Form & Fitness Health Club — Attraction in Grafton

I have moved gyms a lot because of location and experience – XSport, Equinox (Chicago), Lifetime Fitness (Brookfield), and Elite (all locations). I hope the information I provide you with helps with your decision. Energy and visual is nice. If you like to get some work done at the gym there isn’t a quiet space to do so, it is more of a café setting seating area with louder music. -Pictures posted on here haven’t been updated- they changed the color of the turf from green to black. -They really focus on training and their trainers from what I have seen are professional, coherent and educated. Rates are very reasonable compared to what I personally charge and other gyms I have gone to charge (when comparing trainers – styles, professionalism, and actual training) Front desk is there from 8-1pm M-Sat. The other entrance is a 24hr entrance accessed with fob and has security cameras linked to police station. Kids Center – 30 min intervals – have to call in advance to get a spot, was told to be safe 48 hours in advance. I have kids and Elite and other fitness centers were nice that you could drop them at any time. 2 studios: 1 cycling studio (smaller than I am used to seeing, but up for debate) and 1 large group fitness studio. If you are looking for young energetic Classes – I am not 100% this place is for you. But that is up for you to decide- recommend a couple trial passes to see. Small Group Training is extra and that is done on the workout floor around the sprint track. The height of the building helps, but the turf area gets filled quickly and equipment isn’t placed in the most convenient places. It feels like you must maneuver around people training a lot of the time to get items from the corners. -Locker Rooms: Smaller lockers and locker room - fills quickly, digital locks (no need to bring your own), dry sauna (cramped entrance but can fit 3-4 comfortably, and 3 or 4 shower stalls. I didn’t see they hand out towels or told they do, but see people bring their own. They do not have: Steam rooms, indoor or outdoor pools, tennis/pickleball courts. Grafton is their main fitness location with a training studio in Mequon. -For the time being, it is valuable to me – 2 min from my house, better fitness energy and environment than Elite Mequon and River Club, if choosing between these. The price point is very reasonable for what they provide. They are a local fitness focused gym, if you need more than that don’t waste your time- go to River Club and...

I found Form and Fitness early in 2022. I was torn between going back to the Y or paying a little more for a full-on gym experience. Mike L. gave me the initial tour at F&F and I was immediately impressed. The staff is wonderful and they have all the equipment you'd expect in a top quality gym, with plenty to go around. If you need help learning the machines or are trying to take your fitness to the next level, you can schedule time with the friendly trainers.

There's no pool, so if you want things like swimming lessons or a place to do laps, the Y wins that one, but Form & Fitness has, by far, better equipment, more of it, and just the shear number of things to do here makes up for the little extra monthly cost.

Other amenities that are nice: it has 24hr access, a short-track to do wide-area exercises, showers/lockers, child care, on-site physical therapist, tanning beds, LOTS of group fitness classes, a wi-fi/lounge (I'm actually working remote here as i write this review haha) and of course, my favorite, the smoothie bar!

I should note that this place is for people of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. I've seen ALL age levels getting their sweat-on! And other gym-goers out there have always been nice and courteous!

If you are deciding between Orange, Elite or the Y you should at least take the tour here to see it...

I wanted to like this gym... It looks really nice at first, but once you start going regularly you find that the cardio machines are in poor condition (TVs don't work properly, plastic pieces are peeling off, loud squeaking, etc.) and the women's shower area is absolutely disgusting! There is debris that sits in them for weeks, the curtains are stained and riddled with mildew, the tiling is rarely cleaned let-alone sanitized, and the shower heads are barely attached but have cheap rusty caddies hanging on them.

The worst part about this gym is the staff! While there are some really sweet and nice young ladies that work the front desk and some good trainers (Gretchen & Andy,) the rest of the team is just RUDE! No customer service skills whatsoever!

Very disappointed overall.

I am adding this comment to this post, because their response was that I have never worked out there, but I use a nickname. I can see they also had their employees post "positive" comments once they saw my negative review. Just goes to show how they operate......
