Great Gym, helpful staff. They newly remodeled and added a turf area for floor exercises.

Wow does it pain me to write this but management has removed the previous water massage beds for new ones that only allow you to use for ten mins once a day. That's it. Ten mins a day is all we get. This was never an issue previously. I understand wanting to limit usage so folks don't hog the machines, but considering this is the ONE thing we have (no showers, no classes, no private workout rooms, no pool, no sauna, the list goes on) I'm disappointed that it's been cut down to this measly amount. We literally pay extra for these services and can't even get this right. I would cancel membership but my trainer Brian is amazing and the staff and manager are all phenomenal. Whoever is running this gym at the top needs to get it together -- quickly. read more

This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I have ever had at a gym. The tall employee with blonde hair repeatedly made insulting comments about my appearance and weight while I was there trying to improve my health and fitness. Mocking a member's appearance is completely unacceptable and has no place in a professional environment. The newer employee with the shaved head falsely accused me of using a sexual slur, which I categorically denied. When I confronted him about making a false accusation, he became visibly emotional and stopped engaging in the conversation and shed a tear in the corner. During the interaction, the taller employee asked if I was "going to do something about it" and stood up in a manner that I perceived as intimidating. Instead of de-escalating the situation, both employees contributed to an increasingly hostile and uncomfortable environment. I expect gym staff to treat members with respect and professionalism. Personal insults, false accusations, and intimidating behavior are unacceptable. I strongly urge management to review any available security footage, speak with witnesses, and thoroughly investigate this incident. read more

I was able to quickly get a machine here this morning. The music wasn't too loud and the vibe was good! read more

Lots of gym members have very poor etiquette that seems to be tolerated. For example, one guy will yell at people for politely asking how many sets he has left. He also uses his gym bag to reserve equipment and runs off to the other side of the gym to do other exercises. read more

It is a good gym with every type of equipment and helps me a lot with losing weight and also it's a really cleaned area in every aspect like bathroom and machines read more

I decided to check out this gym. I have been needing to switch gyms as my old one did not have a lot of things to do. So I went there, and let's just say it was not the best experience. For one thing, it was freezing in the gym. It was also very tiny, there was not a lot to do. The treadmills don't even work properly either. I keep getting a message asking me to put my weight in as well as my time limit. I have never used a treadmill like that before. And once I started getting into it, it stopped. It also didn't help that the gym was a 20-25 min drive away from my place either. Definitely not worth it. I think I'll go back to my old gym after this experience. read more

Since the new management has stepped in the gym is not clean and maintained. The bathrooms are filthy and it seems the staff doesn't really clean the gym like the previous management did. We are so sorry to see them go. The staff is friendly and great it just seems that the cleanliness is gone. read more

Love this gym they have lots of great equipment , the staff is very friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in they answer all your questions , they care very much about their customers Nice and clean ... always greeted soon as I walk in I highly recommend this gym !! read more

Great gym been going here for years. Solid equipment always get my pump and work done!

I usually come in the mornings between 5 or 6am. Unfortunately today no one was there to open the gym but I decided to wait for a while. Elias showed up and opened the gym and after speaking with him I found out he wasn't even scheduled to come in the morning today. So at 6am when he is supposed to be off he came in and saved the day so the morning crew could get our workout in. Not to mention he's always had great customer service. Major shoutout to Elias for always going the extra mile and hope management takes care of him! read more

Great gym - solid range of equipment and lots of space. Can get busy but just gotta dodge those times. Especially great for the price.

Poor management, unable to terminate membership after multiple tries, billed even randomly once my membership was even closed, dirty gym

Easy place to get into before the kids get out of school, clean equipment, and friendly staff. Manager is friendly and helpful.

Today sunday august 10, i came to see how bad management there is at this location, i was hoping to have a workout before going to work but only to found out the gym was closed when they're supposed to be open at 7, i was waiting for 20min with a few other people just for someone to show up, what a great disappointment if this happens again i will cancel my membership and go somewhere else, handle your business!! read more

My gym over 7 years and love this place ! Stuff very nice and professional ! Relaxation room with massage chairs and red light therapy room - amazing finishing after work out, my favorite part :) I personally very missing intence fitness evenings classes (not Zumba) (( and would be great if will be possible make steam room )) 10/10- Recommending. read more

The gym is fine for what it is, a no frills neighborhood gym to get in and get some resistance training or cardio. Glad to see some improvements are being made, including going from 2 power racks to 6, and adding stair stepping machines, and replacing all the free weights and some of the benches. They're closed for 3 weeks right now for a remodel/expansion and hopefully some new equipment as well. Don't come here expecting much in the way of amenities like a sauna and all that stuff. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could, but more of a 3 than a 4. Likely increases with the remodel though! read more

The culture of the gym has changed significantly. It used to be that individuals went to the gym primarily to work out, and they would receive praise for their efforts or, at the very least, be left alone. However, it now seems to focus more on selling products and services, often at the expense of members' finances. I have only a handful of staff members I appreciate at this gym, including my exceptional personal trainer, Vicki, and Marlon. Vicki is the main reason I continue to attend the gym; however, I haven't been there in the past couple of weeks because some staff members have been giving me unfriendly looks (though I am not sure why). Oh well! read more

The morning opening person has not shown up twice this month. How are you supposed to plan your workouts if they can't get anyone to open the gym???? Manager just offers apologies but does nothing about it and their cooperate office doesn't respond to your emails. Not a reliable place to workout!!!! read more

I had been going to Fitness 19 for many, many years. It was a decent gym and had what I needed for the most part. A couple things that I did not like about it at the time was the loud music that often played as well as the fact that you had to wait for equipment sometimes. In a small gym like that, that is to be expected. I started going back after the renovation was done under the new ownership of Vim and Vigor. I was a little skeptical, but I have to admit, I absolutely love it! The gym feels so much more spacious and comfortable. I look forward to going much more than I did before. I wanted to mention Brandon and Darrell, two of the front desk employees that were super helpful today. I've been trying to get my app to work and they helped me try to straighten it out. They both went above and beyond and I am appreciative of their exemplary customer service. One of my pet peeves was and still is, the amount of people who park themselves on a piece of equipment and stare at their phone for 20 minutes or more. We're all distracted but pay attention to your surroundings and have awareness for other gym members who are often there for a limited time or on a tight schedule. If you're going to be on your phone step out of the equipment area. I highly recommend this facility ! read more

first class equipment, kept clean and well-maintained. Most of the staff is friendly. Only downsides: over-stocked in the olympic racks and under-stocked with only 1 reverse fly, one sit-up station (that doesn't rock and jerk mid-motion) and one leg curl station. Because of this, most of the olympic competition racks go unused and the three stations I mentioned are almost always occupied often making it difficult to get time on them. They also need to check their (only 2) wipe cloth stations and garbage cans more often. The wipe cloth is often empty for and the garbage can overflowing for longer than reasonable periods given the number of staff sitting and chatting at the front desk. read more

I've been waiting for a training refund for months. They don't pay their trainers enough who have to double as sales people. Subsequently, they seem to only be able to hire young trainers. read more

Horrible membership cancellation experience. Customer service is nonexistent. Greedy business practices.

It's a great gym with all the equipment you could ask for and also the people who work and go there are fantastic.

The gym is newly remodeled with new equipment, flooring, bathrooms and other amenities. It's clean, open and has a wide variety of items to use. Major improvement from fitness 19. Completely different gym than before, for the better read more

Pretty great gym. Would recommend to anyone whether you're just getting started or already a serious lifter. They do their job keeping it clean for the most part. My only complaint is that I wish they had an extra quad extension, it can be hard to get the one they have whenever it's a little busy. Other than that great gym for what you're paying. read more

Friday 5:30 am. Again, new name .same late staff people waiting. How is this happening? Managers should have some kind of system to make sure they are open right at 5am. People wake up early and get ready to come in. Wasting our time. read more

Just went to the gym to find that the renovations have apparently started. Gym was obviously unusable as contractors were at work. Last went to the gym on Friday, 7/12/24 and there were no notices that renovations were going to start or how long the gym would be unaccessible. Also tried to call to see if there was at least a message, but no, the phone number doesn't even have a voicemail attached. Additionally, referenced the gym's website and there is no information posted about the renovation. Management needs to do a better job notifying their clients if they want to maintain/add to their client base. read more

Here at 7 am again on Saturday standing outside with everyone WAITING AGAIN for someone to show up. 7:15 now. Still no one. Everyone's missed. AGAIN. Complaining is fatal. Nothing changes.

I had a similar experience to others when canceling my membership. After canceling, my "30 days" ended on the 19th of the month and my monthly fee and the yearly fee (I had not been there a year yet, only a few months and I was cancelling due to a medical situation) was charged on the 15th. I was ok with the maintenance fee ($50), it sucks, but I am willing to pay it, but to charge me the entire month for 4 days? When I went to to talk to the manager he was not there. Daryl at the front desk was very nice and kind, but wasn't able to help. When the manager, Daniel, called me to "explain", he was condescending and abrupt. Honestly, all he had to do is say he would pro-rate those four days and I would have swallowed the yearly maintenance fee. However, I guess refunding ~$20 is not worth potentially having a return client. And I'm not bringing a dr note to a gym saying I couldn't come in because I was recovering from cancer treatment. Shame on them! I will never go back. Customer service needs to be taught to these young people. read more

My son was a member, but he's gonna leave for college, so I saw the yearly renewal fee and a monthly fee pop up on my account about 2 months ago. So I called immediately that next day and said I want to cancel and get a refund. The interim manager said OK and to email them and they would take care of the request. I did so and a few days letter an email was sent back saying my son's account was cancelled. But no mention of the $60 refund! So I allowed some time and made a second call just a few weeks ago. The new manager gave the strangest response by way of half ass denying a refund is possible! Then directed me to the original paperwork signed, but with no specifics detailed from the paper to justify not simply refunding my money!!! He instead kept beating around the bush. Finally I called him out on it. " Are you trying to say you don't refund my yearly fee even though I contacted you guys a day after it was charged to my account?" Again, no clear response !!! So I said please give me the email of your district manager so that I can contact somebody above you and get this settled. So I was given the name and email of the district manager who I emailed immediately. Unfortunately I was given incorrect email addresses twice. Eventually the district manager was contacted, and after further explaining to him, he allowed a refund. But not without stating first that Vim and Vigor has a policy that you can't cancel and be refunded the yearly unless you notify them 30 days prior to the renewal date! Which normally no one notices until weeks after the date! So the policy is designed to take your cash, then allow you to leave and end your subscription. No one read small print so be aware they do this! Glad I can move on, what an awful business experience. Most companies take pride in being fair with their rules. Not here. But thanks for the refund finally. read more
