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.

Bathrooms/showers are usually well kept, lockers are large, and the classes are fun. My only complaint is that the last time I went to use the pool, the room smelled strongly of urine. It was not a pleasant area to be in. I don't know if this is normal for this location as I am still new- but I just could not get over that smell.

I love the variety of workout classes here too. Also nice that they have a women's only area upstairs! Only thing though is that when I signed up I was told that I could bring the same person up to 8 times in one year. However, when I brought the same guest in a second time they said that wasn't allowed for a free pass and I was very upset about this misinformation. I brought it up to management and I do not believe anything was ever done about it. Furthermore, an out of town guest always has to pay for a guest pass which is another thing I was not told about when I signed up.

Visited Capital Fitness as a drop-in while in Madison for work. 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. I'll definitely consider dropping in again the next time I'm in Madison!

It is such a pleasure to sit and write this Yelp review for Annie of Forest Coaching and Studios…read more I'm in my later years, after a long and meaningful journey on various fronts of body, mind and spirit. I've been working with Annie for several months now. Her expert guidance and nuanced ability to meet me where I'm at has been simply phenomenal. I came to Annie wanting to refine my overall fitness routine and to get stronger. Step-by-step, I am learning so much more than I anticipated, about my body, its intricacies, and further deepening an integration of my body with other aspect of myself. Wherever you might be, I am confident Annie could meet you as she has me. I will be working with Annie for some time to come. I look forward to seeing what all might be possible!

The biggest benefit I have gotten from coaching with Annie is a kind, safe, clean environment to heal when I've needed it, and a great workout when I was ready for it. I would recommend Annie because she and her coaches really are flexible and caring. Their prices fit in line with any budget and I know I'm getting the best care.... so its worth it!

Ratings are subjective, I know. I thought of a 4 star, and then gave it 5 because of how it makes…read moreme feel to be there. This place is not fancy. 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 have tried five or six different classes, preferring the mid-day time slots. The trainers check in throughout the workouts to adjust for any personal needs or tweaks for which need to be protected. I really like the convenient app for booking or changing my sessions. I chose this gym for all of the above reasons as well as it being just three blocks from my home. I never need to drive. Also, Orange Shoe accepts my health insurance's perk, covering up to eight of my workouts per month. Emails are answered swiftly, if I need to get in touch. the equipment is clean and in good shape. All in all a workout at Orange Shoe on Main ST. is a positive and personal experience.

I have tried other gyms that offer personal training, but have found the programs to either lack focus and flexibility or to be excessive and intimidating. The workouts at Orange Shoe are challenging but definitely doable - I have been going 3 times/week for more than 2 years, still love it, and still seeing amazing results. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable - anything but intimidating. I am not a super-athlete type by any stretch, but with the help of the trainers have accomplished far more than I thought I could - actually have my sites set on running a marathon. The facility is clean and well kept - equipment in good condition. all in all a great gym - highly recommend!
