Great gym overall clean everyone in there is respectful and cleans after. I just think there should be more machines like preacher curls and more read more

Got this gym because it's close by to me but definitely needs more machines, more smith machines por favor :'( . Always clean though so that's a plus! And everyone who works there is nice. And the music is great as well shout out the dj read more

There is fitness 19 on Durant square in San Leandro my issue was with the staff in the Management. I don't see any other people of color in their butt Hispanics. As far as their staff there's not one Caucasian staff member not one Asian staff member not one African-American staff member even the janitors there are all Hispanic or something wrong with that. read more

Bright, clean, decent equipment, nice people working at the front desk and all around superior to many of the other local gyms. Monthly fee is very reasonable (cheap) as well. read more

As I approached the gym, there was an ambulance in front rolling a gurney into the gym. I was concerned but I continued in to get water because I was really thirsty. I was approached at the water fountain by Natalie telling me I need to come to the front desk. It's not what you say but how you say it. I believe I was targeted because she wasn't polite. Her face was extremely cold, no smile, stone face. I asked her for a key tag and she proceeded to make me one and as I held my hand out to receive key tag, she says "not yet , I'm putting a code in". She hands me the key with an attitude. No, enjoy your workout... nothing. I know she has a job to do but she could use some customer service training because without customers she wouldn't have a job. read more

I found this gym on a fluke through my insurance and for the price I thought it would be another 24-hour fitness-level slog (stinky, dark,. overcrowded fitness classes). Nope! The gym is clean and well lit, equipment is new and not crowded. But by far the best part is Vancia, the class taught by its founder Vanessa on Monday and Wednesday. What a great format, and what a fantastic teacher! It's dance that is simple enough for me to follow, plus plyometrics, plus other strength moves here and there. Fitness19 scored with this lady, she could definitely be teaching at the fancy gyms that cost $50/ class, but we get her for $24 a month. read more

Be careful with your belongings there's a bunch of thieves, working out right next to you at this gym. I'm leaving at one star review because of a recent experience that I just had. I dropped my cell phone during my time at the gym and I didn't notice it until I was at my car. I went back into the gym to look for it, and it was nowhere to be found. I went to the front desk and they told me a member had brought up the phone, but for some reason, they didn't take the phone and keep it at the front desk. I then went with one of the workers there to find the person that had brought out the phone and he had given the phone to someone else who claimed the phone was theirs. Now someone has stolen my phone in which all of this could have been prevented. read more

I recently went in with my friend for the 7 day pass which she referred me to. When I went in and told the man at the front desk that I was referred and he found out how old I was and wasn't able to get a wasn't able to have a guardian present he spoke to me in a very condescending tone. i understand there is policy's they have to follow but they do need to work on their costumer service and better train their employees. read more

The gym is well kept and the energy is always on point. WhT I don't understand is how it advertised as m-thur 4am-11pm but fridays 4am-10pm but tonight it's closing at 21:00. I understand people like to party and all that but that's not cool. Advertise and stick to whats painted on the front door. I came along way from work to get my session in. read more

Fitness 19 - The door - Trainers Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been a member for about two months and have been working with Sean. I have been very impressed with his knowledge and eye for safety. He is very knowledgeable about body mechanics and proper form in order to keep yourself injury-free while working out. Its clear that he cares about each client and the progress they want to make. I needed to discontinue my personal training because of some health issues and I was missing sessions. So, I went in to cancel, and for some reason, I had a really bad attitude. I had already put my "Karen wig" on and was ready for a fight around canceling. I walked in and Nathalie began helping me and was calm and polite all the while I was being a d!ck. She was polite, explained things, and was honest and straightforward. Because of her excellent customer service, I was able to recognize I was an a$$hole and took off the "Karen wig." Nobody in customer service should have to put up with a customer being an a$$hole, and for that, I apologize. In regards to the gym itself, the staff is friendly, it's clean, well lit, affordable, great energy and very well equipped. read more

I'm grateful to have access to a gym that is close to my home and SO AFFORDABLE. However, it's not a huge gym so it can get crowded easily. If you're able to, you need to be smart about when you go. My husband and I usually go once a week during lunch time to do chest press together. Cause we swolemates, yenno? Jk we are not swole lol! There are four flat benches. There are also four squat racks. They have one pull-up/dip assist machine. They also have a turf area, which I like to jump rope on (I bring my own ropes). They have battles ropes, TRX, and kettlebells - just naming a few things that I like to use. Go get those gains! read more

Be careful, and check your bank statement. They charged me $59.99, even though they sent out an email stating that our accounts would be frozen until June 1st due to covid. I'm disputing it right now, but it's frustrating that they can't even keep their word. read more

Been a fitness19 member here at the Oakland location since they first opened back in 2020, it's been a very pleasant and motivating experience, the staff and fellow members are like family. I'm also giving a Special shout out to Nick Lam for all his hard work and encouragement, him and the rest of the training team are very knowledgeable and they go above & beyond for their clients and members. Keep up the good work read more

Nick is a great trainer and he is very nice. He helps me a lot. I would recommend my friends come over. read more

I've had a good run at Fit19 in Oakland! It was very bittersweet to switch over to another gym because my fitness journey started here when all the gyms started opening again after the pandemic. The memberships are SUPER reasonably priced and they often do promos, which is a plus. It's located in the Durant Marketplace shopping center that shares a parking lot with the FoodMaxx next door, so parking isn't usually a struggle. The gym itself isn't the biggest, but the layout is very well utilized with a decent amount of squat racks (4), benches (4), some additional barbells on the turf, machines/cardio machines, and dumbbells that go over 100lbs. The space and bathroom are clean, and people do a good job at re-racking their weights for the most part. The only cons are that it gets super busy during peak hours (e.g. waiting 30+ minutes for a squat rack) and sometimes the AC is down, so the space gets stuffy and steamy. Other areas of improvement could be refilling the wipes and taking out the full trash cans more frequently. But overall, the staff are super nice & chill and although I didn't want to cancel my membership, the front desk guy that walked me through the process was very helpful. It was a breeze & there wasn't any hidden charges. Despite the minor issues, I had a positive experience here and think that Fitness 19 is a great choice for anyone looking for a quality gym! read more

That handsome bro Abel yea you know who I'm talking about, he single handily turns this place into paradise! Customer service above and beyond! Someone give this man a raise matter fact make him ceo. -One happy customer read more

It's a clean and nice space to exercise. It allows for a good workout to happen, making it easier to exercise.

The gym is okay. It has the necessary machines but they're always busy. Sometimes there's 4-6 employees just huddled up at the front desk but the trash is over flowing, there are no wipes, the machines are dirty, and the bathrooms are gross. They've gotten better opening the gym on time but even that isn't reliable. Overall, for the price, I guess what else can you expect. read more

They got rid of some of the equipment that was heavily used which pissed a lot of people off here. The staff is pretty good except for a couple of younger ones who could use some customer service training. The worst thing is the music. It doesn't match the demographic at all. Pop and rock are not very popular in Oakland/San leandro read more

Buttons on treadmills are missing, there's hardly any wipes, and trash cans are almost always full and overflowing. The gym does the job and it's affordable, though it could be cleaner. Owner needs to do a better job of stocking wipes and/or spray paper towels to keep equipment clean & sanitized. read more

Love this gym! Blain's crew is always super welcoming and friendly whenever we show up for P3K! Love the high intensity workout, the great music and awesome people! This full body dance workout is no joke! Not to mention the hydro massage chairs are great when you need to decompress read more

The best gym in the area. This gym is always clean and the bathrooms are spotless. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They're not pushy for sales like many other gyms. The crowd that comes here are also friendly. What more can you ask for a gym?? Let's get it. -Aaron read more

I really like the gym and would have given it 5 stars if they still offered the Vancia class in the afternoon. I joined this gym excited to start a fitness journey and then bought the lifetime membership because I Fell in love with the Vancia class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. This class use to bring me so much joy. The energy from the instructor transmits to all who take her class. The  vibe and acceptance from the teacher and attendants was amazing. Iam so sad the class was taken away without warning. I wish they brought this class back. I haven't found the same joy since the class was removed and it has impacted my attendance. PLEASE BRING THE EVENING CLASSES BACK! read more

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the lack of inprovements that will make Fitness 19. Oakland succeed. There has been ongoing issues with maintenance of equipment. Many of the TV"s don't work on the cardio machines. Recently, they took other cable machine away on the green turf. So now there is only 1. This is a totally inconvenience for people who want to use it. The gym etiquette I noticed that people are on their phones and not working out, talking to people near the machine and you ask them now many sets? They say 3 more when clearly there talking instead. Also this week, there hasn't been any wipes to clean the machines. There are dirty rags and 1 spray bottle of god knows what? I came home and developed a huge allergic reaction something on my back from sitting on the workout bench. The lack of cleanliness is disgraceful. I proceeded to ask the staff in the front about. the wipes, they had no clue if they were ordered. I asked them if they do the ordering, they told me that they don't do the ordering. As a long standing member, I have noticed a significant decline in leadership, and lack of improvements. To be a fitness trainer you have to look the part. There are some that I would suggest to people. When a trainer is not in good shape, or is vaping, not great personality is not someone I. would not go with. You are are suppose to be setting a goos example of health. Being a manager at a gym; communication, leadership, Exceptional organizational skills. As a gym manager, should be articulated along with a commanding yet friendly presence. when dealing. with the clients but also other staff members. He/She should be able to smartly handle. any program that pops up and and should not be burdened by it. Motivational skills are key to inspire your trainers and staff members. I also noticed the gym is not prepared if someone gets hurt. Ice packs, first aid kits, etc. Very upsetting to see when my friend got hurt and there was nothing to help him. I found something randomly. Members need. to feel comfortable enough to focus on improving themselves without worrying about injury. I request that immediate action is taken to address my concerns. Failure to do so not only impacts personal satisfaction but it tarnishes the reputation of Fitness19 Oakland. read more

I really enjoy my experience at fitness 19 the front desk staff always greets me with a wonderful smile good positive energy Alicia, Kim, Nick, George, Pablo, Brandon, and Carlos.

I L O V E Zumba with Ms sexy Courtney also AKA CJ2. I created a special bond with my awesome trainer JUSTIN we develop a great friendship.

Yoga teacher Rachelle Karpeles is very good--beginners to mid-yoga poses. She's very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Very disappointed as I singed up for their 3 day free pass, an employee called me several minutes later asking if I'd be in any time soon. Following the conversation he stated he'd take care of me and my friend. We walked in and stated we were there for the 3-day pass and one of the guys said no our policy changed we do not do 3-day passes anymore you have to pay for a one day pass which is $20 per person. I asked him how come their "new policy" was not on their website and proceeded to say NOT SURE IT'S NEW. I then asked so what exactly is the policy that doesn't allow us to do the 3day as it is clearly on the website....he proceeded to say I don't know I just came back from vacation. WHAT a joke and a complete waste of time!! read more

I want to give this location 10 stars if I could because I love the environment here! Pablo (assist manager) went out of his way to show my the whole gym and sat down with me to talk in detail about memberships which I appreciate so much because we found something that works for me and I love that! I feel at home going here and plan to see myself working out here for years. My trainer Remy is the best from workouts to being very patient with me. Can't wait for my results to show but I am loving it here! read more

Yeah so...after a year will says lots of issues here. Firstly the crowd is weak- especially my fellow females- so many distracting and inappropriately dressed women filming themselves doing thrusts. So many thrusts. So many wannabe influencers. Tons of armchair cross-fitters slamming the shit out of the weights- which despite the pleasant folks who work there best effort are all over the place never racked...The locker room is the worst tho- I'm not non- binary or any of that but I am androgynous...the amount of shade I've received- hard to fathom. Any non feminine woman knows exactly the whole 'woman freezes in mock shock at your presence and has to double check she's in the right locket room' rigamarole ...when I'm partially dressed or naked!! It's pretty clear I'm all woman and just made to feel bad because I'm not wearing layers of makeup or have stretch pants so far up my ass you can see if I have hemorrhoids. Tried to cancel and they have some bullshit 3rd party website and they charge you a yearly fee even thought it hasn't been a year...so yeah. This is a 'you get what you pay for plus a little more hidden fee situation. read more

Joined this gym to shed my covid weight. I toured every gym in a 15 mile radius of it before I joined. It's been 3 months and I've been very impressed with the way they've handled their covid protocols, the consistent cleanliness of the facility, and the brightness and natural light in there is beautiful compared to the dingy lighting in all the other gyms i toured. All they need are those Giant workout stability balls and this place would actually be perfect. The staff and training staff are also super friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging whether you sign up for training or not. Justin has been my trainer and has been nothing short of amazing - i've never been more motivated to be healthy and stay fit but do do in a way that's sustainable for me! Everything you need in a gym @ a reasonable price point! if you are in the area and looking for a gym - this is it!! Don't waste your time touring all the others like I did. read more

This place is bootie. It's new but already half of the machines are beat. Most of the elliptical squeak and don't work properly. Service your equipment. And where's all the good classes? Where's the body pump? This gym is lacking basic things. It's such a nice space too. Also their hours suck! Planet fitness is what's up if you are close to one. I saw that the owner/manager responded to another persons review commenting on the hours. He stated that their hours are the same as planet fitness. No there not. Might be for one of the East bay locations but definitely not all. Some of them are 24 hours. Not looking for 24 hours but this place definitely closes hella early. Then to top it off 4 10 year olds just ran up in the gym today. Just walked right in and was jumping on all of the machines messin around hella. Dude at the front desk looked scared. Grow a pair. There's a park down the street they can mess around there. Like what is happening. The more I think about how much I pay for this gym the more I'm unhappy with it. read more

Abel & Axel amazing people at the front desk great ppl to talk to. I love talking to them for 2 hours.
