I love the positive, open atmosphere at Pat's Gym. As a runner, I was worried I would not fit in. NothIng could be further from my experience. All abilities and types of athletes are welcome here.
In addition to the invigorating atmosphere at the gym, Pat's coaching has helped keep me strong and injury free as I continue into my 60's.

Pat’s Gym has changed my mentality of how to workout. Though classes and programs I’ve taken at Pat’s Gym I’ve learned how to workout to become stronger, fuel my body, and get the results I’ve wanted. I’ve also made lifelong friends along the way. It’s a wonderful environment that I really value.

Pat’s gym is one of my favorite places. I began training with Roza almost a year ago to learn olympic weightlifting moves. Not only have I seen a huge improvement in my weightlifting technique, my over all strength and endurance have increased more than I would have thought in this time. Roza is responsive, adapting training methods for me after illness or when I am traveling, and I know that each workout is getting my closer to my goals.
Additionally, there is a wonderful community at the gym. People are helpful with technique when asked, with helping set up new exercises for the first time, and offering encouragement on difficult days. Couldn’t ask for a better place to work toward my goals!

I’ve been going to Pat’s Gym for many years and I love it! I am part of a corporate class and the trainers get to know each and every one of us. They know how to push us individually but also bring us together as a team to push each other. I’ve learned how to use weights, both dumbbells and barbells. Something I was scared of before going there. Each class is different and you will never get bored. I’ll say it again….I love going to Pat’s Gym!

My experience at Pats has been very rewarding. In 4 months I have gone from feeling weak in certain areas to feeling stronger as a whole. I still have work to do, but feel great. Thanks Ross.
From day one you will find that Pats has a very welcoming vibe. The training styles are tailored to you and your needs. You are surrounded by hard work, smiles, laughs and results. Thanks Pats family.

I first start going to Pat's in 2018 as part of a program offered by the company I work for. Some of my coworkers, including my husband were already attending these corporate classes and I've heard a lot of positive reviews. At the beginning it was hard for me because I've never been regular to any gym, and I don't really like working out although I value its importance for my health. The incentive and support from the peers and instructors were what kept me going to Pat's on a regular basis. Roza and Gretchen understood my physical limits, but more important my mental limits and helped me push when I would probably just take it easy, (without getting to the tipping point). My family and friends started making quite a few comments about my muscle gains and how I looked stronger. (I've always been skinny and small so it was very surprising for people to see the improvements). Pat's Gym is a great place for any level and goals you want to achieve.

As an Ironman triathlete, I've spent most of my past focusing on getting lean for endurance, but Pat's workouts have helped me become so much stronger and physically well balanced for everything in my very active lifestyle. I've been attending group workouts for quite a few years because of how much energy and camaraderie the instructors create. Workouts are never the same, and instructors always help with modifications if you have any limitations or are nursing an injury. Definitely my favorite gym I've ever been to!

Pat’s Gym is Great! I am not a diehard athlete like many others that workout there, but Roza & Luke have been fantastic to work with! It’s hard to find someone who understands the right amount of when to push it and when to ease back with me! Highly recommended!

I've been working with Pat on his online program for the last few months now and I have nothing to say but wow. I have yet to do the same workout twice and the workouts are always fun (and brutal in a great way.) When I first spoke to Pat over the phone he asked what my goals were. I told him that I wanted to look cut and build lean muscle mass and that everything I've tried has not worked thus far. His response- "If you follow my workout plans and my diet plan, you will get that look that you've been looking for." As the evidence shows, he was right. In just a few short months, I have both built lean muscle mass and cut that stubborn fat that has sat around my waistline for years. YEARS. I have changed my eating habits for the better. I feel better, I feel stronger, I am faster, and I am overall sharper in my day to day activities outside of the gym.
I live in California so I am limited to the online training but that said, it has not limited my progress in the least bit. Pat is incredibly communicative, flexible, and if I have a question, he answers it within minutes (I found this communication to be incredibly helpful and a testament to the fact that he loves what he is doing.) His passion for your health and wellness only inspires and drives you to look forward to what is to come day after day.
What's more is his nutrition plans are all very tasteful and don't leave you feeling like you are dieting, which over time helps lead to an overall change of lifestyle rather than a "diet" that doesn't end up lasting in the long run. He knows how to keep it fresh and exciting.
I really couldn't recommend Pat's Gym enough to anyone, in state or out of state. Pat's Gym will take care of you and give you amazing results if you put the work in. 5 out of 5 stars in every aspect. I love this program and cannot wait to continue and see what else I am able to unlock with my fitness.

Pat is unlike any other trainer. Doing online coaching you get your own personal workouts that help you keep progressing. Just when you think you have tried all of the movements he will throw a new one in the mix! Which can easily be looked up in his exercise library online. Making sure that your workouts are always different and challenging. Not to mention if you need adjustments he is always just a call/text/email away. Very quick to respond.

He will help you prepare for fitness goals like a long run or triathlon, or just feel better and embrace living your life.

I do personal training with Gretchen at Pat’s Gym and it’s been amazing! She pushes me both mentally and physically and I’ve gotten stronger from working with her. As a retired D1 athlete, I wanted to have a gym that would help me reach my goals, work with me through injuries, and have a team atmosphere. Pat’s does all of that. The staff and athletes are incredibly friendly and positive too. If you’re looking for challenging workouts that keep you on your toes or a place to reach your fitness goals, this is it!

Want to know three things you will always find at Pat's Gym? Variety, knowledge and consistency. No two workouts are the same, the coaches are very knowledgeable on overall health and fitness, and results come from showing up and putting in the work. I have been coming to Pat's Gym for 5+ years now and have come to appreciate their philosophy: No fad diets/pills, just good old fashioned hard work. Come give it a try!

I've attended at least 500 group classes at Pat's Gym over the last 6 years through their corporate program and every single class is led by a coach who genuinely cares about me and challenges me. Not a single day is the same, leading to an all-around health I can't get from any other program. Whether I'm running a 5K, going skiing, hiking, or just helping a friend move, I'm confident in my abilities to do anything physical in a way I never was before. Pat's Gym is awesome!

This is the best place to train in Madison. I’d argue one of the best places in the state and probably the Midwest. It’s hard to find training that is more personalized and goal specific. The combination of creativity and expertise in both fitness and nutrition can propel you to your next level if you are already an athlete, or help reach one of your first fitness goals if you are a beginner.

Pat’s has been a place that goes well beyond anything I’ve ever been apart of. They have built a community that challenges its members to find the best in themselves and continue to improve it.
There is no such thing as a plateau or lack of motivation as you’re taken out of your comfort zone to progress in your goals and take on new challenges. I can definitely say it never gets easier as you simply work on other opportunities.
Great people, amazing hands on coaching and a wonderful space with all pieces of equipment needed.
Thankful for this space.

I’ve been at Pat’s gym for over 9 years. With a mix of classes, personal training and online training I have a broad scope of what this gym has to offer. It’s a wonderful community with an amazing leader. Pat has helped me reach goals in my fitness I didn’t think were possible. The online training was a life saver during the pandemic. Pat’s knowledge base allows him to provide personalized programs for a wide range of individuals and I would encourage anyone on the fence to go ahead and take the plunge. You won’t regret it!

Big fan of Pat's Gym! I started going to the online sessions and outdoor Friday sessions at the end of summer 2020, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The trainers at Pat's are so kind and helpful explaining the goals and workout for the day, and i felt so much stronger mentally and physically the longer i attended. I stopped going due to moving cities, but would urge anyone in the Madison area to look to Pat's as their gym/trainers of choice!

Until you have actually worked with a professional trainer, you cannot truly appreciate the difference from going it alone. I have worked with both Pat and Rosa for over two years and highly recommend them both. I currently subscribe to the online training. While physical fitness is a lifelong process, results are quickly achieved from the program. Great place, great people, highly recommended.

I worked with Pat for about a year before heading off to play college football. Pat greatly helped me in gaining the strength to be ready for the challenge. The workouts, technique, and mental toughness taught by Pat allowed me to be ahead of the curve when I got to school. Pat's Gym was and still feels like family. Whether it is private coaching or group workouts, I couldn't recommend Pat's Gym more!

I started working with Pat in 2017 during my senior year of college. Since then, he has helped me get on a consistent workout and nutrition regimen and see continuous results. He provides amazing support through online coaching and I never get bored of the workouts. Working with Pat had been a great way to challenge myself over the last 5 years.

I came across Pat’s gym from Lululemon’s sweat community and a friend who advised me to try a class out. I loved it since then, workouts always push me to be better - physically and mentally. You can train cardio or strength, there’s plenty of equipment or classes offered. But the coaches and gym members “athletes” are the reason I continued to come back. It became a fun environment to visit friends for a challenging sweat session. Everyone is welcoming and brings a competitive side from one another.

I have been training at Pat’s gym for the last couple of months and it has been an amazing journey. Everyone there is so supportive and knowledgeable, which makes it the perfect environment for great workouts. The workouts are challenging but fun! I like that every time I go in for my personal training sessions I am doing something different. They really listen to your goals and work with you. Also I can not speak highly enough about everyone that works there. They are incredibly welcoming and you immediately feel comfortable there. As someone who would get a little gym shy in the past, that has not been an issue for me here. If you’re looking to invest in your self and your health I would highly recommend going to Pat’s gym.

I started working with Pat via online coaching about 5 years ago while rehabbing from an injury, and have stuck around because I absolutely love it. While it is an investment, you truly get what you pay for: through online coaching I get customized workouts for each day, and the variety is really helpful for staying motivated - I have never done the same workout twice. I share my schedule with Pat each week and he's able to work around my schedule, which includes irregular work hours and frequent work travel, and writes workouts based on what gym access or equipment I anticipate having. He can also customize workouts based on your overall fitness goals, or to target a particular competition. Finally, he's very responsive - if I reach out with a question, I typically hear back in a few minutes, almost always within an hour or two.
The gym itself is very utilitarian (no mirrors, no TVs, no nonsense) but is always clean, with well-maintained and varied equipment. The gym really is a little community, and it is great to come in each day and chat a bit with friends before getting to work. It truly is a welcoming environment for all types, spanning from high-level athletes to those who are just trying to get back into a workout routine, and teens to retired folks - as long as you're ready to work hard, you'll fit in.

At 63 I am one of the oldest members you will see at Pat's Gym. I started working out there in 2013 (8 years ago), as part of a corporate sponsored program. A core group of about 10 of us went 5 days a week from 2013 until CoVid forced the shutdowns. Every one of us made substantial gains in strength, endurance, body composition, and aerobic capacity.
The competition and comradery of a group class at Pat's is fantastic. Everyone encourages and challenges each other in these and the friendly competition forces you to push yourself even harder. These functional fitness classes are designed so anyone, at any level of fitness, can both do the workout and make gains. If you're just staring out you may use lighter weights, go at a slower pace, or do fewer repetitions; as you're fitness improves you increase one or all of these.
My wife and I also used Pat's online training programs, customized for each of us based on our goals. Since the corporate group workouts covered my general fitness goals, Pat setup a program to concentrate on maximizing my performance on the SkiErg, from Concept 2. This focused program helped me to improve my performance to the point that I now hold the world records in the over 60 age group for the 500, 1,000, and 2,000 meter events.
You can't go wrong signing up for any of the training options Pat offers.

Been lucky to find excellent coaches and trainers each time we moved. Pat's Gym during our stay in Madison is truly the best of the best. We loved working with Gretchen and really any of their coaching staff. The programming is excellent, thoughtful, and tailored. It got me in the best shape ever and ready to race, and this just months after having a baby in my 40's. Also, a wonderful group of people, both the staff and athletes they train. Truly an inspiring and supportive community.

As a runner, I began struggling with little injuries and discomfort in my joints at 25. I started online training with Pat with the intention of learning how to increase my overall fitness to combat the imbalances I was experiencing, but never expected that I would commit to training in the gym long-term. Working with Pat and being part of the Pat's gym community changed that expectation completely- the physical and mental growth I experienced after joining the gym was incredible, and I couldn't stop :) After almost a year of training, my overall fitness has improved dramatically. I credit Pat's amazing skill in motivating, challenging, and tailoring workouts to my needs (he helped me stay on track while I was abroad with no access to a gym for 3 months) for this, and am so grateful! 100% recommend.

Online training with Pat Gilles is nothing less than incredible. I’ve been a member of Pat’s Gym for over three years. I started with in-person training and eventually transitioned to online training with Pat. Pat has challenged me in ways that I never knew were possible. Pat’s method keeps me engaged while pushing me out of my comfort zone. As a coach, not only is Pat a proven expert in the field, he is also creative, supportive, and kind. It’s clear that Pat truly loves what he does and has gone above and beyond to help me realize what I am capable of physically and mentallly. No matter if I’m at the gym, traveling or at home, Pat takes pride in programming to my needs. I highly recommend online training at Pat’s Gym and am honored to have Pat as my coach.
