When Dar and I talk about our businesses, the emphasis is always on community (MAD community, if you will). For us, community is everything. We always say that you can have the best programming in the world, but if you don’t have a strong community, you don’t have much. Conversely, you can have generic programming, […]
I’m just going to put this out there. Real results take time – plain and simple. It’s not what most people want to hear, nevertheless, most people want immediate results following their decision to make healthier choices.

We’ve shared Dar’s overly certified background before, and the collective excitement to have her and her knowledge on our team as a franchise owner and true fitness professional, but we are yet to get into the story of […]
Just over a week ago Brandon and Kirk made the trip up to Charlottesville to check out the new space and meet the community. While it will undoubtedly be exciting to see how each franchise location captures the brand and how they fold into their local fitness scene, this being the first addition to the […]
MADlifestyle. What exactly is it? What does it mean to you? What does it mean to me? What does it mean to us? ‘MADlifestyle’ is the campaign and vision we are building our entire company around. We are not just talking about a workout, but rather a way to look at the world; a perspective […]
We’ve been a long time in coming. Our partnership group started planning our business a year ago; looking for space, developing clientele, exploring the needs and gaps in the Charlottesville fitness market and how perfectly this concept fills them. We waited patiently through the franchising process; holding our breath for news from Brandon and Kirk […]
We are very active in the social community and love interacting through social media. Find us on Facebook & Twitter to embrace the #MADlifestyle
