CrossFit Mata Leão

I had no intention of ever doing CrossFit. I'd heard it called the "cult of injury" and just assumed it would destroy me. One thing led to another, and I started that 6 a.m. classes here, and I'm addicted. The coaches are fun, helpful, and encouraging. I love my classmates. We laugh and egg each other on, and the community here is unparalleled.For the first time in my life, I can climb a rope and jump into a pull-up. I never thought I could do some of the things I do now. In just 7 months, my physical abilities have radically transformed. I've never been so happy to be in my own skin. As for the "injuries," the coaches are great at helping you do things safely and to modify for injury. Everyone celebrates people taking care of themselves. I highly encourage anyone who's interested in trying CrossFit to join us at Mata Leao.

This crew and coach are 15/10!!! They are friendly and welcoming regardless of skill level. I had no clue what to do with a barbell and now I know a little!!! The facility is always clean and the equipment looks brand new. Bonus: both AM and PM classes are great with lots of laughs to accompany the grueling workouts. I am reluctant to sing this box's praises, cuz I want it all to myself, but that's not the Crossfit Mata Leao way.

Fantastic coaches. Great community of people. Would recommend this to anyone looking to start out in the sport of CrossFit, as well as experienced athletes.

CrossFit Mata Leao is a beautiful new CrossFit gym on the east side of Madison. It has everything you need to get into the best shape, including great coaches and owners who are helpful and want to see you reach your goals. They thought of everything! Amazing extra perks include; huge locker rooms and showers - with towel service, coffee and lounge to relax and socialize in before or after a workout, plenty of parking, convenient location off of Hwy 30, and E Washington Ave. I really think this place is perfect!

I've tried a couple of other crossfit gyms in the area and couldn't get motivated. I'm not someone who usually gets excited about working out. Tyler and his crew make every workout a ton of fun. The brand new equipment is way better than any that I've ever used in the past. This gym definitely went way beyond my expectations!

Love this new gym and Tyler is an awesome coach. Huge NEW space and state of the art equipment too! Programming places emphasis on doing the movements correctly. Best of all it is within five minutes of my work. Five stars.

I have done crossfit since 2006 when I was exposed to it in the military. I have never seen such a beautiful gym. It has every piece of equipment you need to do any WOD to include working your strength training like the Olympic lifts. Combine that with outstanding instructors and you have the best crossfit box in the Madison area.

CrossFit Mata Leão Is an amazing CrossFit gym. All the equipment is brand new Rogue equipment and the coaching is fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough!

Great new CrossFit gym. Focused coaching to make sure you're doing everything correctly, beautiful facility, team-oriented clientele, and endless German techno. Everything you could want.

Very knowledgable instructors. The crew in general is very supportive. Amazing equipment! just what you need to get shredded
