If you live in Ballard you have lots of great gym options, but I wouldn’t call any of them cheap. From the uber pricey yoga studios that line Old Ballard Ave to the reasonably priced Ballard Health Club, what if you want to go somewhere that’s just weights, machines and doesn’t cost you $100, $50 or even $30 a month?

Welcome to the hood, Fitness19. They are the simple approach to a gym that is just a gym. No Zumba, Nia or whatever else is hip these days. It’s just cardio equipment, weights and strength training. They do offer a kids room for those parents who like to get their sweat on. And you get all of this for….NINETEEN DOLLARS A MONTH. No scams, no contracts or dues and your membership will never go above $19. Seriously, that is just ridiculously awesome for those who just want a gym and nothing more.
Plus, word on the street is if you’re the first 199 to sign up they’ll drop the enrollment cost and monthly fee to $12! So while the gym doesn’t open until September, now’s a better time than ever to plan ahead.
