OPEN NOW - Open 24 Hours

Actually a really good deal compared to other similar facilities. Princeton Club far exceeds the quality of 24 Hour Fitness, Golds, or Ballys for about $10-20 less per month.



In my experience, Princeton Club is always clean - including the main area, the track, the outdoors roof area, the basketball courts, the racket ball courts, the pool, hot tub, and tanning beds.



I come in, get a good workout, get a tan, run some laps, beat my buddy in racquetball, grab a protein shake - seems like a good plan to me.

I've been in clubs all over the nation and this is one of the best. The rooftop soccer is fun in the summer and the kids love the childcare.

I have been a member of the Princeton Club for a few years. I have moved around a bit and have been a member of other gyms, but I would 100% recommend the Princeton Club over any other I have tried. For the price I feel I am getting an incredible value. All the classes are included- which I was so happy about- and there's so many I have yet to try them all. Plus, I have access to the express clubs. I live in McFarland and so it is so convenient to have the club right there- but if I want to go to the bigger one and use the pool or sauna I can. I have yet to hear of another club that have that! With that being said I haven't had to wait for machines or feel too cramped at any PC location- express or mega club. It's clean, and I come at the busier times which says a lot. Any time I have found it dirty has been by the use of a member not putting their stuff away after use. I have always been really impressed with how personal the staff makes any interaction- it makes me feel like it's my club! Overall I feel like the Princeton Club checks all the boxes I'm looking in a gym for and I would recommend it to anyone!

I went in with the couples deal and paid for a two year membership up front and it is decidedly less expensive. It will basically cut your price in half. I didn't feel pressured to purchase this membership, it was best for me from a purely economical standpoint and because I have to have access to a 24 hour pool and sauna, these are my requirements. I occasionally use their bikes and weigh machines, all of which I found to be in top shape. I used one bike that the heart rate monitor didn't work on, but my own fitbit is more accurate, so I have decided to keep using that instead. I find that everything is clean and that the workers are polite. I will continue to use my membership for the next 1.5 years because this is the best gym I have had access to in years.

I love the many varieties of workouts available. Also enjoy playing Racquetball with my son and other guys on the courts.

This is my favorite pool at any gym in the area. Everything is always so nice and clean as well.

My wife and I decided to look for a gym that had free child care and that was open all the time. We started with the free week membership, but we were told if we wanted to join after 3 or 4 days, we could trade in our free week membership And they would give us a free month. As of today there are two plans that both require contracts. One is a couple membership for 12 months for just under 100 dollars, and the other option is a two year contract for just under 80. We went with the one year rate, just because we want to make sure we use it as we intend to now.it has a lot of neat features, and the child care is pretty decent. Our daughter gets to play and socialize so its a win win. I would recommend this place.

I wanted a health club close by, open 24 hours, where I can always get a lap lane. Bingo! I've belonged to the Y all my life. I signed up for a whole year and paid all at once- got a pretty decent discount. The showers and locker rooms are very clean. I really appreciate that.

My husband and I have been members here for 6 years and love it. We mostly use the East side location since it's more nearby for us but go to the West side every so often. We also go to the church that meets in the West side location gym Sundays at 10am - it's awesome (there's even free coffee and bagels and it's very family oriented) and sometimes stay for a workout after church. Some people may not be into that but I think it's great that they use their facilities to bless a lot of people. There's also other good stuff happening to help people like Toys for Tots, food drives and lots of other stuff. Some things I love about the West side location is the resistance pool, equipment, steam room (I like the shower head in there so you can cool down without getting out), and childcare. Like I said, I usually use the East side location. I love the equipment - and I never have a problem with having to wait for what I want to use. They get new, up and coming equipment pretty frequently which I can't say for other gyms I've been a member at. I also feel pretty safe using everything and not worrying about getting other people's dirty sweat on me because everyone seems to adhere well to cleaning equipment after use with the spray bottle and cloth. My husband has made so many friends and amazing connections through people he's met there. I love, love, love the childcare. The staff are great and my 5 yr old and 3 yr old boys love going to the gym because it means toys galore, slide, ball pit (and they keep it pretty clean too), and a chance to make friends. I love a couple hours to myself to watch TV or read while burning calories and working out, relaxing in the hot tub and taking a shower with peace and quiet. :) The staff have been only amazing from what I've seen - I'm sad for anyone that's had a bad experience - I never have! Love the free classes. Enough said although I could say more. Great place.

Very good and friendly service as well.

Largest health club on the westside. Very clean. Lots of free weights and treadmills.

Up to date. Nice equipment.

Their pools always clean and their employees are always super helpful. I've come to think of it almost as a second home.

This is one of the premier local health club in Madison. They are very particular about every individual and keeps them motivated through a mix of discipline and encouragement. Once I had a recurring neck pain, and their physio took really good and personal care of me. Within a week, I had good results and it stayed that way so far (about a year now).

The best workout motivating environment ever.

Love it ..! Great Nice Ppl. And A Very Clean facility!

I just wanted to post about my sign up experience today at the Madison West location. After reading some of the reviews, I was very pleasantly surprised today. Everybody that I worked with and talked to was extremely friendly and accommodating. The facility overall was in excellent condition and the environment was pleasant. After their representative gave me a thorough tour of the entire facility, he then sat down with me and explained the different membership options. He was very clear about the prices and was definitely concerned with helping me make the most economical decision. Unlike some of the reviews, I did not at all feel like they were only in it to take my money. I have toured a few of the other facilities in the area and feel that this facility is by far the best in terms of the equipment, technology, and amenities. And, the membership price was very comparable with other facilities including the YMCA and Harbor Athletic Club. I find the membership price to be very reasonable as well. A lot of people have griped about having to sign a contract. I haven't found many facilities that do not require a contract of some sort. Also, if you know you will not be there for the entire contract, you have to option to pay for the number of months that you will be using the facility. This requires you to pay for your membership up front, but that too can be spread out across a few, more manageable monthly payments. Also, unlike most athletic clubs, Princeton Club does not charge an initiation fee. This is a huge benefit as you will not be required to put $100+ down for an initiation fee before even signing up.

If you are looking for a gym that is quality, try this one out!

I have had a membership with this gym for years and I can't think of anything I do not like about it. I previously went to different ones in California where I am from, and I like this one much better.

The staff are extremely nice and helpful, not rude or snooty.

It really has everything I look for in a gym, good child-care, lots of choices for classes and weights, machines and pool spa etc. My favorite classes are the sculpt and pilates. It is also always(except sometimes at 5-6pm) easy to get on the machines I want to use. The fact that it is open 24 hrs is a major bonus as well.

Plenty of workout equipment, easy parking, rooftop soccer field and tennis courts are awesome!

I'd say that this is, quite possibly, one of the finest fitness facilities I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Unfortunately, membership fees reflect this fact.
