MADabolic Alexandria - Alexandria, Virginia

Love MADabolic! The workouts are tough but doable...a great challenge at your own pace. Continuously different so it never gets boring. Energetic music. Class sizes (25 max) are inviting, not overwhelming. Awesome trainers who provide good feedback and support. Ample parking. And it's fun!

Best group training gym I have been to! Great trainers and community of people who coach each person to get the most out of every movement each and every workout. The trainers are top notch and work with you to ensure you’re pushing the appropriate weight (while still making sure it’s heavy) and keeping the correct form. The various intervals and type of workouts have helped to greatly change my body for the good by gaining a bunch of muscle while dropping the 35 lbs that I needed to be rid of. I have a son who plays varsity football, and these workouts have gotten me to where I can keep up with him in one on one workouts and passing drills. I only wish I had a MAD location close to my house in South Carolina!

Best gym ever! My fiancé and I have been going to MAD for 5 months and have really enjoyed the work outs and community. Definitely feel stronger each class. They also host really beneficial events like Recovery Days with cold plunges, cupping and massages!

I am so happy with this gym! I've been attending for a month now and I finally feel like after 2 years of looking I have found my gym home. I came to this gym looking for a focus on strength training (I enjoy traditional weight lifting) and was unsatisfied with Orange Theory and F45 (seemed kinda basic) but didn't want to go back to Crossfit gyms because I'd like a workout longer than 9 minutes (LOL). Anyway, Madabolic is great - I had seen them advertised quite a bit and waited to try it out for a few months, but I'm glad I have. ALX has a positive, friendly gym culture and I am really pleased with the programming. I am finally sore again, in all the right places! Keep up the good work MAD!

Love this gym and the MAD workouts. Today’s workout was challenging and kept me moving the entire class. I enjoy how each day is a different workout from the previous day. It’s always a challenge.

MADabolic is not your traditional group fitness. It pairs multiple facets required to build overall fitness and athleticism> I appreciate the scalability of the weights up and down. Additionally, the instructors are what you would think of when going to a gym of this caliber-- energetic, fit, strong, and personable.

I rarely post reviews but I felt compelled to shout out the team publicly. Went to my first class today via the Classpass App. Coach Adam (who is also the GM) and Herman at the front desk couldn’t have been more friendlier. It was such a warm, welcoming environment from the moment I stepped in. I’ve gone to many different gyms and had the best first time experience here.

I’m a big believer in correct form. Coach Adam encouraged and corrected me throughout the entire class and he was doing that to everyone. I love that type of coaching and genuinely enjoyed every bit of my experience.

Lots of compound movements. The jump rope for warm up for super fun. Plenty of free street parking (I went on a Tues at 630pm). Definitely going back.10/10, highly recommend

I’ve been coming here for almost three years (or is it four?) and it’s by far the best gym I’ve ever been to in my fif..cough…years of living. Everyone is supportive and I’ve never felt judged. Madabolic is a community of people with nothing in common but the desire to become stronger and healthier versions of themselves. No one tries to undercut you or make you feel like a weakling. You’re continuously encouraged to try and try again until your dream of carrying five grocery bags from the car to your house all at once with ease becomes a reality.

Madabolic works out your mind, as well as your body; high confidence and belief in yourself are two welcome side effects of each 40 minute workout. You’ll be surprised by how much you love your badass self after only a few sessions, trust me.

In the last month, due to serious back issues stemming from years of near weekly falls down the stairs and rollerblading trips down steep ravines (seriously, how am I alive?), I’ve had to put my membership on hold, but Madabolic is all I think of and I’m determined to get back in there. I’ve never felt such obsessive (in a good way) urgency to get back to the gym, but that’s probably because Madabolic is more than that to me.

Try it for at a month; I guarantee you’ll end up joining for the long haul. And who knows? Maybe we’ll get to work out together one day. See ya soon.
