Best gym in the city, owner knows what hes doing. Inexpensive, great people, equipment actually gets upgraded. No other gym comes close. Planet Fitness has ridiculous covid regulations, Golds is outrageously expensive, and 3D Fitness is in a very annoying location. Highland has the best of all worlds but they really should get a hot tub.

I love this gym! The staff are so nice and are always willing to help you out with anything you need! The classes they offer are awesome and are built for people at any level of fitness! They also throw cool themed weekends and provide awesome challenges for those on the results weight loss program! I would highly recommend this gym if your looking for a place to workout! All the trainers are also very nice and are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals! The space is comfortable and open as well!

I have been a member of Highland Fitness for a few years now and have worked with a few different trainers as part of the fitness classes I attend. They are all amazing!Since March, Tim has been offering virtual classes via Zoom that I attend 3 days a week. I am working from home for now and these classes are very appreciated. They are such a great workout, Tim has proven to be one of the best trainers through this tough stretch. He is always prepared with great workouts that hit your whole body and get your heart rate up. He always has alternative exercises and is good at checking in to see what our aches and pains are so he can work around them if they exist.Also, prior to March, I worked with Julie three days a week in the HIIT classes and she also does a great job. She is full of energy and keeps things fun!Both are part of what makes Highland a great place to be.

I have been going to Highland Fitness east ridge location for about a year now and have had many positive experiences with both the gym itself and staff. The staff is always attentive and willing to help/answer questions. All issues and questions I have had about equipment and the facilities have been answered and addressed in a timely manner. In the last 6 months the gym space has been expanded and a good deal of new equipment has been added. The student rate that I receive is very competitive in the Eau Claire market. Having a steam room and sauna are nice perks too! Keep up the great work 💪

I had the opportunity to live in Eau Claire from 2017-2019. Awesome place to live but something that made my experience was this gym. The staff is the best, by far, in the area, always a great atmosphere, and just a great place to be. Everyone there whether lifting or working is very approachable and will help you if you have any questions at all. I’d recommend this gym to anyone either living in Eau Claire or moving there and looking for a place to keep in or get into shape. Loved every second of it!

The East Ridge location has a large workout area (so even when it’s busy, you don’t feel smothered) and is clean. I have enjoyed my experience with Highland Fitness and the staff there. Everyone is friendly, helpful and encouraging. Highly recommend giving Highland Fitness the opportunity to help you with your healthy living goals.

I was a faithful franchise fitness girl, I traveled around the state for work and school and I was unable to commit to a good gym or grow roots. I found highland fitness though, and I can’t believe how happy I am. The quality of equipment, the amazing facilities (yes plural), knowledgeable staff, and the atmosphere creates a place that needs lifters to pro bodybuilders can grow together.This gym is my home and I’m so happy!

One of my favorite places to be! Highland has friendly staff, great trainers, fun classes, and a lot of equipment. That, along with the friendships I have made over the years, makes for a great training environment. I cant speak highly enough of Highland Fitness.

I absolutely love Highland Fitness! I mainly go to the East location because I love the atmosphere there. There is something about going down those stairs and being greeted by staff that is always smiling and happy to see you. I enjoy the equipment that Highland offers and they are always looking at ways to improve. Keep up the great work!!!

I like the gym alone itself but the old lady is so rude. she came in and yelled at everyone in the sauna for having too many people instead of just saying it nicely. she also yelled at 3 kids with towels on even though it doesn’t say anywhere you have to have shorts on. most other gyms let you do that so she could have nicely said it.

We primarily go to the club to meet with our personal trainer, Tim Hermann. He’s great. He really listens to what you want and adjusts your workouts accordingly.

Review №23

Glad to see that the staff has already stopped doing anything about the Governors mask mandate. Over half of the people in the gym were not wearing masks. They may have put signs up saying you are required to wear a mask but they sure arent doing anything about it.Edit: To explain why the gyms reply and statement on individuals not being required to wear masks due to health conditions isnt applicable in this situation, here are some more details.Over half of the people who were not wearing masks in the gym had a mask or face covering around their neck. So they had a mask with them, they just werent going to wear it.In addition to this others not wearing a mask preceded to then put a mask on as they were leaving the gym. So if they dont have to wear a mask for their own medical reasons Im not sure why they would put one on to leave the gym.Then the most frustrating part was the fact that one of the staff members, who I will not name, preceded to have conversations with the individuals not wearing a mask and did not bat an eye.

Amazing staff! And I love the atmosphere. It’s also great for Bikini or bodybuilding competitors because they can utilize the classroom when classes aren’t in use so you can practice your posing! They Also have all the equipment you need to hit all your fitness goals. Just wish it was open 24/7.

My husband and I have been members of Highland Fitness for over 10 years. The receptionists always warmly greet us as we walk to the desk. There are available morning and evening classes at least 4 days a week. I like that the machines I use are always available as there are plenty of elliptical machines, stationery bikes, tread mills--and a variety of weights. I even appreciate the clean, warm towels for showering--which lessens our laundry at home!

Amazing gym! So much equipment to choose from and a really great environment. Eastridge is large enough; it never feels crowded, Westridge is amazing because it’s 24/7. The trainers are knowledgeable and will help you if you are struggling! I highly recommend this gym!!

My experience at Highland Fitness has been wonderful. Ive been working with Sarah, a trainer there, and she is great! Ive always had gym anxiety and she has been so helpful getting me set up with a regular routine. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. I never feel like Im being judged at Highland. I highly recommend checking them out!

Highland Fitness is an integral, important, and positive part of my daily routine. I try to start everyday at Highland. I like to do yoga three times a week and Silver Fit twice a week. I love all the instructors! We are lucky enough to have several qualified and exceptional yoga instructors, all with their own unique way of teaching! I love the variety they bring keeping each class unique. With all the different perspectives, I feel well versed in the practice of yoga. Julie, our instructor for Silver Fit does not treat us ‘mature’ students with ‘kid gloves’. We get a great workout using aerobics, hand weights, and stretch bands. I feel stronger now than I did 30 years ago! And the icing on the cake is the camaraderie of the Highland clients and the rest of the Highland staff. So many good people to get to know!

Ive been going to Highland Fitness for almost 5 years now, and Ive had nothing but a positive experience. The management, trainers, and front desk workers are top-notch. The gym doesnt cater to one specific group, but rather is great for people just beginning their fitness journeys, people who have been at it for years, and everyone in between. If youre looking for a quality, affordable gym, this is the one!

All of the staff had been nothing short of awesome to me here! They are always friendly, talkative and helpful with anything you need. I have had great encounters with two of the trainers, Tim and Hillary. I have never done personal sessions with them but both have given me time and pointers in form and training. Kelly and Zach, the owner, both helped me when I broke my finger and even reached out to me outside of the gym to see how the recovery process was going. Absolutely love this gym and the staff!

I have called Highland Fitness my second home for 4 years now and absolutely love the facility. The free weights section has plenty of dumbbells and an adequate number of squat racks and benches. There are a lot of cables to use as well as a great cardio section. My favorite part is the sauna and other available rooms to do your own lifts in. The staff makes the facility such a friendly and fun environment as well. Love Highland. Definitely recommend.

Highland fitness is a wonderful place to workout. The staff are always super friendly and willing to help. They have a lot of equipment that are kept in great condition. They have a lot of cardio options and even a place for more cross fit types of workouts. I love that they have a sauna as well. I would recommend this place to anyone from anyone who is new to working out or advanced! :)

Review №45

Cant quit the gym! Daughter moved out of state. We agreed to pay the $40 early cancellation fee but they have continued to deduct the monthly charge. This has been going on for 4 MONTHS. We call every month and keep being told that THIS TIME its corrected but it will take a couple of weeks to get the refund.So far, no refund and they drafted the payment every month. This is now month FIVE.I am reluctant to EVER let someone have access to my accounts through auto draft. I ONLY allowed it in this case because they are LOCAL people. Never trust anyone is the lesson learned here.Extremely poor customer service, getting a 2 vs a 1 because they do have flexible hours and equipment.

Review №47

Highland fitness Eastridge is such a great environment. From the friendly front staff to the behind the scenes, the owner and trainers I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I was a member for 15 years, left and didn’t hesitate to return when I came back to the area. I cannot day enough about these guys. Tim is a fantastic trainer, motivator and friend, there each and everyday to greet you with a smile in his face, wether it’s 5AM or 7PM, he’s always willing to push you in the direction you need. Hilary is a wealth of knowledge in the fitness world, always in tune with each and every client, a mentor I can rely on when I need insight. Undoubtely, hands down the best place to be when you need fitness goals, a happy place or a place to feel like home!

Ive been going to Highland for close to two years now and have been very satisfied. The staff is friendly, approachable, and can answer any questions you might have. I also enjoy the towel service and the sauna when I can use it. Besides that, I love the fact that there are two 24hr locations for those who cant make it in for regular hours at the Eastridge center. Overall, well taken care of gym. Equipment is pretty worn at the Eastridge center, but still works as well as day one.

Highland Fitness has a great work out environment with nice staff. Dont be afraid to approach fellow gym goers. From my experience they are a pleasure to talk to. Customer service from the front desk is accommodating as always. Trainers like to pop in on your work out to say hey. Thats always Nice.Some of the equipment is a little older but doesnt take from your workout. If youve ever been to the real Venice muscle beach, this place is awesome.

I have been a member at Highland Fitness for the past 7 years, utilizing both the Eastridge and Westridge locations, as well as the personal training services. Staff is personable, helpful, and genuinely interested in members’ success and wellbeing. Equipment is always clean and up-to-date, with plenty to go around at even the busiest times of day. I have had nothing but great experiences here and will continue as a member as long as I live in the Chippewa Valley!

Tim Hermann is amazing to train with. He is constantly mixing up the exercises to keep things interesting and really knows how to target different areas of the same muscle group. I am constantly learning new things from him such as alternative approaches to each lift. You have to love the positive energy he always brings to the table.

I have been going to Highland Fitness for 4 years and do not plan on switching gyms anytime soon. It is a great facility with free weights, cardio, machines, and plenty of classes to join.

I was skeptical because Im not really into weight loss plans. Theyre great for losing but not great for living. This has been a pleasant surprise. Its a great workout once a week that I can do at my own level and theres a lot of support, along with a little nudge every now and again. I regularly get great recipe suggestions that use real food and are delicious and easy to make. I feel great and Im looking good and Im confident that I can maintain my weight loss with ease. Id highly recommend Results!

I’ve been a regular member at Highland Fitness for the last couple years. I enjoy the convenience of 3 locations 2 of which are 24 hour access. The main location at Eastridge center is just doors away from a supplement shop. Whether you’re into free weights or cables bodybuilding or just putting in a few miles on a treadmill, looking for a yoga class or personal trainer getting in a tanning session or just simply doing your own thing Highland Fitness is a friendly non judgmental environment. Every walk of life attend and not just scary gym rats. If you want to build a new you Highland Fitness should be your first stop.
