Although I have two different gym memberships, it never covers all of the places I end up. For this reason, I could tell stories of some of the worst places I have stumbled upon, but I will sum it up with there has been a time or two I have walked out of places thinking I may need to go and get a tetanus shot or should have worn a CDC suit. I visit Jackson at least once or twice a year and have tried various gyms, but they have all fallen short of meeting the needs of my routine and expectations compared to what they charge a visit to workout. To paraphrase, there are places I have walked out of and my hands were black from filth! Driving, I saw Starke off the freeway and stopped in to see what their equipment setup and fees were for someone from out of town. For only being 8 months old, it is filled with all new equipment, but you could see that the management took ownership in keeping it organized, clean and friendly. I really appreciated that they worked out a rate for me based on the fact that I am from out of town and were welcoming along the way. The equipment and facilities are great! There is a lot of attention to detail and great separation of space depending up what you want to focus on in your routine. The men's locker room was clean and professionally appointed. They have a kids area and plenty of parking. It is great to know that I have a place like this to come back to when I am in town.

Great location with ample parking (in shopping center)…read more I love the HIIT/circuit training concept. The instructor makes modifications, as needed, for people with joint issues or injuries. I really like the fact that the heart rate is monitored constantly, throughout the workout. THAT is where you find true calories burned. You are working for yourself, not comparing to others during the workout. This was my first visit, so I was loaned a MioHR pod/wrist strap. Not sure if it's something you have to purchase with a membership or not. Was informed that once you purchase a package/memberahip, the package can be used anywhere there is an Orangetheory Fitness (you just have to book online).

I've been going to OTF Madison for two years now and it has become a second home. The trainers…read more(Karen, Jill, Colleen, and more) are as skilled as they are caring. They constantly are coming up with fun themes and are open to feedback and playlist suggestions. They take time for each person at their level. They've helped me become as fit as I was back in college 30 years ago and I couldn't have done it without them. OrangeTheory keeps you inspired and injury-free, the two core risks I've seen with other programs. A separate comment- there is a review with one star from a year ago by Renea about a bad experience at the front desk with someone called Lisa. Not only have I never had an experience like that in 300 classes over two years, but I don't even know who Lisa is/was. The core four at the front are Blakeley, Kia, Brittany, and Benton. They are professional, experienced, and attentive. From new to seasoned, they treat everyone like family. In short, I love OTF Madison and encourage anyone at any level of fitness to try. Btw, the first class you may be sore for a few days and wonder what you were thinking. Give it six classes and most are on track to a new level of wellness. Good luck!

From the owner: CrossFit is the fastest growing and most effective fitness program out there. It is a GPP (general…read morephysical preparedness) program that can be used by a variety of people from the specialized athlete to elderly and de-conditioned people. The three main modalities most commonly found in CrossFit are metabolic conditioning (like running and rowing), gymnastics movements (like push-ups, pull-ups and muscle-ups), and weightlifting (like the clean and jerk, dead lift and the overhead squat). As a CrossFit affiliate, we are part of a community geared toward helping people become the fittest version of themselves. We offer group fitness classes, wherein each workout can be scaled or modified for the individual, depending on their fitness experience and capacity. Our arsenal of equipment includes pull up bars, gymnastics rings, kettle bells, plyo boxes, barbells and a host of other tools. We are serious about building a good foundational base on which to add strength, power and intensity. Whether you have always been athletic, or you have never been inside a gym of any kind, CrossFit can improve your quality of life. Our specialty in not specializing! The WOD (Workout of the Day) is different each day, which keeps the programming interesting and motivating. The training environment is encouraging and positive, which creates a great community of friends and a network of support both inside as well as outside of the gym.
