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!

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.

These folks are clean. Service Oriented. Eager to serve…read more The class schedule is something of a drawback BUT met my needs. The bootcamp classes could be included but seems like no one does it YET they had free trials this May & June but all in all.... Location = 5 Whirlpool, Sauna, Steam Room = 5 Hours = 4 (sometimes 24 hours would work) Deals = 4 Service = 5 Cleanliness = 10+

I have to say I just went in to the Middleton location to sign up for a monthly membership. The…read moredoor was open and when I walked in the gal behind the counter gave me a "you don't belong here look" and said "Hello" with the tone of a question. I asked if they were open because it felt really weird and uncomfortable and she said I'm just about to close up. It really isn't warm and welcoming from my first impression. I'll maybe get a pass instead to make sure it's not like what I just experienced.

I've been practicing for over a decade but took 2 years off due to car accidents and previous…read morestudio shut down in COVID. New in Madison area and wanted to find a good studio to jumpstart. I've always preferred hot classes, Bikram style, like 105'F with 50%+ humidity. I'd love a good sweat and I found easier to relax and stretch in the heated environment. Learned there are 4 locations and Middleton was the one I attended. Initial impression was cute place with vibrant color. They offer showers and a waiting area to read/decompress with hot tea and filtered water. I signed up online and showed up for my 1st hot class. Parking wasn't hard and it was free. Walked upstairs and checked in at the counter. I saw members can get free towels; otherwise, it's $1 or $2 depending on the size. There were about 20 students in the class and I ended up towards the opposite side of the entrance which it isn't the best spot. I had a hard time hearing the instructor (no mic and loud music). Given it's my first class, I thought the instructor should ask who's there for the 1st time and if there were any injuries. No one asked so I just have to modify as needed due to my herniated spine. Given this is my 1st class in almost 2 years, I took it slowly and participated as much as I could which was still over 80% of the class time. I didn't sweat at all. The room was warm but definitely not hot or humid. My mat towel was dry which was different from all of my previous practices. I later found out the temperature was set to around 90'F and no one knows if a humidity level was turned on. I'm glad that I went as it was a good way to try out but I'll go back again to try a couple more classes before deciding if I want to be a member.

I initially wrote a review Fall 2011 and it was recently removed because I didn't come back to…read moredirectly update with "my first hand experience." Fair enough and my apologies for overlooking that by including my update in the Fit Fresh review. Hybrid shows real results via several ads that run in the WSJ. I was willing to pay the cost to join for those results in the time frame I had to complete. The bonus: I had a friend complete the program and although he's male (and men lose weight faster) I saw the same results in him and took his feedback to heart. So I was really excited to start the meal plan first and complete my bootcamp contract out then go over to Hybrid. My personal experience: The place appears to be clean and well kept. Hybrid Fitness apparently excutes the BCOR bootcamp committment in this area until someone else is able to handle the downtown/east/suburbian areas. I signed up with Bcor anticipating the start of my experience at the end of July 2012. Because of my previous experience and most recent email contact I decided this may not be smart to attend. I got unnerved after receiving a Yelp email that the Fit Fresh review received a response, but it was removed (no real issue there) + I received a harrasing message referring to my review via my inbox. So combine that inbox message with the removed message - call me smart to be nervous and suscipicous. Now, I'm over my fears of the Yelp stalker or at least the fears don't outweigh my hope in meeting my new deadline before having to report back to the unit. To that end, I'll report back in 90days how the workouts go.

Wife and I were in town for the CrossFit Games in Madison. We wanted a gym that, if we could…read moreactually find it, would be a "hybrid" between CrossFit and a regular gym. Holy crap we found it - literally - with Hybrid Athletic Club! Want to do CrossFit stuff with turf, sleds to push/pull, ropes (both hanging and battle), dead balls, wallballs, a rig, GHDs, rowers, you name it? Got it. Want to do standard bodybuilding with dumbbells, barbells, basic selectorized machines or regular cardio on ellipticals or treadmills or step mills or an air bike or ....? Got it! The two women who own it are super nice and it's obvious they are REALLY trying to do well by their members. In the mind blown category, as if what I already said isn't enough, one of the owners, who is OBVIOUSLY a MUCH better person than me, remembered my name from the previous day. Huh? Yep. She came over to me as I was foam rolling and said "Hi David" - think about that, I'm in town for three days, I'll never have a full on membership there due to where I live, and she remembered my name. Hell, I go to the LA Fitness 3x/week and I can't even get the counter person to say high when they are HOLDING the fob scanner 18 inches away from me! It gets even better. They are a 24/7 facility with fob access. So we got a fob, paid the very reasonable fee for our three days of use and we were all set - we could come and go as we pleased, any day or time we wanted. That's almost weird it's so good - since it wasn't a globo Anytime Fitness and the like. The 2nd day I saw something I've NEVER seen in my 33 years as a gym rat and probably NEVER will again. There was a CrossFit class going on AND there was figure/bodybuilding/physique posing clinic going on in other areas of the gym. Think about THAT - CrossFit and physique co-existing in the same building? Yep - and since I love both it was pretty freakin cool to see. We will definitely be back to this facility when we return next year - this is OUR gym while we're in town now. We just wish there was such a place in Springfield. If I had more than two thumbs I'd give it more than two thumbs up - same goes for the five stars.

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!
