Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Therese the club manager is phenomenal! Every time I come in, she makes me feel welcome and takes so much pride in maintaining a clean environment! Her welcoming spirit makes me feel the most comfortable I have felt in YEARS going to the gym🥰 I suggest this location to everyone I can!

The club is very clean. Staff friendly at Check in. However there are multiple people sitting on equipment using cell phones. I have gone through 3 machines 3sets of 15 reps and they are still sitting on phones. Multiple people sitting in locker room on phones. Signage is posted all over the club but no one enforces the rules. There should be a scan device to unlock the inner doors for entry that would free up staff to walk around to offer help with the equipment ,clean or gently remind people to keep it moving. The shower in stall number two was cold again today.

I switched locations from the southgate gym to here because the manager was extremely rude and I always received great energy and smiles when I walked in to the gym and Therese was at the front desk. If there’s ever an issue she’s always quick to handle it and doesn’t give me attitude when there is a problem. It’s because of her and her staff that I keep my membership.

I wish I asked the person's name but I didn't. Anyway.... forgot my phone after using the tanning bed. Called the location from my Wife's phone at home upon realizing it. It was waiting at the front desk. Thankful for good people!

The club is very clean and staff is friendly at check in. Great location for me. Now this is coming from a 60 year old man who is very familiar with gym etiquette. This is not necessarily all PF but the clientele. However PF needs to have staff address the issues with clientele. What I have witnessed multiple times: Men in lockeroom on their phones, people talking on phones while on equipment, people spending excessive time on a machine this past Tuesday I asked a gentleman, who i had witnessed sitting on the same machine(lat pull) while the person I was working out completed 3 set apiece on 3 different pieces of equipment. I asked how many sets he had left and he became very confrontational obviously zero gym etiquette , people texting also when working out on equipment. A good weight training program might take 45-60 minutes but at PF in Bayview this can add at least an additional 30 minutes on to workout. I hope PF staff would monitor and correct these issues. On a last note Tuesday night of this week, went in to shower and the stall next to me had bags full of dirty clothing hanging on both shower hooks. I feel bad if the person was homeless and doing his laundry but come on.

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.

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.
