Wisconsin Athletic Club

I have no idea if I am allowed to review the WAC since now I am an employee. Lets just say, October 2014 was a tricky time for my family. My marriage was a mess and we did not know how to refocus ourselves. Then, we joined the WAC. We would go to this one and Northshore a lot. Then, we moved and went to Greenfield. Anyways, the services they provided helped my husband control his mental problems. They helped me in accomplishing my first half marathon. Our marriage problems started to end. I went to an aqua Zumba class, and was inspired. Exactly a year later, I became a Zumba Instructor for the West Allis location.
As for children, they do provide 2 hours a day daycare for an extremely low price every month. We paid $ 15 extra to our membership for our daughter. There she came out of her shell and became a leader. They also give your child snacks and water. Some locations offer Kids Zumba, swim classes, craft times, and other events. My daughter loved the Princess Day and Trick-​or-​Treating around the facility at Greenfield. At Northshore, they have movies by the pool. They show children’s movies like Frozen and the Lego Movie while the kids swam, had snacks, and juice.
To me, this club is as good as it can get.

The Menomonee Falls WAC is a lovely, gorgeous building offering a variety of group classes, decent personal trainers, great locker rooms, and a fair amount of exercise equipment. This location is more cardio focused, with lots of treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, etc. There is an okay machine section and a small free-​weight section. Only two squat racks, one in the main free weight area and one in the personal trainer free weight area. The yoga studio is quite tranquil unless there is a class being held at the same time in the downstairs gym.

Love Love .love the WAC… why?
i love the variety of classes that you can choose from. the hardest part for me was to get to the gym… now i am really motivated to go.
Other plus is this is way cleaner than the Y (which is dirty). Friendly staff… great instructors and three pools.
we were here a lot during the summer to use the outside pool. kids love it. other than the outdoor pool and the tae Kwan do classes there is nothing for kids. i wish they had classes for kids… i am sure they could make a lot of $$ from the kids classes vs adult free classes that are offered.
Love it and Why is it still not a 5
— there are only three changing rooms for family !!! no swim suite dryer. Family bathrooms are filthy and since this is a co-​ed you need to take all your stuff in to the bathroom and no place to keep all your belongings once you are inside… urgghhh…
since there is only three bathrooms you can either hog the bathroom to take a or go back to the ladies room to take a shower, or go home and shower… it was soo inconvenient and rushed I stopped going for swimming with my son during winter months (i know bad parenting :))

Forget trying to go there during peak times. Machines are all taken, classes are packed. Also, as a person who is looking to improve their health, the classes aren’t very welcoming to new people. In fact, I was publicly embarrassed by one of the instructors during a class. Wish I had an alternative yet comparable gym nearby that I could choose from.

Good for Adults, but if you have Kids… Not So Much.
I get it, and you should too, this place is designed to accommodate the childless. Clean and new, the facility is very nice. So you ask, «Why are you a member if your kids are not welcome?» Easy, the alternatives are slim-​pickens! The WAC has an outdoor pool, and no one else does. That is it. Bottom line, kids like outdoor pools.
Why is it a poor club for children? 1) The family locker room is small (3 showers) which are used by a lot of people without families. Why, I have no idea, when the other locker rooms are so nice. 2) The family locker is dirty (it constantly has water and filth on the floors. 3) The room is more of an afterthought hallway that hoards of staff and visitors walk through to get to the outside/​pools as well as a public bathroom for anyone at the lobby bar. 4) The pool schedule is geared towards adults, with random times the kids can actually use it. Trust me the staff will tell you and your kids when the time is up and to make room for the one old person who wants to do water aerobics. Sorry old people, that was a jab you didn’t deserve 6) There is nothing else for kids…
Summary — if you are single or without child, welcome. The rest of you families out there, what else can you do, so live with it!

Great gym that offers a ton of group classes. The facility is brand new. The only bad part is kinda expensive compared to the YMCA

I just joined WAC on a temporary basis and it’s a decent gym. Lots of open spaces, plenty of classes, and two larger pools. There aren’t many weight machines here which is odd for a gym of this size. There are, however, plenty of cardio machines and free weights. This would explain the large geriatric and meathead demographics working out.
However, it definitely deserves 4 stars: the facility is clean and well maintained, the staff friendly and helpful, and the equipment is updated. They also have a bar for a quick after-​workout drink. And as far as locations, it couldn’t be better: It is located right across from the southbound onramp to Rt 45.

The fact that the Menomonee Falls WAC is brand new undoubtedly helps earn 5 stars. The fact that one month and 5 fewer pounds later is another reason the WAC earns 5 stars from me.
What I like: machine and free weights, a cornucopia of aerobic bikes, stairs and treadmills, a set of stairs to nowhere, multi use exercise room, terrific locker room with individual shower stalls, pool and hot tub and sauna.
What I don’t like: virtually no healthy options at the pub just off the lobby. Plenty of booze, beer and fried food. Would a smoothie be that hard?
I’ve belonged to my share of gyms over the years and this is by far the best!

There’s a new WAC in Menomonee Falls !
I’ve belonged to the WAC (home base is in Tosa) for some 12 years. This new facility is fantastic. Staff are very friendly and helpful and keep the club very clean and neat. Parking is abundant. And the members seem more friendly than at the Tosa location. They even have a small bar area, where you can enjoy a brewski after your hard workout.
I give it 10 Stars !
