I was just here for a few minutes to check it out, but the facility is huge and filled with plenty of equipment. Looked great. Not sure how crowded it gets at peak times.

Very clean gym that has every thing you need including a relaxing sauna. I do like the classes that are offered as well, great variety. Would appreciate a more flexible membership plan but understand why they have it structured the way they do.

Good sized gym - equipment is being updated constantly. The pool is nice, locker rooms are sizable and accommodating. A great fitness center that is always well lit and inviting for a variety of activities or experience levels.

Cons: The weights need to be cleaned more - went to pick up dumbbells and noticed lots of hair/dust/ fingernails under neath them.

The gym has a very nice selection of equipment. I really enjoy the yoga sessions. The two week free trial is an excellent chance to try the Princeton experience.

I have been a member since before the gym was built. It is the best gym I have belonged to (quite a few so far).
The best part is that offer Les Mills group fitness classes. But also the facility, management and customer service.
Jenn - the gym manager is awesome!

Love the trainers and people there. Small family feel with all the stuff at the bigger gym!

I love this place. Childcare for free with membership, and they have lots of fun options for kids in that room. Cardio equipment is solid (not as many machines as the West location), plus a women's only workout room which I find I like to use. It's pretty chill and a great option. Upstairs are 3 different group fitness rooms, cycle, group fitness, and a meditation room. They have meditative group classes apparently. Sounds awesome haven't been but I'd like to try. Plus my favorite idea: cardio cinema. They have a darkened movie theatre playing a movie on a big screen that you can watch while you jog, cycle, or elliptical. Such a cool idea. They post the schedule.

I started coming to the Princeton Club around February of 2018. This was right at about the time that Princeton acquired the old Gold's Gym location. The Princeton Club is a great facility with friendly staff who always great you with a smile coming to and from your workout. As long as I am in Madison, I will be a Princeton Club member.

I was a previous gold's gym member and I am really liking the direction that the Princeton club is going.

Princeton Club has allowed far too many people to join, and it has become so packed that I can no longer get my full workouts in. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for a gym membership until they get this figured out.

I also tried to cancel my membership based on this situation, and Princeton Club was not accommodating or helpful in any way. I was not able to cancel my membership, so unless you are 100% confident that you want to stay with them no matter how things might change, you should look for another gym.

I have been attending this gym for roughly 4-5 years, starting from when it was a Gold's Gym. During this time, the gym had started to decline as equipment was always broken, locker rooms torn apart, and general uncleanliness. With the buyout from Princeton Club, I had high hopes this would all change. While some good updates have been made, such as clearing more space on the second floor for equipment, fixing lockers, and staying open 24/7, the gym itself is a poor broken mess. Why does it take 4+ months to fix a leg extension machine? Why are 3/5 stairmaster machines broken? You better bring some chalk if using a barbell since all the bars have been worn down to point their smooth. The gym itself is now crazy busy during the peak hours. If you're trying to lift in the weight room and are looking to either deadlift, benchpress, or squat...you're going to be waiting a while. Don't worry though, if you're a woman you can head over to the wasted space that's "Lady Golds" while the rest of the members awkwardly herd together in the weight room. Or you can always hop on one of the 200 treadmills that you're paying $50+ month for.

Moral of the story, if you're an avid weightlifter, find a different gym. If you're a cardio kind of person, save yourself some cash and find a smaller or cardio focused gym such as Planet Fitness.

Kids are not allowed in the hot tub which i appreciate.

Preferred the gym when it was Gold's, but the staff is friendly, and they have gotten some new equipment.

The staff is one amazing team of individuals that make everything work very well together..

Has a lot to offer.

I've only ever gone once, but it's lovely! The way the layout is set up is interesting, but the most important thing to me is how much space is in the bathroom (because I usually workout and then have to change clothes for somewhere else I need to be) and it's perfect! Counter space and everything is great. And they're selection of workout equipment is pretty broad, as well. 5 stars from me for sure :)

This is by far my very favorite Princeton Club Express. They have everything you need and it's very clean

Be nice if they actually unlocked the guest entrance when it's supposed to be open. Also, does anyone answer the phone here?

Well maintained good equipment I've got a full membership to use at all of the Princeton clubs but this is the one I go to the most also the most convenient

Nice space for a quick workout. Despite its smaller size I can always get the machine I want.

So far, I'm loving it. Nice place to work out very clean and very friendly staff. Staff is always working to keep the place clean and has a cheery attitude.
