Razor Sharp Fitness: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great community. Feels like home. The front desk staff very friendly and welcoming shout out to Kevin who always makes my day better. The owners work tirelessly to make improvements for all. Thank you for all your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Rae makes my day for always greeting me and asking me how my day is. She makes the start of my workout amazing with her enthusiasm!
Negative experience: It's a strip club with weights. Get fit, and see females do unsolicited strip teases in the same spot.
Fantastic experience: Super clean facility. Friendly welcoming staff. Love their turf space and gf classes. The trainers at this gym know what they are doing. They can help you get results! Love their body analysis.
Fantastic experience: Great value. Great people. Community vibe.
Fantastic experience: Truly a great fitness center, it has everything from multiple weight rooms and cardio equipment to a full size saltwater pool and well maintained saunas. Very affordable. The staff are great and everything is help clean.
Negative experience: They never answer the phone
Good afternoon Karla. My apologies on not answering your call when it came in. Please call me directly at 262.898.1791 so I can assist you immediately. Looking forward to speaking with you Karla!
Negative experience: If it’s not staffed and your a third shift type of workout person or a early bird morning workout person such as myself, this is not the place All the perks you pay extra for are not available until the staff or owner opens those parts of the gym No place to stretch out privately They lock the sauna and locker rooms as well when it’s outside of staffed hours Like really? How can you lock the dang showers and all the stuff that is paid for extra Don’t pay for “razor room” as those are apart of the perks I was mentioning and only available when the gym is staffed The best thing about the gym is they offer to make you shakes for about 6$ a pop which saves the time and convenience from DIY Other then that I am telling you brutally honest to go to another gym and don’t get locked in as I did for a year No wonder they do a year commitment People must have saw and felt how I did and tried to cancel Go to another gym even planet fitness at this point will beat them They also have tanning but it’s “down” This places makes 45$ a head and over 200 people go here and they can’t fix tanning?? ♂️ I am counting the days down to this year being over and it couldn’t be going any slower 2nd pick is 7:15am Sunday 11/19/23 and still locker room locked during staffed hours
Negative experience: Bad service customer service. Workers weren’t helpful in the slightest. At least the YMCA will answer your questions
Negative experience: I’ve emailed through their website and left messages on the phone number provided multiple times to try and speak with someone regarding a corporate membership. No one has ever called back or responded to the messages. I attempted to stop by on my way home one day to try and speak with someone, waited for 30+ minutes, and was then told membership was busy and that I should call tomorrow. This location is really convenient for me and I was looking forward to signing up for a membership even though this fitness center is on the more expensive end, but I’m just going to sign up somewhere else. Pretty disappointing. Front desk worker was very kind however.
Positive experience: Looks like it be a great place to work out and I’d love to try it out . But, I’ve been here twice now and nobody is ever around to sign me up . Even after I was told an employee would be here until 10pm to help me . But no employees. Anywhere . Been looking since 9:30♂️
Negative experience: Razor Sharp Erie street location still running out on weekend at white towels, mostly due cutting staff hours on the weekends. As result members have no customer service for which they are billed higher monthly fee.
Fantastic experience: Any gym that has a ton of squat racks gets 5 stars from me. Friendly staff too.
You rock Daniel! Thank you for those amazing stars. :)
Fantastic experience: worth every penny
Thank you for the review Casey! Blessings to you always!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice place to work out friendly staff and not super busy
Thank you truly 'MR. RJL'
Negative experience: I couldn't get in on a Sunday. Members had key card access, I didn't.
Hi Andrew Lenart, thank you for letting us know that you had difficulties visiting our facilities during your recent visits. We will look into this issue.
Fantastic experience: Razor Sharp is the best gym I've joined. The amenities, the staff and the other gym goers are amazing. Everyone is friendly and there are people of all different ages and body types. 5 out of 5, I would highly recommend.
We are so grateful to be part of your fitness journey Katie!!
Negative experience: Decent gym. I'm disappointed that they limited day passes to once every six months. As someone that lives out of state but visits family here occasionally, I don't need a membership but am happy to pay for a day pass a couple times. The membership manager was quite rude about it, and said it was to prevent me from "abusing" the day passes. By visiting infrequently and paying full price for it? I'll just go to YMCA instead where I'm typically welcomed warmly to a larger facility. Also, they really need to de-stank the locker rooms.
My sincerest apologies that you had a bad experience during your recent visit. My hopes are that you will visit us again and have an extra special experience while doing so!! Blessings to you and yours always!!
Fantastic experience: I like all the equipment options, there are many to choose from. Good location, always friendly staff, and prices are good! Can't complain
Thank you Jack!!
Fantastic experience: I was an out of town guest traveling for work, and although there is nothing mentioned on the website about a day pass, the front desk staff was very happy to accommodate. They were really friendly and gave suggestions about the area to my friends and I. I thought the gym facility was very well maintained and I really enjoyed that studio area that I could lift in that was not as crowded. Smoothie place was hoppin, I got the mint chocolate chip one. Only thing is I wish I could have used the turf area, and the floors were super slippery in the women's locker room. I might suggest some big rubber mats in the main areas to prevent falls
Good morning J Parker, I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that your fabulous review is super appreciated. We greatly appreciate your time and look forward to seeing you again soon. Be sure to come say hi! Blessings to you always.
Positive experience: Place is absolutely a great place to exercise and build a better you. Lots of machines to use, decent amount of treadmills and bikes, a dumbbell room, a small pool to do swimming laps. Small locker room with showers with a small whirlpool including a sauna and steam room to unwind and destress yourself. They also have some classes for anyone, a huge gym to play basketball or other activities. Also an inside running track with some space in the middle to do extra workouts. This Fitness Center has all the stuff you need to get fit. It gets kind of overwhelming at certain times and it is a bit pricey, but I'm not complaining.
Thank you Cryptomaniac for taking the time to write a review! It's great to hear that you are loving the Fitness Center as much as we are! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Wishing you a blessed and happy weekend ahead!!
Positive experience: Mixed signals left a voice message no one returned my call. Not sure if I will be joining. 3 stars cause the pix look nice
Hi there D, We appreciate you taking the time to give us a review. Please let us know how we can help you to have an amazing experience. We look forward to connecting with you again soon!!
Fantastic experience: New member. Recent back surgery has me out of shape. Really like the staff. I feel at ease here. No judgement given. Lots of different activities to do. Love the pools! Has given me motivation, just what I needed!
So glad we can be a part of your fitness journey! Let us know if you need anything. Always here to help you!
Fantastic experience: An amazingly clean friendly place to get in shape. The diversity of age is warming.
Thanks so much for the great review! Let us know if we can be of any assistance to you.
Fantastic experience: If you are serious about working out, this place has it all. Clean/safe environment.
Thank you Lesly! So glad you are enjoying your membership!
Fantastic experience: Very clean place to work out. Not too crowded. It has a running track!
Hi Julia, You are amazing as well! Thank you for filling our fitness center with love and positive energy. We greatly appreciate you always!!
Positive experience: Always feel good working out!
Thanks for the review! So glad you're enjoying your experience at the club!
Negative experience: **** Attention any Police, Fire, Military, or non-woke member **** Ownership was quick to "cancel" Foxnews by switching that TV permanently, but will not switch the CNN channel that many find equally offensive in the anti-law enforcement vitriol it constantly spews. In fact, the owner and GM flat out ignored my request. Might want to consider another gym or one that respects ALL its members, not just those who complain on the left.
Positive experience: Great gym and is professional towards their clients. They have the bells and whistles for all fitness enthusiasts to enjoy. Young or old!
Hello! Thank you for leaving a review and we appreciate the positive feedback. We continuously try to ensure we are meeting our members needs! Thank you, Razor Sharp Team
Fantastic experience: Love it here. Love all the equipment they have. The staff are great too. You pay for what you get. Love the steam room and hot tub to relax after a long week.
Hi Michael, Thank you for your kind review! We work to ensure that our members have the experience they need in a gym. We hope to continue providing you with a great experience! Thank you, Razor Sharp Fitness Team
Positive experience: Seems to be clean
Hi Walter, Thank you for leaving a review! We have a designated cleaner that works on keeping all parts of the facility each day! Thank you, Razor Sharp Fitness Team
Fantastic experience: Great staff, clean equipment and a friendly community.
Thank you, Matt for the review. We work hard to provide a friendly and welcoming community!
Fantastic experience: Very clean and well-maintained gym. I’ve been coming here for years.
Fantastic experience: Top notch equipment, friendly staff that always greet you sometimes by name & acknowledge you when you're leaving. Nice clean atmosphere without the riff-raff if you prefer an adults only facility. Only drawback is limited parking & on weekends lockerooms close too early (whirlpool, sauna, etc) because of "staffing" which is my favorite part of my post workout but appreciate the 24/7 availability. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Great gym for the price, lots of amenities and 24 hour access at Main and offsite location.
Thank you so much for the kind review! We're so glad you're enjoying both locations.
Fantastic experience: This is the best health club in Racine. They have excellent facilities, well-run classes, personal training and a professional, friendly staff. I highly recommend it if you are new to the area or looking to make a change to your health.
Thank you Jason for taking the time to write a review! It's great to hear you are enjoying your membership and all that we have to offer!
Fantastic experience: Razor Sharp is by far the best gym facility in Racine, WI
Fantastic experience: The therapy pool is perfect for my bad hip hot tub really nice everything clean everyone made me feel Welcomed Thank You
Fantastic experience: Good experience the trainer that walked us through was fantastic it's huge it's big clean cleanliness people is wonderful friendly willing to teach you how to do it I give it an excellent reading we joined it and we are seniors and I'm going to be doing the exercise in the pool I think it's a little outrageous price on it but it's worth it for medical
Thank you Denise for taking the time to write a review! It's wonderful to hear you had a great trainer and are enjoying the pool. Exercise is the best medicine!
Fantastic experience: Great place n great people that work there

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym 10/10 love it. Staff is amazing and informative
Thank you for the kind review, Sam! We will make sure to pass the comment on to all the staff.
Fantastic experience: Razor Sharp has a lot of good things going for it. Big workout areas, good staff, knowledgeable trainers, and flexible hours. The ability to address what needs the members require are reasons I will continue to be a member.
Thank you J for the review. We appreciate you as a member!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Racine / Mt Pleasant area. Big, bright, clean, full of the right fitness equipment and areas to train. The hot tub, sauna, and steam room are enjoyable features to look forward to after a great workout. Razor Sharp continues to enhance its members experience by consistently putting money back into the gym, updating equipment and opening up new areas to train. If you are looking to add healthy habits to your weekly routine and get in to shape because you look forward to the workout experience at your gym, a Razor Sharp Fitness membership is a must.
Thank you Chad for the lovely review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your membership experience. Keep up the hard work!
Negative experience: I went to cancel my membership because the drive was just too much. When I called in Rochelle the lady I spoke to was very rude in a dismissive way. She told me I signed a 12 month contract (which I was never told I was agreeing to). I responded saying “I was never told I was signing up for a year”. She said “well you signed it”. I had to pay a joining fee and now they want me to pay to cancel my membership. Gyms don’t do contracts anymore. Anyway, I just here to say the customer service is terrible! I’ll gladly pay to cancel.
Hello David! We are sorry to hear your experience with canceling your membership did not go as expected. This is not acceptable service on our end, for we always want to be transparent about the new member agreement and termination policy upon sign up. We do appreciate the feedback and will utilize it to help our staff grow and improve. Thank you.
Negative experience: Bad service
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, John. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. We always strive to do better. Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff members with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right!
Fantastic experience: Great gym that makes you feel like home and your meant to be there
Thank you, Brittany! We are so happy you feel at home at Razor Sharp and are glad to have you as a member.
Negative experience: For what you pay its not worth it. 50 dollars a month and you don't even get full access to the facilities. Actually very disappointed in this gym but maybe other people had better experiences than i did.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your honest feedback. If there is anything we can do to help you make the most of your membership and all the amenities we have to offer, do not hesitate to reach out to any of our staff. We are more than happy to answer any questions about everything your membership includes and how we can help you reach your fitness goals.
Positive experience: Fantastic gym with fantastic equipment and services but covid is treated as an after thought
Hello, Frank! Thank you for the review. We appreciate you as a member, and we are sorry you feel disappointed with our COVID response. We try to make the club as safe as possible for our members, and our staff is grateful that we have been able to stay open as we continue to strive to keep our members happy and healthy. If there is anything we can do to make your experience better or clarify any questions, please do not hesitate to directly reach out to a team member.

Thank you, Maggie for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: My favorite gym
We love hearing that! Thank you, Edgar!
Fantastic experience: A gem of a gym! Coming from a larger city, this gym surprised us. They offer some free classes, some paid, training, and lots of options form a basketball court to a pool. Clean and pretty well maintained.
We are so happy that you enjoy the gym and all of the amenities! We truly appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, clean, offers great classes, and have well educated trainers.

Thank you, Randy!
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Thank you, Judy for sharing your experience! We greatly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Different types of GYM activities
Thank you, Kuburat for sharing! We do our best to provide a variety of options!
Fantastic experience: Clean...comfortable environment with great amenities and staff
Thank you for sharing, Jimmy! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: The employees are great. They welcomed Little Champs Academy child care center to come in and learn about what a gym all entails. The children had the best time and the teachers feedback was all very positive about the field trip! Thank you!
Positive experience: I don't get there as often as I'd like to but the indoor track is great.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to work out and clean environment
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms and trainers
Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a quick workout while visiting a customer for work. 15$ gains access to all of the amenities gym/locker room/showeres/pool/sauna/steamroom/hot tub. Clean place. Sauna and steamroom were awesome after a workout. Staff was helpful and friendly and the place was very clean.
Fantastic experience: When you walk into Razor sharp There are three things you’ll notice. there isn’t a competitive enviroment and everyone seems very focused on their own thing, it feels ridiculously clean, and the free weights are Usually open for use. The pool they have is AMAZING. The temperature is great and it’s very big and spacious. They’ve got a basket ball court, ping pong table, indoor track, and a sauna location that is a very decent size. It’s an over all great gym to be at.
Fantastic experience: Love the pool area
Positive experience: Pleasant
Fantastic experience: Friendly, Helpful, Personnel!! Not overcrowded! Awesome indoor running track! Clean!
Positive experience: Very happy with this fitness center. Clean, So many classes offered for everyone, Friendly staff and I feel welcome every time I walk in.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym!! I’ve switched between Erie street and Washington Ave & both are excellent. The cleanliness is the biggest + for me. I hate dirty gyms & both are very clean!! The administrative staff are always accommodating. The only thing that I wish would be better is personal trainers having more availability. I didn’t need the personal training sesh that came with the new membership because I’m an experienced gym go-Er, but if I hadn’t been I would’ve been a little upset that the PTs didn’t have time for me. But I can overlook it for the awesome facility, cleanliness, and attentiveness of the administrative staff.
Fantastic experience: Razor Sharp is a phenomenal place for fitness. Totally awesome. Great equipment and even greater staff. There is plenty to do with lots if amenities. I love it.
Fantastic experience: Clean, clean clean, great helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: Nice staff, clean, well maintained.
Fantastic experience: Five years ago, our family decided to ditch the satellite dish in lieu of a membership to Razor Sharp Fitness. The mission statement of Razor Sharp Fitness is simple: To enhance the health and fitness of adults and youth living in Racine County through excellent customer service, premier facilities, and innovative programming. When our family visited Razor Sharp to inquire about a membership, Monica guided us through the process by explaining the policies of the fitness center, giving us a tour and answering any questions we had. Later in the week, I met with personal trainers Ben and Justin to discuss a health issue I was dealing with. Ben and Justin came up with a care plan of how I could improve my health, and assured me that the personal training team was there for me whenever I needed them to be. The employees at Razor Sharp are knowledgeable, courteous and professional. The facility has recently undergone a renovation project. The floor surfaces in the entrance, locker room, pool and hot tub area have been resurfaced. The temperature control system in the pool, and hot tub area have been replaced. The entire center has received a fresh coat of paint, and the furniture within the entryway has been updated. Overall, our families experience at Razor Sharp Fitness has been a positive one. I give this fitness center an A+!
Fantastic experience: Set up a booth at Razor Sharp Fitness ... clean facility and very friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the most comfortable place to work out. Super wonderful caring staff that check up on how you are doing towards reaching your goals. You don’t feel intimidated because there are many people of all ages and sizes working out on the equipment as well as in their classes which are really fun!
Fantastic experience: I just started there after being a Y member for so long and I love it best decision ever...
Fantastic experience: best place in town to exercise....very clean place, great staff always willing to help you, guide you or answer your questions or concerns......the fitness center located on Washington Avenue has a track as well a pool which is pretty cool.....the workout area is pretty big with lots of equipment and free weights....they also have all kind of classes .......they also offer massage and acupuncture
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Racine hands down, you pay more here but at much better value.
Positive experience: Very clean, well laid out facility
Fantastic experience: This place offers many options for your training needs: various classes in different rooms, very large area with weight lifting and cardio machines (a lot!), 2 swimming pools, indoor running area, indoor basketball court, sauna, jacuzzi, massage, acupuncture, protein smoothies corner, personal trainers, and much more! It does not operate 24h, but it has good coverage 7 days a week!
Fantastic experience: Regular use of warm water therapy pool
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Great place- personal trainer Justin is awesome- my wife and I joined a month a go and do not regret it . . . Keith Dorey
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities for workouts, training, physical therapy, relaxation.
Fantastic experience: Great warm salt water therapy pool. If you are in need of a soothing clean salt water therapy pool this is the best in the area! Nice spa area with steam, sauna, hot tub. Nice workout area with plenty free weights or machines to choose from. Clean club with friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: As a fitness professional, I can honestly say this is one of the best gyms I've been to. The kick start program for new members is a great example of how dedicated the staff is to the success of its members, by understanding members goals,where they are currently, and helping them feel comfortable and confident taking the next steps. They offer a variety of group fitness classes included with membership, which is great for new members who don't know where to start and for those who feel stuck in a fitness rut who want to switch up their routine. They offer a good variety of free weights and machines and I've never had to wait around to use the equipment. Overall the staff does a great job at making everyone feel welcome and enjoy coming to the gym.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area! Razor Sharp is clean and they offer a lot of features. The staff is helpful, friendly, and clear about prices. It's not too crowded and it has a nice atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, very helpful. It is always a positive experience for me.
Positive experience: Nice people
Positive experience: Clean, friendly place with excellent workout classes
Negative experience: I was excited to check this place out. Here's the catch though. The part of the club that makes it worth the high price tag, that is the center area of the track with multiple deadlifting platforms, squat racks, and overall tons of room and weight, is not usable by normal members. Off limits! Why make the best selling point of your gym reserved for classes? I asked and in response I was told sorry, that area is for trainers and our crossfit team. No room to budge for experienced lifters. Without that area this gym is nothing special. All the equipment there you can find at competing gyms for half the cost or cheaper. They need to reconsider their business plan. If they want to let equipment they invested in sit there without being used-and thereby not providing them any business by drawing lifters in- well I guess that is their choice. It's a shame that there are simply no gyms in southeast Wisconsin that provide a wide open, weightlifting-powerlifting-crossfit environment that you can train in on your own schedule with your own programming.
Fantastic experience: Gucci
Fantastic experience: Razor Sharp Fitness is one of a kind! Their staff is extremely friendly, they are clean and sanitary, they offer so many different classes and activities to do and have a location that is 24/7. It will be very hard to find a place comparable to Razor Sharp Fitness when I move out of state. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Negative experience: Quality is fine, but the fee structures are terrible. It's the most expensive gym in the area, plus you'll get to pay a joining fee and sign an annual contract. Along the way, you'll be nickel and dimed for everything and then if you leave any time except on the contact date, you'll get to pay a leaving fee of $144. For a long time they were the only big, full-service gym in town and they treat their customers that way.
Negative experience: What a joke. Razor sharp told my mother who is almost 70 years of age and in nice shape that she was obese (she 5' 4" and about 125lbs}. No wonder American women have such hang ups. How about trying to help anyone get a little more exercise and eat smaller portions. At this establishment apparently it is all or nothig which is the down fall of our society. I would never recommend this business to ANYONE.
