Twisted Fitness Gym

Today is the day!!!! We are wishing B Smith “happy hunting” in the Ring today! Go get what’s yours!! You got the whole twisted family behind you!

Some of the best moments happen between workouts.

We were excited to see Jenny and her son, Rogue, training at Twisted at the same time.

They may have different goals and train in different programs—Rogue trains Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while Jenny puts in the work in the gym—but they're both investing in something that lasts: their health, their strength, and time spent doing something positive together.

We love seeing families train under the same roof, encouraging one another and making fitness part of everyday life.

Thank you for letting us be part of your family's journey.

Growth isn't measured by one match—it's measured by the willingness to keep showing up.

This past weekend, members of our Alliance Jiu-Jitsu Madison team represented Twisted Fitness with determination, sportsmanship, and countless hours of preparation behind every match.

The medals are exciting—3 gold, 7 silver, and 3 bronze—but they're only part of the story.

What matters most is the commitment to learning, supporting teammates, and becoming a little better each time you step onto the mat.

Whether your goal is competition, fitness, confidence, or simply challenging yourself to do something difficult, we're proud to build a community where people encourage each other to grow.

Congratulations to everyone who competed. We're proud to have you representing Twisted Fitness.

💪🥋

Congrats to Austin and Tim for their Gold Medal performances this weekend. While they have both competed several times, this was their first gold medal.

What's the secret?

Aside from consistency in their training, they both invested in some Private lessons.

While we gain a lot of knowledge and skill in classes, sometimes having a Black belt spend one on onetime with you, deep diving into a technique or situation that is troubling you, can really open up your game.

If you are feeling stalled out or really wanting to hit that Gold Medal spot in competitions, Sonya, Mark, and Mike are all available for private lessons. If you are interested, just ask the Coach you would like to work with to schedule a time.

This past weekend, Steven Spencer traveled to California to compete in the Santa Monica Strongman Classic, an elite competition featuring athletes from around the world, including competitors from Giants Live, World's Strongest Man, and other top-level Strongman events.

The result Steven was most excited about wasn't a placing.

It was this:

After battling injuries over the past few years, he said this was the first competition where he finally felt healthy again and able to perform the way he knew he could.

Sometimes the biggest victory isn't standing on the podium.

Sometimes it's earning the opportunity to compete at your best again.

We're incredibly proud of the work Steven has put in to get back here, and we're excited to see what comes next.

Congratulations, Steven! 💪

Most people see the show.

What they don't see are the hours of planning, wiring, fusing, testing, and setting every board before the first shell ever leaves the ground.

Building a professional fireworks display isn't much different than anything else worth doing—it rewards preparation, precision, and attention to detail.

We hope everyone had a safe and memorable Independence Day with family and friends.

See you back in the gym this week.

Happy Fourth of July!

One of our favorite traditions is spending a day building a fireworks show for family and friends.

Fireworks have been part of both of our lives since we were kids, and after all these years, we still love every minute of it.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we're grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and for those whose courage and sacrifice helped preserve them.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and memorable Fourth of July.

🎆 Fourth of July Hours

A quick reminder that we'll be open 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 4, with no classes.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Congratulations to Natalia on an outstanding performance at the IBJJF American Nationals!

Natalia earned bronze in her division and bronze in the Open Class, stepping onto the podium twice at one of the toughest tournaments of the year.

Success like this isn't built on tournament day. It's built through hundreds of training sessions, consistency, resilience, and the willingness to keep showing up when no one is watching.

We're proud to have you representing our team.

Congratulations, Natalia! 🥉🥉

Freedom is easy to celebrate.

Living in a way that's worthy of it takes intention.

The older we get, the more we've come to appreciate that capability isn't about being the toughest person in the room. It's about being prepared to help, protect, lead, and carry responsibility when life asks more of us.

That's one of the reasons we train.

Not because life is something to fear.

Because capability gives us more ways to meet a hard one.

Train to be capable, not comfortable.
