Pat's Gym

Pat is a highly experienced trainer who will tell you exactly what you need to do to achieve your goals. He will help you prepare for fitness goals like a long run or triathlon, or just feel better and embrace living your life. Pat's Gym is an environment where people are motivated and excited to get fit! It's a great place.

Online training with Pat Gilles is nothing less than incredible. I’ve been a member of Pat’s Gym for over three years. I started with in-person training and eventually transitioned to online training with Pat. Pat has challenged me in ways that I never knew were possible. Pat’s method keeps me engaged while pushing me out of my comfort zone. As a coach, not only is Pat a proven expert in the field, he is also creative, supportive, and kind. It’s clear that Pat truly loves what he does and has gone above and beyond to help me realize what I am capable of physically and mentallly. No matter if I’m at the gym, traveling or at home, Pat takes pride in programming to my needs. I highly recommend online training at Pat’s Gym and am honored to have Pat as my coach.

Pat’s Gym has changed my mentality of how to workout. Though classes and programs I’ve taken at Pat’s Gym I’ve learned how to workout to become stronger, fuel my body, and get the results I’ve wanted. I’ve also made lifelong friends along the way. It’s a wonderful environment that I really value.

Want to know three things you will always find at Pat's Gym? Variety, knowledge and consistency. No two workouts are the same, the coaches are very knowledgeable on overall health and fitness, and results come from showing up and putting in the work. I have been coming to Pat's Gym for 5+ years now and have come to appreciate their philosophy: No fad diets/pills, just good old fashioned hard work. Come give it a try!

Big fan of Pat's Gym! I started going to the online sessions and outdoor Friday sessions at the end of summer 2020, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The trainers at Pat's are so kind and helpful explaining the goals and workout for the day, and i felt so much stronger mentally and physically the longer i attended. I stopped going due to moving cities, but would urge anyone in the Madison area to look to Pat's as their gym/trainers of choice!

I've attended at least 500 group classes at Pat's Gym over the last 6 years through their corporate program and every single class is led by a coach who genuinely cares about me and challenges me. Not a single day is the same, leading to an all-around health I can't get from any other program. Whether I'm running a 5K, going skiing, hiking, or just helping a friend move, I'm confident in my abilities to do anything physical in a way I never was before. Pat's Gym is awesome!

I first start going to Pat's in 2018 as part of a program offered by the company I work for. Some of my coworkers, including my husband were already attending these corporate classes and I've heard a lot of positive reviews. At the beginning it was hard for me because I've never been regular to any gym, and I don't really like working out although I value its importance for my health. The incentive and support from the peers and instructors were what kept me going to Pat's on a regular basis. Roza and Gretchen understood my physical limits, but more important my mental limits and helped me push when I would probably just take it easy, (without getting to the tipping point). My family and friends started making quite a few comments about my muscle gains and how I looked stronger. (I've always been skinny and small so it was very surprising for people to see the improvements). Pat's Gym is a great place for any level and goals you want to achieve.

As an Ironman triathlete, I've spent most of my past focusing on getting lean for endurance, but Pat's workouts have helped me become so much stronger and physically well balanced for everything in my very active lifestyle. I've been attending group workouts for quite a few years because of how much energy and camaraderie the instructors create. Workouts are never the same, and instructors always help with modifications if you have any limitations or are nursing an injury. Definitely my favorite gym I've ever been to!

Been lucky to find excellent coaches and trainers each time we moved. Pat's Gym during our stay in Madison is truly the best of the best. We loved working with Gretchen and really any of their coaching staff. The programming is excellent, thoughtful, and tailored. It got me in the best shape ever and ready to race, and this just months after having a baby in my 40's. Also, a wonderful group of people, both the staff and athletes they train. Truly an inspiring and supportive community.

I do personal training with Gretchen at Pat’s Gym and it’s been amazing! She pushes me both mentally and physically and I’ve gotten stronger from working with her. As a retired D1 athlete, I wanted to have a gym that would help me reach my goals, work with me through injuries, and have a team atmosphere. Pat’s does all of that. The staff and athletes are incredibly friendly and positive too. If you’re looking for challenging workouts that keep you on your toes or a place to reach your fitness goals, this is it!
