Razor Sharp Fitness

I absolutely love this gym! It is by far the best in racine! The facility is clean, the staff is friendly, and the programming, classes, personal training services, and pool are wonderful!

Let me start out by saying I am an active member, have been for going on 2 years and I am there at least 5 days a week. I think the staff is very friendly, there are a few classes that I like and the indoor track is especially nice when its cold outside. HOWEVER… Many of the cardio machines connectivity to the cable system are not and have not worked for months. I get that the AV equipment is a nice feature and not directly related to my workout, but if your going to show off those features to people that tour the place and pay a premium price, then those features should be in working order. Several have wires hanging and many more have shorts in them so you have to fiddle with them to try to get them working. When you do find one that works, the audio and video are out of sync on many of the channels. I also find that a couple of the ellipticals are quite noisy. As an update, they have repaired the ones with the broken grips.
I want to emphasize that myself and others have been mentioning these issues to staff, so these issues and this review shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody there.
I get what I need from there and it is located close by, but your customers sign a contract to pay you all year. I think Razor, as one of the most costly fitness centers in town, falls short of holding up their end of the deal. I’m not going to say don’t join, but shop around and ask the tough questions. Thanks.
Update as of Nov 2015. After many months with no improvement, I have gone back to the YMCA. I actually got shocked through my head phones the last time couple times I was there (tried 2 sets of headphones to make sure it wasn’t the headphones). I also found many of the treadmills missing the clips to stop in an emergency. I went from disappointed to just plain disgusted with the lack of customer care.
I suggest anyone thinking of joining take a close look at these issues I have mentioned in my reviews. Ask the hard questions, you will see that I have not embellished or exaggerated. Its your money and there are better, safer places that take care of their customers. Thanks.

This review, like Curt H’s, will probably be down voted. Friendly staff, though not always knowledgeable about machines.
The main club needs a good scrub. Members need to be better about wiping off equipment when done. Old equipment is old, because it «lasts forever.» Class schedule is limited. Only one yoga class after 5PM during the week.
For premium pricing, you don’t get a state-​of-​the-​art facility.

Not a bad place. needs a good cleaning… the carpet in the (mens) locker room is about as clean as a public toilet. The whole place is starting to smell… nasty.
Some fun classes, can be a little busy after work. Some of the workers should put a little effort into doing their jobs. Lots of sitting around talking (especially later in the evening). Other members need to learn to wipe off their nasty sweat after using equipment and put weights away… seems every Jan/​Feb there is a lot of new people who think other members should clean up after them… gets old…
Management is OK… sometimes nice, other times not a word (welcome/​goodbye). The owner could be a little more friendly to members… I’ve been a member for 8 yrs and she’s never once even said hi…

This is by far the cleanest facility in Racine. When my husband and I took tours of other facilities we we amazed at how clean and up to date Razor Sharp was kept. Their staff is always friendly and I enjoyed working with Jenny, a personal trainer who never gave up one and got me in the best shape she could for my wedding. Oh and a big plus was that there were no children running around. I have kids myself but I certainly like that the locker rooms and most of the facility are free of them. Good job, Razor! Can’t wait to see the downtown location!

This is a beautiful facility with a great staff. My husband and I joined crossfit and signed up for a year. The only downside is that it’s pretty expensive even compared to other crossfit classes in the area. Our trainer Nicole is very friendly and great to work with. She explains everything efficiently and works with you to get the best results. I have only been doing it a little while and am not very strong yet, but she is very encouraging and pushes me enough to make me do my best.

My review is for Krista’s massage only– LOVE LOVE LOVE her. She is extraordinarily talented. I’ve been seeing her for almost 2 years. She is remarkable.

Racine’s best health club. Has Pilates, Yoga, Boot Camp, Weight Training, Spin (cycling), Swimming, Basketball, and many more classes. All free with basic membership.
All in a fine new facility with attention to detail.
If you can’t get in shape here, you might as well give up.
Love it.
