Nikole and Dirk are fantastic people and coaches. They made me feel very welcomed at Crossfit Recursive and strive to create a community of supportive members as well. They generate a space where you can feel comfortable asking questions about workouts/movements and asking for help. Whenever I have a small injury from rugby that could turn into a larger one, they helped me scale and alter workouts to stay healthy and be able to keep going. I have seen a great increase in my strength and fitness since starting Crossfit, which translates well into rugby. Nikole and Dirk are constantly striving to improve an already fantastic place and I’m very impressed with their organization and commitment to everyone’s fitness. I’m only leaving Recursive because I’m moving but I highly encourage anyone to check them out! They really are fantastic people and coaches!!!

I've been a member at Recursive for about 2 months now. I love it! You always leave feeling great because it's such a good workout. (although you know you will be sore the next day) If you want to feel like an athlete join a crossfit gym, everything is designed to increase your entire body strength. The coaches at Recursive really are awesome too! They're all super friendly and will help push you to the best you.

Crossfit was always something I was a little afraid of, until I decided to bite the bullet and sign up for the Foundations class at CFR. I have been nothing but impressed with the facility, trainers, and the community here. This is the place for you if you're looking for that extra push and tons of people to be in your corner to help you reach your goals.

Did a 2 day drop in pass here and do not regret it! Walked in and I'm sure I looked a little lost; almost instantly I got a hello from another member and the coach (Brian). Great place that's very welcoming, great workouts and Brian is awesome! So glad I did the 2 day pass, absolutely worth it and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in town.

Highly recommend CrossFit Recursive of Madison, WI. Member for just under a year as of this writing and am very happy with my experience. The people are great, the atmosphere is 100% positive, and the workouts continue to drive incremental gains.

Jared Campbell

Friendly staff, excellent location, all the equipment you need.

Bernie Zanoni

I will come again when I am in town again. Thanks for the great experience.

My daughter and I did a drop in on a Saturday while visiting from out of town, which can be a bit intimidating. However our experience was awesome; great box, super community, and excellent programming for a team/partner WOD. Everyone in the session was relatively new but Nikole and Dirk scaled us well and supported everyone. Shower was made available to us, which was an extra plus since we were on our way to UW for a campus tour. Group pre-warm up and post stretch was also a nice touch. Great location, right off John Nolen Dr on Willie St, make sure you are looking for the drive way if you've just made the U-turn! Will definitely visit again.

It's evident from the start that the owners care about the athletes (aka anybody who comes to workout). Every coach is knowledgeable and encouraging, and there is a welcoming sense of community. Whether you are new and still trying to decide if CrossFit is right for you, or you are a highly-experienced CrossFit athlete, I'd highly recommend coming & checking it out.

Carolina Aguiar

Adam Kreul

Jesse Jamieson

My home away from home for the past 2 years. I don't think I can overstate how much Crossfit has changed my life for the better and Recursive has been the catalyst for it all.

Rachelle Elvord

I just started working out here just 3 days ago and i know i'm still fresh and I haven't even completed my fundamentals yet but I LOVE IT. The gym is very clean and well taken care of, every coach I've ran into has introduced themselves and that's wonderful cause you can tell that the owners and coach's care a lot about there business and helping people reach there fitness goals. I am very pleased with my first few days and am excited to get stronger as i go!

Alexander Brown

My fitness has turned around for the better my past six months at recursive. Without exception, the coaches here are all both excellent at what they do, and great people :)

Jonathan Korbitz

Super friendly and helpful staff who know what they are doing.

Marnie Miran

We love going to Recursive! Community is amazing, owners and coaches are fantastic, programming is always varied and challenging. We also love that they have a kids room so we never have to skip a workout. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a great place for those looking for a fitness home or if you are just visiting Madison. I have had the opportunity to drop in at a number of places over the last year and it provides a great perspective on how great Crossfit Recursive is. -The coaches are knowledgeable and offer guidance even if you are just dropping in. I’ve found that sometimes when I drop in somewhere they get the cash and signed release and then feel like I’m a ghost. This doesn’t happen here. -I have a Midwest bias, but think that the members are just friendly to those that are stopping in for a workout. -The gym is just clean - really clean. Equipment is in really good working order - and did I mention it was clean? -I really appreciate that nobody starts cleaning up before everyone is done with a WOD. That doesn't seem to be all that common - but it is pretty awesome.

Jeremiah Zuba

Great workouts, great coaches, great community, great box!

Chris Meyers

Best CrossFit gym in Madison. I've gone to different gyms since leaving Madison, and nothing compares to Recursive!

Becky Patrias

I dropped in for a weekend class and had a great time!

Andrea Middleton

If you had told me year ago I would love being part of a CrossFit gym, I would have laughed. I’ve never been much of an athlete or particularly fit and CrossFit was intimidating. Yet, I’ve never felt out of place at CrossFit Recursive and feel lucky to be part of this enthusiastic and friendly community. The coaches strike a balance between encouraging me to push myself and making sure I don’t go too far and get hurt. The other members are welcoming and I enjoy the after hours activities the gym puts together. No one has ever made me feel bad for adjusting the movements to match my fitness level, and we all encourage each other throughout the workouts. Most importantly, joining has allowed me to be more independent in my daily life. No more having to ask the boyfriend to carry the giant box of cat litter inside. During a recent move, I was able to carry and move much more than I had in the previous move. It feels fantastic to be stronger and more self sufficient. If you’re on the fence, I would recommend CrossFit Recursive as the place for you. Come in and meet some of these wonderful people and know that you’ll be welcomed, no matter your fitness level.

This is a great gym, with great people and coaches. Highly recommend.

Natalie Huschka

Great box, coaches are superb! CFR offers a variety of times and so many holistic style classes on top of daily WODs: Olympic weight lifting, yoga, running, to name a few that rotate through. Kid classes on Saturdays is a great option for the whole family. Oh yeah, and did I mention the coaches are amazing, because they are!

John McCauley

Great, positive place. I look forward to going to classes here!
