I've been to a lot of gyms (honest, about 6 other places) and this is my favorite by far. Mike is…read moremethodical in his practice and while it is CrossFit, it's not at all competitive in nature. I walked into Great State with three years of PT under my belt trying to rehab a herniated disc, with leg weakness, numbness, and constant pain. Mike was so careful with me, analyzing my every move and teaching me mobility alongside the strength, I'm fully out of pain today and can feel my leg. This is a space to empower one another, build confidence and friendships, recover safely from an injury, and set your positive intentions for the day.

They were handing out free t-shirts, stickers, have a Thera-Gun to play with...AND...they had a stand outside providing free ice coffee. Great scaling options, too. I was hesitant to go because I hurt my back last week (got crushed under a barbell and couldn't ditch) and I didn't want to look weak (Ego is dumb, I know), but they made me feel right at home and gave me great ideas to incorporate into my WoD. I finished feeling like I did "work". These cats know how to get it done. Had a class of around 40 people, and the workout was awesome. Talk about "group management". Great affiliate. Awesome sauce.

The gym is gorgeous and Rob is the perfect workout cheerleader. I was never able to stick to an…read moreexercise routine at a gym before because I get easily bored, but Rob keeps my workout varied and fun. You get personalized attention and you have the entire gym to yourself during each workout session. I have a very demanding work schedule too, but Rob always works with me to make sure I get the exercise I need to stay healthy and reduce stress. I should also say that I've always struggled with high cholesterol and my levels went down 15% after 6 months of working out at Body Mechanix. Highly recommend it!

Some days are harder than others but at the end of each class, I am thankful I went! It has helped increase my physical strength, as that was my goal, but mentally, I am in a much better head space and I look forward to these workouts as it is a great way to start the day! I can't recommend it enough! All you have to do is show up and listen to the directions. If you can't remember so well, just look to the person to your right or left, chances are they know what is going on. Great value for the money and a great way to meet other people and get in a work out each day!

I love that it's a place that women of all abilities can go and achieve more than they thought possible!!! Keep it up burn trainers!! Men are welcome too at a limited number of daily camps. If you are new to going to a gym, feeling nervous or shy, or just don't know where to start please come join the fun at burn! We are a fun, friendly, welcoming crowd. Or, if you are an experienced "gym rat" this may offer just what you are looking for to mix it up! Also, you can go to any burn gym nationwide. Overall awesome community of fun people. The burn app answers all questions of if it's a co-Ed camp time and if childcare is available for a particular camp. It also informs you of which trainer will be leading a specific camp and what style of workout will be happening on a particular day. A number of membership options are available including punch-card option, 12-18+ month memberships, and drop-in options. They also offer a 14 day trial as well.

Fast forward one year since I started at Orange Shoe, I have really been enjoying my personal…read moretraining sessions at Orange Shoe and working with the trainers towards my fitness goals. The foot injury I came in with and had discussed with the trainers during my initial assessment has recovered very well. They designed a stretching program for me that helped tremendously. I can do cardio and high impact exercises again with no issues. Huge progress as I honestly thought my foot would never be the same again. Also, regarding my fitness goals, my goal was to build muscle and training sessions have been a nice mix of progressive strength training and conditioning. Workouts are always challenging, but doable, and leave you feeling like you exercised every single muscle group in your body. I now have muscle tone that was not there a year ago when I started. I feel stronger and can lift and squat weight that I never thought I would be able to. All the trainers are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, correct your form, and are very supportive, giving you the extra push you need whenever you feel you cannot possibly do another repetition or set. Also, I never cease to be amazed by Jake and his ability to detect muscle imbalances that may be causing difficulty with a certain exercise. If there is a certain exercise you cannot do, they will modify the exercise, and work to build up the weak muscles so you can eventually do the advanced version of the exercise with proper form. Orange Shoe is well worth the investment if you can manage it. I consider it an investment in my long-term health. I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for some help with their health and fitness goals, whatever those may be, whether it's building muscle, losing weight, running a marathon, etc. They will design a program tailored to you and set achievable goals that will help keep you motivated.

The review stating they don't care about their clients is literally lies, they are the most invested in their clients out of any business I've ever seen. A lot of us small business owners have not known how to approach the covid situation. They have spent more time consulting and planning a personalized diet and exercise program than anyone else in any business I've ever been to.

If you take strength training seriously, this is the best gym in Madison. They have tons of…read moreequipment. Some of my favorite things they have that you dont see at every gym: weighted sled, bars made specifically for different lifts, micro plates, heavy clamps, the list goes on... Theyre never crowded (at least compared to Gold's Gym in Fitchburg). Ive waited for a bench to open up once and ive shared a deadlift platform a few times but thats it. The atmosphere is great too. They have dank lifting memes all over the place, a life-sized yoda replica, and a john cena cut out. They play loud metal and rap music all day too. The gym is 24 hours. If you come at odd hours, you might get the gym to yourself and have to let yourself in with a key fob. They dont have group fitness or a swimming pool though, so look elsewhere if you need those things. Also, if you get intimated easily by people who are stronger than you, maybe look somewhere else. Despite how strong and experienced most of the clients are, everybody ive met so far has been very friendly and helpful. I find the other lifters to be inspiring instead of intimidating, so i suggest you give Madtown Fitness a try if youre trying to take your strength to the next level.

Visited Madison this weekend to see an old college friend and checked out Madtown Fitness after…read morelooking at a few places in Madison. I don't think I can say enough positive things about this place. I went to their new location on the east side so I am specifically mentioning that gym. Atmosphere- unreal. Perfect warehouse type gym that is extremely motivating for those that take fitness seriously. Staff- Dan, one of the owners, was very helpful and got us set up for the day immediately. He showed us how to use a few of the pieces of equipment as well since there are some machines that I have never seen before. This is a testament to the care that these people take in selecting equipment. Equipment- I have been to dozens of gyms since I travel for work and Madtown had the best selection of strength equipment I have ever seen. If you powerlift, bodybuild, or do any combination of the two this place is perfect. If you want to watch TV and walk on the treadmill, sit in a steam room, or have a pool the this place isn't for you. If I didn't live over an hour away I would have signed a life long contract here. Rates are reasonable and this is the first serious gym I have been to that gives access 24/7 while having 2 locations. Seriously check this place out if you want to make changes to your body.
