Love coming to this gym!
I have been going to Fitness 19 off and on for about the last 6 years and it is by far my favorite gym. I have attended smaller gyms, LA Fitness for a year or two, and I always come back to Fitness 19. The staff is friendly, my trainer Jerry is super on-point, and you can't beat the price.
But friends ask me all the time, "why don't you just go to LA or 24-Hour Fitness instead of Fitness 19? They're better." They say, "They have a sauna, and pool, and more machines."
So this is what I tell them:
First off, how often do you use the swimming pool? Or the sauna for that matter. Most gym-goers like myself go to the gym to do weight training and cardio. My goal is to get in and get out. Fitness 19 has all the best machines as well (like a brand new Olympic Lift Station and CrossFit Station) so it's not like your sacrificing there.
Secondly, in my experience, during peak times, like after work around 6 p.m., I rarely have a problem getting weights or machines at Fitness 19. Of course with any gym, you may have to wait a bit before getting the machine that you want to use. The big difference though, at Fitness 19, is that people are generally very nice and accommodating.
Thirdly, the money.
The sign-up fees and monthly dues of the Big Chain gyms are ridiculous. If you're spending close to $35 a month on a gym membership you really need to think about coming to Fitness 19. That's just about $420 a year not including maintenance fees or sign up. Yikes!
When you think about it, you're paying a fraction of the cost at Fitness 19 for all the same great machines and weights that you like at the bigger gyms. Plus you get nicer staff, friendlier people, and an overall great bang for your buck!
Also, if you're looking for a great trainer, Jerry is beast and is getting me looking awesome for my wedding.
What are you waiting for
