Love this place! It's close, members are friendly, and it's clean (for the most part). Since I'm not into headphones, I'd appreciate better things on the big TVs. Not interested in so many news channels while I'm trying to work out. And I have to ask...where is Emma (Ema?)??!! She's the best. Always cheery, always greeting, always helpful, always working. A new girl was signing up a new member the other day, and omgosh the poor guy already looked so bored and unamused. When Emma signed me up, she had so much enthusiasm and cheered me on that I had my husband come in and sign up too! Anyway, I hope you all didn't lose her because that would be a shame.

This club is awesome. Not the largest club but what they do have is an awesome staff and clean facility. The staff is extremely nice and help with anything. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a clean and friendly gym

I love working out here. It's a great atmosphere and not over crowded. The staff is amazing and always friendly. There's plenty of TVs so always something to watch if you want to. The music I so great and gets you through your work out. The facility is always clean. Highly recommend.

I signed up for this gym mainly for Zumba classes. I take all classes with Melanie. She is one of the hardest working instructors I know. Her classes have high-intensity choreos and it's a great cardio workout. Her choreos are also really easy to follow even for beginners. She is constantly working on new choreos so there are always new songs and never gets boring. I highly recommend her classes!

Because my family is in Brea I spend a great deal of time there when I'm not up in Burbank. And I paid for a one year membership at this gym. Here's my issue and it's as simple as this: If you're a hardcore MAGA supporter, a COVID denier and/or vaccine denier, as well as an anti-science, anti-fact Q-Anon acolyte, and believe that the January 6th insurrection, which attempted to overthrow our democratic electoral system, was just a friendly tour of the Capitol building - then I promise, you will LOVE this place. Why do I say that? Since I have been working out at Fitness 19, at least one of the big screens has been tuned to the OAN (One American Network), also known as The Trump Channel. Brea is not a hardcore MAGA community, not at all. It voted Biden in 2020 and Hillary in 2016, but this isn't about politics... Right or Left. This is about maintaining standards of decency... and things have become worse... Please read on. My complaints have largely been ignored, and it seems that management has doubled down, and now has Newsmax (which makes OAN look tame in comparison) on two big screens in opposite sides of the gym with one of them next to The Fox News channel. There's not even an attempt to be subtle about promoting WHITE NATIONALISTIC FASCIST LEANINGS via multiple monitors tuned to those networks. No person of color will want to frequent this place. Certainly, I find it very uncomfortable. I'm a Latino with family that served in the armed forces fighting against these kinds of deadly ideologies. This profound lack of sensitivity to community standards is egregious, and frankly offensive. OAN and Newsmax are not mere ultra-right, fake news channels... (Hell, I'm okay with Fox News especially if they balance it with CNN or MSNBC); but OAN and Newsmax are extremist nationalistic, anti-democracy, propaganda machines catering to an audience that consists of 10% of the electorate at most. On multiple occasions I let the front desk people know that this isn't acceptable. I also am more than happy TO NOT SEE ANY NEWS NETWORKS on the big screens if that's what it takes... I also know I'm not alone in these sentiments. I've spoken to many others in the gym who find the programming absolutely disgusting, and not reflective of our community values. In the end I go there to clear my head and workout... The incessant broadcasts of media machines of mendacious outrage have no place in a community gym. No one who's there to workout and better themselves should have to confront that kind negative and divisive onslaught. It's counter to everything any one working out seeks to accomplish. As things exist now, I don't need to look up from the exercise machine I'm on and see the My Pillow idiot spewing his latest conspiracy theories of China hacking election machines that were never connected to the Internet in the first place. This is a simple fix for them. And I do plan to go to corporate if something isn't done. As a community, we don't and I don't need to be subjected to this 24/7 onslaught of divisive propaganda... Pure propaganda... If management responds by either having the TV monitors tune in to a different and real news network, or ANY other network - I don't care what it is... It can be the Pez Channel... I will remove this review, because otherwise, the place is always clean and the machines are well-maintained. And the regular staff are very good people. Thank you. P.S. - I would've taken pictures, but frankly I'm sick of looking up at the wall and watching the latest ultra right-wing, White-nationalistic, fascist rant playing on multiple big-screens.

This gym is terrible. During the pandemic I tried to cancel my membership while they were closed. I had lost my job, I was no longer living in the area, and I was literally not using the gym at all, because they were closed. During this time they were still charging me for my membership. When I tried to call to cancel I was only able to talk to a third party call center that couldn't give me a refund, couldn't cancel my membership, and quite frankly knew nothing about the gym. I tried emailing the management and they did nothing. The only way I could stop the payments was to call my bank and have them block all the transactions coming from them. I just got a text today telling me they were putting my membership into collections. This gym is not worth the money. Businesses like this are despicable money hungry wastes of cash. I would recommend this gym to anybody.

This gym is always super clean and the staff is always helpful. I would say the only downside to this gym is that it is a little small and it doesn't have things like a pool, sauna, etc. But overall it's a really great gym

when I went to Fitness 19 for the first time the staff at the front desk were very nice and welcoming. The gym is very clean and well taken care of. The bathrooms are also very clean and not left dirty like other gyms. Can't wait to go back to the gym !!

I was on my way home from work tonight, waiting away time in traffic and decided to pop in with a few questions about membership types. The franchise owner was very helpful and gave me a quick walk through of the location! He was very respectful of my time and I appreciate that he walked me through himself instead of just telling me where things were. The facility itself was super clean and has all the basics you could want in a gym. Plenty of cardio machines and plenty of weight machines, as well as free weights. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the area!

This one place is so clean and the environment there is very friendly there was an employee by the name of Vicky who went above and beyond to make sure I had a great expert there and if I needed any help with their equipment (which were very clean as well) if you're looking to get in shape and have people there to encourage you this is the place.

Such a great place to workout! We came from out of town looking for a gym and this place was totally with us. They worked with us on a price for the week and it was totally reasonable. The front desk employees were super friendly and helpful. Thy gym itself is a good size and they have pretty much everything you can think of. It's clean and everyone wipes machines after use.
