Fitness 19 187 South Turnpike Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93111

"I have been going to Fitness 19 for about a month now and I like the fact that all the equipment is working, the facility is nicely lit and has a nice layout. A big improvement over my last gym."

"It’s great. Every you need for a good workout is available. The equipment is top notch. The facility is clean. The staff is helpful. If I would change anything it would be a few more showers."

"**UPDATE** Fitness 19 reached out to me after this was posted, and they resolved the issue and stopped collection. Original review: Sent me to collections after I cancelled since I was moving away. I was a member for over a year. This gym and the company behind it are involved in some extremely dishonest and fraudulent business practices. It is VERY hard to EVER cancel your membership to this gym, even after you’ve been a member for the full year contract they require when you sign up. You can’t cancel in person and they won’t respond to emails. Even if you cancel, they will still try to come after you and send you to collections, hoping you’ll just pay to avoid a negative mark on your credit."

"The place is very popular, even on weekdays many people. The gym equipment looks well-groomed, not too old, there is enough space for training, there is a room for group classes.Good ventilation and air conditioning is a big plus. Changing rooms and showers are small. Lots of non-working cardio machines 4-5"

"Second Edit: Cancelling a membership at Fitness 19 has been nothing short of an ordeal. Apparently, the new manager, Theo, has taken away the ability to cancel memberships from all of his staff. This wouldn’t be an issue if he was always present... however he is almost never there. First Edit: I am very impressed by how quickly Joe, the manager at Fitness 19, called to apologize about what had happened earlier today. He has excellent customer service and from that phone call alone, I bumped this review from 1 star to 4 stars. I wish his employees were as attentive as he was on the phone with me as they would coming to work on time. Original Review: Fitness 19 is a reasonably priced gym with new equipment, artificial turf, and overall a good place to go... when they open on time. Their Saturday hours are from 7am-8pm. Today, I planned to workout in the morning because it’s the only time I can go. Unfortunately for me and everyone else who came at 7am, the opening staff was nowhere to be seen. As you can see in the photo attached, after about 15 minutes of waiting, the other members waiting decided to warm up. I left after 30 minutes. This is not the first this has happened at Fitness 19. Something needs to be done about the opening crew not showing up on time to their shifts. If you’re someone who works out in the morning like me, it may be better to look elsewhere."
