Next up is Juneau Town's Wisconsin Athletic Club, situated at 411 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 600. With four stars out of 28 reviews on Yelp, the gym and massage therapist spot has proven to be a local favorite.

Grace B. said, "Nice locker rooms, bright gym area. I like that even during peak times, there are plenty of machines and the weight area is relatively spacious.
