Madtown Fitness is by far the best gym I've been to. As a high-level powerlifter, I need high quality equipment for my training, however; many gyms have 8-foot squat bars and enough plates to suit my needs. What makes Madtown Fitness different is the environment. It is one that is simply unmatched at any other gym that I've been to. The willingness to help, the top-ranked lifters that frequent the gym, and the top high quality equipment combine to make an ideal training session. At commercial gyms, you're treated as a check every month. At Madtown Fitness, you're a part of the team. How many other gyms can say that they've hosted the Lilliebridge family, Pete Rubish, and John Haack regularly? Madtown Fitness is simply the only place to train if you want to win competitions, get in shape, or even if you just want to learn more about training and nutrition. There is simply no comparison. read more

If you are looking for a gym or are tired of your current gym and want to work out somewhere that has the machines that are going to make a real impact, good loud music (they blast everything from Pantera to Eminem) and finally, the multi skilled and experienced trainers then Madtown Fitness is where you should be! This is a no joke gym with a kickass environment, not for the weak, and if you are weak, you won't be for long if you work out at this gym, holy cow! I've worked out at a lot of different gyms and I have to say, this one is by far my favorite! Open 24 hours, cool people, cool trainers, cool atmosphere, good music, this gym is where you are going to reach those goals and transformations. Highly recommend! read more

This is a great gym if you're serious about getting stronger and increasing your physical performance. Everyone in the gym is big and strong and in such an environment, you work harder and you take what you do seriously. The equipment has that old school feel to it, there's an abundance of squat racks and platforms for deadlifts. The dumbbells range from 1lb (my favorite set) all the way to 180lbs, maybe even heavier. The best part is that it's open 24 hours a day. Feel like working out at 2am on a Tuesday? Go right ahead. The owners are chill and fantastic, really good customer service and super helpful. I would give it 7 stars if I could but 5 will do. read more

Awesome environment if you're interested in getting stronger. Complete opposite of most commercial gym environments, as literally everyone I've interacted with here since August are just good people to be around. All kinds of training can be done here as well. Mainly powerlifting with deadlift platforms, 10 squat racks about and a monolift, competition benches, astroturf for athletic training... and damn near every piece of machinery you could need I think. Also the East side location has even more equipment but I like the layout of this one more. read more

At first glance, Madtown can look intimidating... but trust me, you will never find another gym with more motivating and wonderful people that are willing to help you in any way you need. No one judges you, bothers you or makes you feel like you shouldn't be there. I am by no means a body builder or strength athlete, yet this gym is still the perfect place for me. I have everything I need including treadmills and ellipticals... that are always free! No more fighting for a treadmill. Definitely worth your time to go check out. read more

Amazing equipment, people, and atmosphere. A great place to train for a powerlifting, bodybuilder, Olympic lifter, crossfitter, any type of athletic cross training, or just looking to get in shape. A lot of members know what they are doing and are very willing to help teach others. It's one of those gyms where within the first week you will have made friends with multiple people. If you are looking for a good gym where you can reach any of your fitness goals, Madtown is what you're looking for. read more

Excellent equipment, phenomenal community. Gym facilities include cardio equipment, a *vast* array of implements for all lifting experience levels and disciplines. Crazy wide selection of machines, bars, racks--even strongman implements! Clean, well-maintained locker rooms, restrooms, and showers. The owner has been on-site almost every time I've been there, either lifting with members or taking care of the place. Easily the best gym I've ever been to. read more

This gym has everything - great equipment and even better people. If you're someone who wants to get stronger, go to Madtown. As a woman in a strength sport, it is wonderfully refreshing to be in such a supportive yet positively challenging environment. It is well run and clean with everything you could want at a gyml. Dan does a wonderful job and it is always such a pleasure to see his family in there too! read more

Just an Update. This gym keeps getting better and better. Now they have an Eastside Location at 2418 Pennsylvania Ave. The equipment there top of the line and the Trainers are amazing! Open 24 hours just like the Southside Madtown Fitness (802 Stewart St). Price wise I have check out a number of gyms in the area and found it to be a bit cheaper than gym's without half the equipment and Atmosphere. read more

Best gym around by a mile. Great environment with more resources than you can imagine. Specialty bars, strongman tools, machines, even a turf area for heavy carries and sled pulls. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that can accommodate a wide range of goals from weight loss-general fitness to powerlifting-olympic lifting. You will not be disappointed read more

Here's a little poem to profess my love for this gym: Madtown Fitness is the coolest gym, It's a place to have fun and train to win. We chat it up or put on 'phones, We don't care, just lift heavy, homes. If you like strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, too, You'll love Madtown Fitness, it'll be great for YOU! read more
