Hey folks! The lost & found is outa control! Not really, but we’re ready for you to come pick up your belongings and start fresh with a new system. We will be donating all remaining items at the end of September, so you’ve got a month to get your stuff. After that we will be rotating each month between two lost & found bins, and each bin will be donated after two months, which will give you plenty of time to accidentally leave something behind, realize you lost it, retrace your steps, and find it safe and sound with us. When you come to pick something up and you don’t see it in the active bin, make sure to tell us what you’re looking for; it’s probably in Bin #2

REMEMBER: The current bin will be donated at the end of September! Come grab your ‘ish please and thank you 😊

Sincerely,
Your Friendly Turners Gym Staff

Since we’re introducing (and reintroducing) everyone at the gym we thought it’d be a good idea to say hello to our manager and fearless leader, Gretchen!

Gretchen has worked at Turners Gym for four years, the first two at the front desk and the last two as Climbing Program Coordinator. She started climbing five years ago at Turners through the UWM rock climbing class, and needless-to-say, fell in love with the sport. So after graduating from UWM, she went straight to the gym and joined the team. Gretchen has been route setting for three years and as part of her Coordinator role, runs the gym’s route setting program (and also lends those skills to Adventure Rock), so if you’ve ever wondered who’s behind those fabulous brain-puzzling routes at Turners, now you know! While Gretchen mostly climbs indoors because of her work at the gym, she loves to take the staff out on trips, and this summer, went on her first climbing trip to the world-renowned Red River Gorge, aka the Red! 💪🧗‍♀️

Fun facts about Gretchen: she lives on (good!) coffee, is an avid New York Times games player, AND, in her spare time, is a competitive pool player and travels around the state every week for tournaments. Most recently, she won first place in the women’s master 10-ball at this year’s state championship! 🏆🎱🥇

Say hello to Gretchen when you see her in the gym! She loves to share her climbing knowledge so don’t hesitate to pick her brain 🧠 ⛏️😃🤙

✨Meet the Staff Series✨

Meet Hera! Hera has been a Turners Gym staff member since late 2025 but her love of climbing goes back to childhood when she discovered her elementary school had a small bouldering wall. While there wasn’t a team, Hera practiced her growing skills on that wall whenever she could. She took a break from climbing through college, but picked it up again more seriously about 3 years ago, when she started climbing at Turners. Last November, when she came out as trans, she faced a lot of discrimination and difficulty in her previous career. Because of it, she left her job and joined the team at Turners, where she has found a home of welcoming and lovely people.

A fun fact about Hera: she rides her bike between 10-50 miles a day (whoa!), exploring Milwaukee and bike trails across the county.

Turners Gym has introduced Hera to trad climbing, ice climbing, dry tooling, and so much more and she loves sharing her climbing knowledge with gym patrons.

Come on in and say hello to Hera and the rest of our amazing staff members!

The Milwaukee Turners are preparing to make time-sensitive masonry repairs to the facade of our historic building and the gym will be OPEN regular hours during this work. Repairs are expected to start this week and last 2-3 weeks, and there will be safety scaffolding above the gym door for the duration. We love our building and are very excited it’s getting the much-needed love it deserves!

Because of the urgent costs to address these repairs, the Milwaukee Turners have launched a fundraiser and we need your help! Our goal is $70,000 and your support will go directly to the repairs for historic Turner Hall. You can donate at http://bit.ly/iloveturnerhall.

We look forward to many more years in our beloved building and we can’t wait to share it with you!
