John Meadows Best Gyms In America | Madtown Fitness
Спорт
The next stop on my epic best gyms in America tour is the one and only Madtown Fitness in Madison Wisconsin. If you are looking for a gym that has some of the best equipment in the game this is the gym for you. They have by far the most Rogers equipment under one roof. Each and every one of the pieces Matdown Fitness has just feels so good to use. The owner Dan Pasholk scours the globe looking for the best of the best to add to the gym floor. So you never know what sweet equipment they will have each time you walk through the doors.
If you are in the Madison Wisconsin area or even within 300 miles of this gym you need to stop in for a nice short 5 hour workout.
As always make sure you tag any gyms you want me to come to in the comments. I might just show up and pay them a visit.

John Meadows is an American professional bodybuilder and entrepreneur with an intriguing story. While John now boasts a successful career as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and fitness company owner, his journey towards the top was extremely difficult.
Growing up, John never met his father, and his mother died at an extremely young age. This meant John only had his grandmother to take care of him. When his grandmother tragically passed away in 1999, John was left alone without his family to support him.
As the years went by, John continued to face new adversities in his life. During his early days in bodybuilding, John suffered from a rare colon disease. After fighting the disease for several months, his colon burst - almost resulting in his death. Luckily, John was quickly rushed to an emergency room where his life was saved. After several months of recovery, John was finally back on his feet.
Coming back into bodybuilding, John used the very obstacles that almost cost him his life as ‘fuel’ to grow stronger. Ever since he recovered from the colon surgery, John has gone on to become a successful bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and inspiration for many people all over the world.

@@saurelius5217 Headphones are your friend. I can work out without them, but the gym management rarely shares my taste and I don't enjoy it near as much as when I'm listening to stuff that I like and motivates me.
Thank you so much for coming out John! It definitely made the opening of this new location unforgettable for everyone that stopped by! My bad on the volume guys, I kept facing away from the mic 🤦♂️

which location is this one?
The "Best Gyms in America" series is like my version of the travel channel.
Dan keeps adding equipment ALL the time. He really cares about his members being able to train like no others.

I use to travel and install computer systems across the country when I was in a town I would ask around and find a gym to work out at. One of my goals was to go back to all the small gyms I work out at and write a book with pictures, locations and a few words about the gyms and owners. Still working, don't travel as much and a lot of those small gyms have closed. Your series has inspired me, now I plan to visit and work out at the gyms you have showcased on your channel. Thanks, John.

Savage gym. Owner seems like such a nice guy. I’d kill to live near a gym like this.
My hope is to open my own gym one day and I want it to be like this.
The owner of this gym rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite series! As a garage gym owner it’s great to see commercial gyms like this one that’s for everyone. Awesome equipment and the owner is passionate about it.

Call me a fat kid in a candy store. Love the clanking iron of the plates.
Wow!! What a Gym. This is a real powergym!!
Dr Suess built some of those machines jeeezus.. Looks like a great gym.
A feeling of community is what makes a gym. It has to have the tools, but they can be found all over. It's that feeling that people are there to work and that they like to see others doing the same. I wish it was more easy to find a place like that, but if it was, they wouldn't be so special. Looks like a great place. Thanks for the tour.
Damn that's a lot of equipment. I'd try the entire gym out. We have nothing close to that in my area.
That smile on your face looking at some of those machines! You're like a kid in a candy store.

I drooled all over my laptop, this equipment is just eye candy, some of it I'd never seen before! Thanks John!
Thanks John for that snapshot of your life. Very interesting, you've got to be one of the most down to earth and easy to listen to guys, I've ever seen. Lots of useful info and tips. Cheers John, and keep pumping the iron 🇬🇧
Some equipment i never seen badass!!!
So refreshing to see a "non cookie cutter gym" , that right there is iron heaven. Phenomenon collection of equipment! Thanks John
mountaindog is the man! I always learn something new from his videos
John these gym tours make me angry that I’m paying $35 a month to train in my gym which is maybe a 1/4 of the size of that gym. 😡

Great video John, thank you. Your best gym video thus far in my opinion. I like how Dan took the time to explain and demonstrate equipment. A lot of that equipment are true gems and hard to find in gyms these days. I wish this gym was were I trained! And thank you John for putting the mic on Dan, we could barely hear him speak at first.
We miss you John 😔 bodybuilding isn't the same since you gone. Beautiful gym savage equipment well done mate. God bless you brother 🙏.
Being a free weight lover, I never considered that there'd be a machine connoisseur, but this guy's an encyclopedia and historian of all things metal and iron. I'm definitely gonna start checking out unusual machines to see what they can offer. Great video, as usual!
Pullover machines are one of the rare machines that I think is superior to the barbell or dumbbell version. You get constant tension all the way through, and it is easier to shift emphasis from lats to chest/shoulders.

Love these tours!!! Such a great way to get an inside look at what a great gym has in terms of equipment, and where to workout if you are ever nearby. I've never seen some of these machines and I have over two decades worth of gym experience. Thanks!!!
Dom would go directly to that first competition squat platform.......... And do curls.
Thanks for Another great clip Gentlemen John 👍
Wow some of the most unique pieces I've ever seen.
damn the tower at 8:50 is impressive!
I like the machines at this gym

That's a really great gym a lot of great equipment
I wish I had a gym like this close to me, awesome stuff
Been longing for a new vid! Finally =)
This is so awesome! I wish we would have those type of gyms in Germany :(
Love it, that gym reminds me of KaiJax gym in NC, tons and tons of equipment of all brands.
I just went and toured this gym earlier today. They have already built a second story mezzanine and added a bunch of new equipment since this video was filmed. I was just walking around like please take my money. This place is incredible.
Awe’s was video, I have shared this in my Facebook group.
These irons can burn every muscle! It's like a heavy metal jungle.
I just got my membership today so this’ll help me a lot. Thanks
i love the series, its just sad that some people never get to train in one of these, as today "gyms" are mostly this tiny fitness places with extremely limited amount of machines and weights.
I was at their other gym for your seminar last year with eugene. I will have to make another visit and train all the things lol.
Damn! If I joined that gym, I'd need someone to show me how to use 3/4 of the stuff in there. Great looking place, though!
Darn! I wish I could have met you while you were in town!
Maintaining all of that would be crazy
Nice job buddy
i wish theyd put one in brooklyn. dying breed
I'm trying to get one them crazy leg workouts with ya John!!! If you ever come to Huntsville Alabama I'm coming to meet ya!!
That’s a top gym, got it all. I have to go to different gyms to use different pieces of equipment for my training split
Heard great things about this gym
beard looks good, suits you
I've never seen anything like it so much equipment that's how every gym should be like💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍✌✌✌
I like ur shirt
Great Gym. Also check out Loprinzi's Gym in Oregon Portland, nice old school gym.
