Elite Sports Club-River Glen

About

A fitness center with tennis courts and indoor and outdoor salt water swimming pools, along with classes for all ages.

The club features two distinct pools with controlled temperatures. The main lap pool, ideal for general swimming and water exercise, is typically maintained at a comfortable 80-82°F. For relaxation and therapeutic purposes, there is also a warmer therapy pool, which is usually kept between 90-92°F.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the club are mixed, highlighting both strong positives and significant areas for improvement. Many members praise the club's spaciousness, cleanliness (though contradicted by some), variety of facilities like pools, jungle gym, and activity areas, as well as excellent classes and family-friendly events. Specific staff members are frequently lauded for their helpfulness and friendliness. However, several members express concerns, particularly regarding a perceived decline in quality and maintenance, especially at the River Glen location. Issues include poorly maintained equipment, machines being out of order for extended periods, cleanliness problems in locker rooms and weight areas (e.g., scattered items, lack of wiping down machines), and unsupervised children in workout spaces posing safety risks. Some also note an outdoor hot tub being under construction for years, uncomfortable behavior by other patrons, and question the club's value given rising prices amidst these quality concerns, particularly in the context of a recent shooting incident.

Had a birthday here and this is a very clean well maintained club. Very spacious club. The swimming pool was clean and the locker rooms. The people that organized the party did a great job. It has a 4 level jungle gym.

Excellent neighborhood Gym and and activity Club. Our family has a membership and my kids love going over there to work and hang out. My wife works out there all the time on the gym as well as in the pools. In the summer the outdoor pool is great to hang out in with the family. Reason for four versus five stars is the Outdoor hot tub has been under construction for a number of years it seems. They have an indoor lap pool as well as a very warm smaller pool so shouldn't complain too much. There's a number of other facilities as well as a member, one up in Mequon and one in Brookfield. The quad area has basketball hoops and a lot of play activities for the kids. Membership isn't cheap in my opinion but my family loves it so we keep it and sacrifice elsewhere.

This gym is fantastic, for the price the equipment should be better maintained, and I’d personally pay for a hack squat machine lol. Special shout out to the amazing stuff, especially Lainie and Ella in the childcare, Patrick is always a friendly trainer on the floor, and the rest of the staff is just as great. The shooting is unfortunate, but there’s nothing the club could’ve done to prevent it and they’ve responded amazingly. Love you guys!

I have been a member of Elite going on 7 years now and I can confidently say the quality of the River Glen location has significantly decreased over the last 3 years. Children run loose in the weight room, putting themselves and the people actually working out in danger. The locker rooms as well as the weight room has increasingly carried a smell of marijuana. Towels, cups and weights are scattered all over the place. It’s hard to tell what machine is available because of how often they are littered with people’s personal belongings. Also, finding the equipment I need to complete a workout has turned into a wild goose chase or plain disappointment because machines are constantly “out of order” for at least a week at a time. People are not wiping down machines after use, spreading disease and dirt. Something to mention that I understand is out of the employees control is how often I notice the older gentleman watching younger girls working out, makes me uneasy and uncomfortable. Considering the opening of newer gyms in Mequon, Elite is crazy for raising their prices but not raising their quality standard. Also after this recent shooting, the ball is in Elites court to up their game or else they will lose a lot of business

Love this space. It’s got everything for any and all exercise equipment, amazing classes with really good instructors. And lots of events for singles and for families!
