Today I just finished my 1 week free trial membership at the Meridian Ave, San Jose location. First the good... I was quite impressed with how large the club is inside. There are LOTS of weight machines, and all seemed to be in good working order. Yay! Also, there are free weights and benches and a large room to do a warmup or other individual exercises. I didn't attend an fitness class, although those were well populated and looked good also On the down side... There are 2 rows of treadmills probably about 25 total. However 6 of them were broken, and only 2 of the 6 had a sign indicating this issue. I was told at the desk that this had to do with the electrical capacity and fixing this problem would be a priority in an upcoming remodel to the facility. (Good idea!) And finally, the women's locker room is clean, but the showers are AWFUL! It takes 5-10 minutes of running the water to get even a lukewarm spray. Today I tried 2 shower stalls, running the water for almost 10 minutes, but the water never even got to lukewarm. Hopefully a new hot water heater(s) is (are) in the club's future. Fixing these few problems would make me want to join this club. It's location is convenient, has helpful staff, lots of equipment, fitness classes, and clean. Thank you.

I have been a member at the Fitness 19 gym on Meridian Avenue for almost a year, and I am very impressed with the value I get from my membership. Their facilities are very clean, spacious, with tons of high quality, well-maintained equipment to help me achieve my health and fitness goals, restrooms and showers are always clean, and they have plenty of lockers. They offer a wide range of fitness classes to help achieve members' health and/or fitness goals. Likewise, I am very grateful for their incredibly friendly and attentive staff. I want to specially thank Leon for going above and beyond in helping me during my last visit. I am very impressed with Leon's kindness, attentiveness, and knowledge. It was a great feeling being treated like a valuable member and I sincerely appreciate it. At the end, excellence in customer service is what differentiates businesses, and what creates client loyalty. Fitness 19 Meridian has done an amazing job hiring people like Leon to be the face of their company; we members very much appreciate it! Thank you!

I like the upgrade to the building and some equipment that they got from the previous gym for Fitness19. What I dislike about the new location and new team, they do not clean the equipments and organize them to keep everyone safe from COVID-19. All that I see is, some of the workers helping new customers about the new location, and deals with memberships but the ones that aren’t doing anything, they’re just talking to one another not cleaning nor organizing. They need to Enforce everyone at the gym to clean and wipe after they are done using the equipment. I’m sure after the gym closes, they clean the equipment but the amount of people coming and using them, I feel like they need to clean every 30 minutes to an hour. The only good thing about the gym is, people are wearing their masks. I’m just being honest about but if you and everyone want the gyms to be open for longer please do a better job at reinforcing the rules.

I've been working with a personal trainer for 3 weeks the experience is just what I was hoping for! I have worked with 2 already due to schedule changes and both were awesome. The gym is clean and feels nice & spacious with the super high ceilings, it has never smelled badly. 2 changes would improve the experience: change the light bulbs! There is one area where the light blinks on & off and it is distracting and annoying. The other is the fingerprint requirement at each training session, also annoying, it isn't clear why this extra step is necessary since I'm already checking in at the front desk. One thing that is not annoying but could be a helpful change is to put a clock up somewhere - I never know how much time I have left in a session unless I look at my phone - which I don't. Overall, I am VERY pleased with the experience and happy with my progress, loving the sessions and happy the gym is clean and welcoming!

UPDATE: After this review, I got contacted by the gum employee and the issue was resolved with refund. Really liked that reputation matters for the business and updating my rating to 4 stars. Original review: Been going for about a year now. Don't be fooled by low membership prices! I just got this now, trying to cancel my membership. You'll have to pay $50 minimum if you decide out. And even if you time it good and do it at the end of your year, they will charge you and say go call support and write emails to resolve. TO THE OWNERS: reputation and customer loyalty cost more than $50 that you charge me and others for early cancelation to offset low membership price.

This location is always busier than you would ever like, making it challenging to have a good workout. The number of people who are enrolled at the gym is obviously too high. The clientele at the gym are disrespectful, loud, and not a pleasant experience to be around. Management does not do enough to maintain a positive workout environment. Lastly, the process to cancel a membership is extremely challenging. You are not able to do it in person, have to call on a phone, and are assessed a large charge just to cancel. I would not recommend; instead, one should find another gym if the above sounds undesirable.

The staff is always willing to help and are very nice every time I go in to workout. I see them constantly walking around either cleaning or picking up weights and putting them back. The gym is large enough to keep social distancing which I like a lot. The bathroom/locker room (for women) is always clean and I really like that its large so if there are multiple people in there you don't have to worry about being close to one another. One thing I do wish they had is water fountains with water bottle fillers. Other than that this gym is a great upgrade from the blossom hill location, much bigger

Clean, lots of exercise equipment, and attentive staffs. Inside, it’s a spacious area that makes the place not too crowded. There’re many boxes of alcohol wipes for members to clean equipment after using each times. It’s very good idea since hygiene is very important due to the pandemic and another contagion. And, you can use hydro massage tables, tanning and red light therapy treatment rooms, if you are their premium memberships. All in all this place has good facilities for working out. Staffs are friendly and attentive. And it’s easy for parking.

I was looking for a new gym to sign up for because my old one got too expensive. I have heard really good things about fitness 19 so I checked out the one near my home. When I called Stephanie answered and she really helped me making me feel more comfortable about choosing this gym. She was telling me about the classes, deals they have, and the type of different memberships that come with each package. She fully convinced me to get a premium. I am glad that I chose a good gym to transfer over to with such good prices.

Great staff! Busy gym. It's pretty clean. I just started back and have tried all times of the day and so far I've learned it's always busy. Getting a weight machine is challenging. I work out and keep an eye out for open machines. So many people are busy on their cell phones they are not actually working out, just sitting. One group of 4 girls worked together on one leg machine. The were on it a half hour when I ended up leaving without finishing legs. I notice so many people on cell phones. I am enjoying it.

I would definitely avoid this gym if possible. The equipment is sufficient for a commercial gym, but one of the salespeople is unbearably rude. I was denied my 3-day free trial 30 minutes after they let me, and I was asked to leave mid set. Their reason was that I had been guest passed once before, but there is nothing on the website about that rule. The goal of a salesman is to bring on a client and earn commission. These predatory sales tactics don't work as well as you might think.

I love this place! I found out about it through my sister, and now I’ve gotten so involved that I’ve even gotten personal training with Andrew. He’s really fun and entertaining and a great trainer overall. The club manager, Ray, is super involved and entertaining. Shoutout to my favorite front desk employee, Fiona, who’s very welcoming and pleasant to encounter upon entering the gym. These people make the gym my favorite place!

The gym is good, but the company running it is a scammer. In order to cancel the membership, you have to write a letter to them. The front desk cannot cancel it and they don't know how to do it correctly. You have to call a number and then were given an email to write a letter. They will charge you until they can clarify all information. Communication is poor, I don't know why a month of membership is worth customer experience.

I have been as a member with Fitness 19 for 4-5 years. I don’t want to give them 5 stars because if many people know here is a wonderful place to workout they will all come to. But I think I have to say Fitness 19 is awesome! The place is very spacious and big. The staffs are friendly. And I enjoy to workout with many of my friends there. Also, there are many workout experts in the gym. You can make friends with them.

GM doesn’t care about clients, it’s all about what he likes. They leave doors open in 50 degrees, refuse to close even when you ask. Staff can’t change class room temperature (event when it’s 40 degrees) on weekends because the manager doesn’t let them change it. Sometimes equipments are out for months. It’s cheap but I rather pay more for a better atmosphere and more of a welcoming manager.

After a more than a year of lockdowns and reopens, people are eager to jet off. The challenge is daunting. For months, each member or visitor is required proof of temperature test and wearing a mask before visitors are allowed to enter. The new place is double size more than all pervious ones, I love this place as a routine workout to balance my work at home during the pandemic season.

Nice gym, great Zumba class with Lydia, excellent Kick Boxing class with Mr Gomez. I enjoy the machines, I love to finish with the hydro massage bed. I need to try the red light room. Very friendly staff. The only little issue is the cardio dance class, the lady is doing a poor job, somebody needs to talk to her, because nobody wants to take her class, is a waste of space.

I don’t recommend this gym, lately it’s been like a school playground for high schoolers to hang out. Hard to get a good work out with all this kids taking all the equipment. To bad Fitness Republic left, they had a great set up and great equipment. I’m hearing all the horrific stories about trying to cancel your membership Need a new gym

I have been thinking about opening a new gym membership and I just want to say Stephanie was super kind and helpful with some of the questions I had. She was honest and open to my questions/concerns and made my experience way more enjoyable than I have had in the past with other fitness 19s and I just wanted to share my gratitude!

This was my first time there I was greeted by Stephanie. She told me everything I needed to know regarding my membership. She showed me how to use the in body scan. I look forward to seeing her and talking to her at the front desk. She is a very friendly face and always puts me in a good mood before my workout.

I recently joined Fitness 19. Being a new member I was really reluctant. Taylor at the front desk was so sweet and put me at ease. She showed me around all the equipment and different areas. I feel much better and going and getting my workout in now! Love walking in and seeing her friendly welcome!

I joined to fitness 19 two and half years ago , good management , started practicing with Robert ,6 months ago , He is one of the most respectful and knowledgeable trainers , He has experience and friendly , I’m very happy for working with him , can see the result , for sure rating him 5 stars .

The equipments are old , the treadmill around 60% don't work and the caretakers don't even bother to look at it ,very crowdy and moreover the weights are always missing , not enough equipments or weights , for some workouts there is only machine available . I would definitely not recommend .

I am really enjoying this gym! It's clean and the people are friendly. Staff are great, especially Mike, who is so helpful with working with you and finding what you specifically want. I really appreciate all of his help! He is truly a fantastic person and great with customer service :)

I’ve been going to the gym for about a year now and I have really enjoyed my experience. The facilities are clean and well kept. The staff is really helpful and welcoming. Taylor at the front desk has always been so kind and funny making coming here sometimes the best part of my day :)

This Fitness 19 is the best! I could work out, leave, and feel like my testosterone sky rocketed to the brim. I wanna give a special thanks for a worker there named Georgis Argiris, he helped me with my workout and gave my a lot of pointers and made me feel like I belong here. - Jorge

Glad they moved to this location. It's so big and open and airy; I love the huge fans. There are multiples of the same machines/equipment so I can almost always use what I need. Everything feels new and clean. Lots of parking. Good group classes that are in a large & airy room too.

The new Fitness 19 Meridian is everything one could want in a gym. Clean space, Updated Equipment, Easy Parking, Nice locker Rooms, Great Staff. I wanted to personally thanks the Manager, Ray McMillon, he took his time in explaining and did a great job in helping my membership.

I recently came in to inquire about getting a membership and was lucky enough to be helped by Stephanie. She was so sweet and kind while showing me around! Gyms usually give me anxiety and stephanie made me feel very safe and eased me. Definitely will be coming back soon!

Stephanie (front desk) was awesome! It was my 1st time at a Fitness 19 and I was going in for a quick workout (didn't check it or anything online). She was really kind when I asked her about the facility. Highly recommend this gym, especially if she's running the front.

I love walking into this spacious clean gym Stephanie and Isaac always greet us with friendly warm smiles. Stephanie helped me with the inbody scan and Isaac helped me navigate the machinery. I appreciate the staff here! I will continue to come back because of them!

Amazing gym across the board. Great equipment that is always kept clean and organized. Friendly staff that is always willing to help. George Argiris is my favorite worker at fitness 19 meridian he is always so full of energy and willing to help in any way possible.

Robert Serrano is a GREAT trainer. He is knowledgeable and flexible. He is very accommodating and genuinely cares about achieving your fitness goals. If you are looking for a trainer at Fitness 19 San Jose (Meridian ave), he is without a doubt the best!.

Came in a few days ago with my friend as we want to start getting in shape for the summer together and were greeted by Stephanie. She made our first experience walking into Fitness 19 a good one! She was very knowledgeable about the gym!

This location is very spacious and the staff was very helpful, especially Stephanie. When I finished my workout she saw me eyeing the In Body Scan and being confused, she wasted no time to come assist me. I look forward to coming again!

The staff here is always so nice and friendly to me and my family. Stephanie in particular was very helpful with some account questions I had which she was able to answer very effectively. Thank you Fitness 19 and Stephanie!

Equipment is good staff is friendly. Soap in ladies restroom needs to be filled each day. Ladies bathroom has been closed 3 days. Ladies bathroom is kept clean. Front glass doors could be kept cleaner. Fingerprints all over

Isaac pushes me to my limits, but also listens and notices when particular exercises aren't working for me, or when I'm doing things wrong. He's very patient in showing me proper form so I don't cause injuries to myself.

Es una estafa, equipos rotos, pocas pesas, demasiadas personas para tan pocos instrumentos y lo peor es darte de baja. Llevo buen tiempo tratando de cancelar mi suscripción y todavía no he podido, pero siguen cobrando.

Price is great and the facility is super clean and comfy, but you all have got to fix your equipment quicker. I think there's like six treadmills that are just sitting there broken right now and have been for weeks.

The trainers are amazing. Two of the trainers there helped me a lot with accomplishing my goals and push me to continue reaching my goals. They adjust to me if I am having a bad day and are very flexible.

You better keep up with your billing, they charge more and you have a hard time getting a reimbursement. I've gone through 3 trainers and I'm not sure if I'm getting the proper training for my needs.

I really am enjoying exercising at Fitness 19 - Meridian Ave since they have a clean gym and such a big variety of well designed exercise equipment. Also, the staff are very helpful and courteous...

The staff here is always very friendly and people are respectful when it comes to cleaning up after themselves. overall a great experience every time I go in PLUS they have tons of equipment!

ive been goin to this gym for a while now and the service is great! all the workers are wonderful people.But 1 stood out the most, Taylor fowler was welcoming, easy to talk to and funny.

Stephanie at Fitness 19 is absolutely amazing! She always has a big smile on her face and always has a good attitude! She always helps me out whenever I have questions about anything!

Everything has been great. Price could be increased to ensure behavior of some guests. Staff friendly. Ceiling fans should always be on and not turned off for one customer request.

Equipment is brand new, cleaned constantly, staff is always ready to help. Some of the lowest membership prices I've seen compared to other gyms I belonged to in the bay area.

I really like this gym, I went lots of gym in SanJose But here is definitely awesome Best air condition, clean nice staffs and every tools you can find here Try it No doubts

Went for my 1st time as a newbie being shy I didn't know my way around but the sweet lady at the desk stephanie got me set up for success such a great 1st time experience

Fitness 19 staffs and facility are great,very clean, equipments are in operation and hand sanitizing wipe is always available. We feel very safe to come for a work out

I had such an amazing and welcoming experience with Stephanie!!!! She’s super outgoing and made my experience at this location great, I would recommend her to anyone!

Spacious. Tall ceilings. Great ventilation. Clean. Great location. Just go before high school is out or it will get crowded with teens after 230pm. Otherwise Great.

Nice spacious gym although sometimes understandably crowded! Lots of different equipment that is generally clean. If you want a good trainer, ask for Andrew Galang!

I called to ask some questions about memberships and Stephanie answered the phone. She was able to answer all my questions with no hesitation and was a big help.

Very large, high ceilings, clean, great ventilation so low virus risk (my education includes epidemiology). Well managed. LIke it all the way around. Great gym!

Water fountain water is always warm or room temperature. Multiple weight machines missing carabiner, making it unusable. Not enough free weights for everyone.

New equipment, clean, only recommendation is employees should return weights people are leaving everywhere, or have signs up. Hard to find weights sometimes.

The manager is on it! Aaron is personable and runs the club very well - it's very clean, the equipment is in great working order. Nice job - good club!!

Great gym and the service provided by the staff member if I recall her name was Stepahnie Johnson! She was so helpful and make sure I felt welcomed!

clean and spacious. the only complaint is that they don't provide proper steps for the step class. hope they get us steps that are meant for step.

For the very very low monthly price, this is a great gym. Very large in size, huge variety or equipment, very nice bathrooms, and friendly staff.

I had a great experience at Fitness 19. Especially with staff member, Stephanie. She was super helpful, and had a great welcoming demeanor.

Friendly staff. Bigger gym than the last one which is awesome. Just here to get the gains Awesome service! Keep it up! …

Way better environment than I've experienced at other gyms. Stephanie has always been very helpful and a friendly face when I come in

Cam is awesome. Sometimes I can’t find the weights I’m looking for. Love having access to redlight and hydro massage and tanning bed.

So far so good. Everyone has been super nice and professional. Lots of wipes available and everyone seems to care about sanitation.

STEPHANIE WAS AMAZING!!! Gym can feel so impersonal and you can really feel like another number but she was so sweet and helpful!!

Stephanie is always so enthusiastic and friendly every morning and was super helpful helping me set up the app! I love this gym!

This was earlier Fit Republic. Same equipment are used here again. I wish they include tire flipping and trap bar dead lift.

Do not recommend. You have to pay to cancel even without a contract. They also don’t mention that to you when you sign up.

Hello everyone ! I look forward in going to Fitness 19 . Very friendly staff that greet you each day !!!!! thank you ken

This gym is amazing, the community and atmosphere here is great. Really like the guy named george at the front desk.

I went in for a 3 day pass to check it out and instantly signed up. Great summer specials. Thanks Fiona! …

Stephanie helped me out with setting up an account. She is so sweet and amazing!! Thank you for all the help!

Rob always pushes and takes care of me at the same time. He really takes the time to get to know his client!

Their early closing hours starting on Fridays is getting frustrating. Will be looking into a different gym.

Great gym with great energy drink selection I drive 30 miles to exercise because of the machine selection

Very clean and up to date gym. George at the front desk is always nice and greets me when I come in?

My son and I signed up recently and so far happy with it. Plenty of equipment good overall vibe.

Tried this gym for the first time and I loved it. Stephanie helped out a lot, she was awesome!

The showers are a disgrace. All of them are broken, no soap, cold water only, low pressure.

the machines are very dirty, the men's restrooms are very dirty and I smell very bad

Clean and friendly gym! Lauren PT is amazing! Makes working out fun and doable.

I joined the gym a month ago and have had nothing but a great experience. -Joe

Great for the price with friendly staff especially George, who helped me out.

Stephanie is so nice and welcoming. Always great seeing her when I’m there!

Organized, covid protocols, work out equipment, friendly and helpful staff.

Best gym in the area! Cool people and just a clean/nice facility overall

Amazing gym! Super clean and great staff. Stephanie was so much help :)

I got a problem with my online sign-in. Mike was very kind and helpful.

It's a great gym. Very good energy and friendly staff. Well lit too!

It's a nice gym and close to my house. It's also priced very well.
