I wish they had more than 2 smith machines though as they are very popular machines and I typically always have to wait. Would be nice if they posted hours/closings for holidays on the website and Facebook page so you can plan accordingly for that. Frustrating that some members slam weights and do not re-rack weights as it is posted on signs all over the gym. Exercise classes are great and so if the rooftop area!

They have some updates, however, their light workout…read moremachines are still the same that they've had since they opened I don't know how many years ago. The heavyweight lifters corner still smells like the worst smell in the world you can think of. I see they have a private area for women so they don't have to endure sexism. The one week that I was in there, I had a guy look at me really weird and felt uncomfortable. It's just not the place that it was when it opened. Except for figuring your membership cost out in two minutes to be everything you've gotten in your pocket.

I really, really like the Basecamp workout! I signed up for a 7-day trial, and all of the staff…read morewere so accommodating and easy to work with. Definitely a great start. I honestly did not like the workout my first 1 or 2 times -- I got a bit confused as to where I was going... but by the third visit I totally had it down (it truly is simple once you get a rep or two) and actually started to LOVE the workout. It's a high intensity heart-rate pretty much the whole 35 minutes with some weight work snuck in between minutes on the airdyne bike. It's a killer. In just 7 days I noticed my cardio abilities improving. There is a lot of weight/strength exercises during the workout, but I wouldn't say this is where you'd go to gain power strength and bulk up. More like muscular endurance while gaining some strength. You're done in 35 minutes, and you can choose to stay for 7 minutes ish of ab work and 3 minutes ish of stretching (and then you actually have time to stretch on your own in the studio without being pressured out for the next class... woot!). All of the coaches were great, too and fun to have as a workout guide. They do all kinds of fun recognition for members who hit certain milestones... while that's not totally my thing, it really did bring some comradery to a large group of strangers working out together. It's fun to be excited for somebody else! If I had to find a negative, it is that you absolutely DO NOT have sufficient time to transition from the bike to a weight station in most cases... and you're often running into other people running all over doing the same. I wish there was a more systematic transition... but I learned to get over it. All 7 days that I went during my free trial, not one single staff member tried to sell me on a membership or give some rehearsed pitch. Totally different than any other chain gym I've gone to and it was kind of a relief. I actually had to contact Basecamp to talk membership because after the 7 days, I really was interested (I did not start this trial intending to continue with a membership). This was at the very end of February when the mask mandate was expiring, and I'm just not ready to be in an indoor room with a large group of unmasked and only-maybe-vaccinated people breathing heavily for 45 minutes. If things go well for a few months, I'll totally join. If the masks coming off doesn't bother you... you definitely need to give Basecamp a try!

Joining Farrell's was the BEST decision I made in 2021!! When I joined the things that stuck out to…read moreme from the owners (yes-- BOTH of the owners were there the day I joined the gym and they get to know each member personally) was that they stressed that this gyn was different. And it is. Not only are these workouts some of the most fun and dynamic 45 minute workouts I've ever done, the community at Farrell's shows that this gym is about much kore than just a physical transformation. The instructors, coaches, owners, members, and challengers create the most supportive environment to help each person reach their own level 10 in a positive and safe way. I can't recommend this place enough!! If you're interested in kickboxing or just want an inclusive, non-judgmental, challenging, safe, and positive fitness environment give Farrell's in Madison a try.

They are both circuit training kind of classes, and the class sizes range depending on which class you go to. I appreciated that the instructors helped to correct my form and give pointers so I both maximize my workout and prevent injury. I also liked that the classes I went to all had less than 6 people, which may sound scary at first, but it certainly fosters a sense of community among the attendees to cheer each other on and get through the workout together. Whether you're new to working out or a seasoned veteran, I think there's something for everyone here and it is worth your time to take a class and decide that for yourself, but I know that I'll most certainly be back!

Took the Pole 1 6-week pole/lap dance combo session and I learned a lot! I have a much greater…read moreappreciation for this sport. They have a special of 2 6-week sessions for $140 so it's a pretty good deal. This class definitely helps you be more comfortable in your own skin and become more confident. I could see that in myself and in a lot of the other women in the class. The studio itself is one big room with 8(?) poles evenly spaced from one another. The mirrors are a little wonky so sometimes is hard to see yourself. There are changing rooms before you walk into the big room and a bathroom on the very opposite side of the entrance. No outdoor shoes in side and you can be barefoot or in socks while in class. The 1 hour classes would start with check-in (which sometimes took longer than needed) and about 5-10 minutes of stretching. We would then go over what we learned the week before and learn 2-3 new spins and a sequence of lap/floor/chair moves and then the last 5 min or cleaning your pole and stretching. Our instructor Melissa was great. Really friendly, super knowledgeable about all the moves. 1 hour to practice and then remember was really difficult for me though. I felt like it was not enough time to really perfect the move and grasp the choreography. I'm a perfectionist and wanted to practice it until I got it down. We learned a routine on the last session but I feel like it would be fun to learn a routine at the end of the every class or do like a routine add on with each class so that you could keep re-practice the moves week by week. They do have open pole hour for you to come in and practice but they're right at 5 or 6pm. Right now during Covid-19, they are offering virtual donation-based classes which is great for those lap/chair moves! I'm excited to start Pole 2 and keep honing in my skills!

For that reason and other factors, I canceled my membership, but I was charged for months afterwards. To keep this short, when I called to ask for a refund, the staff were friendly, but it ultimately is up to the manager, who is currently Josh, to issue a refund. Josh is very hard to reach - he's always "busy" (at least, that's what it feels like he instructs his staff to say). He made several false promises to me about my refund being on its way and when I asked him to send over documentation, he said "You don't believe me?" and he never sent over a single document. In the end, it took me 15 phone calls and 6 months to obtain my refund. His email is gm@crunchmadison.com but I wouldn't expect a response. Your best bet is to ask for him directly when you call or to physically stop in the gym and wait for him to come out of his office.
