This Wac location is one of the nicer locations in their network. The front of house is always smiling and welcoming, which shows they enjoy working there and are passionate about fitness. While they seem to get new equipment more regularly than other locations, maintenance on some old equipment seems to be harder to execute. The good: State of the art treads and bikes make cardio work enjoyable. A wide range of equipment and floor space to do your own strength training is also plentiful. The not so great: The rowers specifically in the workout area upstairs don't seem to be calibrated correctly. They also hold a wide number of special classes, both at the location as well as local parks to keep your fitness journey fresh. If you are looking for fitness community, join them for one of the activities they host at their onsite lounge. This location also does a nice job of keeping all areas clean and presentable. read more

Wisconsin Athletic Club - Gyms Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Very friendly staff, clean, well-equipped gym. I appreciate the separate women's area, the training staff, and variety of classes and amenities offered. The 2 free fit sessions received at joining are helpful to find a good fit with a trainer and get familiar with the equipment. I've enjoyed working with Bianca to get myself on track. It can get busy at times but I've had a great experience so far. read more

The club has just about everything you could need for your workout. Two floors of cardio equipment, machines, free weights, a gym, several group fitness studios, and the adult playground. One of my favorite things is the outdoor pool in the summer months. They have both family and adult only times for the pool, meet everyone's needs. It does get crowded (both the fitness floor and the pool) at times. But generally I am able to use what I want or need every time I visit. They could use more squat racks for sure, but not sure exactly where they'd fit them. The locker rooms are decent and have separate steam and saunas for men and women which I like. read more

See all

I used to absolutely love the WAC. Great instructors, great classes, pristine pool, etc. Rejoined after the pandemic and it is NASTY. The pools are so dirty with gunge kids use their nails to etch/write random stuff along the tiles, showers are caked in soap scum and often broken. Carpets have seen much better days. Amenities that were so nice to have have been discontinued in locker rooms and elsewhere. I could go on. It was so beautiful when it was new but, without maintenance and better attention to cleanliness, and due to internal politics that lost them some great instructors, it just isn't worth the cost. My understanding of policy changes about membership make it annoying and prohibitive to be a member who may need to be on/off due to schedule/seasonal location changes and so forth (people used to often and easily be just summer members or just winter members). Such a shame. read more

I've been a longtime WAC member and I don't see a need to go anywhere else. In my opinion you get what you pay for and although it's not "cheap" I don't think you receive a cheap experience either. Plus as with anything you're spending money on, if you use it you get your value. This club is one of the newest and they did a nice job on it. Coming to it from other locations it's always hard to acclimate to where the machines are, but that's to be expected. I still always feel like they could use more squat racks and bench presses, but I don't know if they'll ever fix that and that goes for most locations. Although this club seems to run out of lockers (at least at the beginning) I've never experienced it personally. They have plenty of cardio machines, a separate room for an adult playground (aka like american ninja warrior) and a "large" gym. It's still not the full length basketball court but they don't really want to draw that clientele anyway but worth mentioning. They also have a women's only work out area which is a nice touch for those feeling more self conscious about mixing in the free weights area with all the bros. For anyone looking to immediately counteract the work they put in, they also have a bar. They do trivia nights and other potluck and themed nights as well as Packer and other Wisconsin sport games. In the summer they have a nice outdoor pool that you can hang out by with your kids. Overall, definitely a nice location and one that I will continue to use as needed. read more

I'm surprised there aren't​ more reviews on this club, so I'll leave a long one trying to go over everything I would​ be curious to know! Not a spokesperson, I swear lol I wouldn't recommend​ any other gym and I've worked out everywhere else. The place is always clean, located in a convenient spot with tons of parking! They go out of their way to make this place​ really​ feel like a club and not just a gym. Let's just get to the elephant in the room. Memberships​ here are very affordable and are actually cheaper than anywhere​ else I've been. They offer discounts through different insurance companies, AAA and more! They can put your membership​ on hold if you leave for work or vacation and you can cancel at any time​; just give them one month​notice. For my husband and I to work out​ here it is $70 cheaper​ than if we were to stay at our local anytime fitness. No joke, No Lie, Just Facts. We were shocked when we found that out. They offer FREE classes to all members​, and a small fee if you want​ to bring a non-member friend. A few specialty classes require you to pay but it's​ only $20 and totally worth it. Those classes are typically special things like self-defense​class​s, advanced classes, adult swimming classes etc. Classes are held every day​ and there is such a wider range of classes you can do a different one every day​ so you never have to repeat​ a class. They do have an​ individual cycle room, that I am dying​ to try out. All the trainers seem super nice and have great working relationships with the members​ and each other. Once you sign up you get a free training session and after so many visits they also offer you vouchers for other things! An incentive​ to workout and stay fit. Lockers are offered inside a locker room; men, women and family ones. You give them your club card and they give you a key for the locker. Each locker is a tall locker so there is plenty of room for you to hang your coat, put your shoes down and it fits a nice size gym bag. It also has a shelf so you can put your valuables​s​ in a clear spot so they don't​ get lost. There is a pub in the gym, with a long bar and tables! Sometimes after a long workout,​ you need a beer to recharge your tank. The pub offers beer, wine and white claw type of drinks and they do food specials​ throughout the week. Monday is potato​ bar, Tuesday​ is taco, ​ etc. They also have pizza and small snacks. You can really tell they put in an effort for members​ to get to know each other​ and offer things inside the pub like trivia night(you can bring non-members​), live entertainment and even sports game viewing parties with spiecal give aways. The last​ party they gave away a suite with free drinks​ and apps for the bucks game!!! Inside you will find tons of your standard workout equipment (two levels worth) like treadmills, ellipticals​, bikes, weights, etc and other unique amenities​ such​s as... +Peloton bikes +Pool +Hot tub +Girls & Guys Sauna +GIrls & Guys Steam room +Locker rooms with showers and vanity spaces for women +Every variable of weight with half lb options +Basketball Court +Adult playground/Ninja Warrier Course +Brand new woodrun treadmills +All Treadmills and Ellipictals have Tv's +Daycare +Energy snacks and drinks for purchase like water, sports drinks, ​etc +Towels for sweatduring​g work out, Shower towels and towels to wipe down the equipment You can have the gym be as very hands-on​ in your gym life or you can be more of a solo person and only interact with members​s to get your locker key, it's totally up to you! The gym is located by tons of sidewalks and parks so if you want to do a runoutsie in the summer and leave from the gym, it's a great spot. I am a runner and there are some nice 8 mile pluse loops you can do around the gym. The options are really endless around this location. The overall​ environment​ is great to work out in and all the memebers seem nice, focused and courteous​ of everyone​​e. I'm in my late 20's and I like tha fact that there aren't too​ many people under 20 that work out here! If they do they all act resonsibily and aren't obnoxious...Yup, I just wrote that, I think I'm offically turning into my parents. I'm very happy I walked in here on a whim and I don't see myself going to any other gym ever, unless I move out of state!​ Go ahead and take a free trou of the place, they won't be over pushy and make you feel like you have to sign up.

This is probably one of my two favorite locations. Friendly staff that called you by name when you arrive and when you leave with a friendly greeting. Clean and aesthetically pleasing with lots of options for all fitness levels, including group exercise classes, personal training and cardio equipment. And after all is said and done, a relaxing bar to have a nightcap and socialize. Several events throughout the year some complementary and others with a small fee. Safe place to drop off your children while you work out in the childcare center. Love the outdoor pool and summer feels like you're at a resort. read more

It's a nice club. But sorry I have issues with this club because they have put way to many people in some classes, where it getting too crowded for the pool. Another thing is I feel like the people who work here favor people over others. Just in general there's too much stick up people here. read more

If the technology allowed me to rate 0 stars, I would. WAC cancelled my nephews membership for working me out and serving as my accountability partner. I was using the WAC location out of convenience to separate work (from home) and exercise vs. using my home gym. When asked, WAC stated there is no policy to call this out but they can kick him out of all locations without cause. Simply put, there are more friendly options nearby. Try Lifetime, YMCA, etc. or keep it at home ;( read more

I've been working out here regularly for the past few months and I enjoy it very much. Well worth the money. I joined to use the pool and other equipment. I start off in the women's workout room then hit the pool. I'll do the hot tub afterwards then shower. It's so relaxing, especially after work. Pools are nice, and locker rooms/showers are always clean. It's a busy place but plenty of room. Everyone is very friendly, both members and staff. Thanks for helping me get healthier and have fun!!! :) read more

I have been a member of WAC since 2001. They have many locations throughout the MKE area. The NS & downtown are my go to clubs to workout. Unfortunately neither have an outdoor pool The Brookfield club just opened last year so it's pratically brand new The outdoor pool is open. Pool is small but I do not mind it. They have plenty of lounge chairs There is a splas/pool for the little ones. This is a great place jut to relax & read a good book. As for the rest of the place it's huge. There are two levels to workout. They also have a separate room for women to workout. read more

Love the gym, the equipment and swimming pool are clean, I could say it's the best gym around Milwaukee area.

Great customer service, obvious continuous investment into making a great experience for their members. Easily the best gym I've ever had a membership to and don't plan on leaving any time soon! read more

Awesome amentity and pool area! So clean and love that the pool has a snack bar and is great for adults and kids read more

Wisconsin Athletic Club - Gyms Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

In my opinion, the Brookfield location is the best WAC gym. There are 3 separate areas that have free weights and cable machines. There are plenty of cardio machines on the first and second floor. There is a woman only area, there are studios that you can have to yourself, there are 2 pools and a basketball court. Steam room, sauna, classes, massage services. The locker rooms are great. This gym has it all. And it never feels overly crowded because of the overall size and high ceilings. Plenty of parking and the staff always have smiles. It's nice, the overall feeling of the Brookfield location helps make me want to go to the gym. I also think it's easy on the wallet. Join as a couple = discount. Have health insurance = discount. For me it's $50 a month. Easily worth it. read more

Sets the standards for all gyms/social clubs. Yes, it is pricey but for the quality of the services available, the equipment, and the quality trainers/employees... it's worth every cent. They have complimentary classes for members that range from cardio, to dancing, to swim. They matched me with a fitness trainer who is an absolutely perfect match for helping me reach my goals (shout out to Ashley H!). I never have felt judged by employees or otherwise. Again, this place is worth every penny.... and I'm a teacher so I don't have many of those. read more

I joined this gym after checking out other options in the area. Not only do I really like this gym because of the location (5 minutes from my house!!), the facility is clean, they have plenty of space, and the staff are always very friendly. They have a wide range of services, including complimentary classes led by trained individuals, indoor and outdoor pools, massage rooms, and a bar that encourages gym members to get to know each other. You can watch football/baseball games at the bar, and every Tuesday they serve tacos! A great place to workout and I am glad I joined this gym! read more

Outstanding athletic club. Fantastic services, people and complimentary classes. The exercise pool is ideal for water exercising and fun classes. Couldn't be happier with our choice to be here. read more

As far as Athletic Clubs go the WAC is the best facility that I have had the pleasure of being a member of. My wife and I only lived in Wisconsin for a few months this summer and needed a place to stay fit. The Brookfield location was everything we needed at a very affordable monthly due. The equipment is top of the line, the entire gym is clean and the staff are extremely friendly. They have multiple areas for different work out needs including a ladies only area, which my wife loved using, and a full indoor and outdoor pool. I have recommended this gym to everyone I run into and cannot give this place a better review. read more

The WAC is my sanctuary!! I came from a gym that made me so uncomfortable that I would avoid going at all costs. I work about 12 hours a day and start too early to go in the morning before work so I go around 5-6 pm. At any other gym this time frame is too crowded to get on any equipment and not feel like you're on top of everyone. Not here! The WAC is so big and there are so many different areas to work out in that it never feels truly crowded. I am constantly excited for my next workout and it's all thanks to my gym! And the outdoor pool is a huge bonus :) read more

My husband and I love this gym and the location. However, we are experiencing a large problem. Our children are 10 and 12. This means they are too old for the day care area, and too young to be in the gym even with us. They are only allowed to use the gym or pool at open swim or open gym time. This is only on the weekends. I can't take them to go swimming with me during the week, or we can't play basketball as a family during the week. They have to be 13 years old to be on equipment with us present. 16 years old to be in a different area then my husband and I. We love the equipment, classes, and staff. However, our family staying active is important. read more

Great place for workout . Lots of space and equipment. I wish they had a running track too.

I would only go here if I could bring my kids, and the family locker room is a deal breaker for me. It's WAY too small, the floor is filthy, and it's way over utilized by single people NOT there with family. I was there with my daughter, and couldn't use one of the rest rooms because all 3 were being hogged by single, old men. How is this fair? The Menomonee Falls one has the same review. Maybe they don't want families to come here - if that's the case, mission accomplished. If not, then only let families in the family locker room. I canceled my membership and will be done at the end of July. read more
