Austin is one of the most helpful, generous hard-working humans I've ever met. He's always cleaning, always friendly and very approachable to speak to. Overall, this gym has clean facilities, equipment and friendly staff. Absolutely recommend this gym. But of course we will have different opinions, we all have different likes and dislikes. You just have to find the right gym that fits you. If you like the gym and know what you're doing it doesn't matter what type of equipment they have you'll get a workout in. I'd say give fitness 19 an opportunity and if it's for you great and if it's not, it's OK just don't go based off bitter people giving bitter reviews. The convenience of this gym is awesome, you have El Pollo Loco, target, a DD's, five below, Cox, bicycle shop, Chinese food, Rose, Mexican food, chipotle, laundromat, subway, a mechanic shop, sprouts, Petco(I think it's a Petco.), and a barbershop as well as a nail salon and eyebrow threading, but obviously you would've been able to figure it out using Google. I just like really long reviews lol. Anyways, this gym is very convenient close to everything and anything you might need after or before the gym. If there's something you need you just let the staff know or if you have a comment or concern, let them know so that way they can figure out a way to improve. I feel like this gym welcomes any and all criticism either good or bad. If any bad. If by any reason, my review doesn't make sense, I'm using voice text. that's my why read more

Staff is fantastic and always helpful. Bo, my trainer has become a great friend and makes sure my technique is correct.

I've been using the gym for over a year now. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good amenities and most importantly good gym equipment. The gym always seems to be clean too. read more

I decided to cancel my membership when I tried to purchase a protein drink on my club account on Sunday, January 25th at 8:45 AM and was told that I didn't have a card on file. I have made multiple purchases on my gym account in the past and explained that but the employee (Saul) was unwilling to assist and make it right. The best way I could make it right was to terminate my gym membership. I tried to get assistance from a female staff member (who has conducted transactions and charged items to my gym account) but Saul just asked me to write down my name and phone numbers. He never took any initiative to ask another staff member how to charge a purchase to a gym account to make it right. It's either incompetence or gender discrimination as far as Saul is concerned. It's embarrassing to be treated this way and no paying gym member should be subject to discrimination and humiliation. I doubt Fitness 19 would have treated local Fire Department members poorly (who were working out when I was there) but would have assisted them. Shame on Fitness 19 and their staff for treating members as if they are a bother, not having basic skills to process monetary transactions (store clerks with limited English proficiency are more competent) and doing nothing to make it right. That's laziness! It was bad experience but what I learned is there are other fitness clubs in the vicinity that offer more amenities for members, have more exercise equipment, flexible hours and competitive membership rates that offer greater value than Fitness 19 ever could. read more

They are crooks and will continue to charge your bank account despite having cancelled and revoking their authorization to process any ACH transactions. If you manage to actually get in contact with a human, they will lie to you, assure refunds are being issued, no further charges etc. and then they will continue to charge you anyhow. LOOK THEM UP ON THE BBB - They have an "F" rating because they consistently defraud consumers. Total SCAM....and the gym is dirty AF and it sucks. read more

I'm sharing this experience because it was a complete contrast from the positive impression I initially had--and ultimately the reason I chose not to join. On Monday, April 13th, I spoke with Grant over the phone about joining Fitness 19 through Active & Fit. He was extremely helpful, professional, and kind. Based on that interaction, I went ahead and switched my Active & Fit membership to this location and was genuinely looking forward to joining, especially since the gym seemed to offer the types of classes I need due to prior injuries and surgeries. I also spoke with Daniela and let her know I would be coming in later that week. Unfortunately, my in-person experience on April 16th was the exact opposite. When I arrived, I stood at the front desk while a staff member (Maria) sat behind a computer, looking directly at me but not acknowledging or assisting me. I was left standing there until a young woman--who I'm not even sure was an employee--approached and asked if I needed help. Only then did Maria come to the front. Her first comment was that she didn't know what I was standing there for, which immediately set an unwelcoming tone. I explained that I was there to complete my signup through Active & Fit and provide my member ID so an account could be created. It quickly became clear that she was unfamiliar with the process. As I tried to explain how Active & Fit works, she became dismissive, short, and increasingly defensive. Due to an issue with the gym's Wi-Fi, I was temporarily unable to pull up my member ID. Instead of offering any assistance or alternatives, she repeatedly told me I was "not prepared," which was both unhelpful and unnecessary given the circumstances. At one point, she attempted to look me up in the Fitness 19 system using my phone number. When I clarified that I didn't yet have a Fitness 19 account--because I was there to create one--she responded with attitude and questioned why I had given my number at all. The interaction felt confrontational rather than helpful. I even mentioned how positive my experience with Grant had been, and her response was, "Well, you're not talking to Grant, you're talking to Maria." When I said I might contact corporate about the experience, she responded, "Let me make the call with you," which came across as sarcastic and unprofessional rather than supportive. At that point, it was clear this was not a misunderstanding--it was a lack of basic customer service. I felt uncomfortable, dismissed, and frankly unwelcome. I chose to leave rather than continue the interaction. It's important to note that I wasn't just walking in casually--I had already switched my Active & Fit membership to this location specifically and came in ready to finalize my enrollment. Because of this experience, I will not be joining. Management should be aware that one negative, face-to-face interaction completely outweighed an otherwise excellent first impression. No potential member should be treated this way. read more

Austin at Fitness 19 in Oceanside is awesome! He's super friendly, always quick to help with equipment or answer questions, and makes going to the gym feel more welcoming. Great employee thanks Austin. read more

This gym has the worst of it all, the equipment is nasty old, broken container boxes to hold accessories. You know there's nice heavy duty boxes at Home Depot or Walmart! The inside looks run down, small hot place for the amount of equipment. My wife and I both of us had a five day free pass and we worked out one day and we will not return!! read more

I went in there to get information on a membership and I spoke to a young lady. I believe her name was Marlene. She was very friendly and helpful. I didn't make up my mind if I'm going to join but the chances are I will be. I saw that the gym was clean and very well used so it helps me in making a decision. read more

I have been coming to fitness 19 since 2012 and I love it! I train with Marisol and she is AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone at any stage in life! The staff here are amazing and always greeting you with a smile! Can't forget to mention the vibes they bring with the variety of music!!! read more

Daniella is an amazing trainer! She is energetic, informative and reliable! Some trainers I have had in the past simply will move you along rather than keep you motivated to improve and reach your fitness goals. I have had a shoulder injury and Daniella has been able to alter some of my routines to work around it and strengthen my shoulder. I highly recommend Daniella's as your trainer! read more

Not too busy, the gym has just the equipment I need. staff is friendly and welcoming.

Went in to try out the gym, and after a week, decided it was a great fit for me! It's a very clean gym, with good music and nice equipment. Austin and Joshua helped me get set up with a membership which was a smooth and quick process. Very happy overall. read more

Joshua is very helpful, organized and keeps track of everything. He is always there answering my questions and giving me suggestions. By far the most motivating and professional trainer I've met. He's always pushing me to be better and more productive. I can't say enough positive words about Joshua. I would recommend him to everyone! read more

Steven was very welcoming at the front desk. he gave me a tour of the gym and it's pretty well kept and clean. he was very informative about the packages they offer. i look forward to possibly getting a membership here. read more

Clean gym with nice equipment! Always come here when I'm in Oceanside and it's a nice environment.

I've had a great experience training with Josh. He is very encouraging, friendly, and easy to talk to which makes workouts comfortable and motivating. He takes the time to explain exercises and makes sure I'm doing everything correctly. He creates a positive environment and makes every session enjoyable. I've seen improvement since working with him and I highly recommend training with Josh to anyone looking for a supportive and helpful trainer! read more

Amazing gym always clean , Marlene the manager is always really helpful as well as Steve on helping the gym stay clean ! and the trainers i really recommend this gym . read more

I landed a job in Carlsbad and was excited to give this place a shot if I ever had to kill some time while traffic died down... unfortunately, I only made it here once since I was pretty grossed out by how absolutely disgusting their showers are that honestly looked like they haven't been cleaned in YEARS... there was long hair everywhere and just soo dirty The only reason for the 2 stars is because of the sauna... aside from that, this location is pretty small and the equipment was pretty aged. I love my local Fitness 19, but this location just didn't do it for me... read more

Great gym. Nice collection of equipment. Doesn't necessarily have everything, but everything you need and a few more. Friendly staff.

Had a great experience. Joshua was very helpful! Would recommend and will definitely come again!

I've been coming to this gym since I was 17. It's a small gym where everyone knows everyone. If you're a regular, you'll see the same five people no matter what time you go. Sure, sometimes the treadmills are broken for a few months or the mirrors take a while to get replaced, but honestly, that's part of what makes this gym feel like home. The staff is super friendly, and Rey is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. They also do a great job keeping the place clean. 10/10 would recommend this gym to anyone looking to be a part of the fitness 19 family. read more

This gym is great - super clean and I've came in the morning, right after work and on the weekend - and there hasn't been anyone in there really. Highly recommend for Oceanside area read more

Gym is clean and well stocked. Not too crowded most of the time. Joshua at the front desk was helpful!

Clean place and nice staff! Had a good work out. Also good location in mission market place

Sean is the man no joke took care of business highly recommend fitness 19 great machine

I was searching for a gym with specific equipment and the option to work with a personal trainer. Not only does Fitness 19 have the equipment I was looking for, but I also started training several times a week with Ethan, one of their personal trainers. Ethan is both knowledgeable and incredibly motivating. He offers valuable tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeps me focused and disciplined as i work towards my goals. At 53 years old, I am preparing for my first bikini competition, and couldn't have found a better trainer to guide me on this journey. Ethan's expertise and dedication ensure I stay fit, strong, and fully prepared to compete at my best, no matter my age. Thank you, Ethan and Fitness 19! read more

Lots of equipment, plus a room for larger classes or if one wants to work on bodyweight exercises in a more spacious, quiet place. The staff have always been kind and helpful to me. My trainer (Bo) is more than qualified, and is fun to work with. I think what I appreciate most is the diversity of the clientele. Young and old, "gym rats" or not -- all are welcome, and most are very respectful of others. read more

Great place!! Highly recommend it. Every one is great working here and always a good vibe.

Great gym with great equipment I made the switch not too long ago from another gym and my wife and I love it, we signed up!

This place is awesome! They have tons of machines and free weights, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Marlene and Steven were especially great at helping us get everything set up. read more

Signup was easy! Good equipment and not too busy when I go. Shoutout to Luis and Joshua at the front desk!

I saw the gym from the outside and didn't know what to expect. once I went in, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean all the equipment was. And the staff was extremely friendly. After checking it out twice I signed up read more

Steven helped me get signed up he's very nice and informed me well great service! We were given a quick tour of the place to make me feel welcomed right away. read more

Staff is always welcoming. Gym is clean and machines are quality. Tried other gyms but ultimately made this one ours because of staff and cleanliness. Not overcrowded either. read more

This is a great gym. Ethan F. is a helpful, knowledgeable & friendly trainer. He makes coming to this gym a real pleasure. Give this man a raise. His assistance is why I come here instead of 24 hours Fitness. Great job!!! read more
