From the reviews
I've been with Twisted Fitness for 4 years, and it's been a tremendously good impact on my life. The coaches are great, the students are great, the facility is great. Whether you're interested in competition, or just fun, this is an excellent place to train.
I have been training at twisted fitness for 13 months now. This is by FAR the best gym in Madison. Professor Mark and Sonya are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and dedicated to their passions of fitness and martial arts. The new facility has everything you would want in a gym and more.
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.
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.
New to muay thai? Start at Twisted Fitness Gym
Twisted Fitness Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Twisted Fitness Gym
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
