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.

Just moved to the area and was recommended this Old School gym to try out. I went to do the free…read moreweek trial pass and it was easy and simple process. The weights on the bottom near the boxing ring are mainly free weights,pulley systems, and some machines. All the equipment are pretty close to each other but I didn't mind it. When you first walk-in there are more open racks and a small field to do tire flips or walking lunges etc. the top half is mainly machines and cardio equipment. I was able to use the treadmill and watch some boxing matches which was pretty cool! The men's bathroom/locker room was pretty standard and clean. I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too crowded. I was able to use any machine that I wanted to without waiting. Overall a really cool experience and well taken care of gym.

I almost hate to review, because I don't want the secret out. I only go to the Fitchburg facility…read more I was a member of EastY for decades, but this is so much better. The only downside for me is the commute to Fitchburg. As a swimmer, the pools were the selling point. Not huge, but they are all salt-water. Indoor 4 lane, indoor warm-water pool and outdoor 3 lane with adjacent shallow area means lots of options and a good way to direct people toward type of activity. It's not a facility that is geared toward kid memberships or programs, which is nice if you want people and facilities focused on fitness. I feel like there are a number of triathletes working out here. They do have a Masters Swim Club as well, which I might try. During COVID, they closed and cleaned every day for an hour, and I've seen that they've been maintaining the twice-daily cleaning schedule without closing (2:30pm and 8:30pm). I feel like the surfaces stay pretty clean, and there isn't excessive debris in the pool. Downside is that they aren't always the best communicators about how they are changing things up--more than once I've headed to the pool to discover the lanes are being used for a private lesson or a group class (like a Sunday night by the pool yoga). The upside to that is that they're working on finding ways to encourage fitness and interest, so kudos there.

There are so many great things to say about the new West Wash location!…read more 1) The size is perfect- not so huge that it's a daunting task to reach the water fountain, and now so small that you're bumping into people trying to get to the treadmill. 2) They've got all the equipment you could need, and all the equipment is in great condition ( minus the one treadmill that makes a weird noise when you run at high speeds, but I think they're fixing that, lol) 3) The staff are great. The faces of a business can often make or break it for me. At Cap Fitness, the staff are always smiling and happy to help. Long chats about vegetables with Francie are the highlight of my workout whenever she's working :) 4) their smoothies are to die for. they've got fresh ingredients, and aren't sticklers about crazy ridiculous upcharges when it comes to substitutions and additions. So awesome to have the option to have a quick, refreshing refueling smoothie after a work out. The only downside is that you lose wifi when you're by the water fountain.

Xpress P Club offers good essential equipment for those who are unable to go to the main locations…read more There are 2 smith machines, 3 benches for dumbbell press etc, a cybex cable machine, a lot of accessory machines, 8 treadmills, 8 ellipticals, and 2 stair master machines. It's generally not crowded so you're able to find the equipment you want to use for your workout without waiting. The staff are super friendly and overall it's a great atmosphere for a quick session. Only critique is I wish there was a bench press/stand alone barbell that wasn't a part of the smith machine.

My very first impression was that there was no parking lot or street parking but once I entered I…read morefound that club members get access to the building parking garage. This place was well lit and clean. They seem to place high importance in keeping their equipment wiped down as each machine had its own bottle of cleaner. I'm guessing they read the past reviews and stepped up their game. There were ample lockers, and bathrooms. The entrance was a tad difficult to spot as the address is Segoe Street but the entrance was a bit up on Frey. This location is much nicer than either of the larger east, west, or Fitchburg gyms, with up to date equipment. I'm a third shifter, so I was there from 3-4:30am.

The rates are amazing, you can go whenever you want, the equipment and facilities aren't outdated like a lot of places but the best part is that there is space!

They have about 6 squat racks and extra barbells if you don't need a rack. They also have loads of free weights and treadmills/ellipticals - and it is always clean! The only negative comment I have is that it can get SUPER busy because it is on campus and the staff seems to get a bit flustered and a little irritated if you try to grab a mat, jump rope, etc. during a group session. I recommend avoiding the lunch hour and between 430-6pm. The staff is friendly but aren't in your face about your form or getting you to sign up for personal training. They respect your space but are eager to help if you ask! :)
