On of the best gyms I have visited. There arrangements for covid 19 are superb. Clean, modern and new equipment spread out to facilitate movement in times of Covid. Locker rooms, swimming pool and training rooms are great.

Its good for a free gym experience for students. Very convenient hours and nice amenities. Ive seen staff cleaning often including vacuuming, wiping down rails, and changing wipes for machines but the Staff is often rude and not welcoming. Saw ants in the womens locker room, gross. I wish the hand sanitizer was filled more often in varied parts of the gym. Also my BIGGEST pet peeve: the facility says the gym policy is no tank tops yet their group X instructors get to wear tank tops. Seems rude and contradicting since I have pairs of shirts very similar to the tank tops theyre allowed to wear. Either change the rule so everyone can wear tank tops or change the group x instructor uniforms.

Good workout areas and pretty good times that its open. Most of the time people clean the machines which is great to see.

Besides getting fairly packed at certain times of the day (which seems to be any gym), the K is a great place to workout at. I especially love the hidden gem that is the Functional Training gym. I appreciate that this is a free amenity to UWM students.

Great place to play some ball and hangout with friends. New gyms and big courts.

Weight Room can be bigger than what it is already. New equipment looks good and its clean and friendly staff, but compared to the size of the university the weight room feels really tiny as it can be overcrowded with people sometimes particularly in the evenings. Other than that, no complaints.

As a student, I really appreciate everything the Klotsche has to offer. Weight room is clean and most frequent users are aware of the rules and expectations. Never have had or heard directly of stuff being stolen as some have claimed (if youre worried, they have spacious locker rooms - just bring your own lock). Pool, basketball/volleyball courts, and track are all well-kept. Have not been to any of the school-hosted programs, but I plan to soon.

Nice gym, just dont wear tank tops as I have seen too many people walked in wearing them. Its against their policies

The building is all around great for UWM students. You’ll definitely find a favorite machine and activity.Pros:- Lots of different amenities to choose from- The equipment is well kept and rarely breaks- The staff have always been helpful- Open hours are pretty good compared to other gyms- The pool is typically clean and the lane lines are well placedCons:- The people who go here are usually extremely fit; which is slightly intimidating

Good place to go bowling on Friday and Saturday because the games are $3 for 3 games

UWM students get a free membership to the facility, and they have reasonable prices for families. My husbands membership is only $75 per semester (about $19/month), and compared to the facilities available at cheaper gyms, this is a bargain.Spacious weight room, plenty of cardio machines, lovely track and several basketball and racquetball courts. The pool is open to members everyday for certain hours as well.The place gets busy during the school year, especially mid evening, but you usually dont have to wait to long for a machine, but you will probably need to have the courage to ask a swimmer to share lanes in the pool.

This is specifically a weight room review and not for the rest of the facility.The weight room is pretty typical for a modern-day gym. About half of the floor is full of machines and the other half has various flat benches, squat racks, and a dumbbell rack. Just up the stairs you will find a reasonable selection of cardio machines. Unfortunately, theres a lot missing. First, there arent any platforms or bumper plates so dont expect to do any Olympic lifts here. Second, the gym doesnt have a deadlift jack so if you deadlift heavy youre going to have a harder time loading the bar. Third and most egregiously is that CHALK IS NOT ALLOWED, which is an extremely silly and ignorant rule. Not using chalk while lifting weights, especially with barbells is a bad idea, and any properly equipped weight room should have chalk provided.Beyond the missing equipment is the fact that you will be chewed out for making significant noise while lifting, particularly while deadlifting. The reason for this is that the facility seems to have been designed by bureaucrats and not by people who were actually knowledgeable about designing a fitness facility, because the weight room is on an upper floor directly above some staff offices. Said staff members will complain about the noise to the student staff that works in the weight room, who in turn are obligated to tell people to not slam the weights when in reality there was no slamming being done. Its an obnoxious setup but not deal breaking.Overall, its a decent place for strength training, but the lack of key equipment and obnoxious rules force me to give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Anyone interested in strength training can get a reasonable start here, but if they become interested in more serious lifting they should spend the extra cash to join a proper gym for that purpose.
