Fitness Solutions

I got a Groupon to try Fitness Solutions. It’s, by far, been the best purchase I’ve made from them. If you’ve ever been an athlete or gone through a program where you’re pushed to pain, Matt is the exact opposite. He teaches you to listen to your biomechanics. You’re not doing 60 minutes of grueling, soul-crushing work- you’re actually training your muscles to perform their best! Matt creates a low-pressure atmosphere where you can test out new-to-you exercises without feeling self-conscious. He doesn’t stare at you and judge your abilities (or lack thereof), he’s takes you as you are and guides you to improve in ways that make sense for your goals- no one else’s. Fitness Solutions is the first time I’ve ever actually wanted to go workout because Matt makes sure I don’t feel like an unfit failure. His coaching has made me a member for life.

I was a personal training client of Matt's for years. He really tailored his workouts to fit with my goals and personality. Matt made working out fun! Give him a chance and you will see what I mean.

I began training at Fitness Solutions almost exactly two years ago. The progress I’ve seen in my own physical ability, mindset, and education has been so incredibly substantial. I came in with a strong movement background, primarily in yoga and Pilates. The training I have received at Fitness Solutions has not only increased my awareness of my own body and biomechanics in general, but has also improved my ability to relate to any functional movement practice. Throughout my training, I have gained significant muscle mass and physical strength, I have learned how to effectively train to meet my goals, and I have learned how to properly balance and structure workouts and movement in general. Most importantly, I have learned to trust the process. Whatever the process, whatever the current goal may be, training and making incremental progress with incredible coaching, guidance, and comrade has been the best improvement in my day to day life. Matt McKenzie is an incredibly insightful and intuitive trainer, and has created an amazing space and community within Fitness Solutions.

Matt is a great guy and very knowledge about the proper exercises as well as injuries. He is quite friendly and and easy to talk to.The gym atmosphere has the guidence of personal sessions but also the relative flexibility of what you want to do. After teaching the exercises and the correct way to do it in the first couple days, he trusts you to do them on your own, but he is still around to guide you and keep an eye if you are doing anything wrong.The only unfulfilled promise is free beer on tap.

Matt is the best of the best for a fitness trainer. Even the session is a group, he would pay attention to each person and suggest what’s best for each. His class is also good for preventing injuries. His passion and knowledge for being fit changed my gym life. If you are in Madison and are looking for fitness, fitness solution is the answer! I wish I could rate 10 stars.

Great place to get in shape!

Matt is a great trainer! The small group sessions are a perfect way to improve your fitness. There is no need to be intimidated by working out with Matt. He is nice and helpful.

Matt is awesome! I liked doing an assessment and making fitness goals which you don't get at most gyms. Workouts are fun, he changes things up so you don't get bored! I highly recommend Fitness Solutions!
