The Milwaukee Athletic Club

I will start out by admitting that I am a bit of a gym whore.  I have been constantly switching gyms since I moved to Milwaukee.  I started out at the YMCA, and that only lasted a month before I realized that there were to many people and not enough pool, bike, or treadmill space for my liking.  Next I moved to the Wisconsin Athletic Club.  The have multiple locations too, less people (higher dues), and excellent spin/yoga/core/other class schedules and instructors.  This is why, despite my recent acceptance and move to the Milwaukee Athletic Club, I will be keeping the WAC membership as well.

Now, the MAC serves two major purposes.  First and foremost it is a networking club.  It provides multiple social networking opportunities for its members.  But, it does have excellent athletic facilities.  The pool is the highlight for me.  As long as I can remember I have been sharing lanes with multiple people in small pools.  And while your own lane might not simulate open water tri conditions, it is still pretty nice.  Anyway, today was my first workout there and I went for a 2500 yard swim (in a 6 foot wide lane, by myself).  First impression was excellent and I'll update you on further happenings as I continue to go there.

Also, stay tuned for my season schedule.  Im still working out dates and funding!
