Reviews of CrossFit MadTown (Gym)

Benjamin Evenson

I dropped in as I was in town on business and Coach Skipp could not have been nicer and more welcoming. There are individuals of all skill levels, and Skipp will go out of his way to make sure that you understand all of the movements of the daily WOD as well as recommend scaling options if needed. I will definitely be frequenting this gym whenever I am in town.

Great Saturday WOD. Perfect place to drop in if you are in town and need a challenge.

Debra Conditt

Awesome Gym! It is like staying fit as though you play sports or when you were in the military. They push you but pay close attention to form. This gym seems to genuinely care about the people that come through. The only con... great gym but needs a receptionist or administrator. You are better off showing up to their complimentary intro class and physically speaking with them.

Dropped in for a WOD while in town for the Games. Great facility. Awesome coaches. Friendly CF community. I highly recommend CF Madtown. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Jordan Hellenbrand

Great Coaches. Nice members. Well planned out class times. A variety of classes and class times that fit everyone’s schedule. Big gym space makes it perfect for anytime of the year.

Want a variety of workouts and the drive to push yourself? GO TO MADTOWN Want to learn from expert coaches? GO TO MADTOWN Interested in crossfit but don't know where to start? GO TO MADTOWN Want a great gym community? GO TO MADTOWN I have going for 2 years and I couldn't ask for a better gym. All the coaches I have had have been amazing. All of them will push you in a positive way. They are also really amazing at adapting if you have an injury or movement you cannot do. The coaches notice when you are not there and really care about each of their gym goers. Very kid friendly! I am super impressed with the amazing level of customer service and care as they are a small business with many responsibilities outside the gym. Even during the crossfit games and competition. season they care about ALL their athletes. :) Best. Gym. Ever.

I cannot (oops.....10 burpees) say enough positive things about this place :) This gym has been an only positive experience for me! The coaches are incredible and they always have my best interest in mind. Between the amazing community and challenging workouts, I will be a member as long as I live in Madison!

CrossFit Madtown is the best. Period. I travel for work so I have been fortunate enough to have visited over 60 CrossFit gyms throughout the country. To this day, there is not one that even comes close to CrossFit Madtown's expert coaching abilities. It doesn't matter if you're a collegiate or professional athlete, or a sedentary elder, they treat you with utmost respect and you can be sure they will work as hard as they can to help you be the best that you can be. On top of that, they are absolutely exceptional with regard to coaching Olympic weightlifting. My fiancé and I came here from another local CrossFit gym and it was the best decision we've ever made for our fitness. Skipp and Keysha are truly amazing, and they've helped us grow tremendously as both weightlifters and CrossFitters. For anyone dropping in from out of town or looking to join a CrossFit gym, this is absolutely the best there is.

Crossfit Madtown has the best trainers in the area. I have been a member since 2006 and have seen incredible results. The community is one of the best and I look forward to going every day.

My wife and I began a new life when we started going to CrossFit Madtown over 5 years ago, though at the time all we knew was that it hurt, a lot. We've gotten healthier, stronger, more confident. We've met so many amazing people, but really what we met was a new family. In the past they have been somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but things have improved tremendously in the last few months!!! Skipp and Keysha are awesome people and amazing trainers which you can see reflected in all the gym members. You simply cannot go wrong with this gym. It was the first in Wisconsin, one of the first couple hundred CrossFit gyms, and is still one of the very best.

Christopher Cain

Superb coaching, both CrossFit and Olympic lifting. Very large box with plenty of equipment. Excellent programming.

Erik Burns

I was looking for more information on a local CF gym and I cam across MadTown. Loved the website and submitted an inquiry...I joined a different box before MadTown was able to get back to me. However, during our communication they were genuine in wanting to help and made me a great offer to get me to come in...It was just a matter of unfortunate timing! I WILL be checking these guys out when my current agreement ends. I am excited...This looks like a great gym with knowledgeable coaches.

Zac Keryluk

The best!

Kevin Dubler

Crossfit Madtown is the BEST! I love being apart of a community/gym that strives to be better every day.

Great Gym and Instructors

Austin Hallanger

Great atmosphere and people. This gym was how I became one of the both fastest and biggest guys on my football team after I trained with them over the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. Any athlete looking to improve their speed, strength, or agility at any level should do themselves a favor and receive training from some of the best coaches in the state.

John Meier

Fantastic supportive atmosphere for all ages and genders. Learn safe fun ways to improve your fitness.

Mark Brunsell

Skipp and his staff are great people to work with. Their facility is big, clean, and the best cross fit gym in the Madison area.

Taylor Wise

Friendly staff! Great box, plenty of platforms for lifting.

Tami Vieth

Emailed with interest & questions- “read our website”, ok I’m interested despite having to research & answer my own questions. Four emails at once- for payment, set profile & thanks we’ll be in contact. No info on the intro class for beginners. No response to my last email. I’m all for small business but this is often why it’s hard to support them.

Rob Greenhalgh

Saw that they were open until 7pm on the Google listing. Stopped in around 2:30 to get info. Closed. If they are even open, not a good first impression. Nothing on the door listing hours or anything.

Brenda Hanson

I have been a member of Crossfit Madtown for over two years and have experienced dramatic strength and physical improvements, which may come as no surprise considering the tenacity of the coaches and their commitment to helping athletes’ reach their aspirations. Every day I am pushed to my limits, and enjoy the challenge along with the sweet gratification when I complete a goal. Crossfit Madtown provides the opportunity to improve strength, happiness, and quality of life, all while having fun!

Tom Edwards

I've been going to madtown crossfit for a little over a year. I like the variety of workouts. Skipp and Keisha have a passion for their business which creates a great atmosphere to work out in.

Clark Vierheller

I've been coming here for over a year (granted, with hit or miss consistency). Top notch programming, coaches, and environment. Overall, a fantastic place to push yourself!

Janelle Zimmerman

Best coaches in the area! I've been a member since they opened their doors and would recommend this gym to anyone no matter what their skill or fitness level is! Love this place and the members we've been so fortunate to have built incredible friendships with!!!

Jenn Rotman

Always heard a lot about Crossfit MadTown. So I emailed them to get more information a week ago. No answer. Then I sent a message on Facebook, it was read the same day. No answer. I also posted on their facebook, and again no answer. I also tried to call them giving them the benefit of the doubt and the voicemail is full so I cannot leave a message. All of this while they were posting as usual on their page. Clearly they do not want anyone else to join. Sadly, they have lost my business and I am going elsewhere in town to workout. 3/6/16 Updated: Since posting this review I have been contacted by one of the owners, Skipp. I will be going to check them out and give them a fair opportunity after his continued efforts to reach out to me.

Madtown hosts a well planned annual crossfit competition. The gym is clean and it is also the original crossfit gym in Madison. Ive not attended a class here so I cannot speak to day to day training however be sure to put their event on your calendar if you are interested in local competition January or February each year.

Dan Kremer

I started crossfit here about 2 years ago. The programming, coaching and community are top notch.

Nadia Khan

I came to Madtown in February 2015 with 2 years of crossfit experience. In the 18 months since I've joined, I have increased my back squat PR by 60lbs, my clean PR by 35 lbs, and my snatch by 12 lbs. I can now perform gymnastics movements such as handstand walking, chest-to-bar pull ups, handstand push-ups, and toes-to-bar with ease when I once use to struggle. Becoming apart of the Madtown weightlifting community, I have received the opportunity to compete in several weightlifting meets- an experience few crossfit gyms in the area are able to offer training for or exposure to. Crossfit Madtown is a great place for both beginner and experienced crossfitters/weightlifters to challenge and develop their athleticism. The programming is exceptional, and Skipp and Keysha's years of experience in athletic training benefit everyone of all age levels, skills and backgrounds. I highly recommend anyone moving or visiting the area to check out Madtown over anywhere else!
