Wisconsin Athletic Club | Downtown Milwaukee

I was at the downtown location yesterday, grinding an intense stair climbing session with my music on full blast, sweating my balls off, and noticed some of the trainers laughing as the were passing by. I wasn’t positive what they were goofing about but we were making eye contact as they were passing by and it felt like they were laughing at me. I’m glad this is an inclusive feeling space, where the trainers set the example that’s it’s completely ok to crack jokes and laugh about/at one another. Tons of goofy looking folks here to crack jokes about!

Completely not worth the price for a gym that’s no better than the YMCA, they offer corporate discounts that discount nothing, the price is the exact same they just give you a 30 dollar coupon off the sign up price. I have no idea how a gym can survive when they expect people to pay 75+ every month when the local gyms which offer the exact same experience is less than half that price.

Good gym not great… I pay 89 dollars which is the same price as the Chicago Sports Fitness Club which the two aren’t even comparable. Mind you that’s with my military discount. The gym just doesn’t offer enough to justify prices. I think because it’s a "club" they are able to charge these prices but honestly it’s not worth it. I just have no other options in terms of downtown or surrounding areas. Lack of equipment, lack of space, and the price just doesn’t make sense. It’s like a YMCA for adults

Disgusting locker rooms, I don’t think the inside of the lockers have been wiped out in YEARS! Showers also are disgusting and need a thorough scrubbing top to bottom! Seen some type of green snot in one of the showers for over two weeks this summer. I only come here because the location is close to home, I prefer every other WAC besides this one, and personally this one has the worse "culture" but what can you expect from downtown. 😂 Gym equipment is well maintained, and I get a great workout when it’s not super packed, when packed sometimes there no treadmills to be used at all. Downstairs lobby also has a great breakfast & lunch thats pretty nice when it’s quiet.

Especially in the early mornings, I love this location. Friendly staff, very clean and with the change in how you pay for parking, I am super happy with making Downtown my home gym.

They make great use of the space despite it being smaller than the other WAC locations. Super convenient right in the middle of downtown and still has everything you need. Staff are always super nice and helpful. Everything is clean and looks new, overall good vibes.

Love the WAC! I joined last month and it’s been a great experience so far. Setting up my membership was very easy, and I was able to get multiple discounts, bringing my membership to a little over $60 a month. There’s a great selection of equipment and a lower level room that has more floor space. Just had my first personal training session with Taylor (you get two for free when you sign up) and it was amazing! Some of the machines give you a lot of information about your workouts. The locker rooms are super nice, I convince myself to go to the gym just so I can sit in the steam room or sauna after my workout. Definitely will be checking out other locations.
