Elite Sports Club-River Glen: Reviews
Positive experience: I really like this club but on the climbing structure in the quad and there are these 1.5 in pieces of wood above the stairs, and my friend hit her head on one if them while running up the stairs. She ended up bleeding a little bit. For it to be safer for other kids the pieces of wood should really be taken down.
Fantastic experience: Quality indoor tennis courts
Fantastic experience: great client services. Never too crowded either.
Negative experience: I signed up for childcare and then needed to change it due to personal circumstances. I gave them *plenty* of notice and they forced me to pay them. I will NEVER give another red cent to them.
Fantastic experience: I'm not a member yet. However, their family events are always nice.
Fantastic experience: I love the hot tub and the pool
Fantastic experience: My boy always has a great time here <3 super kids friendly here
Negative experience: I love the club! HOWEVER….The women’s locker room smells like MMSD (Milwaukee metropolitan Sewage District). Contributing factor to me canceling my membership and joining the WAC.
Negative experience: Canceled a month ago and they won't stop charging me. Place is a scam
Fantastic experience: Swimming in the outdoor lap pool and enjoying the hot tub afterwards is just terrific!
Fantastic experience: Great staff!!!
Fantastic experience: It is very nice one of the best gyms
Fantastic experience: This review is primarily for the children's swimming lessons offered at Elite. My son has thoroughly enjoyed learning to swim with his instructor, Lexi, and looks forward to getting into the pool each week. Getting introduced to the swimming pool can be scary for some young kids, but Lexi has made it fun and inviting for him. We look forward to seeing him become more independent in the pool over time.
Positive experience: Nice tennis place but the lighting and ceiling are distracting and you can lose balls on lob shots.
Negative experience: Beth at Elite Sports Clubs is the epitome of unprofessionalism. Her lack of dedication and poor attitude make every interaction a nightmare. It's disappointing to see such incompetence in a place that should be focused on excellence.
Positive experience: Neglect. Many small repairs are needed.
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and kid friendly.
Fantastic experience: A very good sport club. Has mini soccer field, basketball and tennis court, great pool.
Fantastic experience: Amazing and free would definitely recommend and come back
Fantastic experience: My family loves our gym!!
Fantastic experience: I love every class that Amy teaches. She makes her classes fun. She uses different exercises so the class is always challenged and can make progress toward better fitness.
Negative experience: Entrance for summer camp for kids has trash for the 2nd day in a row, we’ve brought it up to elite, and to put trash cans out if there are none. The trash seems to keep accumulating and not getting cleaned up. This is our first time at elite for a summer camp, it’s not clean.
Positive experience: Overpriced but decent place
Positive experience: If you can afford a membership, this is a lovely health club. I like the salt water pools, class instructors, and towel service. I also appreciate that they have multiple rooms, people of all ages, and very clean facilities!
Negative experience: Staff are rude. Billing department makes errors and does not respond to email or calls. I was billed twice in one month and asked to speak with a manager concerning it. I was told the manager doesn't speak to members.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience!
Positive experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: Great indoor pools and open space for kids to play.
Fantastic experience: Great place and staff are very nice the pool quad and gym are amazing but they should bring back baladium and bowling I miss both of them but a very good place
Fantastic experience: Great place but need to bring back 'baladium' and bowling
Negative experience: I bought a membership here primarily to play basketball during the winter. The court has two main hoops on a close to regulation size court, and 4 additional hoops on the sides of this main court. Only 2 of those side hoops is at the normal 10ft tall, there are 2 of them around 8-8.5ft tall. They use this same space for volleyball, and they have open volleyball on Mondays. The net makes one of the main hoops inaccessible, but that's not the biggest deal because it's only on Monday... or so I was told. The past few weeks, they have kept the volleyball net up THE ENTIRE week, Monday-Sunday. So every single day there was only 3 regulation sized hoops to shoot on which mean these 3 hoops were always crowded. I go every week day at 430pm and have never seen the volleyball net being used. Yesterday, I asked a staff member when the new would come down, he said he would ask his boss to take it down for me. When he got back, he told me his boss said somebody wanted to use the net THE NEXT DAY so it had to stay up... ? It takes 20 minutes max to take that down and put it back up. It was 830am on a Saturday, and management wouldn't let them take the net down because somebody wanted to use it on Sunday. The young man who I asked was very friendly and apologized, the front desk worker is always very sweet and kind, but it is clear management is lazy and uncaring.
Fantastic experience: I was able to meet James who gave a great tour and familiarity with the location. He was able to answer any and all questions I had regarding the facility and the other locations for Elite Sports Clubs. He was so helpful with the experience and made me feel welcome to the facility.
Positive experience: It's a great place to work out indoors with ur children. Lots of equipments to choose from and a place for children to play
Positive experience: Gym nice just won't too much money
Positive experience: Whoo hoo!!!!
Positive experience: Nice place.
Fantastic experience: This is the best family oriented health club in the area. The salt water pools are so lovely and warm. The quad, the smoothies, and the bar are all bonuses. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Attended a birthday party, and it was an awesome space.
Fantastic experience: sports relaxation....
Positive experience: Great place to let my daughter run off energy. The Quad is a large area with a climbing gym and small arcade. We tend to use the pools the most. The warm pool is great for relaxation.
Fantastic experience: I love this sports club. The best in Milwaukee
Fantastic experience: The quad is a huge and fun play area for kids, which is the biggest selling point for this gym. Friendly and helpful staff too.
Positive experience: Very friendly ladies at the front desk. I love my trainer Joe/Joey he is a real down to earth guy and really motivational. The people that attend the gym are friendly as well. I just haven't received my key card to scan in yet.
Fantastic experience: I workout there two times a week the equipment and staff are great they have indoor and outdoor pools clean environment not too crowded a overall great place
Positive experience: Good instructors. Facility could be cleaner. Amenities for members have decreased.
Fantastic experience: The place great, and the staff is very knowledgeable, and patients with their clients. Fun place for sports for all ages.
Negative experience: Overpriced, very small, not clean, as most people believe.
Negative experience: I do enjoy the classes and it's a clean HUGE facility! I do not like having to COMPETE for a spot in a class that only holds 7. It used to hold 20. I get that Covid changed a lot of things.... But as I've seen in other reviews... The space is too big to not accommodate the loyal members that pay out of their *you know what*. I can get a treadmill and stairstepper anywhere else for $10/month. It's just conveniently located. I also don't understand why I can't add my elderly mother who now has t live w me and my sick sister and instead have to pay another membership fee for them. So we fight for classes and get to pay over $400/mo for no perks. They should do a promo to remind the members they're appreciated.
Hi Isabel, Thanks for your feedback and one of our team members will be reaching out to you directly about membership options for adding your family members. Also, our class sizes currently follow the North Shore Health Department guidelines. As soon as these are lifted we will be more than happy to open up our class sizes.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever
Positive experience: Nice facilities. Was there for a birthday party. They were very strict on masks, so that is so concerning when you are engaged in aerobic activities. Especially for small kids.
Positive experience: Great staff and service. Equipment is getting old and outdated. Some things need to be replaced.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 3 years. I have found it to be an excellent addition to my life. I love the yoga classes. I love the whirlpool and all the facilities. It is always clean and friendly. I recommend it very highly.
Thanks so much for your kind words Barb, and we love having YOU at the club too!
Positive experience: Very nice place, can be crowded, kids love the quad. Some of the lockers in the women's locker rooms need actual physical locks, like bring your own which is inconvenient. Warm pool is another very nice family activity
Thanks for the feedback about the lockers Megan. We're glad you and your family are enjoying the club, we're always trying to add more amenities to service everyone's needs, have fun, and have plenty of space to spread out.
Fantastic experience: Such a great place to take the kids to go swimming play basketball has indoor area to throw the football around or baseball... childcare is great. Fun classes for adults..overall an amazing Gym
Thanks so much Jessica for taking the time to review us! We're so glad that you're happy with the club and that your kids are enjoying it too!
Fantastic experience: Good gym, family oriented. Everything is kept clean and the staff is friendly. They've done well improving the gym throughout the months. With COVID, they've done very well.
Negative experience: I would never sign up here again if I knew how awful of an experience elite clubs would be. We joined in the summer for the pools and at that time if you were working out you didn’t have to wear a mask. Now you have to wear a mask even though every station is 10 feet + away from each other. It makes no sense. Furthermore I paid $200 more for personal tennis lessons and I’ve been here for over 6months and NO ONE has reached out to me. I hate coming here. My children like the quad and playing basketball but I can’t wait until my membership is up so we can go back to the WAC.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility! Clean. Community oriented.
Positive experience: We were looking it over to see if my grandson wanted to join he liked it but he's also a member elsewhere and elite sports is a little bit expensive
Positive experience: Have had some really bad encounters with the customer service. However it’s been a little better lately...
Positive experience: What a beautiful sports club! I have brought my son as a guest twice now. The outdoor and indoor pools are awesome. The locker rooms are very clean and convenient. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is rather expensive but it's worth it!
Fantastic experience: Clean, good classes and good instructors, great pool and other amenities
Thanks so much for taking the time to review us! We appreciate it and are so happy that you're happy with the club!
Fantastic experience: Very nice gym.
Thanks for the review Michael! We're glad you're happy with the club!
Positive experience: Nice club for tennis, group classes and indoor/outdoor pools. Weight area is extremely below average, to the point we have a family membership with Elite but I kept my WAC membership because the weight equipment is so bad.
Hi Jeff, We're glad that you are enjoying the majority of the club with your family and are surprised to hear your dissatisfaction with our weight area as much of our equipment is relatively new. Our Fitness Director will be reaching out to you directly to find out specifically what weight equipment you're looking for and how we can improve it. Thank you for your feedback.
Positive experience: The ladies at the front desk were so overwhelmed I felt bad for them! There should also be better seating near the kids areas for the parents.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for the recommendations Cristina. We appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure coming to Elite. I'll give Elite six stars after the outdoor spa is repaired.
Positive experience: Visit every time I'm in town
Thanks for the review David! If there's anything we can do to make your visits even more enjoyable, feel free to let us know!
Negative experience: Very disappointed with recent “corporate” decisions regarding their Zumba classes. There appears to be a complete lack of creative problem solving to accommodate 50-60 dedicated members. Hoping they come to their senses.
Hello Wendy, Thank you for your feedback and dedication to our Zumba program. We are working diligently to accommodate our strong Zumba community at the club by offering more classes at our North Shore location just a few miles down the road, which all River Glen members have access to. It is our desire to try to balance both the members' and instructors' wishes to find the best solution. We will continue to troubleshoot the situation and are committed to doing what we can to find options that work for everyone involved.
Positive experience: Space is nice with lots of activities, but I've been here a couple times now and the front desk women has always been rude to us. She is not friendly and does not smile. It is very unwelcoming.
Hello Cassie, Thanks for taking the time to review us and for your honest feedback. Stellar customer service is of the utmost importance to us as we understand it could really make or break someone's visit (no matter how nice our facilities may be). We'll make sure to pass on your comments to our General Manager so he can better coach our front desk staff on this.
Fantastic experience: Love it here. The Quad is a life saver during wintertime with stir-crazy kids.
Thanks so much for the review, Angie! We're so glad that you and your family are enjoying the Quad!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at this facility for many years. This club just keeps getting better and better every year.
Hi Michael, Thanks so much for taking the time to review us. We're lucky to have you and your family as such great members too!
Positive experience: Clean
Hi Stephen, Thanks for visiting us. We're glad you found our facilities clean, that is always one thing we strive to guarantee at our health clubs. We appreciate your feedback and welcome any other comments or questions you may have.
Positive experience: Awesome gym....i love it but it is expensive. Desk staff could use some customer service training. Also the staff could be more diverse.
Fantastic experience: Best place in town to play tennis!!

Positive experience: Great family tennis. Kids quad play area. 3 pools. One outdoor.
Positive experience: Nice fitness and tennis club that I have been a member of for over 15 years. Being a tennis player, I liked it better when there were 11 courts. Now there are only 6 courts after they converted 5 courts for other activities.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Great pools and equipment. The quad for the kids is great as well
Negative experience: Whirlpool in ladies locker room still not working. It hasn't worked since before May 20 th I am UNHAPPY
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great equipment and the quad is perfect for my kids!
Fantastic experience: Great place, really clean
Fantastic experience: Very good health club.
Positive experience: Great updates
Fantastic experience: Very good club
Positive experience: This is my go-to Elite gym since it has the largest weight training area. I like it and continue to go, but...it's OLD. It is SO old. I don't think they've updated it since the '80s. Charging $90 a month is kind of a joke for what you get, it feels like an old men's club of yesteryear. Again, that Also being said, I like the place. It serves it's purpose. That's why I gave it 4 stars. *There is a rumor that they will be remodeling in late 2015 or early 2016. I was there at lunch today (April 15th, 2015) and people were taking measurements of all of the space. So it looks promising. If this place gets renovated it would be a 5/5.
