Here's what we love about Wisconsin Athletic Club

Wisconsin Athletic Club gets the basics right and adds a few extras.

  • Water and heat. Most clubs have a pool, and nearly every club has a sauna.

  • It works for parents. Most clubs have childcare, so you can train while the kids are looked after.

  • Courts. Most clubs have a basketball or pickleball court.

Here are the things we wish Wisconsin Athletic Club would improve

Wisconsin Athletic Club does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.

  • No club is open 24 hours, so late-night and very early lifters are out of luck on some days.

  • Prices aren't posted for every club, so you may need to call or visit to get a quote.

  • Amenities vary from club to club, so tour the one you'd use before you sign.

How much does it cost to join Wisconsin Athletic Club?

I don't have current Wisconsin Athletic Club pricing yet. Check your club's join page for plans and fees before you sign.

  • I don't have Wisconsin Athletic Club's annual fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • I don't have Wisconsin Athletic Club's enrollment fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • Gym prices got you stressed out? Start with a free trial instead.

History

WAC opened on March 28, 1976, as an eight-court racquetball and social club in West Allis called The Racquetball Club. In 1980, its owners met other club owners in Chicago to form IHRSA, the industry trade group (Wisconsin Athletic Club). President Keith Nygren, a former English teacher, said none of the founders had run a club before. They built two more within two years as racquetball boomed (Club Solutions). WAC is locally owned and has stayed in the Milwaukee area (Wisconsin Athletic Club). It runs its own instructor training program to develop staff in-house (Health & Fitness Business), and COO and co-owner Chez Misko has described how the club works to win back members who cancel (Club Solutions).

Final thoughts — Is worth it?

Yes, if you want a pool, a sauna, and childcare. Most clubs have a pool and childcare, and nearly every club has a sauna.

​

It fits you best if you swim, need childcare, and play basketball or pickleball. If you train late at night, Wisconsin Athletic Club is a weaker pick, because no club is open 24 hours. Read your club's reviews and take a tour first.

​

My take: Wisconsin Athletic Club is worth a tour if you want a pool. Ask about pricing at your club before you sign.
