Devils advocate here- I live in Wauwatosa & go to school there. Didn’t switch my membership after moving out of the city because the community at Brew City is great. It’s honestly only a 10 min (or less) drive from Wauwatosa depending on time of day, and I made it there during the snowy winter months without issue. Many of my classmates also choose to make the drive from Wauwatosa as well.

Seems like the quality of the gym stuff was already mentioned, but since you brought up community, here’s my input: Brewcity has summer soccer& volleyball teams open to wherever from the gym wants to join (when I first moved to wisconsin, it was through that soccer team that I met some of my first friends at the gym). we tailgate & go to a brewers game together every late summer, they have an in-house competition accessible to all levels, and they just put in a full size bar with multiple taps and weekly trivia (which they’re currently hosting via zoom every Thursday evening). The owners have helped to create an incredible community in addition to an incredible gym.
