The HQ Madison — Attraction in McFarland

The HQ truly offers something for everyone, it is absolutely worth checking out no matter what your experience level. The staff are incredible--you get quality training at any fitness level and support working toward your own personal goals. My "mom bod" training isn't viewed as any less important that athletes prepping for a competition. They have a lot of machines and equipment there and the trainers (highly recommend!) will help you figure out what you're doing if you don't have a ton of experience. The support from both the staff and other clients is so genuine, which is different than any other place I've trained before. Everyone authentically wants to be there, which makes it very easy for me to want to be there, too!

The vibes are super positive and I have so much fun while I'm there (but no judgement for anyone who isn't a chatterbox like me--headphone vibes also welcome). I drive from Middleton twice a week without complaint because I always leave the HQ feeling like I got a great workout and an awesome mood boost. (Shout out to my amazing trainer, Jamison, for letting me laugh as much as I lift!)

Thanks to Josh and Jen for creating a space to work really freaking hard and enjoy it! Check it out if you haven't visited already--they make it easy to be member without all the muss and fuss....

I've been going to gyms for about 30 plus years now and HQ Madison is truly one of a kind. Not only do they have a well equipped facility they have the best trainers in all of Madison. But one of the intangibles that separates this gym from all others is the energy from the staff and its members. Everyone is rooting for one another. The energy is contagious. I've never seen so many dedicated athletes in my life. The women in the gym are warriors. The men come right behind them. I'm being serious. I've always wanted to see what the female Vikings were like back in the day and now I know. Just being a small part of this gym has made my life a lot more fun. My trainer Jamison Huntly has helped my bench improve from 165 lbs to 225lbs for 3 reps in a few months. He's always motivated but more importantly he's disciplined. He makes my workout intense but fun at the same time. I used to dread Mondays but now it's my highlight of my week because of the training I get. It just sets the vibe for the whole week. Surround yourself with positive and energetic people and you will see your life...

I’ve been wanting to recommit to my fitness journey for years but there was always something standing in the way, whether that was feeling unable to find time or motivation, or just the intimidation and overwhelm of not knowing where to start. Thanks to a trusted recommendation, I found the HQ and Jenn, and have been working with her for the last four months. One of the best investments of time and money I’ve ever made for myself. Not only do I have an expert trainer who creates a dynamic routine personalized for me every week, but I have built in accountability, support, and the benefit of actually learning why I’m doing the moves I’m doing and how to create sustainability for myself when I work out on my own. Jenn is helping me create a foundation of health and wellness that will last a lifetime, in the gym and outside of it, AND—as if all that wasn’t enough—she’s pretty cool to hang out with for an hour, three times a week. If you’re on the fence about whether personal training sessions are a fit for you, I say go for it. You only have your...
