Fords is the best gym in have never gone to. Great vibs and great people.
Was a member here for a year and a half. Only reason I left was because I moved. Overall, I really enjoyed my time there. It was like a small community and it was always good to see Ford every afternoon. It has just about everything you need, plus boxing if you’re into that. Plenty of squat racks to go around which I was thankful for.
I previously had a membership for 2 years. I enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of my workouts. The gym has equipment for lifting, boxing, and some treadmills. The owner and staff are so kind. It was a pleasure to be a member. I could not continue due to moving out of Madison.
Fantastic gym!! Very clean, with comprehensive work out areas both downstairs and up. The staff are also very helpful and nice.
I have been a member of Ford's gym (and its predecessor Muscles and Fitness) for more than 30 years. It is an old school gym that has everything one needs to get in shape and stay in shape. The owner, Ford, is one of a kind. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and know his way around the weight room. They other staff are all top of the line, helpful, and always willing to give advice and share their knowledge.
