Clean gym. Good value. Would be nice if they had some lighter weights (2-3-5)for rehabbing … haven’t seen any?♀️

Used to be a great gym - now it’s extremely over run but kids with no gym etiquette and it’s very dirty. Bummer, but definitely going elsewhere!

Gym membership is a scam. I called and canceled my membership, but Fitness 19 continued to charge my credit card. I put a stop payment on it since I had moved and wasn't using the gym membership. When I called again, they insisted that I had to come in person to cancel my gym membership. I explained that I could not, but despite this, they have now sent it to collections. These predatory gym membership practices are highly discouraging, and I wouldn't recommend them.

I used to go to this gym for 4, 5 years back when i was in Seattle, before i leave Seattle for east coast. It used to be very small and cozy gym that weight lifting addict like me would get all their daily dozes of weight lifting, some times twice a day. I left the gym because bunch of noisy high schoolers were roaming around the gym, and they're so loud and noisy. Boy, i lost it once, and was so close to beat them up all one day, but I'm glad i didn't, after all they're just bunch of annoying kids. I used to know the management. Very nice people, and i respected them very much, but I have no idea why they let the gym ruined.

Been going to this gym over a year, and was great at first. But sad to say it’s been overrun by teenagers that hover around in large groups. Props to them for getting out lifting but this place is just too small and some don’t know anything about gym etiquette. The worst part is that equipment condition has plummeted over the months, and the gym is so run down now. At this point every barbell is horribly bent and needs replaced. It’s sad how bad this gym went downhill, and i’ll probably be cancelling my membership very soon. Fix your equipment and get a handle on your business.

Great price, decent equipment, and the staff is all really nice. That said, the general gym etiquette, and enforcement of their literally 2 rules (no bags in the weight room and don't drop the weights, there are no olympic platforms) is really lacking here. Maybe it's just a matter of "you get what you pay for" but it's become increasingly unruly over the past year or so. High school kids picking up every terrible gym habit, with their bags, belts, and shoes strewn across the room, chest bumping and yelling loudly while their buddy clangs his 600 pound sumo deadlift a couple inches off the ground, making the whole experience awful and disruptive for anyone in the vicinity. Weights and benches are constantly misplaced, and people routinely take extensive personal calls on speaker.Just not a great environment to get a peaceful workout in, which is a bummer because upwards of 95% of the patrons adhere to the simplistic and effective code of conduct that is prevalent across most gyms I have been to.

I left Fitness 19 Ballard several years ago. Out of the blue, I started getting marketing text messages from them, starting with the phrase "You've consented to receive..."Consent is not something that you can unilaterally tell me that you have, Fitness 19. If I had ever considered coming back to the gym, this is the reason I never will.

I’ve been a member of this gym for 2.5 years, and it was great at first, but it has gone downhill so much that I have to rate it one star. In the last year, this gym has been overrun by 16-17 year olds. I applaud those kids for getting in the gym so young, HOWEVER, they are incredibly disruptive and rude towards everyone else that goes there. They act like they run this gym - which is actually true because the management hired them as employees! The ones that aren’t employees still sit behind the desk with their friend and have access to private information of the customers. They don’t treat the equipment with care or disinfect the machines, they take their shirts off to take selfies in the mirrors, they are running around and giving piggyback rides to each other. This is a tiny gym, and they often congregate in groups of 7 people around machines, which makes it difficult to get around the space. I even saw what looked to be a 10 year old unsupervised there today. The owners need to get back in this gym and make it what it used to be. All of my friends have left this gym because of the negligence and disrespect and I plan to soon as well if this doesn’t get fixed soon. You’re better off going to planet fitness if you want a cheap gym membership.

Big fan of Fitness 19. Lots of equipment, pretty darn clean, and friendly staff. I've done a few personal training sessions, too, and they were great. On top of all of that, it's super cheap. Nothing to complain about!

Great basic gym with all the essentials for a low price. Beware the afternoons however, as a large group of high schoolers come in pretty regularly and act exactly how you would expect- loud, dropping weights, not cleaning up after themselves, etc. Just kids being kids, but best get your workout in the mornings or evenings to avoid the annoyance factor.

Amazing price, staff, and quality of equipment. Everyone in the reviews that is upset about teenagers being in the gym is being a baby. Everyone pays the same amount , and it’s a shared space. Not to mention this gym is so much cheaper than LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and most big name gyms. Overall I give this gym 10/10!

TOO MANY KIDS HERE!!! My husband and I are in our 30s and have been coming here for years but for some reason this past year we’re noticing an influx of school kids (age 12-17) swarming the gym. The kids are everywhere - there’s not just 1 or 2 - and limit the equipment further. They also don’t show the same hygiene and basic etiquette as everyone else, never wiping anything down after usage.We’ve always viewed the gym as an adult environment and never had to share the space with children in the past. Having groups of kids playing around, being loud, and making you feel like you’re at the mall while you’re trying to work out is distracting.We may have to look for a new gym nearby unless they raise the age requirement, which is a shame because Fitness 19 has otherwise been very convenient.

The best gym I've found in Seattle for weightlifting, rarely too crowded, mostly casual and friendly gym goers, always squeaky clean, great staff.
