I was just visiting but had a great workout on an anaerobic day! Mel introduced me to everything before we got started and provided coaching along the way. The circuit was challenging and the music was great. They provided plenty of weights and want you to go as hard as you can.

Love this gym, trainers are the best. Expensive but if you can afford it it’s worth it. I struggle getting bored at gym and have bad ADHD, but the classes are always mixed up which keeps it interesting (plus I can’t psych myself out dreading what’s to come ahead of time). Had to cancel membership for personal reasons but this was my fave spot and hoping I can return eventually!

After two years of barely working out I was finally ready to get back in the gym. A friend of mine has been addicted to this gym. I was lucky enough to get to participate in their June special, giving me this month for free.
I cannot say enough positive things about the trainers and the crew that go here. Classes are full of variety, form focused, and push your limits every single time. The trainers are extremely present and ready to help without making you feel awkward or like you are doing something "wrong."
The crew that participate here are so welcoming and seem genuinely proud of each person for showing up and pushing themselves. Whatever you all are doing...keep doing it.

I stumbled into this gym looking for a new gym home in January and was given the remaining month for free. I've been a fitness instructor for almost a decade so my bar is pretty high. I quickly fell in love with the MAD formats and instructors/trainers. I ended up signing up for a monthly membership and truly enjoy going 3-4x a week most weeks. The weekly and yearly programming is smart, clearly laid out, and easy to understand. While I've found the "D" format to be my favorite, the M and A have grown on me and I see their purpose. I also really like that they incorporate "striking" or boxing into their classes as well as the echo bike, skierg, and rowerg machines which I had not had the privilege of using before. Great variety to keep things exciting. They keep me coming back for more! Give them a try, your first class is FREE!

I really enjoyed my workouts. I went to both the north and south location and oh trainers were very friendly and encouraging. They make a point to clearly explain the workout and correct your form if needed. Great workout class for those look for strength training and a group workout environment.

Super dope gym. Went as a first timer (Black Friday Deal - Hell Yeah!) and was super impressed with the gym, coach (Casey) and most importantly the workout. Entering a new gym or space can be unnerving (a sprinkle intimidating) anywhere and anytime but MADabolic (South Austin) did NOT have the gym-bro-elite vibes, at all. The movements and stations are challenging and rewarding. The methodology of MADabolic is based on research that I can’t quote (read website for all that detail) but I know the workout is intentional and well thought-out. Coach explained stations, good warmup and then we worked 🔥. Good music, atmosphere, workout and surrounded by people both “in the zone” and encouraging. Can’t wait to go back and try all the different style classes. Try an intro, take advantage of a deal and see if it’s a fit! No need to be in perfect shape or condition. MADabolic is good for the new-comer and workout-all-the-time type person.

I was feeling intimidated to begin working out again after a very LONG break, but a friend recommended I try MAD and I’m so glad I did. I love that each class is structured differently to ensure you’re working all your muscle groups and it’s impossible to get bored from repetition. And the class size is small enough to accommodate for personalized assistance from the instructors throughout the workouts without feeling like you’re under a spotlight. Both the staff and the entire MAD community have been extremely welcoming and encouraging, and they facilitate a lot of fun social gatherings for their members as well. I’m about half way through my second month now and loving it! You should definitely give MAD a try too - can’t wait to see you there!

I absolutely love MADABOLIC! As an on and off basic gym goer for the last 3 years, I needed a change but still wanted to make sure weights stay incorporated and this program does just that. All of the trainers are amazing and super helpful in getting your form right. 10/10 recommend.

Worthy of 10 stars! I’m a chronic exercise and gym quitter because I have no experience, don’t know what to do, and don’t know how to do it. MAD takes all the thinking out of it. I joined 2 weeks ago and have already been to 8 classes because all you have to do is show up.
Every trainer is a pro and every class is varied and challenging with a tailored warm-up. Trainers—and more experienced members—correct form to prevent injury.
I am a words of affirmation girlie, and I feel so supported and motivated by the staff and community here to be my best self. Really happy I found this place. Try it out! First class is free!

I first started going to MADabolic in 2019 in DC and Northern Virginia and when I moved back to Texas two years ago, of course I signed up at the Austin location (typically go to the South location).
This gym is THE BEST! I really appreciate that the coaches get to know everyone on a personal level, watch form, and care about technique. It's not about cranking out the movements but actually completing them in a thoughtful way. And because they know us, they know when to push us and bring heavier weights (good and bad lol).
I'll also say it's like a chosen family in the way everyone looks out for each other and other small, local, businesses. I've made wonderful friends. This vibe is definitely my tribe!

I've been going to MAD for five years and it's the best gym experience I have had. The workouts are efficient—get in, get fit, get on with your day. The programming offers a great balance.
Big shoutout to the original crew — Jon, Casey, and Ryan. These folks are amazing and make you feel like a part of the family from day one. The new trainers are great additions to the team as well! If you're looking to change up your fitness routine, this is the place.

I visited this gym through ClassPass. I thought the setup and class formats were pretty solid for functional movement and strength training. The problem with this gym is the ownership however. The owner, Jon, is a used car salesman at best. I met him my first visit and he acted like he was thrilled I was there. After a couple ClassPass visits I started to get nearly daily texts from the owner asking me to join. When I politely told the owner I needed yoga and other less impactful forms of workout to keep up my flexibility, etc… and that I would rather keep using ClassPass, he wouldn’t accept that. He told me they would be eliminating ClassPass shortly and I needed to make a decision on whether to join. I then got hit with constant promotional offers and signup requests for the next couple of weeks. When I again politely declined, he didn’t remove MADabolic from ClassPass, he just blocked me personally from being able to signup. He then had the audacity to continue to send me promotional texts months later. The last time i saw him at his gym he didn’t so much as acknowledge me. I thought I was alone in this till I mentioned it in conversation to a friend of mine. She had nearly the same experience. Decent gym. Obnoxious, fake car salesman as an owner.

Leadership has worked hard to create an environment that welcomes and challenges people! Love it here.

MADabolic is one of the best gyms if not THE BEST! I love the program they follow, very well organized. The workouts are different and a challenge everyday. You get a feeling of accomplishment after each workout and you want to do it again the next day. Love how they combine cardio and strength. Perfect for any age or body type. The trainers Ryan, Kasey and Jon are very knowledgeable of the program from beginning to end. They are very helpful and ATTENTIVE of the forms and movement of each person. They really want you to improve and they don’t overkill you. MADabolic is the true definition of quality over quantity. It is my favorite gym and I really recommend it to everyone.

I’ve been a member of MADabolic since 2018. What keeps me coming back you ask? A few things, first is the trainers - they care about everyone that walks through those MAD doors. They stress quality over quantity, proper form/mechanics, and will help you to meet whatever fitness goals you’re seeking. Plus they add some friendly competition here and there. Second thing is the community they’ve built. It’s the best! I’ve met so many amazing people I’ve lost count. Lifelong friendships made! Trust the positive reviews and come check out MAD for yourself!

I cant say enough good things about Mad. I’ve been a member for 5 years now with almost 1200 classes under my belt and am still challenged in every single class, no plateaus here. The coaches are super supportive and truly care about you as a person and an athlete. I recently had my first baby and worked out at Mad (safely) until the day before I gave birth! The team has been just as supportive in my postpartum journey as they were when I was working out pregnant. This gym has built an amazing community of badass people. Love all of the recent additions of more clinics, workshops, 5ks, social events, etc. An awesome way to meet people, especially if you are new to Austin!

I joined MADabolic in 2020 and it’s been one of the best decisions and best investments I’ve ever made. The coaches, training programs and members are truly unmatched.
I’m usually always 10-15 minutes early for every class, partly as I’m one of those weirdos with the mindset “If I’m on time, I’m late! But also, these people are just awesome so if you get a little bonus time to hang out, it’s a double win!
I LOVE that after all the years, I still get the same amazing coaching and corrections (sometimes with some friendly side eye across the room!) and encouragement to do my best.
This community has become my rock in Austin and I’m a stronger and better person because of this place.

I started at MADabolic in April 2021. I came with a friend and stayed because of the trainers, classes and community. I am not a fan of working out yet I find myself on my 3rd year here loving the strength and progress I continue to see in myself. The trainers are not only passionate about what they do but they are all amazing humans. You are constantly challenged in ways that both humble you and push you. I am at my best physically due to hard work along with their genuine support. This is a gym where you work hard, play hard, and build lasting friendships in the community. 10/10 will always recommend, refer and continue to support! Love the MAD family!

As someone who used to dread gym sessions, I now eagerly anticipate my workouts at MAD. Thank you to the entire team and member for cultivating such an amazing community!

I became a member of MAD gym back in 2017 and let me tell you, it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. This gym is in a league of its own, thanks to its unwavering focus on proper form and technique. The instructors here - John, Ryan, Kasey, Leilanni, Alesha, Nathan, Jason, Mel, and Ilse - are the real deal. They are experts in their field and they are on a mission to help each and every member achieve their fitness goals safely and effectively.
One thing that sets MAD gym apart from the rest is that the instructors practice what they preach. They join in on the classes and work out with us. This creates a sense of camaraderie and motivation that I have never experienced before. The gym has small class sizes which ensures that you receive personalized attention to help you use the correct form and get the most out of your workout.
The atmosphere at the gym is nothing short of welcoming and motivating, which makes it easy to stay committed to your fitness journey. The focus on proper technique has helped me improve my strength and flexibility tremendously. I highly recommend MAD gym to anyone who wants to train with the best and be a part of a supportive community - whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned athlete.
And to top it all off, the gym staff does an amazing job at hosting events and get-togethers that are always a blast. So if you're new to the Austin area or just looking to connect with like-minded individuals, MAD gym is the place to be.

I’ve been going to MAD for 3.5 years now and I am definitely hooked. The trainers are all amazing. They correct form so that you’re working safely and also push and hold you accountable when it’s needed. The late arrival and cancellation policy has forced me to make the hour of the day for myself a priority, which I love. The people at MAD are also great and some of my closest friends today are ones I’ve met and workout with at MAD Austin!

Great gym, the owner and trainers really care about fitness and your safety. Yes, you must arrive on time or you will be locked out, its about safety (classes require instruction) and you need to respect everyone else's time (you aren't the only person that matters). If you can't follow that simple concept you have bigger problems in life.

it was an awesome full circuit workout. I felt challenged and not intimidated. The instruction was helpful and supportive.
5 years later returning to update this review. Clearly, I still stand by this place as I am still a member all these years later. I’ve stuck to the programming of 4 workouts/week, and as a result have experienced myself accomplish physical feats I never imagined I’d be capable of when I signed up for my first class in 2017.
At 37, I’ve transformed not just physically but mentally because of this gym, this programming, and these dedicated trainers. In the past 7 years, I’ve been able to take on challenges like 5k’s, 10k’s, 2 marathons & a Spartan super to name a few. My leisure time is now sprinkled with 50 mile bike rides🚴♀️, 20 mile hikes🏞️, and 30 mile pow days🏂 because… I can. I’ve also witnessed my body recover faster from non-workout related injuries all because MAD has made me strong. Trust the programming, respect the system… the results will follow 💪.

Love coming here whenever I visit Austin. As someone who has previously coached at a popular group fitness gym with a “5 minute grace period” I LOVE their firm stance on the late policy. It is a slippery slope when you start allowing people in past the class start time, and it also impacts everyone else in class who was there on time. Be respectful of the policy and if you end up being late, own that it’s not the end of the world and you can take a class another day (:

I’ve been going to MADabolic Austin for 9 months and I wish I had found them sooner!! Finding a gym that I love and am excited about everyday has transformed my fitness journey! As someone who had never lifted weights, the idea of strength training was terrifying. At Mad, I was greeted with accessible weight ranges for beginners with a clear path of heavier weights to work towards as I got stronger! The trainers are friendly, helpful, but hold me accountable during my workouts!
I hit 100 workouts in my first 6 months and have no intention of slowing down!!

After 3 years of membership at Madabolic and over 20 years experience of just about every type of gym and group fitness class available, MADabolic is the best.
In a world of flashy gimmicks and programs that overpromise results, nothing is going to beat consistency and putting in the work over times 4X a week.
Put down your phone, and come to a class at MADabolic South or North and find a positive community with a professional and kind staff that will make sure your form is correct so that you can get progressively stronger.

I was a proud and happy member of MAD in S. Austin for about 3 years before the pandemic and can promise that I wouldn’t have given my money and time to any other business for that long if it wasn’t worth it. Jon, Kasey, and Ryan are not just trainers, they are fitness professionals and athletes who have dedicated (what I assume) an insane amount of time learning and training to always be better. They are literally in classes working out beside you, helping you out when they’re coaching, and being authentically amazing humans the rest of the time. MAD has the rules it does to remain respectful of other member’s time who have signed up and paid for a class that has limited spaces.
That being said, everyone who lives south knows parking at The Yard sucks and it always has, and it probably always will. If you don’t know, now you know. Leave early.
It only takes one time being late to a MAD class to learn your lesson. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

I started working out at MAD pre-pandemic and always had a killer workout there. The owner and coaches are amazing!! Casey and Ryan are so awesome at providing form corrections in a positive and helpful manner - never condescending. I respect how much this place has grown over the years and continues to provide South Austin with a fantastic workout. I’ll definitely be working out here again!!

This is the best gym, hands down! We discovered it a few years ago and then I was away for a while and never found anything like it! I am so happy to be back. The coaches are fantastic and the people are so nice. The coaches are especially supportive of new folks and those of us who need help with our form. I work in San Francisco where sadly there is no MADabolic and I miss it every time I’m gone. The space is also very cool, love the industrial vibes. So glad to be a part of this community. Come join us!!!!

A Game-Changer in Fitness: My Experience at MADabolic
I stumbled upon MADabolic through ClassPass during my quest for a strength training gym that catered to all levels of fitness. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had found something special. The quality of classes is unparalleled; whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, there's something for everyone. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, guiding you through each workout with precision to improve form and push your limits in a safe and effective manner.
What truly sets MAD apart is its inclusive community. From day one, I felt welcomed and encouraged by fellow members who share a passion for strength training. Gone are the days of feeling inadequate; here, everyone is celebrated for their individual progress and achievements.
Joining MADabolic has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I've made on my fitness journey. Not only have I seen improvements in my strength and endurance, but I've also found a second home where I feel supported, motivated, and inspired to become the best version of myself. If you're looking for a gym that's more than just a place to work out – it's a supportive community that empowers you to reach your goals – then look no further than MAD. Trust me, you won't regret it!

LOVE this place! All other Gyms should have as high of standards!! We have been members for over 5 years and compare all other gyms to this one. Every workout is on point! It changes up enough to not be boring and really helps with training your whole body, whether you want to be super fit or just heart healthy! All the trainers know what they are doing and hold you accountable and correct your form. So thankful for MAD team, this gym feels like family. And so thankful they hold you accountable by locking the door at the start of class because it is just RUDE to be late! Worth the drive every time!

I was new to the Austin area and my brother signed me me up for a class with him one day. That was back in November 2023 and I’m about to hit my 50th class! Going to MADabolic is the highlight of my mornings and such a great way to start my day. So thankful for the coaches to help me correct my form and made me actually want to workout instead of being afraid of doing something wrong and being judged. Love MADabolic so much!

MAD changed my life. I was never a gym rat nor had I ever touched a kettlebell in my life. After trying the 5 days for $5, I was hooked. The trainers make sure you're using proper technique. It really is like you signed up for a personal trainer but at a way lower cost.
11/10, A++++, would recommend.

Love MAD, originally did a class through class pass which then lead me to joining the gym. I joined because I’m a bit new to strength training, and wanted a bit of direction and they provided exactly that. From correcting form to preventing injury all the way to altering workouts to suit the journey you are on fitness wise. The gym events that are always happening so everyone can be connected as a whole across locations is really impressive and awesome. Overall I’ve been with MAD for about a month now and have throughly enjoyed my experience, I’m mentally and physically stronger as a whole from joining and I recommend others do as well

While I’ve never set foot here specifically, I’ve been a MAD member at another location for 5 1/2 years so I can vouch for how good the programming is and how incredibly important it is to be on time, every single time. Somehow, in my 5+ years I’ve never been locked out. As a fellow business owner, I agree that the customer is sometimes NOT right and does need to learn to respect the rules. I really want to just push Allison’s garbage review below into the Ski Erg on the 6th cycle of today’s work out. I hope she learns that the world doesn’t revolve around her and that if she continues to have that expectation, she’s going to be ridiculously disappointed.
Stay MAD, folks.

Coaches are the best here! They greet you with a smile everytime you walk thru the door. Also, they keep you motivtated through out the whole session.
Very easy platform to use to schedule your week, and the pricing is very reasonable for me.
I feel when I go to the gym by myself, it's a waste of time. When I come here, it goes so smoothly and before I know it, I am finished and leave feeling great!!
I'm excited to continue coming to this gym, and establishing more friendships here.

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a local gym near me. I had never really been to a gym before and was nervous to start but could not have found a better place. The trainers, and even all the other members couldn’t be more supportive and collaborative. They’ve built an amazing culture and community here that is just unparalleled. I was worried about starting out from scratch but they have been so helpful every step of the way, and even the most seasoned people are breathing just as hard as the next person so felt super comfortable. Definitely give it a try if you’re on the fence !

I've been a Madabolic member since 2019 and this is hands down one of the best gyms I've been to. When I first moved to Austin, I was on the hunt for my home gym. Madabolic has become part of my daily routine. I truly look forward to going and I feel so accomplished when I complete a class. I've hit well over 600 classes in the past 4 years! Not only is it a gym, but they have a great community of members that are here to support and encourage you. The coaches are knowledgeable and help you throughout each workout. I highly recommended to pull that trigger and give this gym a try! You won't regret it!

I started at this gym years ago when they first opened. I loved it then and I love it even more so now. The main trainers here Jon, Kasey and Ryan could not be any more kind, knowledgeable and welcoming to everyone. They know their stuff and teach you in a way that you don't feel insecure or out of place. I'm not a gym person at all. I was hesitant to sign up for a membership due to cost and just didn't think I would go. But the workouts are LEGIT. Challenging but also not the same boring exercises over and over. Plus you see results when you put in the work. It's a pretty dang great place :)

MADabolic is a great gym with a mix of workouts that truly work! I have seen some incredible, fast results through working with MADabolic. The South location is spacious and in a cool spot. You will leave the workout feeling stronger than ever then can grab a drink or food nearby. I've tried Orange Theory and F45 but this is a whole new level. The staff is incredible and will help you throughout the workout to make sure you have correct form and are pushing yourself. There are options to make the workouts lighter and I've also seen the muscliest of men walk out spent! Something for everyone. Definitely recommend!

I have had an amazing experience at Madabolic after taking a break from strength/conditioning for a while and working to get back into it. I have tried many different types of exercise, and this has a little bit of everything which makes it so much fun. Every day is different, and my favorite part is learning to box! Just going a couple of days per week is making a huge difference in my strength and cardio and gives me so much energy and motivation. The trainers are so kind and knowledgeable, and it's so much fun to learn and practice all the different movements! Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting variety in their workouts and to be challenged (if you feel like it!)

Everything about this place is 10/10 - the trainers are friendly & so incredibly helpful throughout class; it’s small & allows you to feel more connected to others in your class; & the strength based circuit training & quick intervals make class fly by with maximum benefits! The trainers also provide modifications for each movement so it’s attainable for any skill level. I have mostly avoided strength training for fear I would feel out of place at those gyms but madabolic is so welcoming to everyone! I cannot say enough great things about this gym - you’re missing out if you don’t give it a try :)

Madabolic was exactly what I was looking for. During COVID, I got out of shape and gained lots of bad lbs! I've been going to Madabolic for a month and have already lost 5 lbs and gotten stronger. I feel confident that as I continue to attend classes, I'll get back down to my weight goal. The coaches are really great- they are super helpful and push me at the appropriate time. I've already advanced from white to teal which has given me even more motivation to keep at it. Thanks Mad!

MAD is one of my favorite hours of the day! The workouts are efficient, challenging, organized, and FUN! I've tried quite a few gyms in Austin and committed to a few of them for a time. I've never seen such a dramatic difference in my physique and overall mental commitment to working out since I joined MAD. I tell people about MAD all the time and surprisingly, quite a few of them have shown up to give it a shot! The $5 for 5 days is the easiest pitch I've made! Keep up the hard work and dedication. Y'all's consistency and easy-going personalities really make it a place people can show up however they need to. I appreciate the days I come in and chat, and I appreciate the days I come in just needing to throw a jab. Thank you for everything!

We visited Austin for a few months from Canada - and I cannot say enough good things about my experience at MAD Austin.
The instructors are lovely - Kasey, Jon, and Ryan were so welcoming & so encouraging, they take the time to explain everything properly with a huge focus on form (even the warm-up incorporates practicing the movements you are about to do properly), and the *bomb* music is the cherry on top of the whole experience.
Thank you guys for a short but awesome stay, for teaching me how to do double-unders, and for always being patient with my 5676473 questions about boxing stances.
You make even the most uncoordinated people (like myself) feel so comfortable and capable! I can't wait to visit again in the future.

I’ve been coming to MAD for just about 3 years and it’s literally the best gym I’ve ever experienced. The owner, Jon, and the trainers Kasey and Ryan are legitimately the best of the best and focus on form is prime here. This has allowed me to really build on my foundation and gain long term sustaining strength. I’ve tried basically every boutique gym out there from Pilates/Barre, F45, OTF, and everywhere in between. There is also a whole community of folks ready to guide in a nutrition plan to help capitalize on your food intake and start loving food and your body again.
This is by far the most safe, fun, efficient, (not miserable) training I’ve ever done!
