This gym is definitely a rare, amazing find. You come in to a place that is very welcoming. The staff takes the time to really get to know you. Sonya and Mark have created a great culture. Made some great friends here. People really treat you like family here and are always willing to help you. I was new to the area, not really sure where to go and I am glad I gave them a try. Going on 3 months and its the best gym decision Ive made.

By far the BEST gym in all of Madison. Everything about this gym is just perfect. They have the best equipment, staff, and theyre very clean! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Phenomenal gym from top to bottom. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, a large variety of updated workout equipment, and it’s kept clean. I love that both men and women of all ages and sizes are welcomed with a positive attitude! Highly recommend, especially if you are new to working out and want a healthy environment to learn in.

Nicest facility (space, equipment, locker room) in town. Culture is about taking things to the highest level combined with absolute humility. Great place to learn new skills from a world-class coaching staff.

Amazing gym. The gym equipment and mats are spotless. You can tell the owners take pride in their facility and it shows in the appearance of the gym and the quality of their students. It’s a privilege to train here.

Great facilities and very clean. The staff is helpful and very professional. Great gym if youre still looking in the Madison area.

Beautiful facility. Friendly staff. Great equipment

Ive been with Twisted Fitness for 4 years, and its been a tremendously good impact on my life. The coaches are great, the students are great, the facility is great. Whether youre interested in competition, or just fun, this is an excellent place to train.

Phenomenal facility-large, clean and comfortable. The equipment and classes are perfectly chosen and curated to meet any fitness goal. The trainers are true professionals: inspiring, experts in their craft (take your pick - JiuJitsu, Muay Thai, Crossfit, etc...), and share their knowledge with zero pretension.

Been a member here for a little over a month. I was a former member at madtown fitness and didnt think there would be another gym with similar or equal equipment. After discovering Twisted fitness and seeing all the high end equipment, I had no doubt in my mind that this was going to be my new gym. The fact that they have the Ohio deadlift bars and Rogue squat bars open for all members is what really sold me (previous gym would not let anyone use the the specialized deadlift or squat bar due whatever reason). Staff is beyond friendly, place is squeaky clean (cannot stress this enough), and the services they offer is impressive. Other then not being 24/7 and not having a dedicated dip with pull up tower, this place is still 10/10 and wouldnt consider any other gym. If youre a powerlifter, strongman, weight-lifter, or into martial arts, this place is for you.

Best gym in town. Love it

Awesome Gym and the Best Professors in the game. If you are thinking about doing Jiu-Jitsu in Madison or the surrounding areas, do it here. This is the Top Rated Gym in the area for good reason. The whole Team is very friendly and welcoming and everybody works hard to help new teammates feel at home. Professor Mark and Professor Sonya are both high level black belts who will get your game to where it need to be! Very happy to be a part of this Team!

Im not even a member at this gym but the tour itself deserves a 5 star rating! Cant wait until my current gym membership is up so I can switch.

Amazing gym with a amazing community. Truly a one of a kind place where everyone wants to see the members grow and succeed.

The place is HUGE. Lots to offer and the owners rock.

Twisted Fitness went above and beyond in creating their new gym space. I literally feel like a kid in a candy shop every time I walk through the doors. The equipment is legit and fits the needs of any lifter, brand new or seasoned. Plus the community and atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. If youve been looking for new place, I would highly recommend checking Twisted Fitness out!

I have never seen such a beautiful gym. It has every piece of equipment you need to do; from running, strength training, bodybuilding or just looking to get fit for the summer or year-round! Combine that with outstanding instructors and you have the best gym in the Madison area.

One of the cleanest gyms Ive been a member of. They have all of the machines and equipment you could ever want.The Jiu Jitsu program has top notch instruction where competitors and beginners will feel welcomed and at home.

This is not your average everyday gym. This place is amazing! All of the best equipment and just about anything you could want if you lift. Strongman, power lifting, bodybuilding, any high level or beginner athlete can be successful here. Top notch staff and beautiful facility.

The Twisted Fitness gym is by far the most exciting and unique gym I have been to. All the equipment is brand new and top of the line. There is a ton of room to use squat racks and platforms. They also have nice turf for sled pushing and yokes!

Twisted Fitness is really amazing. They run their classes well — theres a lot of focus, and a whole lot gets accomplished, but theres no slave-driver atmosphere. The teachers are inspiring, smart, and capable, able to explain things clearly and demonstrate well. They handle students of all skill levels and natural capabilities in ways that are appropriate and helpful, and I really have nothing negative to say. I wish I had a place like this available when I was young.

I have been training at twisted fitness for 13 months now. This is by FAR the best gym in Madison. Professor Mark and Sonya are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and dedicated to their passions of fitness and martial arts. The new facility has everything you would want in a gym and more. All of the equipment is state of the art ! Also, the practices are always solid along with a flexible schedule for those looking to get into martial arts. Plus ... the staff and coaches are so welcoming 🙌🏻 Great vibes ! CHECK IT OUT

I cant believe how amazing this gym is. The layout is perfect, the locker rooms are big and convenient, and the equipment is phenomenal. This space is state-of-the-art and I have never experienced a place that does it better.

Updated Review! It’s now 2019 and I first reviewed Twisted Fitness six years ago. Twisted Fitness has recently moved and expanded the facility to serve their members, the weight lifting and fitness community in an even better way. Twisted Fitness is now the best and newest gym on the east side of Madison, featuring all new Rogue and Arsenal Strength equipment, challenging cardio equipment, platforms for Olympic lifting, squat racks, and strength machines to target the entire body. Perfect location between Hwy 30 and East Washington. Big parking lot, large beautiful locker rooms, free towel service and coffee are just some of the extra perks too!

Great instruction! Great people! Great equipment! Great amount of space!

Best gym in town! Brand new, spacious and lots to offer. Alliance jiujitsu is the best team around and the owners of Twisted are genuine great people!

I came in from out of town and they welcomed me right in for a class. The instruction was excellent and the students in the class were all great to train with. I highly recommend this gym if you’re in the Madison area!

Twisted Fitness is a beautiful facility with brand new equipment. Very clean. Great for olympic lifting. It has everything you need.

Ive been doing Jiu-Jitsu here since 2007. If youre looking for a lifestyle change that will keep you safe, fit, and motivated this is the place for you. Im looking forward to getting my girls into the kids program!

Great fitness environment and amazing staff

Truly a world class gym. Incredible equipment and knowledgeable staff make this my home away from home!

Top notch training facility with the best equipment money can buy.

This strength and conditioning facility is second to none. Whether youre interested in Olympic lifting, Strongman, CrossFit, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or you just want to get in better shape than you were yesterday. This is the place! Remember when you ran outside at recess excited to play on the jungle gym? Its the adult version of that! Come check it out!

I have been training at Twisted Fitness for 6 years. In that time I have traveled for work and had the opportunity to check out a bunch of other gyms around the country. Twisted Fitness is hands down the best gym I have experienced. I am happy to be a part of this gym. My oldest child is in their kids program and I am looking forward to my youngest joining their kids program soon. This is a very technical school with a great vibe. I strongly recomend Twisted Fitness Gym to anyone!

Incredible workout facility and CrossFit gym. They also have the perfect combination of elite level brazilian jiu jitsu competitors and classes, but also an excellent program for beginners and kids. Highly recommend.

Amazing martial arts taught here! Knowledgeable instructors and a great training environment. Come check the place out!

Spacious gym, and state-of-the-art equipment for any of your work-out needs. Not to mention, great coaches/staff!

Whether you plan on doing CrossFit, strongman, bodybuilding, etc., Twisted Fitness is the place to be. Superb equipment coupled with a great staff makes it the best gym in Madison by a long-shot.

Twisted Fitness Gym is the place to go in the Madison are for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The owners, Mark & Sonya Plavcan, run a first class facility and the people that train there take their Jiu Jitsu seriously and are great people to work with.

Hands down best gym

Recently tried out this gym for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I love it! The instructors are very knowledgeable, great at explaining things, and the people there encourage you and help you when you have questions. The members are welcoming and make the classes fun whether you are brand new, or come with experience. I also like the Muay Thai classes. Its a great conditioning workout and the classes are challenging but really fun! Highly recommend you try it out!

I have been doing martial arts of one kind or another for over a decade, and I could tell right away that I had found something great in Twisted Fitness. The instructors are top notch and everyone is super welcoming. This gym is all about the love of the art and not about making money. I have been training at this gym for the past 5 years and love it here. There is a real sense of community and friendship that helps keep you motivated.Whether you want to compete or just stay fit, you will find classes here for you. I mainly attend the yoga, jiu jitsu and judo classes (because there are only so many hours in a day), but they are all taught by great instructors. As a woman it can be hard to find a martial arts school that you feel comfortable with, but this gym has quite a few women teachers and students. Plus, they have an expanding youth program for kids to learn self-defense techniques.I highly recommend you check out some of Twisted Fitness classes - I am sure they have something that you will love. I really cant say enough about this gym - get out there and try it out!

Amazing gym! It has everything you could ask for!!!

Solid BJJ program, with an emphasis on competition, but no pressure to compete. Self-defense taught as well. Havent tried the Muay Thai classes, but used to box with a couple guys downstairs in Fords Gym who came from that program, and they knew how to train and fight. Intense general fitness classes (boot camp, crunch-time). Take-down classes as well, incorporating judo and wrestling techniques. Both morning and evening classes offered. The proximity to Fords Gym is convenient (they share a building), if youre looking to do more than just martial arts. A unique corner of the town like no other. Great place to train. Highly recommended.

Top-notch school and training facility.

The minute I walked in I was greated with respect. Starting Jiu-Jitsu is intimidating, but I was welcomed and the uncomfortability faded.

Very helpful staff

Best jiu jitsu around. Great family here. Ive been to all of the classes including muay thai and yoga and they are all great. I really have no complaints. Clean, great instruction, awesome workouts. Definitely consider checking this place if youve ever considered any of these sports or are just curious.

I have been training jiu jitsu at Twisted Fitness for several years now. In my travels I have also trained at numerous other highly rated jiu jitsu academies and they dont seem to compare to the quality of Twisted Fitness. Mark and Sonya are extremely dedicated to teaching all of the latest techniques, while not losing sight of the fundamentals. They also bring in some of the best jiu jitsu competitors in the world to teach seminars, throughout the year. This past year alone, they offered seminars from two world champions! All of the students and instructors are very friendly and helpful. They also show a great deal of patience and are willing to work one-on-one with newcomers, to make sure they are getting the instruction they need. Whether you are a beginner or have trained for years, Twisted Fitness is a great environment to train and make new friends!
