Animal House Gym

Fantastic experience: I've been to pretty much every gym in the Milwaukee area and Animal House is by far the best gym for people who are interested in weightlifting and want a good selection of cardio equipment as well. The owners are super friendly and have made me feel more welcome than anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, lots of hammer strength's and free weights, would definitely come back again whenever in town!

Fantastic experience: Hardcover but friendly. Clean and organized so you can do your workout without having to unload other people's wts. Great atmosphere with owners that take pride in keeping an honest lifter"s gym for anyone with a desire to improve!

Fantastic experience: There is no other gym like this in Milwaukee. No frills, no thrills, just straight up weight training. Staff and people are super friendly. If your looking for a no BS type of place you can't beat Animal House. Plus how can you go wrong with $5 anytime you want with no contract?

Fantastic experience: Classic warehouse weight-room for people trying to train with purpose.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite bodybuilding gyms in the country. The best equipment, super clean and well maintained (everything always works) the owners work there full time. I make the trip from downtown every time I am in Milwaukee to train here.

Fantastic experience: no nonsense gym with great equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great old school gym !

Fantastic experience: I have known John and Karen for 32 years. Always end up going back to their gym after my lay offs because it has a great balance of free weights, machines and cardio. No waiting and perfect for hardcore, beginners and anyone in between. Just a warning, if you want to be pampered this isn't the place, they do not have saunas or hot tubs. They do have lockers and showers which is all you need. It's a Gym after all and the best in the area. There is a great selection of merchandise and supplements as well.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms you'll ever find. Truly a gem. It got every machine you can think of, plenty of deadlifting platforms, squat racks, benches, variety of treadmills and more. Staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is great. The gym community here is one of the best you'll ever find as anyone meet are very hospitable and always willing to help. And the prices are the best I've seen so far for such a high quality gym. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: John and Karen run a fantastic place! A traditional "meat head" gym this is not. The equipment is well-maintained. Gym rats and beginners can all feel comfortable here.

Fantastic experience: Still one of the best gyms around. A lot of knowledge on the floor and great equipment.

Fantastic experience: Certainly a great place for workouts. Great equipment and weights for the strongest athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts. But also not intimidating for average person in my opinion. The owners are generous, kind, and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Animal House is 110% worth every penny. Great facility with every piece of equipment you can imagine. The owners are some of the friendliest people I've met. 10/10, will build muscle there for as long as I live in Wisconsin.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym Still my favorite gym and I have been to gyms all over the country. Karen and John are the best owners you could ask for.

Fantastic experience: Gyms like this are scarce in Wisconsin let alone everywhere. Tons of variety equipment wise. Sweet gym gear and drinks as well as the owners are very hospitable. Definitely better than a chain gym and the atmosphere speaks for itself.

Fantastic experience: This has been my 2nd home for many years and John and Karen are the best owners ever. Respectful people allowed only. If your not respectful to the equipment and others you will be asked to leave which is very nice. No one wants to go to a gym with such loud obnoxious lifters. Theres other gyms for that, this gym is meant for humble nice people who support one another and that's exactly what I feel every time I walk into that gym. A welcoming heart from every single person!

Fantastic experience: New to the area and have been looking for a new gym, visited animal house today, from a friends recommendation and as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by a friendly smile and amazing atmosphere. They explained pricing and answered all my questions, let me explore the gym and really made me feel like family and not just a stranger, definitely recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: This gym reminds me of my gym back home, The Lift Factory! It’s has this old school feel to it. It has some of the best variety of equipment I’ve ever seen. There’s no way you could have a bad workout in this place. It’s my favorite gym to train at when in Milwaukee.

Fantastic experience: To the owners of the fine establishment, "Animal House Gym", Mr. & Mrs. John and Karen Wajer; THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. I will always forever remember my recent visit to Wisconsin from the hospitality I received from you at the "Animal House Gym". Hugh Pouland Sugar Land, Texas

Fantastic experience: To the owners John and Karen! You have to be some of the most genuine people we have ever met. True owners who are dedicated to their establishment and customers. We drive almost an hour just to workout at Animal House. Hands down the best gym we have ever been to. We love coming to the gym and bonus smiles all our puppies give us! Jared and Katie

Fantastic experience: Wish this place was closer to me. My type of gym. Reminded me of my gym when I lived in Atlanta.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Well maintained equipment, clean, friendly people, John and Karen are awesome. Affordable too. Great place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym only gym I’ll ever go to. Great owners

Fantastic experience: One of the best warehouse gyms I've ever been to. I've been across the country going to very famous gyms for fun as part of my hobbies. I've been to many gyms like the Montanari Brother's gym in New Haven, Bev Francis in New Jersey, Quads in Chicago, Westside Barbell in Ohio, Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, Armbrust Pro gym in Colorado, and I'm a member of USA Gym in Illinois. This gym is up there with all that I've mentioned. Their equipment is absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere is that of any high caliber gym. I highly recommend this gym for anyone in the area or if you're there for a Kevin and Stacey Tomasini show! There's a lot of IFBB pros that workout here along with guest posers. If you're looking to be surround by the best in the industry, this is a great place to be. The owner has a ton of sweet Bernese mountain dogs and is extremely nice which is rare to find these days. Don't forget to get some apparel on the way out. The quality of their clothes are perfect and the cuts are unlike anything I've found. Again, I HIGHLY recommend this gym if you're anywhere in the area.

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym ever. Tons of machines. Two sets of free weights. A normal amount of cardio equipment but I mean...who does cardio? Love the staff, the intensity, and the puppers :)

Fantastic experience: John and Karen are the best everything they do is done to perfection. Best gym ever.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wisconsin. A place to get a quality lift.

Fantastic experience: I've visited this gym 10-12 times in the last 1 1/2 years and just signed up today. This place is absolutely perfect. The equipment is amazing -- just amazing (you'll see what I mean as soon as you scan the floor). The atmosphere is serious but also kind and casual. If you live in the Midwest and love to lift, Animal House is worth a visit. And if you live in the Greater Milwaukee area and seek a gym that motivates you, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the state..wish i lived closer

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Excellent equipment, nice people, clean.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the State by far! Ton of really nice, smooth machines

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to. It feels like you're in an 80's Schwarzenegger movie. Tons of equipment, friendly staff, clean... just a top notch hardcore gym!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym overall, never had a bad experience here.

Fantastic experience: Sweat gym, came here from Houston Tx. My body was yearning for some weights and this gym took care of that. Good prices and nice, friendly people. Would definitely come back here again next time. PEACE!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since 1/14/1991. I have worked out at gyms across WI, in over 20 states from NY To CA. In 7 countries 3 continents. I have been to gyms w/ more aerobic equipment and/or classes, Have been to Gyms there are gyms w/ saunas and pools, and to gym that were better equipped to support power lifters and weightlifters. However in animal house you get the best all-around experience Furthermore, proprietors Karen and John set the tone for the gym's unique atmosphere, for over 28 years they exemplify hard work, generosity. and customers service second to none. The gym and it's facilities are kept clean and equipment is well taken care of. New machines are added or upgraded frequently. Personally I enjoy every time I am in Animal house whether to work out or work w/ clients. over 95% of clients that worked with me over the years.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever I've been coming here for years ,John and Karen awesome people.
