The tabata classes held Tuesday and Thursday by Muriah are the best! It's a great hard workout that you can do at any level. We do different exercises all the time so it's never the same and she's a great instructor!

I have only been a member for 3 months and I absolutely love it at Fitness 19! I have been training with Mike for 2ish months and I have so much fun training with him. He has helped me get stronger and work on muscles I never thought I should work on. He has helped me get my back stronger and not be in so much pain as I use to be. Mike is so easy to talk with and he makes me laugh and I now enjoy working out. If you need a personal trainer I would highly recommend Mike and trust me you won't regret training with him!

I have been a member of Fitness 19, Coon Rapids, for approximately 18 months. During this time, I have employed four personal trainers. The latest, Angela Wiborg, has worked with me since July. Her position demands special communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, initiative, and adaptability. She succeeds by relying on sound, well-researched, and easily understood instruction, unflagging enthusiasm, and a manner that fosters cooperation and mutual respect among clients and staff members.

Of particular note is Ms. Wiborg's ability, as a teacher, to recognize the broad aspect of physical fitness and the factors that contribute to it, as she constructs exercise programs to meet individual needs. I am fortunate to work with her.

Fitness 19 has closed 2 locations that I know of in Minnesota. The blaine and the Brooklyn Park location were unexpectedly closed. I was an unfortunate customer who signed up for 1 year, paid in advance and the company refused to respond to my reimbursement requests after closing. They suggested that I can attend another location (Coon rapids) for the remainder of my contract, however with limited locations this was too far from my work and home. They have poor business practice and do not care about their customers. I won't be surprised if not long from now the Coon Rapids location will be closed. I have been told that the owner had struggled to pay his finances. Don't invest your hard earned money at this gym at any location.

I absolutely love coming to this gym. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The gym is clean and has everything I need for a nice price.
My favorite thing about this gym is Angela, my personal trainer! I initally started with her at the Brooklyn Park location last year. When she trasferred to Coon Rapids I decided to follow her even though it's about a 30 min drive. It's totally worth it. She pushes me and motivates me to be better and we are always trying something new!

Angela is the best personal trainer! She really listens to what my fitness goals are and pushes me to work harder to reach them. Not only does she work me through difficult workouts while we are training together, but she also writes customized "homework" workouts that I feel comfortable doing on my own. I am seeing excellent results and am feeling more condident in my skills and ability every day. I would highly reccommend Angela as a trainer to both beginners and people with more advanced skill sets as she is able to customize a workout plan to fit all abilities. Love her!!!

I have been going to Fitness 19 for a few years now. It is the best fit for my family. Nice casual atmosphere, where you can con in and just get what you want done without any fuss. I have had a little training experience in the past, but have been training with Jamie and love it. Jamie is very motivating and you can definitely tell fitness and health are a strong passion. I love having the extra push to keep myself motivated and in check. Especially with summer coming. His workouts are challenging yet different enough to keep me going without getting bored. To me it is great to leave the gym knowing I have had a great workout, but will not have been pushed to the point of experiencing too much pain for too long after. I would definitely recommend Fitness 19 as a gym and would highly recommend Jamie Stute as a trainer!

I've been a member here since 2006 and love it! It has all the essential equipment needed to get a good sweat on! It is wonderfully clean and organized and the staff are happy and helpful. I highly recommend this gym for an affordable option to stay active and healthy. The training manager, Jamie, was super helpful with my weight training and I love the workout schedule he has me doing - a mixture of cardio and strength.

I have been training with Jamie for almost 6 months and he is a great trainer. He keeps me motivated and switches it up so I don't get bored. He is fun and tough. He pushes me to do more than I would if i were doing it on my own. I like the gym and the bright atmosphere.

I searched all around to find a gym for me and my daughter and am extremely pleased with choosing Fitness 19 in Coon Rapids. Initially I was looking for a personal trainer for my daughter but after she was working with her trainer for about 2 weeks I decided to work with one also. My trainer is Jamie and he is always a joy to work with...even as he's putting the screw to me during training ;-) I have been working with him for 2 weeks now and am making great progress. The training doesn't just involve exercising but it also encompasses your diet in order for you to achieve your goals

I have been a member for over 3 years & I love it! Everyone is so friendly, the staff keeps the equipment clean, & the trainers are fantastic! I've learned everything I know about a healthy lifestyle from Jamie & the other trainers!

This review is based solely on my personal training experience with Nikkai Mills. I had been wanting to sign up for training sessions for quite some time to learn better techniques and variety, along with getting in better shape and toning. The opportunity presented itself and Nikkai became my trainer. He has been an incredible trainer as he listens and follows what needs/wants I have out of my training sessions. He is incredibly creative when it comes to finding new ways to hit target muscles which keeps things interesting. Nikkai pushes me through the challenging times and is my cheerleader throughout each session. In my first month, I hit most of my goals and am excited for the next level. I would recommend Nikkai to anyone who would be interested in personal training!

I started at fitness 19 about 3 months ago, I got a personal trainer right away because I needed an extra push. I have played sports all my life, and lifted weights. I have never been pushed so hard to succeed before as I did with my personal trainer here at fitness 19. They are very knowledgable trainers and extremely helpful in getting you to reach your goals! Reasonable priced. Definitely worth the money!

I've been a member of Fitness 19 for 2 years with my girlfriend. I joined because I had moved into the area and needed a new gym. After stopping in and talking with one of the personal trainers I was excited. About 8 months later he got an opportunity out of state and left. The gym has been going downhill ever since. They wait to fix the pads on equipment all at once so literally you have 4 people waiting to use a single bench, etc. When management is approached about it they just say sorry and it lasts for a week. The hours are not that great either. They have those super members that are always at the gym, and spend about 2 hours on the same piece of equipment most of the time not even using it. This is frustrating when you are waiting to use it. On the flip side the quality of the equipment and variety (not quantity) is very good as most is life fitness or hammer strength. The price is good as well if you aren't interested in paying for a pool and all the extras you don't use.

As I write this I am working on cancelling my membership to go somewhere else that the employee turnover is not so high and they are more professional, along with more equipment and 24/7. Yesterday I stopped in to cancel and since the manager wasn't working that day I couldn't and was told to come back on Monday (it was Saturday)... Through reading all the other cancellation reviews I hope I don't have a similar nightmare.

Fitness 19 has everything you're looking for in a gym. It has a wide variety of both cardio and weight equipment, great hours, and a very friendly and attentive staff. The trainers are knowledgeable, and really seem to enjoy what they do. I have to put in a special word for my trainer, Jay Kelly, who is fantastic to work with. Jay is helping me push myself and my level of fitness farther than I thought possible, and I'm always impressed with his knowledge and creativity during our sessions. I recommend this gym for anyone who wants a real place to work out without a lot of flashy signs and gimmicks to get you in the door. I've been going to Fitness 19 for more than 5 years now, and couldn't be happier.

Spend your money somewhere else! They advertise being low cost, but that is because it is next to impossible to cancel, and they will literally charge your card whenever they feel like it for amounts that make no sense at all. I was supposed to be paying $17 a month, fell behind one month, then was charged $27 one day, and another $61 a week later! And no, that was not my annual dues, which were only $29. This place is a joke. Seriously, spend your money on somewhere worthwhile.

Have been a member for 7 years and love it. Friendly staff and clean. Has all the free weights, machines and cardio needed.

I also put my health insurance information on file and if I go 12 times a month I get reimbursed so that has worked great.

I bring my 15 year old son with me occasionally and he feels comfortable in the gym, too.

Glad I switched...saving a ton of money and prefer to shower at home anyway.

Absolutely terrible business. I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone. For one, it's very awkward when you're inside with trainers walking around 1:1 with other people and just standing there and staring at the person they are training. Weird. What kind of training is that?
Second and most important, I put my membership on hold for several months during the school semester. However, during that period of time, I went through a very bad relationship and due to threats to my life, I had to leave the state in March. I contacted Fitness 19 and explained this to them and they told me over the phone that they would cancel my membership. It's now August, and I have recieved a notice from ABC Finanical Services and Fitness 19 stating that my account is past due, the card they have on file is invalid (which it is because I had to change my account when I moved). They are stating that if I don't pay them within 30 days, my account will be turned over to collections. After spending hours on the phone, Fitness 19 calls me back today stating that they have no record of ever receiving this phone call that I made to them and that there are no notes made on my account regarding this. They also tell me that if in order to cancel I would have had to gone into the gym and signed the paper OR write a letter. I was NEVER told that I needed to write a letter and since I was out of state, it was impossible to go into the gym.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Therefore, I have been billed for the past several months even though I cancelled my membership. They apparently just have no record of this! Amazing how they lost it.
The manager is rude and very unprofessional. I think that my life is more important than their gym. Terrible business, spend you money elsewhere.

I have only been a member of the gym for 6 months now and overall I am happy. I wish the hours were open a little later but that is my only problem. I go at all different times of the day and on different daysof the week with company, and there never seems to be a problem getting on any machines (treadmill or elipitcal). The machines are well maintained only once have I seen one broke and it was fixed in a matter of days. There is large variety on machines for weight lifting and 2 different areas with free weights. I haven't used there personal trainers services yet but I will soon. The daycare is awesome, people are always friendly and the kids don't want to go home. Plus how can you beat their prices!!! I paid out of pocket for a year for both myself and husband and the total was $180. I know our insurance would have covered it but by paying in advance we got a better deal than having to pay monthly, plus if my life got busy and I couldn't attend 12 times a month as my insurance requires I would have paid more out of pocket when you add in the sign up costs. In our case since we paid up front they waived a lot of their fees, overall I plan on keeping our memberships for a while.

I signed up and was happy with my experience until I cancelled my membership because I'm moving. I called and the girl told me to hurry in cause she didnt know when her manager was going to leave. I arrived and waited for a while and when the manager was ready he told me that I had to hand write and sign on a blank sheet of paper that I was cancelling and said that he had to do it because it was after business hours and someone would get mad.....wtf. I have heard many negative things about this place and their billing. Well sure enough the very next day I had 2 seperate debits from my checking one for $36 and one for $62 why am I getting charged AFTER I have cancelled? Why do I have to write down my cancellation on paper? Why dont they have a form stating their obligations for a cancellation? If you're in the Coon Rapids, Anoka, Andover area, just pay the little more and go somewhere else!
