I have witnessed The Shape Up Shoppe help women accomplish goals of all kinds. Women supporting women is alive and well in this all women’s gym!! The owner’s knowledge and passion for health, women’s fitness, and overall women’s wellness shows in the results! She (yes women owned) has been a cornerstone of Bay View for going on 44 years!! Classes are fun and effective and prices have remained modest. I’m so happy The Shape Up Shoppe survived the pandemic, I don’t know where we would be without it!!

As an active member since 2021, I can happily say attending classes at the Shape Up Shoppe continues to be the highlight of my week. The individual attention and care you receive here is unmatched. Owner, and fitness director, Julie, along with all the amazing instructors provide excellent knowledge and motivation to guide you along your fitness journey to reach your personal goals. When you become a member at the Shape Up Shoppe, you not only become part of a community of amazing women at all stages of life from diverse backgrounds, but you also become stronger and receive innovative ways to improve your individual health and overall wellness. Whether you feel most comfortable individually or in a group setting, at any level of fitness, the Shape Up Shoppe has space for you!

I’m a member since 2021 and I love it. At the Shape up Shoppe you are much more than just a member; the instructors push you to reach your highest potential. And the gym is very welcoming. I get an incredible HIIT workout during Box Bag class. The weekly cardio courses contain fun songs and tough movements. I easily burn hundreds of calories per class. I really enjoy how the cardio classes are designed to isolate all different muscle groups and improvements are quickly noticeable. They also offer strength classes that focus on gaining muscle mass. This gym is motivational and results driven. The owners have created an atmosphere here that is pivotal to the heart of Bay View since 1984. Julie goes above and beyond to show her gratitude to each member by providing a personalized experience and continued encouragement. If you’re ready to become your best version, I highly recommend you connect with Julie to setup a tour.

Terribly ran, and terrible attitudes. Would not recommend.

The woman who owns this business is rude and mean. She has huge Karen energy and I feel so unwelcome in bay view due to her and the people like her who gentrified the area many years ago and now act like it is theirs and theirs alone. I hope she gets therapy and finds the lord.

This had to have been the most upsetting place I have ever been to. The owner is rude, all we wanted to do was get more information about membership and my friend and I felt like we were looked down on. It's a shame because we looked forward to this place since we just moved closer to the neighborhood. Maybe that day just wasn't a good day for them. God Bless.

Best gym ever for women!!! I have never been motivated and excited for fitness until I became a member at the Shape Up Shoppe. I love the community here. Classes are amazing and I have had the best results! Personal training also available which is great since I wanted to learn weightlifting.

I love Shape Up Shoppe! I’ve been a member for over 30 years; they have kept me in shape and help me to lead a healthy life!Julie stresses injury prevention and has fun routines! I think they are the most effective workouts in Wisconsin! Also, the ladies are very welcoming and I’ve met lots of great friends at Shape Up Shoppe! Here’s a couple videos of me from the 80’s❤️

It is easy to pass when you are walking along KK, but inside, is a community of women who love to move! I attended about 5 classes, and it's one of the best value gems in the area if you are looking for cardio classes that are similar to Zumba but with less dancing and more about aerobic movement. The owner, Julie, is responsive and kind, and the other women who also teach the classes welcome new people! You can really tell that some of the members have been going here for years and years based on how people interact with each other, and it's clear to me that there is a vibrant community at Shape Up Shoppe.I think the part that kept me not going is not the content of the classes, but the logistical aspects - for myself personally, I need some level of accountability and appreciate a sign-up system that commits me to go. My schedule changes with work/school, so their class time offerings just ended up being not compatible with my own personal schedule, and I wish they offered a mid-day class or things on Sunday. On the website, there is just the member page that shows what time classes are. It's kind of hard to look through, and with many gyms using some kind of online platform like Mind-Body to more easily view a changing weekly schedule and to sign-up, that is one aspect that I have preferred other gyms over this one.If you are looking for a gym in Bay View that has a community and especially if you're looking for cardio-focused exercise classes, I would definitely recommend giving Shape Up Shoppe a try! While it was not the best fit for me, their community certainly illustrates how their model of functioning has worked for over 40 years.

HANDS DOWN the best gym experience I’ve ever had. I always thought I wanted to be a nameless face in a fitness club, but the Shoppe has shown me otherwise. I would go to other gyms and have no idea what to do or how to build a workout, and nobody (including myself) cared whether I was there or not. 100% not the case at Shape Up Shoppe. The owner, Julie, reaches out every other week to check on me and asks if I can make a class (particularly if I’ve missed some I’ve noticed hah). She’s super energetic and so fun to be around. Janay is a fantastic instructor who has pulled me aside to give me a heads up about a possible temporary schedule change to the classes I attend. Other instructors that were there just to participate in the classes have taken the time to introduce themselves afterward and tell me that I’m doing great. I never realized how big of an impact this has. I usually waste money on memberships, but this is a place I don’t dread going to. Absolutely LOVE it here!!

The people at this shop have changed my life. When I first started I had constant pain in my hips and sometimes knees. I was extremely overweight, in my late 60s, and had not exercised for about 20 years. In 6 months, I have NO pain in my joints, my balance and muscle strength have improved a lot, and I have lost a lot of weight. I was too heavy to start with aerobics, so I have been using the gym weights under the instruction of Dennis and Julie. You could not do better than the Shape Up Shoppe in Bay View. I mean it. I feel great!
