bathrooms are very clean. Sometimes the noise level of the music they play can be too loud and it's hard to hear what's in your headphones as you are working out- so I do wish they would lower the volume down but other than that, I have no complaints. read more

Would give 0 if possible. One of the managers was extremely incompetent and rude. To give some context, this gym makes you pay first and last month's dues so that you cannot just leave immedietely. In my situation, he canceled my membership 2.5 weeks in. He was incompetent enough o think I would pay $40 for this gym for 2.5 weeks but on top of that, he was given a note told to cancel my membership month after he actually did. When this issue was brought up, he refused to admit any fault and wanted me to pay all the fees all over again to reinstate my membership. At the end of the day, it's highway robbery and it makes sense that this manager works at the cheapest gym in the area. read more

I always enter the gym seeing weights and equipment all over the place in a disorderly fashion. Overnight staff are asleep half of the time. Morning staff is often late. Some trainers can get very offensive to members. There is often only one staff member present and does not perform all expected tasks. Some machines go without repairs for months on end. Terrible gym etiquette is almost always ignored by trainers & staff. One member has a key to open the doors if they are locked, and he's not an employee. I almost got arrested once just because the alarm went off even when the doors were open. My membership was closed because of this. I got it back but have lost respect from the staff. read more

Great staff.. Great clientele - OLD EQUIPMENT. Prime location, in middle of affluent neighborhood. Should provide equipment upgrades - hasn't been a single new treadmill, elliptical, bike in like.... forever. One piece of new equipment in 5 yrs. With such a robust clientele - should invest in retaining them. Time to research nearby options. read more

I figured for 10$ a month, I would be able to deal with the size of the gym. It really isn't that bad of a place to go. Ifffff- they learned to clean. This place is very dirty for a gym. A gym needs constant cleaning as people are definitely sweating everywhere. Also, during the cold months- the filtration system here is bad! The place fogs up and smells awful. Couldn't stand it. read more

They continued to charge me for a membership even though I cancelled it and got confirmation of the cancellation. If you're that desperate for my $20 then you probably should update your gym. When I joined in September the owner said they would be doing renovations shortly. I just left there at the end of February and have yet to see anything started. Missing/broken equipment, tight spaces, and my keys being stolen are a few reasons why I decided to leave this gym and go to a new gym. Would not recommend!! read more

Small gym at a convenient location and minimal pricing . Spot cleanliness is hit or miss, and a very thorough deep cleaning, maintenance and repair is much needed. This appears to be a popular area highschool hangout. read more

Awesome gym!! Love this place and they have great machines. But, the WiFi sucks so they REALLY need to fIx that soon

I was a member here and they treated me like family. Plus the other members are so nice and it's just a fun place to workout!

I definitely wouldn't use this gym. For the price per month, it's decent. But half the equipment doesn't work or it's broken. Got an unexpected charge on my card and called to ask what it was about. They said it was my annual membership renewal. Did not receive an email, nor anything in the mail. I haven't used this gym in probably 8 months. When I said I'd like to cancel and get my money back, they said sorry, but it's too late and you would have had to cancel before you card was charged. I also got rashes all over my body when I worked out. Which is probably due to the circulation in the room. Will never use this gym again, that's for sure. read more

Fitness 19 is much smaller than your usual gym that costs 50-100 bucks a month, but personally I'm only paying 7 a month so is it worth it? Yes. They've recently renovated the place and it looks MUCH better. Wooden floors, stone walls, some machines are brand new, the place is more spacious, and it feels great! I'm usually greeted by someone that works there, however, sometimes no one is around and I just swipe my card through the scanner then work out which is perfectly fine for me. While the gym was under renovations, I went to the LA Fitness near this place but it's not as good as this place. I already have a review on the place if you'd like to check it out! They open early enough where I could get in my work outs without any distractions or delays and it opens late enough where I can close my work shop then get a workout there. I don't feel claustrophobic as I did before, probably because they've rearranged the place more efficiently. Staff is friendly but it seems the owner guy is the only one cleaning the machines and no one else... There are an enough amount of machines, dumbbells, and racks for me and even though some may be taken, there are other alternative ways on working out that specific body part. The gym is close to where I live, it's cheap, and it's right by Giant and a bagel place. Personally, I don't really see any cons. Maybe a few very minor things like if it gets busy, I'd have to use different machines or work out a different part of my body, but that's to be expected. But overall it doesn't effect my experience there. I always look forward to working out there. read more

I've been a member of Fitness 19 since it opened. Recently I started taking some of the classes that they offer. Ian's boxing class is a killer workout. Also, you have to try Pat's mobility training class. It is a great way to limber up if you are approaching your senior years. I even have my 16 year old taking the class. Rich offers a great early morning abs class if your are looking to strengthen your core. I can't say enough good things about the trainers and the classes there. read more

Good for what it is -Small gym with a decent sized workout area -Good amount of cardio machines -Very crowded from 5-7 -Good clients, take care of the place -No locker rooms, just closets to change -Great price -Small kid area read more

This is a great gym for the price. The equipment is pretty new and plenty of equipment (weights, treadmills, etc.) to provide for your workout needs. It doesn't have any weird policies like some of it's competing gyms have at the same price (planet fitness has a no-grunt policy, weights are limited to 50lb, and planet doesn't even have a free weight bench press!). Generally people here are pretty friendly and approachable. The juiceheads here seem to be courteous enough to not cause a scene when lifting. The cardio people have TV's on the wall to view while running/biking. The age range is roughly from high schoolers to middle age. The gender ratio is usually more man than women, ihaven't noticed that many single girls coming here (womp womp womp). I havent tried the training sessions so I'm not sure how they are. It is a pretty small gym however it has all the major things you need for weight lifting and cardio. It doesn't have a pool, basketball court, tennis court, or anything that you might expect from a larger gym. Overall it is a great gym for the price. read more

Let's start with the cons. Very claustrophobic and they should consider changing their name to Steam or Sweatness 19. If the gym is crowded at all, the outside windows steam up from everyone sweating inside the humid gym. Like most gyms, this gym gets packed early in the week between 5-7. Machines, weights, and cardio equipment is hit or miss depending on who is working out. There are about 2 sets of most machines, 2 flat benches, 1 smith machine, 1 squat rack, and 1 cable cross station (technically there is another 1 by the open area). Some of the equipment is showing its age, but for the most part is in decent condition. The staff is generally friendly and there are tons of trainers for the size of the gym. I wonder how they make any money from the training sessions. Outside of this issue, the gym has probably the cheapest rates of any gym I've encountered ($3/month). As long as you can tolerate peak hours and a smaller no frills gym with some older equipment, then this is a good gym. read more

Love this GYM, have all necessary exercises machines, super nice staff! , descent price $$ comparing to others , Gym always looks clean and Plenty parking. read more

For the disenfranchised who were unceremoniously locked out of the Exercise Nation on rt 40.... This is a breath of fresh air...You all know that place was terrible beyond belief anyway!! Now, Fitness 19 is actually a real health club with employees caring for the equipment. Lots of room, plenty of nice machines and in a good area. And the employees are actual employees, not just a giggling gaggle of high school girls working out next to you and tanning. Thanks Exercise Nation for putting yourself out of your misery and forcing me to go to a real gym. read more

Fitness 19 - Elkridge - Gyms Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

Been with the gym for over a year. I was thinking of moving on to another gym. The new management has turned this place around so I'll be staying. Good value, new equipment is arriving, and it has been cleaned and brightened. Everyone is nice and friendly. The trainers I have worked with have made a big difference in my workout. read more

Saturday, June 30, 10:45 am No towels, some sanitizer wipe containers empty, dirty towels left on empty machines, women's bathroom is dirty and no Kleenex, kid in office with head almost on desk playing on his cell phone. So disappointed. Is this your standard? If not, something has to be done. Your equipment is VERY old. If you want to keep members please, at least, have towels, sanitizer wipes and clean bathrooms. Good thing the office has a one way mirror but too bad the office door was open so you could still see the lack of work ethic. read more

I'm only basing my review on the one class that I tried today. Cardio kung fu was awesome! Nice people and instructor. Only thing is no fans and it is a little weird that the childcare room is also the room for classes. Update: I tried to go in for a yoga class. Turns out there isn't an instructor and it is a video that is self run by other members at a time they set (not 3pm as advertised on the gym's site schedule). Since the classes are held in the childcare room, the classes are offered at odd times...the only ones offered after work are at 8pm...too late for me. The facility is very very clean and offers all of the amenities of a gym (nothing above and beyond). No showers or locker rooms...but there are locker cubbies. I won't be joining as I can get all that I need from this gym at my apartment gym. However, cardio kungfu would make me come back for a Saturday pay as I go class! read more

I have yelped/Called/ Gone in person/ Tweeted/ Facebook message..I have tried all forms of communication to get this resolved and this no response. Kindly asking for Fitness 19 staff to please resolve this issue and provide a refund as request. I have been told MANY times that they are working on the refund with corporate but so far NO UPDATE read more

Solid gym everything you really need I came here as a guest I wish I could give it a 4.7 out of 5. My only complaints are some equipment are broken for example you can't adjust some of the cables height because it's broken. But there is another station you can adjust the height of the cable. Overall a great experience the staff and people were really nice and the equipment is was nice. read more

Small gym, old equipment, bathroom poorly maintained. The pads for equipment needs to be replaced; asked twice in the last month, but still no response. Will change gyms if something better comes along. read more

The best thing about this gym is the price. It's incredibly cheap. The equipment is in ok condition but stuff takes a while to get repaired. The bad thing is that the gym is really crowded and cluttered. You can feel seriously claustrophobic when all the trainers are working with people on every piece of equipment and square inch of floor. I tried the trainers when I first joined and had some pretty bad experiences. One was always late and double booking. One just didn't show repeatedly. The one I liked quit after being there for few months. Also no showers or locker rooms and not a ton of lockers. Don't even attempt to go there in January; the new year resolutes take over the place. read more
