Ample weights, machines, instructors and 24/7 access. The staff (especially Josh and Laura) both behind the desk and on the floor are awesome. Wheather its aerobics or strength training I never have to wait on equipment. There's even day care for children available while you exercise. Its THE place to go locally.

Silver Sneakers Yoga in the tent. Perfect. It's my first time back since Covid 19. They observe all required protocols. Even have a new HVAC system to clean the inside air. It's a good place to be.

This is the gym to go to. I don't write reviews often, but felt compelled to after my awesome experience here. I have not encountered another business in the local area that goes above and beyond to satisfy their customers. Every single employee I have worked with so far has been nothing but knowledgeable, considerate and professional. I received every detail I could need on membership and service options, and when I emailed with additional questions, they were answered immediately. The prices are also some of the best in the Milwaukee area (I left WAC to join Form & Fitness based on the services

Great gym. No seriously, Form & Fitness along with the YMCA are the best gyms in a 20 miles radius in my opinion. If they had a hot tub I would literally cancel my Y membership and only go here. They take amazing pride in the look and cleanliness of this location. I am super proud and happy to be a member.

Hands down the best gym in the area. Equipment is mostly new and updated, if anything breaks its fixed quickly, they are always adding or trying new things out which is nice to see and overall staff is great to work with. Great value for the price too. For under $40 a month to have access to a facility such as this is a great deal. I highly recommend Form & Fitness to anyone looking to join.
