Pinnacle Health & Fitness

Pinnacle Health Club has an awesome selection of exercise equipment that is always very clean and well maintained.  Also available are a vast array exercise classes lead by experts that are professional and lots of fun to work with.  The entire Pinnacle staff is incredibly nice and always welcoming. <br><br>Pinnacle has a very nice 4 lane 25 yard indoor pool which has been my main focus since joining 3 years ago.  And just weeks ago, they opened a gorgeous new 3 lane outdoor 25 yard pool which is the nicest outdoor pool that I have ever been in.  New deck  furniture and shade umbrellas are generously placed around  the outdoor pool providing comfortable lounging.  Both the indoor and the outdoor pool have a salt and not a chlorine water treatment system that provides softer, less harsh water in which to swim.  Salt treated water is far superior to chlorine in terms of being easier on your skin and hair as well as your swimming suit fabric. It is also much more pleasant to be around.  Water temperature in both pools is always kept at a comfortable level optimal for swimming laps.  The new outdoor pool is something that is worth getting excited about if you incorporate swimming in your fitness regimen.

I mainly joined for the pool setup. They have a lot of aqua classes at convenient time. Always able to find a parking spot. Even when the gym is busy, you don't feel crowded out. Really enjoying it! More...

I have been going to Pinnacle for over 3 years now and absolutely love it! The facility is clean, it has many many classes and wonderful instructors and staff. I go to strength training, yoga and water aerobics on a very regular basis and have met many new wonderful friends. I have had GREAT results on my body. After being in the hospital for 4.5 months, I'm so grateful for such a wonderful place that has given me the chance to come back. I'm over the moon excited about the new 'outside' pool that is being built! Can't wait. Thank you Mike, Tim, Crystal, Tawny, Rachel and everyone else who is there! More...

Love that we have a warm water pool at a local gym in Fitchburg and that classes are offered daily. Despite the age of the facility, it is well maintained and provides excellent customer service. I cannot give 5 stars, though, because the facility has a Blue Handicapped sticker on the door - yet the handicapped entry/exit buttons do not work so entrance into the facility if you use a walker is difficult. Either the sticker needs to be removed or the button needs to be repaired. Also, the second entry door needs a button - otherwise you are stuck between the two doors with no assistance. I challenge the managers to try to get in and out of the facility with a walker and no assistance. More...

We've been members for about 1-2 months now and we like it. Rarely have to wait to use weights, ellipticals etc..but the pool can be hit and miss. Recommended!

I have been a member of this club for over 10 years. It is consistently outstanding in every respect. I'm picky, sometimes hard to please. And this club always exceeds my expectations. . The employees are professional and very friendly. The club is spotless. There are abundant machines etc, really good classes taught by good people. I cannot think of a single negative. One of the best things about the club is the clientele. Most of the people who work-out there are between late twenties and early sixties. A really nice mix of people that creates a pleasant environment. You really can't do better. More...

Kudos to Heidi Meyer-Spidell for creating an amazing aquatics program and, besides being personally inspiring, always seeking to recruit a strong coaching staff. I have been in the Pinnacle masters swim program for over a year, and Kimberly Goodell's coaching helped me recapture of love of swimming, as well as improving my technique.When Kimberly moved to California, she left some huge shoes to fill as coach. Karl Barton brought his own inimitable style to the class, while maintaining the qualities of motivating and challenging each individual to achieve a great training workout. I looked forward to every class--even at the ungodly hour of 6 am.I also used Karl for private swim lessons and personal training. Besides his extensive knowledge of swim and workout techniques and skill in teaching them--which are considerable--the level of his enthusiasm alone could keep a stone afloat. After Karl left, the swim program suffered somewhat, IMO, but they have continued to keep it afloat. There seems to be a high turnover in swim coaches, and the quality could be uneven, which is why I ultimately left Pinnacle.The atmosphere at Pinnacle is friendly and supportive, and it has a strong sense of community.

Lack of professionalism by management. Save your money!!!! You would get a better work out and be treated better by becoming a professional dog walker and getting paid for the exercise. This place is a joke and the integrity of the management put into question what other business practices may be going on. More...

Unfortunately I can not speak highly for the honesty or professionalism of this gym.  I signed up for a month to month contract so I could use the Fitchburg swimming pool. I was 5 months pregnant at the time, and was assured that I could "freeze" my account. There was several issues with the honesty in the sale, and I am informed today that I am on a 24 month contract.  The unfortunate part is that I really enjoy these facilities. With an infant, full time work and a graduate school program I needed to cancel for a few months. Not only was the sales person not able to give me clear information, Crystal also proceeded to be very rude and unprofessional.  I am sharing this experience with the intent that another family will not have this bad experience.  ***FYI if you sign a 24 month contract, there is no cancelation fee option.  This is about $1,200.

Joined Pinnacle to workout with a friend that has a membership here. I very much regret my decision. The facility is needs to be cleaned (dirt between the mechanicals of the machines) and the machines are outdated and rusting in spots.

High quality gymnasium, fantastic equipment, friendly, personable, helpful staff, great amenities (such as locker rentals, towel service, water/juice bar/snack options, personal training and massage), perfect location and aesthetics. This is the third health club/gym I've been a member of in the Madison area and this is where I plan to stay. One of my favorite options when I started was that they offer membership options that include month-to-month contracts (there's also a free week new client trial, and a two week period to cancel your membership if you buy one), so if you're not going to be in Madison a full year or aren't ready to commit, you have that choice. Highly recommend. More...

Love this place! No, it is not the newest gym, however it's maintained well and the staff is super friendly. You can probably find any type of gym equipment you would ever need here. They also have a sauna and jacuzzi to relax in after a tough workout. The locker rooms are spacious and kept clean. I haven't had to use the showers yet so can't speak to those.<br><br>I frequently take their early morning (5:30 am) classes and love the trainers. Everyone is super encouraging and I always leave knowing I got a great workout. They also have a smoothie bar. I have yet to try it, but it looks like they have a good selection! More...

I called about memberships. On the website it says "Memberships dues range from $47/month up to $60/month depending on the length of the membership" and "You can join for anything from 1 month up to 24 months.

Ok, fair enough. <br><br>Oddly, he continued and said that the 1-month membership wasn't cost-effective because you have to pay the enrollment fee and $89 for the one month. <br><br>I didn't even argue the point. I'm not looking to argue about a gym membership, but this interaction told me everything I needed to know.

I joined Pinnacle Health & Fitness in Fitchburg in May of this year. I had been searching for the right spot to do warm water exercises for a good 2 years. This spring I got in the car and toured 4 of the 5 facilities I had researched that were nearest to my home.I chose Pinnacle because I was most impressed with the staff, the facility and the variety of classes offered. Staff at Pinnacle were very friendly and knowledgeable. They encourage you to work at your own pace, cheer you on, helping to keep you motivated. I have been amazed at the changes in my endurance, and over all physical health.Thank you Pinnacle. Choosing to be a member was a great gift to myself and to my family! More...

All together a great place.  Since I moved here, I have  been testing and reviewing all the local gyms (past three months) to see what they offer and who I would stay with the the long haul.   Pinnacle to first.  I do end up spending about $20 extra, but its worth it...and thats coming from a tight-wade. :-)<br><br>The staff is great and every thing works.  Your membership covers they use of the facility and just about ever class and seminar they offer.  The place is not fancy, but why does a gym have to be.  They have a limited customer base which helps the place keep the attendance down allowing classes and equipment to be available when you want it.  <br><br>money well spent.

I am Eric, Gloria P's lesser half. I joined Pinnacle in Fitchburg back in April 1997 just after they opened. I had been a member at other Madison gyms over the years, but finally found my niche at Pinnacle. I try to go every day and especially now with the addition of all the state of the art strength equipment. The have added StarTrac Human Sport machines and TuffStuff machines. Also recently added are two lateral elliptical machines that are truly a new dimension as compared to the old standard linear machines. Put it this way, if you can't find something here to hit every body part, you aren't looking hard enough. My only complaint is that now I spend double the time working out and have to explain to my wife where I've been. (joking)The entire staff from Mike (the owner) on down to Bruce (the diligent guy cleaning equipment), are super friendly and dedicated. Pinnacle is an extremely clean, no nonsense gym. You see a minimal amount of Spandex, and a maximal amount of happy members just doing their thing. More...
