I've been a member and going to the one in Sylmar since it opened, I want to say since 2018. What I love about this gym is that it is local to home, but in the past year or so it has gone downhill. For starters, the cleanliness of the gym is horrible. For years there was a lady that would clean the gym 2-3 times a week and now nobody goes to clean it. There is dust and hair everywhere, the restroom smell like urine and on occasions the hand sanitizer dispensers and wipe containers are empty. Secondly, the customer service is lacking friendliness and professionalism. Staff do not greet and on A LOT of occasions in the past year the gym does not open on time during the week/weekend. The best customer service was given by prior employees Alex (trainer) and Destiny. Although I have kinda noticed a few new attachments and equipment, this gym lacks a lot of focus in this area compared to the Eagle Rock and Northridge gym. It would be nice if a member suggestion box was utilized so that equipment can be updated/added. Ex. Heavier kettle bells, maybe another smith machine, leg press. This gym generates enough revenue to better it for all the members. Back in March, I spoke to Ulysses and shared cleanliness and customer service concerns and I have yet to see changes. Who can I reach out to, above Ulysses to have all my concerns addressed. read more

I've been coming to this gym since it opened, and unfortunately, it's gone downhill. The conditions are unacceptable--equipment is often dirty, bathrooms are rarely cleaned, and the place just feels neglected overall. It's clear that cleanliness and upkeep are not a priority. The staff is unfriendly and unprofessional except for one staff Destiny.Most of them are young kids who act like they'd rather be anywhere else. They don't greet members, offer help, or show any interest in the people coming in. Worst of all, they don't even open the gym on time. Multiple times, I've shown up during the scheduled opening hours, only to find the doors locked and no staff in sight. We've literally stood outside waiting for hours because no one bothered to show up or even notify members of any delay. It feels like management doesn't care at all. We're paying members, and we deserve better. If this continues, I'll be looking for a new gym--one that actually values its members and respects their time. Saturday 7/12/2025 was the last time we stood outside and the gym was to open at 7am and we heard they showed up until 8am. This is not ok! read more

Each day that goes by gets worse and worse with people not racking their weights, I use to see staff walking around racking weights even though members should be doing it. They would also announce and encourage people to rerack before with old management and staff. If I see change I'll come back and change this :) read more

Edgar,Edgar,Edddgar It's a fairly small gym as it was one of the first fitness 19s in the valley. So that being said I believe they need to expand a bit more. As of right now this gym is dumb crowded all the time. Getting a machine is near impossible because these young cats will just sit on it all day. Lot of these younger guys literally come in street clothes like they just came from class. I feel like they let anyone in, I wouldn't be surprised if they started letting homeless in too. I feel like they need to put in a strict policy during hot times where guest aren't allowed. That would really clean up the gym and let the serious folk work out in peace without fighting for a machine. I really love this gym but I'm slowly starting to just move on and find something better. read more

This gym opens at 7am on Saturday's- that's late compared to other gyms but I'm cool with it. HOWEVER, this gym location is a mess with opening on time! Waited until 7:40 am with people lined up to get in, smh. According to the people in line, it happens often & that the Manager has been notified on numerous occasions. I had to leave so who knows what time they opened. So plan accordingly lol Guess you get what you pay for haha. Positives - it's clean & the morning staff is friendly read more

Worst gym ever always packed and they trap you in a year contract when you sign up and if you wanna cancel they make you pay a "buy out fee" or continue paying for the rest of the year read more

DONT GET A MEMBERSHIP HERE I use to be a customer here and honestly the gym itself was okay small so whatever that's not my complaint but they make it so hard to cancel!! I've tried for the past year and I still can't It is not worth it, go somewhere else! Also my friend signed up for a membership and signed up for the app and now they are charging them for 2 accounts we tried to cancel one saying it was an accident but they still won't allow us too!! read more

I've been coming here for over 5 yrs ever since Michele left it's been a shit show! Weights everywhere dirty mirrors trash everywhere dirty floors trash cans over flowing and the STAFF? on the damn cell phones! Every person here is new the old staff was absolutely amazing and kept this gym functional and welcoming. What do I pay my membership for? For these teenagers to sit around and just chill? Management needs to come in and do something about this problem. Wait let me not forget the restrooms!!!!! If Chatsworth wasn't a drive I would change gyms! read more

Don't come here these people are crooks I got a year membership only went a few times and now I have a collection bill from 2023 -2025 smh crooks ! read more

I typically enjoy this gym because it's well maintained and always fixed the equipment when broken. My one complaint though is that once the water filter hits red, they lag it for a while before they replace it. A lil gross read more

Please do something about people saving 2-3 machines at one time while using a whole other machine. It's a tiny gym and people are to inconsiderate. I'm definitely canceling as this is out of hand. Nobody cleans the place it's extremely dirty. Is chalk allowed at this gym? Please put up signs if not. The people using chalk do not clean up after themselves. read more

I love this gym . I walk in the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The gym is extremely clean , the mirrors , bathrooms and equipment. If you are looking for a personal fitness trainer I highly recommend Sam A . He is extremely knowledgeable and a all around good person. He has pushed me through some very challenging sets which helped me improve my form and strength. He continues to push me towards my fitness goals. He motivates me during workouts , he patiently explains proper form and technique for each exercise. The workouts are challenging but fun. My body is stronger than ever !! Thank you so much Sam . read more

I'm very pleased to say that the things that made me give Fitness 19 a 1 star review were rectified showing that management appears to care about their members. I'd like to thank management for seeing my review and taking the steps to improve the gym experience. read more

Great gym and great staff! Manager Miguel, and front desk staff Shyila are always ready to help when needed! Love this gym!

Very small and crowded! No matter what time of day I would go it was always crowded and the machines are so close to each other. The staff is friendly but i'm gonna have to go to a different gym read more

MOSQUITOS, HOT, LOUD ANNOYING MUSIC I've been bitten by mosquitos here - I have to wear bug spray just for this gym. They leave the doors open all day, even when it's over 100 degrees outside. It gets HOT in there. The AC sucks, the fans are weak, and they leave all the doors wide open I have to blast my headphones so I don't hear their trash music. I have noise cancelling headphones and I can still hear theirs when I play my own music. It's distracting and my ears hurt now read more

This place has come a long long way since Drew and Michelle are running it. They actually smile and interact with everyone!! The machines are all in good order, the facility is well maintained - even the windows are cleaned regularly! Really glad I made the choice to join Fitness 19 read more

Since I've been going to this gym, it's always clean, all the machines work and are always maintained. I could find all the dumbbells. Good management. I've been to other gyms, so I could compare and I appreciate Fitness 19. It has everything I need for a full body work out. Thank you. read more

I started training with Samuel Anaya as I had become nervous to exercise due to a an injury I had a few months ago. Having setbacks during my recovery I became very hesitant to put any pressure on my body for fear of going backwards so I felt that working out and training was the best option for me. Samuel is so easy to get along with, friendly and approachable which is exactly what I was looking for. He worked around my limitations but still somehow manages to push me. I'm so much more confidence in my ability now and I owe that to Samuel. Absolutely worth the investment of both time and money. read more

It's small but the atmosphere is great! They always say hi and welcome you. And that to me is motivating. I want to give a special Thank you to Natalie she was very sweet helping me last time! read more

Nice little gym with all the essentials you need. Plenty of treadmills if you want to do cardio. It can get busy here though since it is small. This includes the parking situation especially since it's in a shopping plaza. There's a wellness studio inside for you to stretch out. If you upgrade your membership, you can also get red light therapy. Not sure if it's worth it since I have the basic. You can monitor your logins, pay, and also cancel your membership online. read more

Destiny! What can I say. The front desk is one of the most important parts of the gym, for it is the face of it all. She is warm and welcoming, very hospitable. Gym etiquette is dying, but somehow she exudes that . Much appreciation to her. read more

This gym is legit like 4 minutes from my house which is the only reason I go , but DANG is it DIRTY. The other day I went to the locker room to wash my hands and there was a dirty band aid full of blood chillin on the counter!!! Like what . The staff seems chill but man there's way too many groups of people that go here and they mostly young kids. Like why is a pack of 4-6 people all doing legs on one rack bro . And there multiples of this , like 5-7 packs of people especially during the rush hour times. Some times I go in there and see this and just leave. The other HUGE problem is that they don't have enough weights, sometimes I can't find a 45 for the life of me. If any other gym was closer I would probably never go here again read more

Fitness 19 - Come on man , right on the counter - Gyms Near Me - Sylmar, California

I would give the gym 4-5 stars if the opened at 4am and also would like the staff to be a bit more attentive to the members. Most of the time they all spend their time literally just texting on their phones. They need to be greeting members and maintaining a high sense of urgency for the members. The gym is clean and the equipment does the job. read more

During your workout you will be fighting off flys and mosquitos due to them leaving the front doors wide open day and night. The last evening I was there I had to leave because I was being bitten so bad by mosquitos on my legs. The gym is not cleaned well, some of the treadmills and machines look like they are growing hair, aerobic room has dust tumbleweeds floating around the floor and free range roaches. Bring your own hand sanitizer and towels, not a single piece of paper towel available anywhere. On the plus side: cheap, plenty of parking, staff is amicable and members are polite and considerate. Extra tip: there's a guy that sells the best street dogs at the parking lot entrance after 5:00 PM. read more

There is this dude that uses the workout benches for his personal use leaves his stuff on it and to rest. Acts like he has a special membership. I asked to use it and he said that he was using it to put his stuff on it. Got aggressive with me because he said I was bothering him. Talk to manager and area manager they didn't seem to do anything about this and my question was isn't the equipment for the members use to exercise and not to put their stuff on it and rest. This alone shows poor management if they can't get members to follow the rules then what's going on the manager is not doing his job!! read more

It's a bit small and I was disappointed that the squat racks in the back were being used by groups of people at once. It's always a bummer to see groups of 4 or 5 people (mostly a bunch of dudes) taking up the squat racks the entire time they are there leaving everyone else no chance to use them. They were also very very loud yelling to the point I couldn't hear my own music. Other than that the staff is super nice and customers every where else seem to be nice and respectful. read more

Love this gym for its cleanliness and the staff is always helpful I started going here a year after it open and it's become my home gym

Been coming here for a few years now, it's a smaller gym but it feels like home. The music is good most of the time and the environment is overall welcoming and comfortable. I'm giving this place 5 stars strictly because of Michelle, this woman is dedicated to keeping the gym clean and organized. 10/10 read more

I used to be an LA fitness member prior to joining this gym. I joined Fitness 19 because the location is very convenient for me and the monthly fee is great. However, I may be canceling my membership because the other day I came and brought my cousin to try out the gym as a guest. I was charged almost the same amount as the monthly fee for a ONE DAY guest pass. The first person that I asked at the counter said guest passes were free but he "wasn't sure" so he went and asked another employee and she charged me for the guest pass. I was not very happy about that. Time to cancel membership! Overall the facility is clean, although on several occasions they clean the restroom/locker room during high traffic hours in the morning and won't allow anyone to go in. I really had to go one day and I was not happy that they made such a big deal about not letting anyone in. Also, they don't have a sauna which is another reason why I will be canceling my membership. read more

Awesome medium to large size gym... Located just off the 210 freeway in a half-full strip mall, the relatively new gym has plenty of parking. The layout is one huge central room with a few other rooms in the back (locker rooms, child care, exercise classrooms). The gym is modern and has a great variety of machines and equipment by Life Fitness. I love the open air feel with the entire front being a huge window and the vaulted warehouse ceilings. The locker room (with 2 showers and four toilet stalls) tile work also give a light and airy feeling. The gym floor plan is well thought out and it's easy to find the equipment you need. Staff is also great. Sabrina signed me up. She was easy to talk to and really down to earth. Love this new gym! read more

See all

The prices and treatment is so inconsistent. They don't care how long you have been a customer or how much money you have spent on training .. look for another gym for your own benefit read more

I joined this gym through my Silver Sneakers. It's close to my home and I love going on the weekends when they open. I've only been a member for a month, but I really enjoy coming here. One thing though, if the gym says it opens at 7:00 am, please open then and not 15 minutes later. People were standing outside waiting and it was cold. Also, they seem to run out of wipes quickly. Other than that, the people are friendly. The trainers answer questions about the machines and will show you how to use them. It's good for me as all I want is to do my exercises and then go home. Like others have said, the music can be loud, but it's a good beat to work out with. read more

I've been frequenting this gym since 2019 and it's been an amazing my experience. The trainers are always there to give tips and advice as well as spot me when I am unsure about a lift. Jose, Sammy, Michelle, Bruce, Eric, drew, ray, Nav, Kyle, Karla and the other trainers have all helped me grow in my fitness journey. The in body scan is a great tool to use to track your progress I've been able to put on 30 pounds of lean muscle mass since my first session in 2019. The music and ambiance is great and the people there are welcoming and nice. I've made lifelong friendships at this gym and I am so glad I decided to join this gym. read more

Shout out to Michelle! She's amazing, super motivating & knowledgeable. I've trained with her a few times she's always been nothing but kind she's patiently willing to help you every step of the way I'll definitely be back for another session with her! read more

Small, extremely loud, if you enjoy loud music, this is great for you. Huge parking lot. Helpful staff. Clean restrooms, loud music in there too. read more

This gym is great for the price even thought it gets busy at certain times . I gave it 5 stars because the workers make it a great environment. Michelle is awesome always with a great attitude and putting weights away. Also Evelyn is also great and the manager Drew is good with the customers. read more

Terrific gym, I highly recommend it. No attitude from employees or the crowd, not a pickup joint, just people of all ages coming in to do their workout and that is it. The employees/trainers are always polite and willing to help out, whether you hired them for personal training or not. There are a few outstanding trainers there, but Jose who comes in around 3 is the paradigm or excellence as far as an affable person goes. read more

District manager Jose amicablly resolved the matter. Good to know there are managers out there like him.
