FAQs

For most adults, free-moving weights like kettlebells, dumbbells, and dballs are a safer and more effective way to train than barbells. Same results, much smaller injury risk. A barbell locks both hands into a fixed path and requires mobility through the shoulders, hips, ankles, and mid-back that most adults don't have. When you load heavy weight onto a body that can't quite get into position, the body finds a way to make it work, and that's usually how people get hurt. Free-moving weights let your body move the way it's actually built to move.

Owners typically focus on team leadership, performance management, and business growth.

The model is designed to support both owner-operators and those who prefer to build a team and take a more strategic role over time.

As the business matures, many owners transition toward a higher-level role while relying on trained staff and systems to run day-to-day operations.

Most boutique fitness concepts compete in saturated, undifferentiated categories.
MADabolic is built on a strength-first model with structured programming, high retention, and a clear market position. This creates:

• More consistent member results
• Stronger retention and recurring revenue
• A more stable and scalable operating model

In a crowded market, differentiation isn’t optional—it’s what drives long-term performance.

No—but you do need strong operational discipline.

Many of our most successful franchisees come from backgrounds outside of fitness, including corporate leadership, multi-unit operations, and entrepreneurship. The model is designed for operators who can follow systems, build teams, and execute consistently.

We provide the training, programming, and support—your role is to run the business.

MADabolic is built to remove complexity so you can focus on growing the business.

Our model includes:

• Centralized, proprietary programming (no need to design workouts)
• Dedicated business coaching and performance tracking
• Proven marketing systems and campaigns
• Technology infrastructure and ongoing updates
• Structured onboarding and staff training

50 minutes, 4x a week is 3 hours, 20 minutes total. Less than one episode of your favorite show per day. Most members find that once they start, the energy gain makes them more productive in every other part of their life — not less.

Building muscle is the most efficient way to lose fat long-term. More muscle means a higher resting metabolism. Cardio burns calories during the workout. Strength training burns them all day. Members drop body fat while the scale stays the same. They're trading fat for muscle.

Smart programming reduces injury. It doesn't cause it. Our ratios, progressions, and stability work are designed to protect joints and build durability. Members come to us injured and leave strong.

Good. That means you have the most to gain. We don't expect you to walk in athletic, we build you into one. Total beginners, members carrying 50+ extra pounds, and people who haven't worked out in years all train alongside our most advanced. Same class. Different intensities.

Most of our members started exactly where you are. Every movement is taught from the ground up, every weight is scalable, and every coach has worked with complete beginners. Your first month is about learning the system. The strength comes after.

You're not the problem. The programming was. The industry loves to throw random hard workouts at you with no structure, no progression, and no coaching that knows what real strength training looks like. Your body adapted to "just sweating," which means it stopped changing. Real change requires consistent stress on the same muscles, real rest between efforts, and form coaching that lets you actually lift heavier over time. That's what we do — and it's why members who never saw progress elsewhere finally see it here.

Reservations must be cancelled within your respective location’s cancellation window (varies by franchise). If you fail to cancel, or do not show up for your scheduled class time, you will forfeit your session and be subject to your location’s late cancel/no-show fee.

Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your reserved class and be sure to check yourself in at the front desk kiosk. Class begins promptly at the scheduled time and the doors will lock. No entrance will be permitted once class begins, as the guidelines and demonstrations provided at the front end of class are critical to your safety. Be great, NOT late!

"Strength training" has become a marketing word. A lot of places use it while running classes that are really just cardio with weights. Real strength training means heavy load, lower rep ranges, real rest between sets, and progressive overload week over week.

Strength training is essential if you're on a GLP-1. Up to 40% of weight lost on these medications is muscle, not fat. Resistance training prevents that. Our program is designed exactly for this.

Plan to get here 15 minutes early. There's a quick bit of paperwork to knock out, and heads up, we can't let anyone join less than 5 minutes before class starts, so give yourself the buffer. Once paperwork's done, your coach will walk you through the whole day: every movement, every station, until you're comfortable with all of it. Then class starts. Fair warning, this is the part where people get hooked.
