Waunakee Village Center

When I decided I needed to drop some serious poundage earlier this year, I elected convenience over variety. While the fitness center at the Waunakee Village Center is quite a bit smaller than than any of the health clubs in the area, it is close to where I live. That convenience meant actually getting to the gym, working out and getting value for my membership.
What I like:
* The fitness center is immaculate and the equipment is well maintained. There always is a staff member walking around with a spray bottle keeping things clean.
* There’s lots of natural light. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but after working out in places with with artificial lighting, it’s like night and day (pardon the obvious pun).
* The fees are reasonable. A single membership is $ 300 annually and my health insurance picks up half the tab.
* It’s not over crowded. Even during the busy periods in January and February, I could always get on a treadmill or elliptical machine.
* The staff are cheerful and always helpful.
What I don’t:
* Weekend hours are not great. 7 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays and 9 AM to 5 PM on Sundays. The late opening time on Sunday is especially frustrating.
* Classes cost extra and the good ones fill up very quickly.
So if you’re living in the only Waunakee in the World and are looking for a great place to workout, definitely consider a membership at the Village Center.
