I like their equipment. They have excellent customer service. The cleanliness of the place is an and ldquo;Aand rdquo;. They have a variety of equipment. They are open most days throughout the year. The only thing I can say that would be a negative is the only because it is so popular that it becomes very crowded at times.
Description of Work: I go to a gym called, The Wisconsin Athletic Club at Wauwatosa. I go about four times a week.

I am a member of this gym mainly because there are not any other full-service gyms in my area. The pros: the place is clean, nice lockers and locker room, towel service, and really good gym amenities (pool, machines, free weights, classes). The cons: the gym is a bit more expensive than what I am used to for these amenities (I previously lived in NYC) , especially since many classes require an upgraded membership or additional fees for a six-week class. But the real problem for me, and one which keeps me from going as often as I used to, is that the classes really aren't very good. I have had wonderful instructors at various gyms in the past and recently in other cities who taught me new techniques, helped me to develop my strength, and to learn better form. AT WAC, instructors play loud music and scream through their headsets and often talk about themselves a lot (and quot;I went mountain biking yesterday and etc etcand quot; or and quot;my friend and I spent all yesterday making this spin tape and etc etc). I am sure this is supposed to make the atmosphere fun and distract participants from any physical discomfort they may be feeling. But I find that it detracts from the experience. I wish instructors would create a calm, focused atmosphere where participants can develop technique and form. I have talked to management about this several times over the years. I find myself spinning and doing pilates at home more often, and I maintain my gym membership only because it is part of a family membership.

I cold called them after moving from Philadelphia. I loved my trainer back there and was apprehensive about their ability to provide adequate services in such a broad based club. My first interaction was with the and quot;chief of all the trainersand quot;, who matched me with someone who met my criteria for success. She is very flexible on the schedule and accomodates my schedule when it gets interrupted by last minute meetings.
Description of Work: First the club I use is the downtown location, not Wauwatosa. I contracted with a personal trainer there who uses their facilties. Her training and expertise are quite good and I have seen results in my improved strength and balance. I have been happy with their cleanliness, state of their equipment, quick response to appointment changes, fast checkin at the main desk, accessibility for parking in downtown.

I found that I enjoyed the group classes more than working out on the machines. The instructors are very encouraging and make the classes fun. I tried a variety of classes and have continued to go three times a week to the ones I like the most. Some of the more popular classes that they offer every day are Zumba and spin.
Description of Work: I joined the Wisconsin Athletic Club (WAC) because I needed to get more excercise. Since I wasn't sure if I would actually go regularly, I tried a trial run for a week that was free. I did a Fit U session with a trainer to find out what the WAC North Shore offered. He took me through the machines and gave me a tour of the building. Even though it was a busy time, there were machines available with a bunch of TVs on a variety of stations. Each of the different classrooms and gyms had a scheudle on the door, plus there is a monthly printed schedule. There is also a day care area and kids classes. They have an area in the front with computers, coffee, armchairs and tables. It felt like a community where people know each other. They have social events, too, and your membership allows you to go to any of the locations. I ended up getting a membership and am glad I did.

I used the facility a lot but my wife was uncomfortable with it and got discouraged; she stopped going after less than a month.
Description of Work: The facility was pretty good but the staff was pretty self centered; they concentrated on only certain members. Inever really felt welcome there.

They have two pools for members and free parking. I could not have picked a better place in Wisconsin. They have magnificent equipment. The tension on all the machines are for personal regulation so you do not overdo it. There are free trainers offered. The machines are on a first come, first serve basis. The staff is nice, but they are not chatty. They are there to work. They also offer many classes and they are family friendly.
Description of Work: The reason I go to the Wisconsin Athletic Club is so I can rebuild my core muscles since having my back surgery.

Every bit of my experience with the WAC has been outstanding. From the friendly greeting I get from Deb at 5:00 a.m. each morning to the fitness trainers to the clean facilities, everything is top notch. The classes are also great!

Great athletic club community. I've been both a member and a guest at two of the Wisconsin Athletic CLub locations. Locker rooms are clean and well equipped with toiletries for your use. Staff turnover was sometime high, but all personnel was very friendly and encouraging to the members/guests. Willing to give tours and free guest passes upon request. Personal trainers and various classes available.
Description of Work: Monthly membership to WAC, able to use at anytime and at any of their clubs.

My fiancee and I have been members for a few years. The WAC is by far the best facility. The staff is great, our daughter loves the child care, and the tanning and most classes are included in the gold membership which you will not find anywhere else! We give this club a thumbs up.

This company has five locations in the metro Milwaukee area. They are all clean, and staffed by very friendly people who get to know you by name. They provide towels, lockers, shaving cream, deodorant and other things that you won't have to worry about bringing along with you. I've tried all the local health clubs, and this one is the best! They truly treat you as a member, not just another customer. The staff enjoys their jobs, and you'll know it from talking to them.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A BETTER FITNESS CLUB. THE WAUWATOSA CLUB, WHICH I FREQUENT, IS ONE OF FIVE IN THE AREA. THE STAFF ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CALL YOU BY NAME. THE CLUB IS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND I SEE ALL LEVELS OF STAFF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR KEEPING IT CLEAN. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY INTRODUCING NEW CLASSES. THEY HAVE EXCELLENT PERSONAL TRAINERS AND MASSAGE THERAPISTS. THE PROXIMITY TO THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WISCONSIN AND FROEDTERT HOSPITAL MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO ENGAGE IN JOINT PROGRAMMING WITH THESE INSTITUTIONS. THEY HAVE TWO WONDERFUL POOLS, TWO GYMS, AND A SPIN STUDIO. PERIODICALLY, THEY SPONSOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR MEMBERS, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED IN THESE. I LOVE THE WAC! I'LL BE MOVING OUT OF TOWN SOON, SO I'LL REALLY MISS IT!
Description of Work: FOR $57 A MONTH, I GET ACCESS TO THIS WONDERFUL CLUB, WHERE I SWIM 3X A WEEK AND TAKE A WATER AEROBICS CLASS 1X A WEEK. I BARELY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CLUB'S MANY OFFERINGS. THEY HAVE A GREAT VARIETY OF EXERCISE CLASSES, MOST OF WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP FEE, AND STATE OF THE ART FITNESS EQUIPMENT.
