I just visited this gym for the very first time and fell absolutely in love! The gym was beautifully laid out with awesome equipment! Great for beginners and athletes! I was shown great hospitality from the person working there. He made sure that i was able to log onto the free wifi which was helpful.I will definitely be very excited to train here many more times!

I was able to workout at Badger Fitness a month or so ago and was extremely impressed with the amount of workout equipment available. You will never have to wait around for racks to open up! The atmosphere was welcoming and the space itself was very clean. You can tell that the owners and members take pride in their gym! I wish I lived a littler closer as this would be my new second home!

Great gym! Cleanest gym I’ve ever worked out in… Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and there to help achieve your goals. Lots of great equipment for a well rounded workout.I joined the gym a couple years ago to help rehab my back. Tony (the owner) helped me build a routine that got me back in shape and kept me motivated for further gains. I now feel better physically than I’ve felt in probably 2 decades. I’ve even gotten to the stage where I’m doing exercises such as squats & deadlifts that the doctors said I would probably never be able to do again with my bad back.Tony also helped me with my nutrition and I’ve lost over 40lbs so far. They also sell probably the best protein supplement that I’ve ever used and members get a discount! Peanut Better is great!If you are looking to be more physically fit and willing to put in the work, I cannot recommend a better place to start your journey. I’m having a blast on my journey and have achieved things I never thought I would achieve again… AND some things that I never achieved before!

I decided one day that I was finally going to start working towards a healthier me, but I had 0 experience working out and knew I would need help.Later that week I went to this Badger fitness, got a personal trainer, and started working towards my goals.Ive been a member at this gym for months now, and I cannot stress enough how positive of an experience this has been. Being a big nerd who never went to the gym I assumed I would stick out like a sore thumb, maybe even be the joke of the room. But everyone else there was trying to reach their goals, just like me! The staff was welcoming, the gym is always clean, and they are SO willing to work with you to help you do what you want to do.I know this sounds like a paid add but its just been that good. if you are a nerd like me but want to get healthy, this is the gym for you.

An amazing gym with everything youll need to get a great workout in! Friendly owner and staff make for a great experience as well.

Finally found a gym I actually want to go to!The staff here are amazing and truly a part of the service that makes this feel like a proper local gym.Good set of equipment between the upstairs and downstairs that you dont feel crowded, good wifi, decent showers and a wealth of usable equipment. Its not going to have the same sterilized feel that a lot of corporate brands do which makes it just feel more real (I mean come on - people are working out here - I dont expect it to be hospital clean)They offer useful weight training help and information, nutrition and group classes to get you moving. Highly recommended for the newbie like I was to get started - no judgement, just helpful staff.Huge props to Nolan over there for being both a great training partner and all-around good staff.

I have been going to badger fitness for almost two months now. Its been a amazing experience, since day one Nolan has been nothing but extremely helpful and kind. The facility is spotless at all times. Joining badger fitness is hands down the best choice I’ve made this year.

I just recently started my “fitness journey” at Badger Fitness and I couldn’t be happier! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone. Nolan (one of the very knowledgeable trainers) is very encouraging and there is no body shaming at this gym! The facility is VERY clean and has everything you need to achieve your own fitness goals! Worth checking out!

Great atmosphere! Im new to most of the equipment but Ive never felt uncomfortable or intimidated. Instead its been very supportive and empowering from staff and other members. In the past Ive been at gyms where there were entire sections of free weights that were pretty much used exclusively by the big buff men and as a woman new to fitness I felt super uncomfortable entering that space. At Badger there are some men but theres also a whole bunch of l strong women doing their thing 💪

The best gym I’ve been to they make you feel welcome immediately as you walk through the doors. super clean and very professional I would recommend this place to everyone! Thank you Tony and Katie for creating such a awesome place to work out at and special thanks to Nolan for pushing me to make those gains 💪🏽

Nolan is a great guy who is very enthusiastic about helping anyone with their fitness goals, and he keeps the gym crazy clean. Highly recommended

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Tony & the staff are amazing!!Extremely clean gym!!!Love all the equipment!!!Love training here!!!Definitely a must for everyone!!!!

I have been a member at Badger Fitness for 5 years. This gym and it’s members are truly like a supportive family for me. Everyone here is supportive and possesses a positive attitude that is motivating, especially on those days where you need a little extra push. The staff are always willing and able to answer questions and offer suggestions and feedback when needed. If you want to workout in a place where you never feel judged and want to be surrounded by people who truly want to see you succeed, then Badger Fitness is your place!

I have been coming to the gym for around 3 months now. Over my winter starting out the staff has kept the floors as squeaky clean as a Madison winter can be, and also have a very good sanitization procedure.I have been training 4 days a week, and been very pleased with how much fun I have actually been able to have transitioning into a healthier lifestyle with the managerial staffs guidance.They really show that they have a passion for it, and are not just another run of the mill gym/workout center. Very highly recommended!

Great gym with helpful staff in addition to clean and plentiful equipment for all exercises you could need.

Absolutely love this gym and the staff! The trainers are all very welcoming and encouraging. They are always willing to answer questions. The facility is clean and open 24/7 so it easy to come in and focus on your workout at any time of the day. This place is one of a kind and an incredible family owned gym!

Badger Fitness 24/7 is great. I havent been to the gym in a very long time and with a bad diet that compounded to me being obese and not feeling comfortable (self-conscious) in the gym. When I did my walk through I felt like there was an awesome amount of energy and dedication from the owners and employees. I wasnt sure about my form for exercises and I needed a better diet plan so I hired a personal trainer. Currently working with my personal trainer he is very cognizant of my shoulder problems that I incurred from my high school wrestling days so we modify some techniques. The other part of my personal training that I feel is helpful is the ability to be flexible if you need to reschedule because of work or an emergency they are willing to change things up.This is definitely a great family to join!

Very nice small compact gym. I would, say this much more of a free wight gym, which I prefer. They do have some machines and about 10/15 different cardio machines. I think they have 6 different squat racks which is really nice. The only cons I have about this gym is I wish they had a few more machines like a curl and shoulder machine. Also membership price is $60 a month and doesnt come with any amenities. But I also LOVE that this gym is never crowded even during peak gym times. After 7pm the gym is almost empty. Owners are very nice and seem to care very much about the gym and their members.

Stopped in for a tour of the gym. I was very impressed with how clean it was and the variety of equipment that it offered. The manager was very outgoing and helpful. I’ll definitely cancel my current membership and get one here!

A sanctuary of positivity and well being, this gym is the type of place that a traveler discovers once every two or three states. The staff have created an environment that is as accessible and supportive to the first timer overcoming their initial fears as it is to the world class athlete preparing for a professional competition. The space, equipment, and set up are all phenomenal, a representation of the never ending journey towards excellence, and the atmosphere reflects the joy of being committed to such a journey. They say that the spaces we build end up building us...for that reason, this is a space I will forever return to.

I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Badger Fitness is the right place for you if youve never stepped into a gym, training for a bodybuilding competition, or anything in between. The Badger team meets you right where youre at and does everything in their power to get you to where you want to be.On top of being beautifully clean, spacious, and having many squat racks, what sets Badger Fitness apart is the unparalleled support and guidance. The staff knows their members by name, gets to know you and your goals... they genuinely want you to succeed. Tony, Katie and Kaades passion for fitness and coaching is inspiring, and all their positive energy and commitment is contagious.Tony is exceptional at tailoring his extensive fitness knowledge to provide the right guidance for YOU (that you can actually understand) based on where youre at in your fitness journey.If youre ready to show up, Badger Fitness is the place for you to crush your goals.

I love Badger! The staff is genuinely interested in seeing you accomplish your fitness goals and is willing to help if you have any questions. All of the equipment is very clean and well-maintained. Great place to work out!

This gym is great for any experience level! Its also the cleanest gym I have been apart of and with everything happening now that is very important! The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to workout in a clean and positive environment.

I have had a membership with Badger Fitness 24/7 for over a year now. The staff are always friendly and helpful for fitness related questions. I like the convenience of 24hour access because I have a odd work schedule. Recently I asked Tony for advice for a strength training program. He wrote up an outline, explained the exercises, and ensured I was doing the proper form. I have been following the program for a few weeks now and love it.

Tony and Katie are great people, that care about their members and will do whatever they can to help out. They are always happy to be in the gym helping their community. Great gym for all demographics.

Love these peeps! Definitely the best gym in the Madison area! 😃

Switched over to Badger from a larger corporate gym chain after moving to the east side. The gym is always clean and the staff is super friendly. They have several squat racks and a good variety of free weights/equipment. The atmosphere is always inviting and it never gets overly busy. Glad I made the switch.

I previously was a member at a big box gym and had grown tired of the stale atmosphere and had not made any real progress on my fitness level. I actually started to dread going to the gym. I needed a change. Over the last year at Badger Fitness I have made incredible gains with the help of my trainer and tips from the owners and members. The facility is well kept, the perfect size, and open 24/7. I highly recommend it 💪🏻🤙🏻

The Badger Fitness facility is an amazing space with well-distributed and high-quality workout equipment. This gym has a considerable range of dumbbells that allows high-load lifting programs as well as specific equipment to focus on isolate or multi-articulated muscles. Additionally, the owner/manager has valuable knowledge to assist and plan a personalized training program to its costumers. The InBody 270 is a great differential of this gym, this scientific equipment is a freely available tool to measure body composition, allowing their costumers to track the changes on their fat mass and fat-free mass, and then adjusting their dietetic and training plans. I strongly recommend this gym to people who are focused and determined to achieve great quality of life and body composition changes.

Badger Fitness has the best atmosphere of any gym I have ever been to. I felt welcomed into the gym from the very first time I stepped into it. The staff are amazing and the owners are beyond knowledgeable. If youre looking for somewhere that will support whatever goal you have in mind and the know-how to get there then look no further. This gym is the complete package for hardcore lifters and those who are just seeking a higher level of fitness alike. I cannot recommend a better place if you want to better yourself.

****Update*** After my initial review, I thought maybe there was some miscommunication. I reached out to Badger Fitness and turns out I had misunderstood my contract, regardless they listened to my concerns and offered me a way to get back in good standing which I appreciate. They worked with me, had a great attitude and offered a solution that we all agreed with. They do care about their customers and it shows because they were willing to work with me and were very flexible in doing so.When they dont call, or message, or ask about your membership and just turn your account over to a collection agency. Meanwhile Charging you wrong when you are supposed to have the veteran discount. Even after talking to them about it and they still didnt change it. Not happy that now I have to work with a collection agency because of poor account management.

Before I write my review about Badger Fitness, I think its important to know where I started. Ive always been physically active whether that was playing a sport in high school, hiking a mountain, kayaking, etc. However, Ive always had bad knees, scoliosis & lordosis that result in chronic pain therefore, I never thought in a million years I could lift real weight. So I was always the girl in the gym that did the machine work outs, the stair machine, the ab workouts I found on pinterest, etc. without ever showing any improvement.. my body just stayed the same. Ive been to a couple gyms around Madison, but nothing has compared to Badger.I saw someone deadlift one day and said to myself, Hey that looks interesting, I wanna try. So I tried, never really feeling super confident about it until Katie came out of nowhere and said, Girl, you have potential. I know you can do more! And that changed my entire weightlifting career. I needed a push, I needed someone to have some confidence in me, I needed someone to show me what to do.Being a women already has its challenges. Being a women in a gym is an entirely new ball game.. you feel awkward, self conscious, embarrassed, etc. but not at Badger. At Badger you feel part of something, theres this community there that you dont find anywhere else. I know if I need help, I can just walk up to the next person and ask for it. I know if I fail, no ones going to be making fun of me, they will look at me and say, Damn that was impressed, get up and try again. I know that when I hit a new Deadlift, Squat, Bench PR there are going to be people that cheer, clap and congratulate me. Badger feels like home. There are so many days I walk into this gym in a terrible headspace and walk out in a completely different mindset! You dont get this support or community anywhere else. I mean hell, when I bought my house I made sure it was close to Badger Fitness because I spend so much time here!

This gyms atmosphere gave me the motivation I needed to begin to reach my goals. 10/10 recommend!

I recently became a member at Badger Fitness and I’m so glad I decided too! Not only is the staff all very helpful but I don’t feel like everyone’s watching me while I workout. This was typically a concern of mine at other gyms. I would highly recommend Badger fitness to anyone looking for a new gym in the Madison area.

I started my membership with about a year of inconsistency before I realized I had EVERY resource at my disposal with this gym. Since working with Katie and Tony Ive gained strength, lost bloat, sleep better (even working nightshift!), wake feeling rested, have a better grasp on what my body needs nutritionally, and overall feel better than I have in YEARS. I feel like I understand my body so much better thanks to these guys and can therefore meet my goals. From nutritional guidance to safe lifting and overall health, this is a gym that takes great joy in their members victories.I liked the gym before the improvements but they took advantage of the covid closure to make it even better! They offer virtual classes during covid if coming into the gym isnt your thing right now but Im telling you the facility is fantastic. I cant even describe how good I feel right now and its all thanks to the people at Badger Fitness.P.S. This has to be one of the most cost effective gyms Ive ever been to!

One of my favorite places. Equipment is well maintained, staff is always willing to help, and the camaraderie is second to none. LOVE IT HERE!

Came in to check on my membership. Met with the new manager Nolan, Super nice guy and answered all my questions. Gym was very clean and the new renovations are great!

Fantastic gym - meticulously cleaned/maintained, friendly management/trainers, and an all around great atmosphere!If youre on the fence about joining this gym, stop in to take a tour - their manager Nolan will show you around and answer any questions!

Awesome gym, all the right equipment. Nice people, great trainers and the owners are awesome folks.

Clean and spacious. Great place to work out and meet interesting people at the same time.

In town on Leave and needed a gym to lift at, Badger Fitness is an old school atmosphere with great equipment for lifting, power lifting and cross training! Clean environment and welcoming! 100% recommend this gym for any level of fitness. Tony is an awesome human! I will continue to come back when I’m in the area!

Easily the best gym in the area. Staff are friendly and welcoming to individuals at all levels of fitness. They have all the equipment you need and a positive atmosphere.

Badger is a fantastic gym! Clean, organized, and updated. Owners and trainers are incredible. Highly recommend!

Ive been going to Badger Fitness for almost a year now and I would recommend them to anyone interested in a great, family owned, personable gym. Badger Fitness has a mix of services to motivate you while also being a stable space with the tools to do your own thing too. I started with boot camps and then switched to personal training with Kaade. In both settings, I felt really supported personally and more importantly challenged at an appropriate level. I never feel pressured or weak but instead I feel very empowered. Kaade has pushed me to try new machines, new workout plans, and really tailored my experience to help me in my fitness goals. He always has a positive attitude and is a total goofball that will make you laugh but then immediately hold you accountable to that last rep (he never looses count....like ever). Kaade also demonstrates genuine care for his gym family/clients. When I go to to workout on my own, if Kaade is there, he will kindly correct my form or yell words of encouragement. Its clear Kaade truly cares about people and wants them to be better versions of themselves both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend starting with Kaade as a personal trainer if you need motivation, have no clue what you are doing, want to lift really heavy objects for fun, or just need a someone to tailor workouts to meet your goals. I will also comment that this gym is very inclusive to a range of identities. I think anyone could feel welcomed, acknowledged, and able to work out comfortably regardless of race, gender, size, or experience. Dont get me wrong, their are some intimidating people who work out here, but everyone is really passionate about gains and wants to share the gym family love.

Ive been working with Molly for awhile now and shes great!! She truly cares about her clients and is always willing to go the extra mile to help me achieve my goals. The owners definitely want to help people reach their goals! I didnt give five stars at the Lien road location because a lot of the equipment at the Lien road location is old and beat up. Stoughton locations equipment is much better.

Gyms super clean

Ive been coming here for 5+ years and have never had a complaint about this gym. It has everything I need for strength training and comes at a reasonable price. It may not have a pool or a track, but it has plenty of free weights and squat racks which many places lack. Staff is incredibly friendly and do not hesitate to help anyone with their training, beginner or veteran. As long as I am in the area, Badger Fitness is my gym and a second home.

This is a great gym! The owners, Tony and Katie, are awesome and super friendly. The gym focuses more on weight lifting than anything else, and has trainers who are available to help you reach any of your goals. They also have yoga classes at their Lien Road location.

Great gym with a wide array of equipment and a good atmosphere. The training staff there is awesome - I’ve been working with Alex for a while and he truly goes above and beyond. He’s serious about helping me reach my strength goals and has been super supportive in getting me back into the gym after an extended break due to illness. Overall I’ve been super happy with the gym and the staff.

Such an awesome place to workout with an wide variety of quality equipment. The staff is so kind and personable. I was visiting town and the day passes were priced the most reasonable out of many places in the area. Definitely a place I would regularly attend if I lived in the area but a place I will always go to when visiting!

I love all about it!!!! All of ifThe atmosphereThe managementThe personal trainersEVERYTHING

Awesome place! It has all the equipment you need to get in shape! Everyone who works there is super cool and chill. The place itself gives off good vibes and the music playlist keeps you going! Highly recommend!

I started a year ago with zero weight training experience. The training staff is great and helps with both nutrition and workouts. Ive lost a ton of fat and gained a ton of muscle this past year. This is easily the best gym in the area.

Cant say enough good things about Badger Fitness! Started working out here in 2014, and have had no complaints since starting. It is a quiet place to do serious lifting or cardio, but the people are friendly and you can make good gym friends too. Scrappy the gym dog is an excellent perk of working out here :) It is a clean place with enough equipment for the amount of people who come. Also reasonably priced. Tony is a great person and I feel he genuinely cares about all of his clients. Highly recommend.

This place makes you sign a contract and if you are unable to afford to continue working out at this gym they don’t care they’ll offer to suspend your contract but not cancel it and then they will re-authorize without asking if you’re ready to continue. The amount of overdraft fees I’ve been charged because this company continues my subscription without my permission is ridiculous.

Very clean! Owner is always there cleaning. Cleanliness is very important for a gym. Reasonably priced. Good equipment. Clean locker rooms. Only thing is I wish they had lockers in the locker rooms, but I dont worry about anyone stealing anything. Scrappy the gym mascot is cute and friendly.

In town for a layover and worked out here. Great gym. The owner works out and competes and it shows in the gym, much better equipped than most gyms this size. I got a great workout. She has a awesome little dog, Tido, to help keep you motivated.

Been a member almost 3 years. Always happy to workout here and use their trainers. Great family run business.

Great atmosphere. Outstanding knowledgeable trainers who go out of their way to be flexible with your schedule and help guide you to attain your fitness goals. Highly recommend.

Ive been a member of Badger Fitness for about 2 years. This is more than just a fitness club, its a family. No matter your shape, experience, style, or look they will work with you and make you better.

Really friendly Gym, has all the equipment you need, the staff there is great and They give out good motivation.

Family owned gym, Tony and the fitness specialists are always available and give relevant suggestions

Just left this place trying to work out just for a few days since I was just visiting. I was directed to a person who I was told was the owner. He was rude not just to me but also to the guy that directed me to him. Maybe he was having a bad day but will definitely not be coming back here. Thanks to the guy whoever you are who tried to help me. Much appreciated.

This place has 2 prowlers, a hack squat sled, safety bar for squats, 6 squat racks, battle rope and plenty of space for lunges, agility work and much more. Also the people here are the type of people who always workout. If you actually want to make a change this is the kind of gym you want to be at.

When I came to visit and workout with my family a few times before we moved the gym was always clean and the people were super friendly and smiley! I love the assortment of equipment and everyone willing to answer questions when you need help!

I am intimidated when it comes to working out in gyms after I experienced an accident a couple of years ago; however, I knew what my goals were for this year, and I was out to pursue them. I came across a sponsored link on Facebook for a class that I chose to sign-up for that I soon found out was for weight loss. Tony, the owner, texted me personally, and after answering many of his questions, he realized and understood that my goals were to gain weight and put on muscle, so he wanted to help me. Since one of his weight lifting classes was already full, he worked with me one-on-one, which no other gym offers to do such a thing. Not only did Tony work with me, but he also emailed me a routine so that I could learn the ways of weight lifting. This gym goes the extra step in making sure that all the clients who come in through the front door are feeling confident and are willing to be the change. I cannot thank Tony enough for the warm welcome into his gym family. My time spent at this gym was limited, and due to my future career goals, I am relocating to a new city. Finding someone like Tony is going to be a challenge for me, but I will use what he has taught me to continue meeting my fitness goals.

Badger Fitness has been my favorite gym of the many Ive been a member. Tons of free weights, racks, and excellent machines. Great variety of cardio stuff. Open 24/7 for a reasonable price.Dont bother researching any other places because you wont do better

Great gym. Trainers/staff and owners are very nice and always willing to help out. Love the atmosphere as well.

If youre serious about fitness this is the place to be! Badger Fitness is a locally owned gym, and it shows. No chain gimmicks, just people who are there to help when you need it. They have all the equipment you could ever want, and trainers who work with you one on one to reach your goals.Alex, my personal trainer at Badger, is a training super star! My workouts used to consist of cardio, cardio, and more cardio (a.k.a the treadmill), but Alex showed me the benefits of strength training, and his personalized workouts have me stronger than Ive ever been!Badger Fitness, and Alex, gave me a whole new outlook on health and fitness. Id definitely recommend checking them out!

Katie is an awesome trainer. After trying tons of classes and every kind of cardio, I’m excited to have found badger fitness and an awesome female trainer who can help me take my fitness to the next level!!

Badger is a fantastic gym that offers a wonderful hybrid of a heavy lifting space and the more calm, contemporary atmosphere one would expect out of a large chain gym, but without the exorbitant costs or hordes of people.Everything is fit into the gym spectacularly well including several squat racks, a padded deadlifting platform, and even quieter space upstairs for cardio equipment, and prowlers. Making Badger one of the most ergonomically laid out and user friendly gyms Ive ever been to.The gym is immaculately clean, and well maintained. Which is a huge credit to the owner, Tony Meives, who does the lions share of work himself, and is all around a great guy. Tony has never been anything but helpful and friendly to myself and others I have seen him interact with at the gym. Which lends an environment of welcome to the entire place.All said I would highly recommend Badger to anyone seeking a new gym space with quality equipment, well maintained atmosphere, and staffing that is actually involved and helpful.

People leave us alone and it has never been too crowded. Already feels like a home away from home.

Great gym. The perfect balance of a bright, modern fitness center and a good old fashioned weightlifting gym.

Great place to workout, the owner is a super friendly person that is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. I would recommend this gym to anyone searching for a new place to workout.

Boot camp. Natural body builders and great trainers

This is the best gym in the state for its ease of use simplicity and features, also the owners and trainers here are the best

Great place to work out. Helpful staff, great equipment.

Great equipment selection, knowledgeable/inviting staff, members are polite and motivated!

So. Much. LOVE. Here.

Good gym with everything you need and 24 hour access.

Clean, well maintained

Great group of trainers and people!

Convenient locations and well maintained equipment

Had fun. Busy
