I love Orange Shoe. The trainers are personable and meet you where you are on your fitness journey. I joined a few months after having foot surgery and I never felt like I was over my head in classes. I was given modifications and suggestions that helped my strength and balance. Now I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have. Its been 2 years since my surgery and I wouldnt be where I am in my progress without Orange Shoe. Covid hasnt stopped them, either. The Zoom classes are great. You still get personal attention and a great workout.

This is a fantastic gym!! All the trainers are great listeners and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I really like how they have listened to my history and my previous injuries and have suggested modifications during class. They have found ways to make virtual classes engaging and super impactful. So far, a great experience!

I have been attending small group training since opening in July 2019. The facilities are great and the trainers are wonderful. The trainers are always watching clients for form corrections and changes to challenge us.

I have been working out with Orange Shoe (University Avenue, mostly with Bryce) for around a year now. I wasn’t fit at all when I started, but even in my earlier days, when I was considering myself fit, I had troubles with stairs or going uphill, or simply with standing for a long time. My biggest revelation with Orange Shoe is that these troubles disappeared in a matter of months of exercising with OS (mostly thanks to the glutes workout). Similarly, I always used to have some muscle ache, and always had to ask my wife to massage me. These days that happens only if I skip one or two sessions at OS. Add to this how much better I look, how much better I feel, and it is clear why I find this one my best ‘investments’. I don’t even hate working out anymore!All the coaches I worked there have finished or are close to graduating in kinesiology. They know what they are doing, and you quickly realize that your movements are hitting the target muscles. My coach also has a lot of interest and experience in physiotherapy, and he helped me several times with some smaller joint or muscle problems. Hey, he even taught me a new method of tying shoelaces, which saved me two pairs of sneakers.

Predatory in professional business that has made no less than 2 fraudulent charges to my account in the first month. I am going to be canceling the card due to their actions.

Great gym with the one-on-one personalization & flexibility in scheduling I need! Have trained here for over a year & consistently learn new exercises! Love it!

Orange Shoe University Ave has done a great job of accommodating its clients during the COVID-19 health crisis. Most importantly, they have been responsive to feedback and really have been listening to their clients. Zoom classes are great! I feel personally connected to my trainers and the other people in the class, some of whom I have only met online. The classes are challenging and trainers can make adjustments for you even in the online setting. Going online has even made it easier for me to go to small group sessions. I now go 5 days a week and feel more fit than ever. Thanks Orange Shoe-University!I just finished the No Resolution Challenge for the month of December! What a fun way to finish the year (and an incentive to fit a few more group zoom classes into to my holiday schedule!)

I love the new Orange Shoe on University. With working full time and having a family, I was struggling to commit to exercising regularly. Since I started at Orange Shoe, I have been able to work out 3-4 times per week for several months now. The trainers are fantastic. Ive been impressed by their knowledge of physiology, proper technique and the ability to guide and correct me. I feel like I am finally learning how to exercise correctly in a way that maximizes the benefits without injuring myself. What I love most about the personal training and many of the small group classes is that they are offered in 30 minute slots. Its a balanced workout delivered in an efficient way. It is not only easy to fit into my schedule but psychologically, I am much more willing to go because 30 minutes is totally do-able. Now, three months into working out at Orange Shoe, Im feeling physically and mentally better. My back hurts less, I feel like I am getting stronger and I feel better about myself. I highly recommend it!

The Orange Shoe trainers are personable and knowledgeable. With Safer-At-Home in effect, they have shown themselves to be imaginative, too, adapting workouts that effectively make use of whatever is available. Trainers design sessions to accommodate my goals and how Im feeling week to week. I havent felt this strong in years.

I have been a member for the last couple of months and I am really enjoying the trainers and the personalized workouts. I appreciate that they work with my busy schedule, and truly take an interest in my goals. The trainers watch my form and give me the needed direction to correct it so I am getting the most out of the workout. I was a bit skeptical at first, but have nothing but praise for trainers Andrew and Bryce.I am looking forward to seeing what more I can accomplish and learn from them.Thanks!Thomas Scheid

My experience at Orange Shoe has been absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere at Orange Shoe is so welcoming and positive that it has been a joy to train there. Andrew and the team are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced trainers that really take the time to get to know you, your fitness goals, and how they can help you achieve them. As someone who played competitive golf for many years and came out with an injured back, I was nervous about starting a weight training program. However, the trainers at Orange Shoe are able to guide me through workouts that are highly effective but also protect my back. On a practical note, I really appreciate that the space is always neat, clean, and organized (unlike most gyms!). If you are looking for a personal trainer or group fitness classes in Madison, Orange Shoe is definitely the place to go!

As someone who was very timid about personal training, the staff welcomed me in so nicely! The professionalism as well as relatability with all of the trainers is incredible. The staff at OS are beyond skilled at working with all types of fitness levels. Andrew and team really created a wonderful space for all different body types to come in, challenge themselves, and support one another. They provide individualized personal training as well as group classes that integrate in your own personal fitness routine. You can always count on a good laugh, or dad jokes while working up a sweat.Im beyond happy I found this place, and highly recommend.Andrew, Lauren, Bryce, and Kellen thank you for being amazing humans, helping people find that fitness is fun, and putting up with me!

Orange Shoe on University has a brilliant team of trainers. Theyre fun, they know their stuff, and they focus on the right things. I have not only seen physical results, but recognize the benefits to my mental health, as well. I am so grateful I found them and could not be happier. Most highly recommended.

I have been so impressed with the level of professionalism from all of the staff at Orange Shoe. They are able to easily adapt workouts to fit the needs of both elite athletes and people with some limitations. They provide personalized feedback to get the most out of your workouts while preventing injuries. It is a fun (and challenging) atmosphere.The trainers obviously love what they do and care about their clients. I highly recommend checking them out!Update 6/8/2020:I have been a client at Orange Shoe - University Ave. since shortly after they opened. I continue to be amazed by their professionalism and support. They are very accommodating. During the safer at home order, they adapted by offering classes through zoom. Currently, they are offering both classes online and in-person. They are all mindful of maintaining a safe environment while also providing outstanding coaching. They are also just genuinely kind and thoughtful people. Their coaching and support has meant everything during this challenging time.Update 12/30/2020I love this place. I feel both challenged and well-supported by the incredible trainers at Orange Shoe. I appreciate that they are able to adapt any workout to meet my needs, but will also push me by encouraging me to use a heavier weight or work through the last few seconds of an exercise. The other clients who go to Orange Shoe are also wonderful people and care about the health and well-being of one another. Thank you Orange Shoe owners, trainers, and fellow clients!!! 🧡🧡🧡

I am so grateful to have found Orange Shoe after a not-so-great experience with a previous trainer. Andrew really listens to my needs/goals and tailors my workouts accordingly. I am not someone who typically enjoys working out, but I find myself looking forward to these sessions!

I love the personal attention I receive to my fitness goals, from every instructor here! After years at other gyms and doing different workouts, I found a place that I hate missing a session at, and crave when Im away! Thanks Andrew and Team!!!

I really like this place! All the trainers are excellent and they have offered so much energy to me.

Staff are unprofessional and lazy. Fitness solutions down the street are much more friendly and have way better personal trainers.

I love how clean this new space is and how friendly everyone is. The trainers actually care and listen! Thanks Andrew for all you do!

Great trainers, excellent programs, and super convenient location. Have been working out here for over 3 months and have never felt more motivated!

Instructors are creepy
