I moved here in July and immediately knew I wanted to get a good gym membership. After taking advantage of all the free week trials, Capital Fitness was without a doubt the best gym in Madison.
It's clean, it has all the equipment I could want, and classes are included in the membership. I typically go before work at 5am, so I don't ever have to wait for equipment. The underground parking is great, especially in the winter. The staff is super friendly and helpful (even first thing in the morning) and try to know a lot of the members. It's big enough that it doesn't feel crowded, but small enough that you feel like you're really a part of the Capital family.
My job requires a lot of travel and Capital Fitness is always my favorite thing to come home to.
