Day Pass Gym Tourism continues! There’s a reason this is rated 5.0, it really is a great little gym. Let’s start with the first bit: they are open early, and staffed from opening, so when you get there at 7am on Sunday there is someone to let you in and take the (very reasonable!) $15 fee. Everywhere else seems to be 10am opening, or members only at weekends, so this is much appreciated. Big thanks to Brad for not being confused by the obvious tourist as the first person through the door, and for such a warm welcome! Equipment: bits of cardio stuff, wall of Stairmasters, the usual. Lots of strength gear though. Multiple bench, squat and deadlift platforms; two power racks in the corner. And every random machine I’ve ever seen. They’ve got the first ever Nautilus Pullover machine I’ve seen in the wild (Google Dorian Yates, IYKYK) as well as a belt squat, pendulum squat, and every kind of lower body accessory machine you could want. GHD and Reverse Hyper are in a corner and a bit screened so when you set them up slightly wrong because they aren’t the same as normal and nearly get trapped, nobody can see your embarrassment. Good blend of selectors and plate-loaded, and two dumbbell areas which are marked out so that doesn’t just spread around the gym like weeds. Oh, and final high point: TVs playing He-Man cartoons, CrossFit Games, and Weighlifting House coverage of the 2023 Worlds. They know their target market and have got it nailed. If I lived in Milwaukee, I’d be...
Read moreI’ll say here what I tell every individual in person about this gym.
It is run by individuals who deeply care about fitness, the community, and its members.
It is every bit of the type of gym and the way it is kept that I want as someone who puts focus on both strengthening and conditioning.
Brad and Catt are constantly upgrading with new, better equipment.They are active in supporting the local gym and general community, and continuously building an environment that breeds a growth mindset and healthy spirit place for individuals at all levels in their own journey.
The large majority of its members follow suit in taking pride in this gym- cleaning up after themselves and keeping equipment in good order.
I joined this gym in September of 2023 and honestly haven’t looked back. Each visit only affirms that this gym is a safe haven and a place of support and progress for me. Thank you MKE Muscle
Ps- The current pictures on Google don’t do this place justice. Massive improvements in equipment have been made recently and more stuff/space is said to be...
Read moreIf you're looking for a gym that feels like a home away from home, MKE Muscle is the place for you. I've been a member for over two years now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience and overall growth from this gym. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm smile from a friendly staff member while being surrounded by a community of like minded members who are there to better themselves. Additionally, the variety and quality of the equipment is unmatched. They have every machine you could possibly need from major compound movements to isolated muscle groups. The owners are constantly adding and maintaining their equipment to ensure their members are getting the best workout experience as possible.
Few additional random things that I personally love: when the garage door is open, fruit snacks, homemade cookies, motivating/high energy Saturday mornings, great energy drink variety, clean gym floor/bathrooms and tampons available in the women's...
