| - I understand why people give this Fitness 19 low ratings. They take longer than they should to repair machines sometimes, and the gym is not immaculate by any means.
But when I go to the gym, I'm not looking for luxury to sweat in. I'm looking for somewhere cheap, dependable, and straightforward. Fitness 19 has been exactly that for me, for two years now. The other members are there for the same reason I am-to get in, to get sweaty, and to get out. Everyone is very friendly, those of us who have a regular schedule always say hello to each other, but there is no gym clique environment. What I also appreciate greatly as a single young women is the lack of obnoxious young men showing off and trying to pick up a phone number or two. I can work out in peace here.
The highlight of this gym though, is its morning front desk man, Jim. He learned my name the second time I showed up, and has never failed to genuinely ask how I am, every time I walk through the doors. He noticed when I didn't show up for a few weeks because of some tough life situations, and he made it a point to ask when I finally returned. He is a man who does his job far above and beyond the description, and cares about every person who comes in, no matter what.
If you want luxury, by all means go elsewhere. But if you want a straight foreword, no-nonsense gym, Fitness 19 is the place for you.
