I called them to cancel my membership few months back due to to COVID and I was told it has been taken care of. This month I get charged for $39 + $10 suddenly and when I called they say I need to send a letter. I would stay away.

I'm thrilled to see that Fitness 19 was able to reopen after the State allowed them to. I have no idea where the other reviewers got their info. It's only a month to month agreement and an annual fee 1 time per year. My husband wanted to cancel his membership because he can workout at work and they totally understood and we had one more payment just like when we joined! We love the staff and community feel!

They deducted 39$ annual fee + monthly charges for the services i never used. Be careful with the membership agreement. Your membership signed for an year continues forever and billed automatically.

No notifications from the staff on account activity. Strongly do not recommend.
Even during COVID SITUATION ... This is NOT FAIR !!!!
BEWARE !!!!!

**Update**
The rude/unprofessional guy at the front told me that they did send email and notifications before charging the bank accounts. I guess they forgot to add my email to their list. Wow . . Very convenient for them that they did not miss my bank account when they decided to reopen. Well, I really hope your dishonesty take your business down to the ground!

Havent gone to that Gym in about a year. Wanted to cancel right after Covid 19 started but the gym was closed and there is no other way to cancel other than going there or sending them a certified letter. Today I saw a charge on my credit card of $50 so it looks like they opened, charged the month and and also renewed my membership. No email sent about it or notice in any way that they will reopen. Very convenient for them to make money out of the situation. Speaks very poorly of management. I'm also a member of Lifetime Fitness and and they send me like 5 notices before automatically reinstating my membership. I guess you guys are entitled to everyone's money without any questions asked right?

Comparatively small but has all the amenities I need - free weights (dumbells up to 110lbs), machines, stationary bikes, treadmills, stair climber, elliptical machines, rowing machines, and just the right amount of soace for floor exercises/stretches. They also offer yoga classes & certified instructors if you feel like needing one. Place is clean, machines are older but well maintained. Most importantly, membership is only $10.

The gym has a good selection of equipment, friendly staff, and good hours. There are trainers on staff that can be hired. There is also a children's room so you can exercise without worrying about your young ones. The price for membership is very reasonable. The only downsides are a lack of a locker room (though there are changing rooms) and that it can get quite busy at times so wait times for the limited number of squat racks and benches can be frustrating. Overall I would easily recommend it to anyone.

TL;DR this place just barely has enough equipment to get the job done if you're goals are strength, conditioning, or some combination of the two. This place does not work for those interested in Olympic lifts or crossfit. The staff are friendly, although the trainers are what you'd expect from a globo gym (they look good but mostly don't know a whole lot about training). The price is 10 bucks per month.

While the price is pretty hard to beat, the equipment situation is serviceable but not ideal if your goal is to build strength; I will say it's better than planet fatness. They have plenty of treadmills, stationary bikes, and ellipctals (although these occasionally fill up during peak hours), as well as plenty of resistance machines that mostly go unused. The free weight area occupies the back 1/3rd of the gym and has 2 squat racks (one with adjustable safeties and one with fixed safeties), 2 flat bench press stands (no safeties), 1 incline bench press (also no safeties), about 5 or 6 adjustable benches, dumbbells from 2.5-120 lbs, and 1 obligatory Smith machine. There are 5 barbells in total 4 of which are standard powerlifting bars (not sure what brand) while the last one is some sort of extra thicc and extra heavy (50 lbs instead of 45) bar with very aggressive knurling.

If you are following a strength training program, you should be able to do all the standard exercises like squats, deadlifts, bp, etc. and most assistance/accessory work that doesn't involve chains, bands, or require adjustable safety pins in a power rack. The problem is it can be hard to find an unused squat rack or bench press especially during peak hours. The free weight area as a whole is pretty crowded with equipment, so unfortunately it's not uncommon for someone to walk over your bar as you're deadlifting or duck under your bar to grab a 10 lb plate from your rack while you're squatting.

If you want to perform Olympic lifts, there are no bumper plates or platforms and unless you can very, very gently lower the weights, you will end up having some comments from the staff.

In general, the staff and trainers are very friendly. Some of the trainers clearly just picked up some credential online and have never actually gotten strong or fit, some are clearly on steroids and don't have particularly useful advice for people who aren't, and some are legitimately knowledgeable but none of them are great at coaching the basic lifts. I personally have never been warned by staff about deadlifting or chalk, but I know people who make a mess with their chalk have gotten talked to about it and I've seen people pulling 500+ lbs get told they need to lower the weights more quietly despite them lowering the weight with perfect form.

Thank you Fitness 19 Farmington! I only left this location because I moved out of state. Great price on a city fill of high costcost! This facility was always clean and had working equipment. Trainers were ALWAYS friendly and knowledgeable.

Had enough dumbbells, barbells / free weights, cable machines, exercise machines, and cardio machines.

Been a member for four years. It’s a small gym, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Good equipment. Sometimes the towels used to wipe down machines after use are soaked and look dirty. Overall it’s a good deal for a small local gym.

Some are complaining that it is hard to cancel. That has not been my experience. Both my husband and I have each canceled once, and come back many months later to sign up again (canceled because we weren’t going). You have to go in to cancel, but it’s very simple and they don’t give you a hard time. Easy process.

My wife wanted us to switch to a local gym closer to our house and maybe even save some money after we cancelled our previous membership due to a work related injury I had.

They were running an offer at the time but when you went to sign up, that low rate obviously had a catch. I ended up signing my wife and I at a much higher monthly cost and took them up on their free one-on-one with a trainer offer for first time subscribers.

The trainer was a teenager and extremely inexperienced. I had taken a long break from training due to a work related accident and had put on weight so I wasn't as agile nor had the endurance as before the weight gain. I insisted he didn't push me too much but he must had thought I was making excuses or wanted to show me how optimally his teenage body works. There wasn't much in the way of questions.

Needless to say I went to cancel my membership because my wife never went once and my experience was extremely unpleasant.

When I went in to cancel they simply refused to give me the cancellation forms to sign. Offer after offer trying to keep me on a monthly payment that I would not utilize. I also couldn't help notice that whilst they were shuffling between managers they were talking about me in whispers (probably how I failed miserably with the trainer and to my shame that I had a work related accident that I had no control over and kept me bed bound atrophying my muscles and putting on weight, to my shame that I decided to join a gym and make a difference in my life, I deserved every one of their snide smirks).

When they finally finished haggling and agreed to cancel my membership they topped another two months one for myself and one for my wife because they didn't get a 30 day cancellation notice. Also my wife had to sign the cancellation herself even though they had no problem accepting her as a member with my signature (made my wife go and sign). I paid and that was my wonderful experience on my way to better physical health, encouraged, motivated and persuaded by the local fitness gurus.

For a similar experience I highly recommend you sign up today. You will be pleasantly surprised with memories to last a life time.

This is an awesome club! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Club and equipment is always clean and kept in good repair. Before we joined, we were given a one-week pass and received no pressure to sign a contract during that week. Two years later, when we, sadly, moved from the area and had to end our membership, we encountered no problem then either. If you are looking for a health club that accommodates members of any age or fitness level without any of the BS you usually expect from less scrupulous clubs, Fitness 19 of Farmington Hills is it!

Staff is very friendly and helpful and the people that workout there are incredibly nice and friendly as well.

Just signed up at this gym last Sunday! So far So Good, Facilities are Clean, Gym is busy, but not over crowded. I tend to work out after I get off work and some other gyms I have been to have been super packed at that time. Like I say I have only been there a handful of times so far but the other gym members and the staff all seem friendly. My wife also signed up at the gym and she takes our kids to the child care when she works out. She told me last time she went to work out the kids had so much fun play with the other kids that they didn't want to leave when she finished her work out. The play room is not that big but they have toys and cartoons\movies to keep the kids entertained. All in all for the price this place is hard to beat!

Due to work circumstances, I have to maintain two gym memberships. I belong to LA Fitness and Fitness 19. I think Fitness 19 is a much better bang for your buck. The equipment is kept in great condition, the people who workout there are very friendly, and the personal training is amazing. If you are truly looking to get into shape, I would tell you to ask for Jesse, hands down the best trainer I have ever met.

I just transferred here from another Fitness 19 location. The equipment is in decent shape and the patrons are nice. There's a small area for stretching or floor work. The parking situation isn't great as it's in a downtown location, so it's hard to get in on days when festivals or farmers markets are going on. Don't like how they act like they're doing a huge favor when they say "usually {service x} costs this much, but I can do it for this cost instead."

If you thought it couldnt get any worse than Planet fitness, think again. Fitness 19 is THE WORST gym i've ever had the displeasure of attending. First off, its always overcrowded. There are way too many people crammed into such a little space. If you want to do free weights better get used to people constantly bumping into you and always getting in the way. On top of always having to wait for other people to finish using the weights you want to use. The "changing rooms" always permeate the stink of curry and dirty smelly feet. Its DISGUSTING. There were even flies in there a couple times. The bathrooms are about as clean as a porta-potty and smell like one too. The staff is real friendly until they get your signature and your money then they're all rude. I hired one of their "Trainers", his name was Jesse and i couldn't have been more disappointed and annoyed at how i wasted my money on that. He was about as intelligent as an 8 year old and made my girlfriend very uncomfortable constantly checking her out and trying to sneak a peek down her shirt. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. They also constantly vacuum the gym while people are working out on the machines. Because that's what you want right? A dirty dusty vacuum in your face while you're working out. And of course the loud gangster rap they like to play on the overhead speakers all the time is just awesome too. This gym is horrible and I highly recommend any other place, even "Planet" is better.

Just wanted to post a review about Fitness 19 on Farmington Rd. I recently had to cancel my membership, but just wanted to let people know what a nice professional staff they have at this location. Always friendly and knew your name upon arrival. The trainers are very knowledgeable as well as the staff. I never experienced any problems with equipment. Things break down, that's only natural with the amount of usage they get at this location, but it's how fast they are back up and running. The cost for a membership is very economical and affordable. Thanks for a nice job.

Its pretty good to get a basic workout in. Its not a huge place, but they have a good number of treadmills, ellipticals and bikes, along with all the usual weight machines and free weights.
