Best Gyms in Madison

I go there a lot and the place is great. Staff is nice, and there is quite a bit of equipment. I enjoy how the bench press/squat/etc machine has a latch on it. It makes it so that if you are doing an exercise and can no longer continue (etc bench press and can't do a full rep) you can rest the bar at almost any height. This is awesome and it rids the need of a spotter. It is 10 dollars a month for the basic membership which is actually really good considering that you get access to all the gym. The locker room is clean. I enjoy the tv because it makes the time fly when I bike.

Planet is well stocked with many different and well chosen fitness aids, is well kept and cleaned and is affordable. I am very satisfied with this choice.

One of the cleanest gyms I’ve been too. Also great staff, always friendly. I’ve called a few times and always get a response either right or way or get called from the manager. Great service.

Awesome gym and people! Love how cozy the gym is and the staff are all very knowledgeable and always down to help spot and correct you, plus you don’t feel pressured to join their programs, but they have workout splits and lifts available for you to try at no extra cost. Very clean gym, they’re always vacuuming and mopping, the workout equipment are always clean and they have rags and cleaning supplies available for everyone. It’s open 24hrs a day, meaning you get your own access so that’s a plus, and it isn’t super crowded so you’re always able to do all your workouts.

Been coming here for about a year now and long overdue for review. Great atmosphere, equipment, clean, and never crowded. Also gotta give a shout out to Nolan, he definitely keeps that place running smoothly, spotless, and a great guy to chat with.

Great atmosphere. Has all of the machines and equipment you need. Super convenient 24 hour accessibility. Trainers and managers are knowledgeable and fun! Highly recommend.

I exclusively train for powerlifting, so I was skeptical of the gym at first because on the surface it looks like a retro boxing gym. Spending just 5 minutes in that gym I felt silly about my initial judgement. Pros: Cheap compared to large commercial gyms, niche equipment (such as different types of bars, banded deadlifting platform, turf area of the gym), many power racks, heavy dumbbells upwards of 140 pounds. They also have a little shop to buy equipment, merchandise, or protein bars/drinks after your workout. Anything you want to train, they got it. Cons: Can be busy and crowded at times, some of the equipment placement is kinda awkward, not enough adjustable benches in my opinion. The pros vastly outweigh the cons. This is what I think of when I imagine a 5 star gym.

Ford’s Gym is the last real gym in Madison. The staff could not be more professional, all equipment is well maintained and cared for, and the gyms environment encourages focus and hard work in a way that is near impossible to find these days. Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to

At time of writing, Ford's has been my regular gym for over a year. It's an incredibly welcoming and friendly place, even to those who were knew to lifting like myself. With every piece of equipment one could need, Ford's couldn't be a more perfect place to get my workouts in throughout the week.
