The equipment is well-cared for, and the members are a diverse lot. We've been there on a Sunday morning (you might hear some AJR playing) and on week nights. (A bit of Disturbed to thrash to, anybody?) The owner lives nearby and is really into his business. The bathrooms are roomy and well equipped with large private showers. What I really like is everybody is totally comfortable with being their and working on their stuff. All body shapes, all abilities. It doesn't matter, you'll get a smile and a nod. We spent a year debating whether to join a fitness center. The local Y has disappointed us many times. While you'll get the basics here (no pool, no basketball courts) it's all most of us need. There are also fitness classes, which I'd like to try out. Gentle stretching sounds right up my alley.

I've been going to HIIT classes at Wisco Barbell Club for about a month now and plan to keep going…read moreback! 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!

Anytime Fitness Monona has a great selection of equipment, all in excellent condition. The gym is…read morewell kept and very clean. There are workout sessions in the morning that you can sign up for. These classes are kept small so they are able to adjust to each members unique fitness level. When you join you are able to get a free fitness consultation that will give you a baseline of your current fitness. This includes a body scan composition. What separates Anytime Fitness from their competition is the combination of being open 24/7 and being to utilize their thousands of locations at no extra cost. I haven't been to any of their other fitness centers yet, but I look forward to using this benefit when I travel.

At first, this Monona location was one of the worst (bad lighting, felt cavernous) ... since the remodel 3 months ago it's one of the nicer locations. I know people find all sorts of reasons to complain about a gym. I'm quite satisfied and thankful.

This place is awesome; they have…read morenearly all of the equipment you could want, including a TON of squat racks and lifting platforms, they have a reasonable drop-in fee, the locker-rooms are clean and spacious, and they even took me on a tour to show me everything.

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.
