I've had an amazing experience at this gym. The facility is always clean, the equipment is well maintained, and the atmosphere is motivating without feeling intimidating. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, whether you're brand new or experienced. What really stands out is the positive energy and sense of community. There's plenty of equipment and enough space to get a solid workout in without feeling crowded. I always look forward to coming here! Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive place to reach their fitness goals! read more

Best gym here in Mission Viejo, the staff is super nice, equipment is always clean, 10/10.

This gym rules. they helped me deliver my baby in the floor of the gym and gave me a complimentary smoothie. 11/10 I will be coming back! (It's a boy) read more

They have the sweetest and most committed staff. I had a flyer for my neighbors lost kitty, and (I believe her name was Selena) on duty staff tonight called the manager and agreed to post at the desk. She said they love pets and of course, will do what they can. Love my Fitness 19. read more

Fitness 19 - I think her name was Selena? What a sweetheart.! very positive and inspiring; thank you management for hiring her (and so sweet to help!) - Gyms Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Love this gym! Training with Moe has been really awesome. He's experienced and always shows me something new. He has also trained my husband and my son, which shows he's good with all age levels and skill levels. If you're looking to boost your workouts, I definitely recommend training with him! read more

Small but has everything I need. All the staff is super friendly. Particularly Ethan and Kevin. They make you feel welcome and are always willing to help, listen and are very knowledgeable. They gave me great feedback that is helping me on my fitness journey. read more

A great gym, with a great location, sitting on Lake Mission Viejo. It's not huge like most of the other gyms around. Between having the right amount equipment, and the staff, you get a great experience. The staff is great. Especially Karen. She is always so inviting, and easy to talk to you. She's on top of everything. You can tell that she cares....as she is always taking care of something to ensure that everyone has a good workout. She is the best. I I highly recommend Fitness 19 !location, great staff, and a great price.. read more

Mo at Fitness19 is tremendously supportive and pushes me harder towards my fitness goals than if I tried to workout myself. He's upbeat and an educated trainer noticing the smallest things like hand grip, stance, breathing therefore my workouts are getting great results. Thx! read more

Terrible service. I canceled in June 2025 and was told it would be taken care of. We are now at the end of May 2026 and I received and email that I owe $200 in late fees because it in fact was not "taken care of". My reason for canceling was due to an emergency move to a new state and I unfortunately trusted that they would do their job. I would not recommend this gym. read more

This gym is hands downs the place you need to be at to workout it's super clean from machines to the beautiful deck looking out to the lake! Emiliano the opener is always opening on time and super friendly when I need help at the front! Karen at front desk is so helpful and always trying to look out for you! Highly recommend this neighborhood gym versus the larger mainstream gyms that are overcrowded with three high schools kids hanging out at the same time Good luck finding machine with a kid not on his cell phone. Fitness 19 is where to be. read more

Been going to this gym for years and all in all love the gym . Can it be more cleaner , def yes but find it really annoying when the staff starts cleaning with Clorox right next to where I'm working out . Please next time clean with an unscented or do the cleaning before or after hours . Thank you read more

Clean facilities, awesome view of the lake and a variety of weight machines! I appreciate how they have an outdoor area to stretch and workout, as well as a small room inside. They have a tanning bed too, if you're into that. read more

Don't sign up for personal training!!! I signed up for personal training and paid $349 twice because I wasn't aware that there was a two month minimum. I still had some sessions left when I moved away and I assumed that they would stop charging me, but since that time I have been charged $349 4-5 times. I can see how people that don't check their bills carefully could just go ahead and pay this. This has cost me a lot of stress. read more

Fantastic gym!! Great views of the lake and a training team that really cares. They design plans with your goals (and ability ) in mind. The equipment is always in working order and clean. What more could you ask for!?!? read more

Amazing Gym. I come here often and it always feels like a family when I'm in here. Everyone in here is great and helpful when needed.

Management reached out, which I greatly appreciated! Glad to know they care about members experience. Thanks again!

Great Gym. Cheaper than other gyms. Sometimes there are member appreciation parties with prize drawings and food, unlike in other gyms. They sent me coupons and with them I was able to reduce my monthly fee. read more

Great gym! Super chill staff, has everything you need. Would recommend to any MV locals.

I've been working out at Fitness 19 for the past couple of years and I must say that it has been a pleasure. It's a small gym with a great community of people. They have a good variety of equipment for whether you were doing weight training or cardio. The staff at the front are very friendly (shout out to Karen) and the maintenance crew are on point keeping it real tidy. I highly recommend this gym right by Lake Mission Viejo. read more

Great place to work out! Come join us Meet new and wonderful people sun tan and hydro beds coming soon read more

Love the gym as they have everything you need. Great equipment indoors and out to enjoy your workout.

Amazing, fun location. Clean facility with kind staff. Excited to continue coming here. Beautiful lake views

Great gym! Friendly staff, always clean, and great atmosphere. Highly recommended coming here.

Great gym! Not super busy during the day and enough equipment to get a good workout in for a short amount of time.

When I started at Fitness19 I wanted a trainer. They hooked me up with Jason. He is wonderful. During our training I had hurt my knee(not at the gym). I went to my training with the knee really bothering me and Jason knew just what to do. He adjusted my schedule to work with the restrictions of my knee while it was healing. Had me do some stretching that did not hurt but absolutely helped. He is the best trainer I have ever had. Absolutely worth it. Thank you Jason!! read more

Great place to work out, good equipment and clean facility . Very organized and good value for your money

I really enjoy this gym because it's smaller and cleaner than other chain fitness centers. It's also very convenient if you live or work in Mission Viejo, affordable as well if you choose the basic package, about $18 a month). They do often have plumbing issues in the bathrooms and do not have showers or a sauna if you like them. The gym does have a small outdoor balcony area overlooking Lake MV that is a nice break from being in the gym. Overall, I do recommend it if you like a smaller gym and are nearby the area. read more

Very clean! Plenty of available machines! Staff was very helpful! Had a great workout!

Great experience. Everything went smoothly when going in. Staff is very nice and understanding

Love this gym! It is the best, great facility, beautiful view of the lake and always clean.

Amazing gym with a very friendly and helpful staff. They have all the equipment you need and the area is always clean. The membership prices are also super affordable read more

Staff was amazing and very helpful. Easily the coolest gym I've been to because of the staff. This gym is amazing you have to go if you're in town. Karen is the coolest employee hands down. read more

One of cleanest and well kept gyms in mission Viejo area, never to crowded either which is rare to find around here. Thanks to the manager Joaquin for helping me get good rates and signed up for the few months I'm back in town for. read more

Fitness 19 is a clean gym with friendly staff that greets you when you come in. My only concern is the staff needs to monitor the crowd and enforce some etiquette by ppl just sitting on machines. Several instances where ppl are just on their phones and not utilizing the equipment. read more

I have been a member of fitness 19 for a few years and both their Oceanside and Chino location. They have pretty great prices and a gym that's just the right size for me. It never gets too crowded and the staff is always friendly. I am moving to the city next door and was glad to see there was a location not too far away it's a bit further than I'd like to drive, but I've always had great experiences at Fitness 19. We registered with Joaquin who was friendly and helpful. Excited to start our membership here! read more

I cancelled my personal training and they are still billing me and have told me they have no record that I cancelled my personal training.

Really friendly and even though it's a franchise, it's managed locally so it feels like a small community. I only started coming here, so I'll have to update as I get to use more equipment or figure out the crowd. Hydromassage is so fun and the water/bed is heated. I'm not going to ever use the tanning machine bc of cancer reasons, but it looks nice and is isolated for people who are into that and it's included with the elite membership. There's lockers out in the gym area so you can bring your own locks. There's also going to be a brand new back room that's being updated for functional fitness that used to be like an area for kids. I hope there's more weekend classes added soon, but there's a few during the weekdays that work with a "general work" schedule. Kasein is a friendly manager, and Michael is super helpful with info about the fitness programming. I know it's a business so talking about costs/money/fees can be weird if you're on a specific budget, etc , but it's just part of any membership process for all gyms and they answered all my questions upfront about those details. Jordan just started as a trainer here and is really knowledgeable about the movement systems - and this is coming from a certified personal trainer and physical therapist myself so I'm glad I have some sessions lined up with him. Haven't checked out the "women's lifting" class with a different trainer so I'm not sure about that though bc lifting is lifting regardless of gender. Some covid specifics: Hand sanitizer is available and temperature is checked when you scan in. Cardio equipment is blocked off every other. So far, it seems like people wipe down their benches & and cardio equipment but generally not the bars or db as much. You'd hope everybody is actually sanitizing their hands before touching anything inside though. Masks are required but you can pull it down when you're distanced from people or need a breath (like doing cardio), but I've also seen people have their mask down for a while while just lifting. There's an outdoor area you can bring whatever equipment you want to outside. No mask is required outside and you get a lake view. I'd like to see people clean more, but overall, I'm not concerned about catching covid here but I don't feel 100% comfortable (even some grocery stores people are fools though and I'm not 100% down with that either). Probably just in general being around people in the gym can be gross and the general public can have poor manners & hygiene practices. read more

The staff at Fitness 19 are great! I worked out with Ethan. He is very knowledgeable, easy-going, and did a excellent job explaining how to do each exercise correctly to get the most out of my workouts and avoid injuries. The gym is clean and well-maintained. They even have a deck overlooking Lake Mission Viejo if you prefer exercising outdoors! The membership fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend Fitness 19 Mission Viejo! read more

So my main reason for giving this place 3 STARS is because I firmly believe politics should be left out of gyms and other places of business. However, every single time I come into this Fitness 19, more than half of the TVs are fixated on Fox "News". Regardless of my own political views, I would have given 3 Stars if CNN or MSNBC was glued to the screens. read more

Fitness 19 - 3 of 4 TVs on Fox "NEWS" - Gyms Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Excellent gym. I tend to use a wide variety of equipment, so I'm often disappointed by the lack of equipment or sophistication of equipment in one area or another. But, this gym really has it all. State-of-the-art cardio equipment, treadmills, rowers, cables, kettlebells, full racks, dumbbells, you name it. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a good range of members--everything from experienced athletes to competent beginners. The gym is spacious enough to accommodate them all. The overall vibe is very welcoming and supportive. And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the picturesque setting. The lake view from the patio is truly breathtaking. Finishing up workouts there is one of the highlights of my day. read more
