I used a complimentary day pass to workout out the downtown WAC. I had a YMCA membership but have…read morealways been curious about the WAC and how if might differ/be better, etc. My initial impression was, I'm in a gym on a college campus. It was busy when I went (5:30pm on a Monday) which made getting a leg or arm circuit done on the weight machines a bit tricky. Now, if you wanted to use an elliptical or other cardio equipment those machines were mostly open. Some things I absolutely loved about this WAC location: The indoor track inside (9 laps = one mile). In the winter, it's like you're walking in a snow globe. There are huge floor to ceiling windows that offer great city views. The staff! Very warm, helpful, patient and kind. The steam room and sauna in the locker rooms. Keys to lockers are provided as well as towels and there's shaving cream in the locker room showers. Free parking so long as you download the parking app used here and scan the QR code before leaving the gym (parking is free for up to 3 hours). Olympic size/caliber weight room on the second floor (this gym is only two floors and does not have a gym). After my one day workout sesh, will I be back? If I lived downtown on the east side of the city then yes I would hop on the WAC train and member up. But being a 15 minute drive from downtown, and not always in the mood to workout after work I don't think I will be calling this gym "mine" any time soon. Regardless, it was a lot of fun to try this location out and to see the nice amenities the WAC has to offer downtown.

This is the main WAC I go to...I've gone over the years quite a few times here, but over summer I…read morestarted going in the morning and have been really glad its become part of my routine. While one of the smaller WACs, it has lovely views of the city from its location on the 6th floor of the 411 building. Theres an indoor track that runs along the outside of the gym, and a second floor (the 5th) has more weight training areas and another group exercise studio. They do a lot of classes if you're into that sort of thing, and while the equipment isn't super fancy it gets the job done and there isn't usually too long of a weight fot anything. The great thing about the WAC is I consider it a "full service" type of club with free lockers, towels, coffee, very nice showers and other services (for a fee ) like PT and massage. The WAC is more expensive than a planet fitness but you definitely get what you pay for here No pool sadly at this site but there is a steam room (and maybe a sauna?) In the locker room. Nice friendly environment to work out in - 5 stars!

What do you need to know before you check out and join a gym? Overall: This place is awesome…read more Classes/PT: Great workouts of all varieties, including strength training, boot camps, kickboxing, yoga, and HIIT to name a few. There are so many ways to visit Brew Fitness - in person, online for live zoom classes and on-demand classes. I've added a picture of my favorite area - the personal training station. I love the group classes, but the personal training offered here is wonderful. The trainers are knowledgeable, nice and fun! Membership: I do the unlimited membership because it gives me access to all the classes, but you can buy packs of classes, a virtual membership, on-and demand access. All very well priced! You can even drop in for single classes! Extra bits: Also worth mentioning are the dogs you might see, the beer you may drink and the coffee that's always available. It's also always clean - it's two levels of fitness fun. Just a unique experience at a gym that's truly member focused. The members are some of the best and nicest people you'll meet and I'll say it again - you'll get a great workout too! Get down here!

The caesar salad half portion was plenty for a quick lunch and had good sized anchovy pieces if that's your thing. I really liked the deconstructed crouton crumble with the perfect creamy dressing. Beautiful building with plenty of history and you can tell it's a great spot for professionals looking for a space away from work for meals, wifi, or a workout break. There isn't any easy parking (aside from pay meters with 2 hour limits) as with most of downtown. While I don't think I'd want to become a member, I think it's a good space for those already in the area.

And if I'm being honest I've put my sweater in the locker without a lock and it's never gone missing *knock on wood* a win is a win. The river walk is prime location for a cooldown, or wind down.

For $15 a month that's really great, IF you can walk to it or take the bus. It's not crowded if you go early in the morning before work or late at night, but after work on the weekdays can get a little crazy. They could probably use some more free weights, and I would love to see a bench machine or two or even just a good old fashioned bench press. They have those squat machines you can rig to do bench presses but it's a pain to get it situated just right. Just get some dedicated bench machines. Otherwise, everything is very clean, they've got showers, a little spa area for the Black Card members, and the location's pretty cool. A good reason to get up super early and fit in a workout before work.

It can get a little crazy at certain points in the day, with various teams practicing in some spaces and the wight room can get crowded. But overall, I love the Kern Center.
