I am almost two months into being a member at the Monkey Bar Gym. It has been an incredible journey thus far, particularly the combination of base class with a strong emphasis on alignment and body awareness, paired with strength training classes. The trainers are highly knowledgable in technique, skilled in coaching, and enthusiastic! Feeling stronger and more energetic with each day of training! Jon's and Jess' expertise and enthusiasm for what they do are unmatched!

MBG is a great place to get into shape. The staff was helpful and supportive when I first started on my journey to be more healthy. They provided easy dietary guidelines and great workouts that I was able to adjust as my fitness level changed.

Extremely knowledgeable and caring owners and training staff. Supportive community of members. Highly effective programing to improve nutrition, aches and pains, strength and conditioning.

You can develop a "live with" program that allows you to continuously improve yourself and increase your own understanding of fitness.

Not some macho type of place at all, just a great place to work out according to your needs and abilities. I love it here and the folks who help run it. If you are thinking about functional fitness, plant based nutrition and just being better all around. I don't think there is a better gym anywhere.

I had an opportunity to train with Jess a few years ago. Her body awareness and ability to teach concepts won me over. I've been following online for the last few years, and just this year had the chance to drop in to Madison. The way Jon catered to a room full of varied bodies was inspiring. Great coaching, fun movements and genuinely good people.

Until joining Monkey Bar Gym, I only worked out at traditional gyms where you'd show up and run on the treadmill or hopefully make one of their aerobics classes in the afternoon. There was nothing exciting about it and was a boring routine. Monkey Bar Gym is far from boring. The owners are great to work with and extremely knowledgeable. They actually care and want to help you improve/achieve your goals. The classes challenge you and will make you stronger. If you're looking for a new gym to join, this one wont disappoint.

Started in 2011 with a 60 Day Challenge and have been hooked ever since. I go through times where I lose motivation, but whenever I come back, I notice the results and positive changes almost immediately. Great staff and a great environment to train.

Best gym in Madison! Jon and crew are amazing motivators, the classes are challenging, yet adapted to each person with three intensity levels to match your ability. The small gym atmosphere cannot be beat, and makes getting healthy more than just moving weights back and forth.

The best gym! Great training with a focus on education and meeting people where they're at. When I started I had to have many of the exercises modified to meet my strength, (I was thin, and had very little muscle mass or knowledge of the exercises) and was so grateful to be lead through different levels as I gained more muscle, ability, and confidence. I've recently moved out of Madison, WI but carry the things I learned at MBG into my current workouts. It's the best investment I made in my health!

The staff is tops and the owners Jon and Jessie are an inspiration. I recommend this gym to all my Madison friends!

I have been a part of Monkey bar for 2 months now and have never been happier in a gym setting. If you are dedicated and motivated you will see results fast. The staff is very friendly and encouraging. I loveeeee this place!!

I like the personal attention and care you get here. The trainers are always willing to help and would look for alternative exercises for those who need them.

I've been training here for a little over 1 year now. The class-style workouts really help me stay motivated and the trainers have been great. There are classes that focus on building strength, high intensity interval workouts, stability/mobility and Eischens yoga. You will also see some crossover, with the yoga, for example, popping up in ways you might not expect.
