Health Clubs

Milwaukee residents like to stay in shape year-round. 

In addition to the many tennis courts, jogging paths and bicycle trails located within the public park systems, there are numerous indoor facilities as well. Southeastern Wisconsin health clubs vary from exercise-only facilities to full-service family destinations with classes, day care, weight-loss programs, indoor basketball and tennis courts and pools to services offered by personal trainers, nutritionists, and massage therapists. Most area health clubs offer a variety of membership packages tailored to individual budgets and exercise needs.
