I am one of the several females who do jiu jitsu here. The classes are VERY safety-focused and they ease you in as gradually as possible. Whether you want to just roll in class, want to compete, or want to further your training, everyone is treated with respect and patience. I mostly roll with guys and they tend to be helpful and considerate. There is a fun “team” atmosphere and Mark, Sonya, and Mike really know how to teach well. Also the price is reasonable for what is offered. I know people from Beloit and the Dells that drive just to train here. It’s an awesome gym, and I feel like I “belong”.

Twisted Fitness is one of a kind. The community is supportive, the owners are welcoming, and the facility is best in class. The facility has top of the line equipment that is well maintained, and the gym is always clean. No matter what you are training for, you’ll be able to meet your goals here. I cannot recommend this gym enough.

The facility is top shelf and the people make this the best gym around. The culture of respect and hard work is cultivated by the coaches and staff, and supported by all teammates. What a great place to get after it!

This is the best gym with the best staff in Madison, and it isn't even close. Whether you want to train combat sports, crossfit, or just do your own fitness training it is a cut above the rest. The facility is incredible, and no matter how many people are training it never feels crowded.I have been training jiu jitsu and weight training the past few years and am thankful for the entire staff their, and especially Mark and Mike with the jiu jitsu classes. Thank you, and see you at noon!

When I moved to Madison I was worried I wouldn’t find a gym that compared to the one I left behind. Instead I found something even better. This gym is incredible, the owners and staff are amazing, and the opportunities to explore different areas of fitness that I’d never imagined trying make this place truly a one of a kind gym. Twisted Fitness is my happy place in Madison.

This is the coolest gym anywhere and I love the staff and the patrons. I learned a lot here. You're crazy not to sign up, if you love combat sports and weightlifting. If I hadn't lost my job and needed to move away, I'd be a member for life.

There are countless things I love about being a member at Twisted Fitness.The variety of offerings (Jiu Jitsu, CrossFit, Muay Thai, Strongman, Olympic lifting and more) is excellent. The variety and quality of equipment is spectacular and provides all you need to get in great shape and grow your athletic abilities. There is even a physical therapist, and massage therapists, who offer services in the gym.The community is unmatched. I have never had such a positive experience at a gym. I feel like I can truly be myself and be a beginner in areas like Jiu Jitsu, and I'm treated with the utmost respect and kindness. The members are not cliquey, like you find at some gyms, which makes it very easy to get to know people. Everyone is there to get better, and encourage others to be better. The owners, Mark and Sonja, have built the culture at Twisted Fitness and are truly fantastic people to learn from and talk to.The gym is always very very clean, and everything down to the food and drink offerings, the merch/store area, and complimentary towels, make the experience of training at Twisted Fitness even that much better.10/10 recommend checking out this gem of a gym.

I adore Twisted Fitness. After nearly 2 years of routine attendance, I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone. I joined for the BJJ and (somewhat reluctantly) started the morning CrossFit class, which is now a staple in my week. The variety of humans who attend classes is lovely, and I do feel like the gym is my second home. I adore the coaches and professors and feel like I've grown so much since starting here. It's a clean, beautiful space and the owners prioritize safety and community in a way I've never experienced at another gym. I love the access to different classes and educational opportunities. It's also great that they have in house massage and PT. I can't speak highly enough about my time at Twisted Fitness.

The people and facilities at this gym are overall pretty great.But I feel like I need to leave a review as a member of the trans community because this place has been a bit of a struggle for me. I transitioned while going to this gym. I don't believe the owners or staff have anything against trans folks, but I also feel like the trans, non-binary community is not considered in the making and running of this place.There are only two locker room/bathrooms. If there was just a single, all-gender restroom, I would feel considerably more comfortable, but there is not. Instead, I have to use either locker room, both of which I have issues with. And while no gym members have confronted me yet for my gender, I have a lot of fear of the very small outspoken minority that may try to harm me. The coaches and staff have misgendered me many times over the months of my transition, sometimes in front of class, which is a very difficult situation for me to address. Again, I don't think they mean any harm. But it's clear the type of people who go here are not very experienced or exposed to the trans community.If you are trans, transitioning or non-binary, you may end up having to get over initial and continuous hurdles to go to class or use the facilities. If you are cis, this place is excellent - read the other reviews. Oh, and make sure you read all the fine print on the contract before you sign.

I have been going for about 3 months now. Amazing facility. Staff is super helpful. I have not been doing BJJ as much as I would like thus far but plan to change that as the times I have gone have been great. Everything about this gym is spot on.

The staff at Twisted Fitness is amazing. The facility is top notch and is impeccably clean at all times. The Alliance BJJ team has so many great coaches and put the safety of everyone as a top priority. Great community, great tean.
