Sun Prairie Athletic Club Review

Excellent had granddaughter birthday party there very clean facilities

Best large exercise facility in Sun Prairie. Something for everyone in the family.

Love this place! Something for all ages here. Warm water pool is the BEST! Very clean and friendly staff.

It does require a paid membership to attend. I believe daily guest passes are available. I've been a member for 3 weeks so I'm not sure about the entire operation yet. The walking track is great when the weather isn't so good. I've also gotten a lot of use out of the warm water pool.

Locally owned athletic club. Newly remodeled. One of the largest athletic clubs in WI. You name it they have it. Indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball, etc. The food is pretty good too.

The Prairie Athletic Club holds many after school clubs and events, but is also a great place to work out and play your favorite sports.

COLD swimming pools - the heated kids pool is freezing and the heated family pool is barely warm! Tons of chlorine in the pools - bleached my black bathing suit to a stripped ugly gray - yet the water feels slimy at times and there is a very strong ammonia smell. Locker rooms need to be improved; need shelves, hooks, rubber floor mats instead of carpet and better shower handles. Kids gym is falling apart, the equipment is ripped/dirty! The new addition is beautiful and well done, but the older buildings of the gym are in desperate need of repair and updating. What keeps me coming back is how friendly the staff have been, the kid activities and diversity. Having said that, the gym really needs a few improvements to keep me after my contract expires. I hope they will improve it.

Fantastic facility with everything you need to workout. The indoor pools are great for families, and you can have dinner delivered pool-side!

We went for the day to the water park and had a great time. It is a great place to take active kids.

I love this place. Good variety of things to do. Nice indoor and outdoor pools, basketball courts, nice workout equipment too. Staff are friendly also!

They have it all. Cardio heavy weights and a great staff. Highly recommend it.

There is a great selection of services available here... but for a price. The PAC makes you pay extra for everything!! I am not planning on renewing my membership because so many of a the extra things that make it seemingly worth the expensive price actually cost MORE to do.

Staff is friendly and I can see having a family plan and using the pool area, basketball, soccer, etc if you have small children.

Otherwise I hope you enjoy battling over equipment and dealing with kids running around unsupervised. Just getting in the parking lot can be a chore. I have flat out stopped going during busy hours because it just isnt worth the hassel. I live to close to go anywhere else or I would without hesitating.

Very nice facility. Played in an indoor soccer league there, very nice pitch.

Great club, but I wish they didn't nickel and dime you for some of the classes.

I've been going here with my family for about 5 years now. They are always growing and improving their programs and facilities. The staff has always been friendly and well trained, they treat you as if you are family. Prairie Athletic Club, is one of the biggest reasons we fell in love with Sun Prairie! I'm thankful to be a part of such a great club.

Great for a family gym. Thanks for offering a military rate as well. Best racquetball in or around Madison and Sun Prairie.

Family-friendly with variety of programs from seniors to kids. Constantly improving facilities and programs. Phenomenal Hot Yoga studio, tremendous Triathlon Team, professional personal trainers. Clean, well-maintained equipment with plenty of space in a variety of nooks for every ability. Great refreshed menu at Lost Court and Bob and Vel's coffee shop. Something for every age to encourage, continue or re-start an active lifestyle.

Best workout environment I've ever experienced. Great community to be around and I love the coffee shop Bob and Vels within the gym. Always a friendly crew working and great people.

Excellent selection of group classes, private coaching for personal fitness and an excellent group of massage therapists. I have used the pool in the winter and the outdoor summer pool. There are so many things to choose from. I have been a member for 5 years.

Long time member and love it! Can't imagine going anywhere else.

Great facility! We had our daughter s 7 year s birthday pool party at PAC. Such a great service they provided! Staff is very responsive, respectful and friendly. We ordered vegetarian food and everything was delicious :)
Thanks PAC and all the employees! We are proud member of PAC!!!!!!

I go here a lot, and it has a large variety of options of things to do including, soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, racquetball, track, swimming, a variety of workout equipment, and more. There is also a restaurant within the Prairie Athletic Club that serves great food and is a great place to hang out and maybe watch some sports on the TV. The Prairie Athletic Club is also a great place to hangout with friends and the staff is very nice.

We are non-members, but decided to do our daughter's 8th B-Day party there. We were able to change the "typical" party schedule and remove the gym time since these little girls truly wanted to spend most of their time swimming. The person we worked with to coordinate the party time/details was responsive. The only unfortunate thing is that they don't have an online party reservation system so you can't see what's available real-time. The party went well and the kids had fun, so I d say it was a success. We would definitely do it again.

Amazing family owned gym with a friendly close-knit atmosphere... with kick butt workout class options and fun for the entire family.

Absolutely an amazing gym. They have all of the equipment that you could ask for, including 12 basketball hoops, racquetball courts, 3 gym areas, crossfit (Not a fan but hey, it's there!), a punching bag, soccer field, a pool and more! I have a discounted membership that my family had a few years ago so we have a set price for the membership so it's pretty cheap but it's a very quality gym with a nice atmosphere and nice people. Highly recommend it!

I rember going to this place when i was a little kid like 5 or 6 or whatever i rember i pinched a kid so hard i made her cry

Been a member going on 3 years. Great place for families with plenty of activities for all age groups. The thing that stands out to me is that on weekends you see the owners involved in the club whether it is working with the clinics, picking up weights, or even moving snow all night. The staff is very accomodating. Great facilities. I travel quite a bit and visit many gyms/clubs. I have never seen a club yet that gives you as much value for your membership like the PAC.

The facility has just been upgraded with a massive new cardiovascular area, new lockerrooms, brand new weight equipment, and a TON of new classes!

Great place to workout and ppl are awesome and its a lot of programs.

A great place for workout. Great club with many sports and more of a recreational place with lot of space. Enjoy playing Racquetball leagues and friendly staff.

The best gym I've ever belonged to. This is gold standard for how gyms should treat their members

This facility offers so much in terms of equipment and activities, but fails to rise to 5 star status simply because there are so many small areas in disrepair. Where it has the capability to really be a one size fits all, top notch facility, it hovers just above "good." That being said, the staff are friendly and helpful, it offers a lot of varied activities, and it has a great coffee shop and grill.

Great workout facility and a variety of classes for kids and adults. Love the kid care

The gym is great the equipment is rather well maintained and the staff is nice! Very expensive as a downside but where else is there to go aside from Madison?

Great all-around workout place water slides for kids

Fantastic staff and variety of group fitness classes. Something for everyone in the family. Highly recommend.

Love it! The pools are awesome. The staff is accommodating. The building is kept clean with safety in mind. We love going as a family with plenty that kids can be involved in.

First time we been there and we loved it , fun for the kids and adults

Lots of old equipment, weird layout. Way too many classes and cross fit require extra fees, on top of the already sky-high monthly fee.

Great place, everything you would want. Plus super friendly staff !

I have been going to this facility since 1986, and everyone there does outstanding work in helping to build a healthy, strong community!

MASSIVE! Has everything. They seem to neglect the weight room as far as equipment goes.

Staff is super friendly (especially Andrew) and great place to work out

The PAC has everything you need for a great workout

You have to pay extra for everything. I grew up being a member with my parents for 15 years. Then moved away to college, came back 2 years later and I was forced to get my own expensive membership. My parents were always on the cheapest plan possible but I was able to use the adult pool for free even after dolfins cove was built. Now my emerald package (cheapest available now but still expensive as hell) doesn't cover the basic outdoor adult pool. They wanted to charge me $5 to use just the adult pool. Which by the the aquatic center is $4 for everything. I was pissed the they now charge extra for the basic little adult pool outside when that never used to cost anything extra. They also charge to walk the track at my package level. Crooks! The only reason why I tolerate it is because I lift free weights a lot and the Y doesn't have what the pac has. Although the stupid excel courses are taking a lot of the free weights and equipment which is beyond annoying. The pac is rich, but more equipment, more curl bars more clips, more flat benches and stop making things exclusive to the excel classes. They must have 50-100 medicine balls while the rest of the club has maybe 5. They took does the hanging ab straps months ago. I asked when they would be getting more to replace them. The owner said a few weeks, but it's been months and I'm still waiting. Again the pac is rich, drive to dicks and buy them for $40 to replace the ones you took down ages ago. Oh and the parking lot is the Dumbiest layout ever. Soon they will start to charge for parking. Unless you are hardcore in free weights and body building go to the Y. Save money

Been a member for a number of years and they try to make it better each year. Dolphin's Cove is great for my son and daycare is wonderful. I have never had a problem doing/using anything I wanted, I just planned ahead.

Awesome athlete center for all ages, everything you need for staying fit and healthy, also has an outside waterpatk

Hot Yoga is so great there. All the instructors are all so nice and actually care about your health and wellness. The facility is modern and clean. Lots of parking. Great place to go for the yogis.

I ve been going here my whole life and this place has been nothing but good memories

Worst gym -
Only one volleyball court always either tournaments or rented out.
Only one badminton court, surrounded by Basket ball courts.
Very expensive.
Very old equipment (for example, they have only two volleyballs even though good volleyball costs only 30 bucks and they have Antique badminton birds).

Love PAC!! I wish they had an express gym in De Forest :)

Got a day pass for the pool and it was a nice outdoor park

Love Friday Volleyball! I am not even a member of this gym, but Prairie Athletic opens up their sand volleyball courts on Fridays to the general public. With a full bar right at the courts, this is a great way to spend a Friday evening playing competitive volleyball!

Love the club! Friendly and very helpful staff! Thank you!

Huge gym with several aerobics rooms and everything fitness.

Great facility a d programs offered for all ages and abilities!

Super clean, well maintained, food is extremely good and staff is all hands on deck all year round. Covid or no covid it s always top notch.

Absolutely amazing place just need it to be built in Oklahoma.

I have been coming to the Prairie Athletic Club since 1998 and I must say it's always been a big part of my childhood. I have seen a lot of change over the years all of them amazing! :) I highly recommend at least trying this place as a guest, chances are you know somebody with a membership here. The staff has always treated me kindly and if I have an issue I know I can trust them to resolve it.

Lots of activities and leagues to join too. It's more then just a gym it's a central part of the community spanning 40 years and constantly improving :)

My home away from home! The staff is very professional, educated, informed, helpful, caring and accommodating!

Want to get fit and have fun? They have everything, and great membership plans for families. Their guest day passes are too expensive tho, too expensive to bring visiting family for a day at one of my fave places, too bad.

Awesome birthday party venue!!!! The staff was super helpful, the kids had a great time and honestly the easiest party ever to plan. Seriously, I showed up with a cake and they did everything else! It was a great experience!!!

A very friendly club, where the owners are present and visible and the staff is friendly and many of the staff and all you by name.

Amazing facility that offers something for everyone. The reinvest back into the club continually and it shows.

great facility! I especially enjoy using the 24/7 annex down the road! well worth the money!

Poor costumer service. Finally transferred membership to still be charged for it 3 days later even though I was told that it would not happen. When I called the manager stated I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do about it. With the rates that PAC charges you would think they could train their management on good costumer service...

The number #1 club. Very friendly people. Crossfit Vultus the best....

Best Gym Ever. The place is a second home where everyone knows your name and they are glad you came.

I have been a member at PAC since 1996. If you are looking for a top notch, up to date work out facility, this is the place. PAC is constantly updating the facility, equipment, and group work outs. I also travel a lot and have frequented other gyms and the basic cost for a one time work out is $10.00. $5.00 to use the pool is fairly reasonable.

It has more equipment, classes, courts and pools than any other place. But it's not user friendly if you have a disability. More steps than I've ever seen at a gym. One small elevator way in the front. I tried Silver Sneakers yoga and was told the closest locker room was downstairs. And LOTS of stairs. The women's locker room for the lap pool is up an enormous flight of stairs! Basically, this facility is painfully awkward.

Friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful pools and workout facilities.

My wife and I had a very poor experience with the party planning for our 8 year old's birthday party. Overall lack of communication, lack of organization and they even forgot the gift bags for our guests. We tried following up several times with emails and never received a response. I would not book or recommend the party planning again.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great layout (everything seems spread enough apart that it makes it easier to workout bcuz there aren't many people gawking at how weak I am). Love all the options for working out as well. Especially the bball courts.

This place is huge, they have everything you could want no other gyms come close.
