I’m a huge fan of Marlow and the other trainers at Fortify. Been going 2x a week for almost a year. Definitely feel stronger, have more energy, playing better tennis and best of all, arthritis pain in hip and knees substantially improved. All that —-plus it’s been fun. Looking forward to year 2

My happy place! The community is supportive, encouraging, and welcoming. No other place I’d rather be!

Great coaches, workouts and camaraderie.

Great people and culture!

Exceptional CrossFit gym! The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, creating a motivating atmosphere. Varied and challenging workouts keep things interesting, and the sense of community among members is truly uplifting. Top-notch facility for anyone seeking a well-rounded fitness experience.

Fortunate to be a part of this community. Programming for ALL ages and abilities. Grateful to all the coaches and for the countless friendships I've made.

I have been at Fortify for almost two months now. I absolutely love this gym. I am new to CrossFit and I am learning most of the exercises for the first time. The coaches are so helpful. They make sure everyone is learning all the exercises and proper form. I highly recommend this gym for new or experienced people. Keep up the amazing work team Fortify!

Absolutely love it! Great people, community and coaches.

Great gym and great people!

I joined Fortify because I was looking for a community of awesome people to workout with and that is exactly what I got! The workouts are always a good challenge and there are modifications if I’m not yet able to do a move. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and there to build each other up. I feel so lucky to have found Fortify!

Couldn't ask any more of the coaches! No matter where you are in your fitness journey they are they to help you meet your goals! Every class is full of people all striving for improving themselves and encouraging others!

The coaches at Fortify are knowledgeable and professional. The community at Fortify is so kind and welcoming. I’m so glad this gym is so close to home!

A great place to go and work out . People there are happy and willing to help and guide you for a safe and healthy lifestyle.

Extremely welcoming community & solid programming!

Awesome, clean gym with knowledgeable and friendly coaches!!

Excellent! My husband and I dropped in for several classes. Everyone was so welcoming! I loved visiting this box, and will continue to drop in during my future trips to the area.

Recently attended Coach Hicks' Rowing clinic. I may not have mastered the art, but I had a lot of fun and gathered some great pointers. I will be using Marlow's tips and tricks for both short and longer rows.

Some of the best people and the best CrossFit gym in Waunakee. Here you have your own community of like minds, fun and well thought out group classes, a coach to direct your path and make it custom to you!

Great community feeling!

Great staff! The entire team makes getting up at 4:30am for the 5am class a little easier.

Fortify is hands down the best gym that you could go to. I started going to Fortify about 7 months ago. When I signed up, I told myself that I would try it for a month, and see if I could commit to going at least a few times a week.

Fortify is hands down the best gym that you could go to. I started going to Fortify about 7 months ago. When I signed up, I told myself that I would try it for a month, and see if I could commit to going at least a few times a week. I am not at all a morning person, and can only go to the morning classes, so I was pretty sure I wouldn’t last more than a month. I was also frankly intimidated by CrossFit; I assumed everyone there would be much more capable than I was. Not only did I continue going, but I asked for an unlimited membership so that I could go more often. The community is incredible. You will not find more supportive people to workout alongside. The coaches are also very supportive, and are always offering scaling options and modifications. The constantly watch for form, and ensure everyone is lifting safely and to prevent injuries. Over the last 7 months, I have progressed well beyond where I thought I could. I am very excited by how much my strength and overall athletic ability has increased thus far, and even more excited to see what the future will bring. I cannot say enough about Fortify. If CrossFit interests you in the slightest, give Fortify a try. I promise you will not regret it. Less

I had no prior Crossfit experience however it's been simply an amazing experience right from day 1 at Fortify Gym! The introduction, scaling options for beginners, great coaching and last but not the least - team spirit and support at each and every workout has kept me engaged and committed to this program so far! Its been only 28 days and I have made progress and can feel the difference. I am so glad I joined and would highly recommend to anyone willing to join this wonderful team! Less

Newbie here but I'm loving the vibes! Class sizes aren't too big with lots of time slots and days of the week available. Agree with all the reviewers here that the instructors are focusing on form and provide individualized attention.

Top-notch coaches and equipment and a wonderful and supportive community!

I've been working out at Fortify for the past 8 months and can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I ever made. The coaches really care about proper form, correction and coaching you where you're at. The best part is the people and culture. Everyone knows how to have fun, you almost forget you're working out.

Almost. It's not some quiet gym that you only show up to do the work and then go home. Marlow may be picky AF when it comes to progression moves (think pull ups, handstand push ups, etc.) but what he says works. I'm a walking testament that you can indeed learn how to do a pull up, multiple in a row at that, even if you've never done one before in your life. Check us out. You won't regret it. Less

This is my favorite gym in Waunakee! I have participated in the kids camp multiple times and love all of the games and activities the coaches program!

Come for the great coaches and programming, stay for the amazing community. I love that the coaches safely push you to the edges of your comfort zone while helping you develop confidence in yourself. The community has held me to a a level of accountability I haven't experienced before. I actually look forward to seeing my gym family and that keeps me coming back day after day!

I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the coaches, community, facilities and programming at Fortify Fitness Collective. This is hands down the best gym in Waunakee. I worked out at Fortify during my pregnancy and resumed at 6 weeks postpartum as soon as I was cleared. The coaches helped me to stay engaged and to continue my workouts safely.

Everyone has a great attitude and I love the camaraderie. These people are my chosen family.

Fun, challenging workouts for all levels, great coaches, supportive atmosphere. So glad I gave it a try!

Keeps you accountable and motivated. Great way to start the day, everyone from the coaches to members are supportive and keeps you going.

I have been a member for 8 months. I came in with no crossfit experience and never having laid hands on a barbell. The coaches are amazing and teach proper form at every class . There are options for all fitness levels and I have learned/progressed so much since I've started.

Owner/Head coach is not committed to overall safety of members resulting in injuries. He also does not invest time in members healing from injuries to return safely to the gym.

Owner/Head coach is not committed to overall safety of members resulting in injuries. He also does not invest time in members healing from injuries to return safely to the gym. He ignores poor form, does not provide adequate scaling options (for injury and physical limitations), and does not assist members to prevent further injuries requiring members to seek assistance outside of the gym. He is not responsive to feedback and athletes are oftentimes left to fend for themselves or leave. Communication is subpar and at times disrespectful in nature. Furthermore, follow through with plans and plans for correction (following feedback given due to an issue brought to his attention) is atrocious. These systemic issues really distract from the members and quality of a gym this place could be under different leadership. Less

Best CrossFit gym in town! Workouts are challenging but always scalable to a persons needs! Incredible community who pushes each other to achieve their goals. Fantastic owners who put a lot of time and effort into making this gym such a great place to be a part of. Come join us if you are looking for a community and a great fitness routine!

I enjoy going to Fortify fitness because I feel comfortable working at my own pace and be able to work with the coach to add slight modifications according to my ability. Loads to improve but I feel that I made great progress towards my fitness goals.

Marlow is an excellent trainer and his programming will get you results!

The workouts work for persons at any level of fitness! These members have become some of our best friends. We highly recommend you try out Fortify & see how you like it.

Great coaches, great workout, AMAZING community!

Over the last two months, I’ve really enjoys my experience at Fortify ! Everyone should do try it out!

Marlow and company never disappoint. Excellent and knowledgeable coaching with plenty of encouragement. I am always grateful for the opportunity Fortify provides to challenge myself and become a better version of me, bit by bit.

I had been away from all exercise other than running since finishing my military service over 10 years ago. Late last year I decided it was time to get back to the kind of physical activity I needed to improve and maintain my overall physical fitness and wellbeing but was not particularly excited to do so in a traditional gym. I am not a fan of exercise equipment and the lack of variety they represent. When I found Fortify online I saw a representation of what I used to have and loved so much - varied exercises and challenges in a supportive and motivating community setting. I have been with Fortify for over seven months now and it has not disappointed. The daily workouts are challenging but scaled to my ability. The coaches and community are everything I had hoped they would be and are always cheering me on and helping push past my barriers. I would recommend Fortify to anyone looking for the same. Functional variety, challenges, and a positive and supportive environment. Less

I genuinely enjoy working out with everyone at the gym! I know I would not push myself as hard as I do without the support of coaches and others in class.

Top notch training facility and instructors!!!

Fortify is a very friendly, supportive community. The coaches are great. I really like how everything can be adjusted to meet your specific needs and goals.

I feel so comfortable at Fortify! The coaches make sure you always know how to do the different movements and can scale every workout to match your ability. Members go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Fortify is a wonderful community to be a part of!

Luckily, I finally said “yes” and I can honestly say that although I don’t jump for joy at the idea of exercising, I do look forward to the classes and I started feeling better about myself after 6 or so classes.

I feel encouraged and never pressured or judged because of what I can or can’t do. Everyone at the gym is friendly and encouraging. I would recommend Fortify to anyone interested in improving strength, self-esteem, or overall fitness. Less

If you have ever started a workout routine only to later stop it, you know how hard it can be, to maintain motivation. I had originally signed up just to have some accountability.

If you have ever started a workout routine only to later stop it, you know how hard it can be, to maintain motivation. I had originally signed up just to have some accountability. What I didn't expect was that working out could be more than repeating the same 3 or 4 moves over and over again. There is a lot of variety in the workouts at Fortify. Not only that but the personal attention you get when the classes are generally 3-10 people is very helpful. The instructor will help you do it right and will push each of the members to their personal limits. I don't think I ever go home feeling like I didn't just give 100%. If you're looking for something to help take your workout to that next level and add some variety I would recommend Fortify. Less

Had my very 1st workout today after being inactive for months! Talk about a work out! The group was inspiring and the instructor really helped me to get the forms correct! Ps the Playlist was a hit!

Fortify gym has an amazing group atmosphere. The coaches are very responsive and help with individual scalings for workouts.

So many great things to say but the coaches and community cannot be beat. The coaches are knowledgeable, show genuine interest in each athlete and make classes fun and challenging. The community is something that money simply can’t buy and is so helpful in enhancing accountability and making fitness feel fun.

I highly recommend Fortify Fitness Collective! No matter what stage you are at in your fitness journey, this is the place for you! This community is filled with excellent coaching, challenging but obtainable programming and a team of knowledgeable coaches. This community has been so welcoming and has definitely made an incredibly positive impact in my life.

Awesome gym community! Marlow and all the coaches create a super fun atmosphere while pushing you towards your gym goals, whatever those goals may be.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Fortify so far! The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly & encouraging. It’s my first time at a CrossFit gym and I’m loving it! The members there are also so kind and supportive; makes it SO much less intimidating.

I've been working out here since they opened. Really good coaches, and a super supportive and fun community. Drop in for a class, you are going to like it.

When I think about my time so far at Fortify, it’s been an eye-opening journey. Every workout sets you one step closer to your goals. And the community is very welcoming since day 1. The music tunes are great especially since I thrive more during my workouts when that music is going! Thankful for the journey thus far!

Love the Fortify Community!

Can’t say enough good things about Marlow and his team. The coaching here is incredible and everyone is so welcoming. Try Fortify Fitness out and find out for yourself!

One of the best CrossFit experiences I've had! Marlow and the coaching staff are absolute rockstars! From individual nutrition coaching to workout goals and perfecting technique, I'd be hard pressed to find any other staff of this caliber! Highly recommend this gym for beginners and veterans alike!!

Great team atmosphere! The coaches provide excellent instruction for each exercise every time to help all class members avoid injury and get the most out of their workout. The gym is clean, safe and they put a lot of thought into everyone’s positive experience.

The coaches are so understanding and if l ever have a question they take the time to explain it to me. Shoutout to coach Marlow for believing in me and for making me use the 45lb bar even when l didn’t want to. I feel like I’m a part of one big family here. I still have a lot to le... More

I’ve been as member since they opened and could not be happier! Over the last 9 months, I’ve gotten control of my nutrition with their Ascend program with losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time. As the business keeps growing it keeps getting better!

Great programming and better people! There’s a place for a wide range of people from former college athletes and competing cross fitters to fitness first-timers.

Great coaches, workouts, and friends. If you want to be healthy, get in a great 1 hour of moving and have alot of fun, then this is the gym for you. I love this place.

This has been an amazing experience for me personally! I am someone that works better when there is a group atmosphere and a coach to refer to. This is exactly that. Show up, exercises up on the board, go to work. Everything is completely scalable for your individual fitness level or physical limitations. Great group of friendly people to work out with is awesome as well!!!

I’ve been a member at Fortify since the beginning. Marlow and his staff are top notch coaches. Each class is programmed and coached for great results. I highly recommend!

Fountain of youth! Great coaching. So glad to have these great instructors who adapt to everyone's different needs. Very thankful they are in our town.

Welcoming coaches and members from Day 1. Lots of motivation, support and fun while discovering a new level of fitness for myself.

I can’t give this place enough stars! The training is incredible and the community is even better. Not only am I the healthiest I’ve ever been, I’ve also found my framily here. It’s such a welcoming space, I encourage everyone to join us!

Such a fun group of people! I dropped in while in town for the noon class and had a blast! Great workout and awesome gym! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The programming and community is amazing!! Can't say enough good about Fortify!! It's a life changer.
