Report
June 22nd, arrived at 3:45pm at Erie st. And found out the gym is closing at 4:00m, my fault did not check in. June 23rd, arrived at 2:00pm , note on the door indicate that gym will be open from 4:pm till 8:00pm. No info via email or text to members of Erie st. This is clearly poor communication by the owners and management of the club. Do we have to call every morning to find out what are the business hours?

Their refund policy is trash. I should be able to get my money back if I have no intentions to use their gym anymore.

Razor Sharp Fitness on Washington Ave in Racine- is the best place to go to get in shape and that is because of the people who work there! They are so helpful to get you started from the lady that does the introduction to the club- the membership advisor (Rochelle), the fitness trainers (Teresina) and Silver Sneakers instructor (Ed). It is always clean and the prices are reasonable for what you get- the pool, sauna and hot tub are amazing. You are missing out on an amazing experience if you do not join!

A basic satellite location of the main gym - but really it has everything you'd need, even some included classes! Fairly clean and well maintained.

RazorSharp is a gym I've tried off and on over the past 10 years. Today, I can without a doubt say I am very impressed. The management has turned this gym around from a quantity/numbers-focused gym to a quality-focused gym. They offer a free evaluation when you first join, reach out to you to see how things are going, and recommend different routes to help accomplish your goals. I love this personal connection. In addition, they have a wide range of exercise classes included with membership, a big gym with a variety of equipment, and a pool!
