Best Gym near Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I came back to edit my review as I love going to spire & have done two monthly unlimited classes with them now. The instructors are so motivating and make working out so fun. Highly recommend! Spire has been awesome! I’m new to this studio and have really enjoyed the class themes, lighting, atmosphere, and music. Seems like such a great community and uplifting place to work out!!!

I have been going to Spire pretty regularly this year and have loved every class I have taken. I typically partake in just their cycle classes but last night I signed up for Crew: Core + Strength with Sara. THIS WAS AN AMAZING CLASS. The enthusiasm and motivation in the room even made the core work enjoyable. Will definitely be taking this class again

Spire is great! It’s the only spin class in the city that keeps me motivated the whole time. High energy instructors & great music also!

I love all the classes at Spire fitness! Every class is different and a good challenge. The instructors host fun themes to keep classes exciting. It’s such a fun and inviting community, I’d recommend to anyone.

Shout out to Sam for keeping it culturally relevant and incorporating Spanish music to celebrate all heritages in the class. Her vibe is 🔥, and she’s quickly becoming one of my favorite instructors for her energy and inclusion. She even remembered my name, which was 🤯🤯. I appreciate you!

I found Brew after my old boot camp closed; I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to find a similar community like I’d had before, but wanted to give it a shot. Immediately after getting into the 10-day trial, my partner and I were warmly greeted, given a tour of the space, and were offered small check-ins and motivational messages by the owner, Ryan, and by the other trainers. We got to experience all of the classes offered, and it was a no-brainer to fully join. The workouts are challenging, the trainers are hands-on to ensure you know what you’re doing, and you leave each workout feeling accomplished. Oh, and the after-workout beer on tap and dog-friendly environment? Bonus! Membership celebrations, seasonal challenges, and an array of other perks show how serious each trainer is about the success of this place, and the success of their clients. TLDR; Don’t let this place slip past you: sweat it out in a class, have a beer, pet a dog, and join the best gym in Milwaukee!

Brew Fitness has a variety of great strength training classes and phenomenal trainers that take the time to help if you have questions. Brew Fitness has an amazing community. They host many events and raffles that make members feel supported, even outside of excercise classes. Signing up for Brew Fitness is the best decision I have made during my time in Milwaukee!

This is one hell of a gym and all of the personal trainers are great. The group workouts are always challenging yet fun and no matter what your fitness level is they make it work for everyone. I recommend this gym to anyone that I can.

Brew Fitness is an incredible gym/workout experience. The classes/offerings simplified working out for me in many ways. First, the classes provide good structure so it removed pressure of creating my own workouts. Next, the instructors provide a perfect balance challenging members but not going too far. Also, the instructors do a great job keeping an eye on exercise form to prevent injuries/issues. Finally, the environment is incredibly supportive and social which makes it far less imposing than your standard gym. I have been a member since 2018 and won't be leaving anytime soon. If you want to improve your strength/fitness levels, Brew Fitness is the place for you.

Awesome Personal Training. As Owner Ryan puts it, “If it’s easy, you’re not pushing yourself.” Well thanks for pushing me Brew Fitness! Clean facilities, innovative workouts and a staff that’s mindful and respectful of your schedule and time.

I’ve been attending Vive La Fitness for two years now, Monday through Friday, and I’m finally seeing the results of all the dedication, hard work, and motivation I’ve put in. It’s true what they say: consistency pays off. I want to give a huge thanks to the trainers here—they provide incredible support and really push you to lift more and believe in your potential, especially when you doubt yourself. Seeing my progress has been so rewarding, and I’m committed to continuing toward my fitness goals. I highly recommend Vive La Fitness to anyone looking for a new gym. It’s always clean, filled with friendly people, and you’re guaranteed to get a great workout every time.

I am very happy I came across viva la fitness! I was a bit hesitant at first but I’m sooo glad I made the decision to join this amazing positive community! Sonia has been an awesome coach and has always encouraged us to push for the better version of ourselves! I’ve seen so much change in the last couple of months. I have become a lot stronger mentally and physically! I recommend this gym 10/10 !!! 🙏🏼

Sonia, Victor and Jorge are THE best trainers in Milwaukee. 10/10 recommend. Every session is intense and nonstop. If you’re looking to get FIT and to be motivated by a group style fitness class, Vive La Fitness is the place to be. Bonus: After a few sessions, you get very familiar with the other people in your classes. The family/friendly environment is great!

With a recommendation from a friend, I joined Vive La Fitness nearly 2 months ago on the "bubby system" to hold each other accountable. I have been attending classes 5 days a week since and I have learned something new everyday. In addition to a wonderful total body workout, I am also learning a little Spanish (which I love) 🥰. The gym is very clean. The people are friendly and trainers are very knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition. Most of all, I enjoy the small intimate classes and the 1 on 1 personal assistance that the trainers provide. I would recommend Vive La Fitness to anyone looking to improve their overall health.

I just recently joined this gym about 5 months ago and it was the best decision I have made. I 100 percent reccomend this gym! The trainers are always very helpful and always keeping us motivated. Joining this gym has been the best decision I've made to help me physically and emotionally. If you are looking for a gym where you feel comfortable and where there are trainers who are passionate for what they do, this gym is the place for you!

Great Location, but it the trainers and the clients that make this fitness area the best in the Walkers Point area! 24/7 access, tanning bed, combative area for martial arts training! A verity of strength and condition training and new equipment is added throughout the year!

I absolutely love this gym!! I work very odd hours due to my job so I love that is 24/7. It is also very well kept and everyone is so friendly

Unlock your fitness potential at this incredible gym! Nate and his team of inspiring trainers will guide you towards your goals in a fun and safe environment, filled with top-notch equipment. Get ready to soar!

This is the first gym that I have felt comfortable at & have consistently gone to for almost three years now. I am the strongest I have ever been & enjoy the little challenges that each class brings. Everyone who works at the gym is super supportive & approachable. I’m an grateful to have found such great gym community!

CoMotion Fitness is hands down the best gym experience I’ve ever had. I do the monthly all-access subscription and love that I can go workout entirely on my own schedule in a safe, upbeat environment. 13/10, I recommend to all my friends and family.

Old school iron paradise. Broad variety of equipment and unique machines. Dumbbells up to 120 and squat racks, benches, and deadlift platforms. A day pass is very affordable at only $5. Definitely drop by if you are in the area

Old school gym with some fun equipment you can’t really find anywhere else.

Saying that brickyard gym is the perfect gym would be an understatement. The vibes are immaculate!!!

Love this fun place. Would be my home gym if we lived in the area, (we often drive 45 minutes to lift there for the vibe). Iconic historic old school gym like where Arnold could train. No other palce like it. Paradise for old school lifters and bodybuilders, but welcoming to everyone (they have treadmills, bikes, stairs, etc for full fitness opportunities). Dont let the $5 day pass fool you, the gym is packed with good equipment. Owner and staff are extremely friendly.

Milwaukee's most unique gym. Think average Joes gym from Dodgeball. Ken is the coolest owner and will make you feel at home. Above bench mirror.

GREAT gym in Bayview. Its always clean and organized. The owner is very helpful and always willing to help.

I absolutely adore this gym. The staff and members are sweet and welcoming. They have everything you could possibly need, and are always listening to members ideas on new equipment. I was there today, and they just got in new treadmills, bikes, and a stairmaster in, which I have been wishing for! During the schoolyear, I cancelled my membership with no issues. I came back home and signed up again.

It’s a good gym that provides a great value and has plenty of machines and weights. The major detractor is the fact that you have to cancel in person. I understand all members agree to that upon signing up but it’s clearly just meant to make it more difficult for members to cancel so you can continue charging them.

Would give ZERO stars if I could, solely based off customer service. I had come here for years with my brother and after moving out of the state he told me that I could come in for free with my brother whenever I was in town for a day, as I would visit for a weekend. My brother and I both remember this vividly, and my parents remember us telling them about it as it was an extremely nice gesture. A couple weeks ago we went in as I was in town for 2 days and he said we had to buy a day-pass now. Ok, that's fine, times are tough. And then he goes back into the cameras and charges me for the night before as well. So i told him I thought I could come in for free, as that's what he said to me a while ago. He basically laughed at me as he denied that he ever said so. Even if my entire family misremembered this event, I had been coming here for years. Why not just do the customer service thing and let us know that going forward I have to pay, rather than be petty and charge me for the night before when I was under the impression I was free? It's one thing to change your mind, it's another to change your mind AND act like I deserve punishment for not magically knowing you decided to start charging me for something you originally said was free. Absolutely ridiculous. I will never spend another dime here due to how horrible your customer service is. And if anyone asks me for a gym in the area, I'll make sure they know that this is the worst gym I've ever been to. Just go down the street to Brickyard where they have actual equipment and the owner isn't a liar/cheat.

The staff is pretty welcoming, and the gym has excellent space and equipment.

If you’re a powerlifter and love an old school feel, you’ve got to go to Midwest. It’s got a great atmosphere and has everything a powerlifter needs. The atmosphere is great. The other people that lift there are awesome. If you get there at the right time and there are people there, it’s surely to be a great time. It’s mostly service for yourself after you pay online, but you have any questions, it’s more than likely to get answered in about 20-30 minutes. Highly recommend going here over a commercial gym if you’re a serious lifter. Not to mention that almost all the equipment is competition grade.

Legit gym with elite equipment. Owner is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend. Love the shirts also, great fit!

If you are looking for a gym with top quality equipment as well as a supportive group of people to train with I would highly recommend Midwest. Not only are you getting the best equipment around but you are getting a community that is supportive and motivational. Even if you are new to lifting, the people there will take the time to make sure you feel comfortable and welcomed at the gym. I can not say enough good things about this gym. Cooper, the owner, is also very active in making sure the members are feeling welcomed as well!

Midwest Power Gym is always a must go to!! The gym utilizes both kilogram and pound plates, as well combo racks and a plethora of dumbbells, accessory machines and a new Rogue belt squat machine! I’ve trained here for multiple years now and have had a great experience every single training session whether it be the positive environment, the people, or the equipment. If you’re looking for an elite level strength gym in the Milwaukee area then this is it.

I live in Hawaii and travel a lot for work but when I’m in Milwaukee, this is the gym I go to. It’s a smaller gym but they have great equipment especially for power lifters. The people who train there are great as well. All good and positive vibes every time I been there. I also love accessible it is because you can go into the gym by using a code and not having the staff to be there. For someone as busy as me, I just wanna get in and get out. Speaking of staff, I’ve had the opportunity of meeting the owner. He’s very professional and friendly. He’s also a competitive power lifter and knows his stuff! You can tell that he really thought about what was needed for powerlifters in the Milwaukee area. I believe people who run businesses should also be well in the know or have experience in the industry personally for themselves about the business they run and he is just that. I’m definitely coming back.

This is my gym. It close to home and has a good selection of equipment. However, there are ALWAYS things that don't work: water fountains, bottle fillers, showers that flood into the hallway, liquid chalk on the walls, they haven't filled the soap in the showers in months...but the people are kind, it's convenient, and they do clean. It's not terrible, just needs better maintenance. The current manager is nice and also helpful.

Needs a real cleaning. The front of the treadmills are unbelievably dirty. The water fountain doesn’t work, plastic bottles/cups in half the treadmills, handy wipes aren’t used by most people and some dispensers are empty. Also no paper towels in the bathrooms and hand drier is broken. Management and employees are clearly negligent because the basics aren’t being done. The equipment and facilities are decent, bathrooms clean and parking is good, but I go in the morning. Also many members don’t put any effort in to keep it clean and sanitary. It’s an ownership issue. Shit rolls downhill.

I say this place is nice to workout and focus. It’s smaller and they have nice machines. However a part of me feel unsafe because their is not a staff there at all times. Also looks like it could use some cleaners to get a places together. I only did a 7 day pass and the guy who helped me had great customer service. He was personable and did a great job connecting. Just wish he was there at night but I guess that’s what make it anytime fitness. As a women I not too sold on the safety at night but I do like the gym during the day.

I like that they have a good amount of machines to use but this place is very dirty. They have dust stuck on the treadmills. The restrooms are always dirty. They don't put liners in the trash. At least at planet fitness they clean all the time. Very surprised that a anytime would be that un clean.

This Anytime Fitness offers a basic gym experience. It has an adequate selection of weight and aerobic machines, in addition to free weights. I have rarely found it to be crowded. Earlier this year, new owners took over. There is not much change, but I miss the friendliness of the former manager and his close attention to maintaining the property.

I used to LOVE this place until management changed drastically. Sarah and Gabby were cool. The short girl with the green eyes was cool. Sam was cool. But the big one with blue eyes would boss the staff around them the little Mexican one was rude and spoke with an attitude and the one after her won't stop yelling throughout the gym at members when they work out. It's very distracting and extremely annoying during workouts. Does she know most don't speak English? This isn't the location to have a person not from this area to be like. Where are you getting these weird disrespectful managers from? This location has gone down hill since Sarah left. I want to work out and go home with no distractions. Get it together or you won't have staff OR members. And now you don't have a trainer but you advertise it which is why people sign up. Bring tray back.

I used to walk outside until recent after coming in contact with some coyotes. I join Planet Fitness the same day and I have simply fell in love with being a member. I ask myself every time I come why did not join sooner. I love the atmosphere. I love meeting new people And especially because it’s non-judgmental. Thanks planet fitness for what you offer to your clientele.

I like coming at night the customer service is so much better and friendlier. The manager is rude and has a horrible way to treat people who are paying every month. Might be a little late but it is paid and just because someone comes in to get a massage and shower doesn't mean you treat you them differently. A customer is a customer and we pay. But the manager and assistant manager are both rude!

For me, the gym is fine, many people complain that it is dirty, because for obvious reasons there are always too many people at any time, and many of us do not have the discipline to keep the places in order and clean. and some people spend more time talking and on the phone than training.🫢

This is the first gym I’ve joined and I like it. The staff is friendly and there’s plenty of equipment to use. I’ve found it doesn’t get crazy busy. I do wish they offered classes on the weekends and that I could just schedule one outside of their preset schedule.

Great place to watch a game. Perfect size for women's basketball. Watched Marquette/UConn game and it handled the sold-out crowd just fine. My only two issues.....concessions on east side are very unorganized. No signs telling you one register/line was cash only. Probably a technical issue but make it known so people don't stand in line for 15-20 minutes only to discover they need to now go stand in a different line (luckily I DID have some cash). Also, zero condiments on the east side. Everyone had to buy their hot dogs and brats, then walk around to the opposite side of the area for mustard (or ketchup if you like ruining your tubed meat). Second issue is the parking garage. Great parking facility, lousy payment system. A full arena and the only pay station was turned off. Everyone from 6(?) floors of cars had to pay with a credit card from ONE exit (one lane even). Even when the ONE self pay station works, the line is insane. Plan ahead! I left the game 5 minutes early so I could pay and get out. Regardless, very nice venue.

Love everything Marquette. Relatively new facility. Very nice

Great venue for volleyball! Can be loud at times and lights are brutal for the lower sections.

Poorly organized school trips. Completey helter skelter

It's a small venue, seats are all decent
