I love the training that specifically fits people my age - Fit Over 50. There are also groups called Fit Moms, Sweat Fit, and Killer Kurves. This is the first gym I have ever stuck with on a consistent basis. I highly recommend it, if you are looking for a place to workout.

The same picture was used 2 additional times, again without my knowledge or consent. Both additional times I contacted the owner to have it removed again and received similar demeaning and belittling responses. The advertisements promise a safe and supportive place to workout, but I found his behavior to create the opposite.

I love how this gym is bright, clean, and open compared to other places I've worked out in the past. Group classes keep me motivated and the HIIT class is awesome. Dakota does a great job challenging and encouraging everyone. He gets to know everyone individually and helps modify the exercises if needed. I definitely recommend working with him as a personal trainer or trying out the HIIT class. There are also fun events and challenges they do at the gym and around town, they stay active in the community! Also they have a mini fridge with cold brew and other goodies from Crescendo coffee which I absolutely LOVE. Can't recommend this place enough.

I simply asked if they allowed tours of the gym before purchasing a membership and he immediately called me poor and I'm better off at planet fitness. Genuinely was shocked at this response. He also claimed he's one of the owners there. Honestly just weird behavior and I would not recommend this place to anyone!

If you take strength training seriously, this is the best gym in Madison. They have tons of…read moreequipment. Some of my favorite things they have that you dont see at every gym: weighted sled, bars made specifically for different lifts, micro plates, heavy clamps, the list goes on... Theyre never crowded (at least compared to Gold's Gym in Fitchburg). Ive waited for a bench to open up once and ive shared a deadlift platform a few times but thats it. The atmosphere is great too. They have dank lifting memes all over the place, a life-sized yoda replica, and a john cena cut out. They play loud metal and rap music all day too. The gym is 24 hours. If you come at odd hours, you might get the gym to yourself and have to let yourself in with a key fob. They dont have group fitness or a swimming pool though, so look elsewhere if you need those things. Also, if you get intimated easily by people who are stronger than you, maybe look somewhere else. Despite how strong and experienced most of the clients are, everybody ive met so far has been very friendly and helpful. I find the other lifters to be inspiring instead of intimidating, so i suggest you give Madtown Fitness a try if youre trying to take your strength to the next level.

Visited Madison this weekend to see an old college friend and checked out Madtown Fitness after…read morelooking at a few places in Madison. I don't think I can say enough positive things about this place. I went to their new location on the east side so I am specifically mentioning that gym. Atmosphere- unreal. Perfect warehouse type gym that is extremely motivating for those that take fitness seriously. Staff- Dan, one of the owners, was very helpful and got us set up for the day immediately. He showed us how to use a few of the pieces of equipment as well since there are some machines that I have never seen before. This is a testament to the care that these people take in selecting equipment. Equipment- I have been to dozens of gyms since I travel for work and Madtown had the best selection of strength equipment I have ever seen. If you powerlift, bodybuild, or do any combination of the two this place is perfect. If you want to watch TV and walk on the treadmill, sit in a steam room, or have a pool the this place isn't for you. If I didn't live over an hour away I would have signed a life long contract here. Rates are reasonable and this is the first serious gym I have been to that gives access 24/7 while having 2 locations. Seriously check this place out if you want to make changes to your body.

I've been with Core well over a decade now, 13-14yrs? It's one of the BEST decisions I've ever…read moremade. Aside from the great people I've met & become close friends with, Core has kept me strong & even improved my strength, & I'm no spring chicken! Last summer I broke my ankle in 3 places. I did a good job. I improved at a rate well past my & my doctor's expectations. I sincerely owe that to Core. My physical therapists often commented on my rapid progress. At 70 + I was progressing better than many at 3 decades my junior, according to my PT's. I'm not competing, but I KNOW that without my time at Core, I would have been in for a very, very long recuperation. Eric, my trainer at Core consulted with my PT's & I was back at Core before I knew it. He's helped me through many issues of the "ageing" body.- rotator cuff, the broken ankle, various muscle issues. I'm very active, have horses, I need to stack hay, & I want to keep riding. Core has kept me as strong as I can be, and mobile. That's all I can ask for as I age (gracefully I hope, instead of "Calamity Pat") I have all the clothes & "things" I need - what better way to spend my money on my strength, balance, and mobility? None. That's the answer. Thought I knew a lot about exercise - Pilates, yoga, ran 10 & 5K's, riding etc. I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I'm still learning, thanks to Core. Obviously, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Take their trial offer. For the record I do not own any stock in Core Health & Fitness.

The best individualized workout programs, great atmosphere, & wonderful CORE members. My goal is to stay as strong and mobile for as long as I can, & CORE is making it happen. I did this balance move on a Bosu ball for a challenge at CORE 7 yrs ago (that's not CORE in the background, it's my studio). I'm going to try to do it ONCE more, this year before I turn 71. I'll try to get an updated photo, if I can't do it, I'll retire this photo. Can't rest on my laurels, such as they be. They're stuck with me, I can't imagine not being a member of CORE. Do yourself a favor & try their introductory offer, as I did 10 years ago! Be GOOD to YOURSELF!

If you move, you are forced to give up very specific information that is not part of the terms and conditions. I will request a copy of this deviation with the 12 mth contract because I sent requested info in a generalized manner as specific geographical location is not necessary whatsoever and it went ignored. How will you use the information after people escape the prison? It's weird, very Pharaoh like, and I wouldn't recommend signing a contract with them unless you are confirmed staying in that state and/or city eternally. Stick with the drop in classes, you can leave freely without needing to give personal, specific, geographic location as a transactional exchange.
