Two Great Workouts. One Key Difference: Flexibility.
Boutique fitness has exploded, giving people more ways than ever to get stronger and fitter in less time. Two names that often come up are SWEAT440 and MADabolic, both deliver serious results through interval-based training.
But while they share the same purpose, how they get you there is completely different. Here’s how each system works and why SWEAT440’s all-day schedule and balanced programming make it the easier choice to stick with.
SWEAT440 vs MADabolic: The Workout Philosophy
Both studios use intervals to push intensity and recovery, but their philosophies fit different lifestyles.
SWEAT440 is built for real-life consistency. Every 40-minute class moves through four 10-minute stations that mix strength, cardio, and core work. A new class starts every 10 minutes, so you’re never late.
Across all studios, you’ll find the same proven rotation:
- Strength – Lower: Build power through legs and glutes.
- Strength – Upper: Sculpt and define your upper body.
- Athletic Conditioning: Move like an athlete, agile, strong, and quick.
- Hybrid – Full Body: The perfect blend of strength and HIIT cardio.
MADabolic, on the other hand, leans into a strength-first mindset with its M.A.D. system: Momentum, Anaerobic, Durability. Sessions are 50 minutes, structured, and heavy on resistance work.
What’s the Price Difference?
SWEAT440 keeps things transparent and flexible. Pricing may vary slightly by location, but the structure stays the same: no contracts, no hidden fees, and only 28 days’ notice to cancel.
Example (Miami studio):
- Unlimited Monthly (no contract): $189 / month
- Annual Membership: $1,899 / year
- Monthly Class Packs: 4, 8, or 12 visits per month
Every new member gets a free first class, and all studios offer the same expert programming and flexible schedule.
MADabolic pricing depends on location. For example, $198 / month (12-month unlimited) or $228 / month month-to-month, with 10-class packs at $258.
Cancellation Policies: What You Should Know
SWEAT440:
- Class cancellations: You can cancel anytime before your class begins—no penalty.
- Consistency across locations: The same easy cancellation policy applies at every SWEAT440 studio.
- Memberships: Cancel anytime with 28 days’ notice. No long-term contracts or hidden fees.
MADabolic:
- Class cancellations: Each franchise sets its own policy. To avoid being charged a late-cancel or no-show fee, you must cancel within your local studio’s cancellation window. Missing this window results in forfeiting the session and being charged the late fee.
- Membership cancellations: Policies vary by location. Members must contact their specific gym directly to understand cancellation procedures, terms, and any notice periods.
- Be aware: Always confirm your local studio’s policies to avoid unexpected fees.
Class Structure: How Workouts Differ
SWEAT440
- 4 stations × 10 minutes = 40-minute workout
- New class every 10 minutes = 50 + start times per day

MADabolic

Which Gym Gives Faster Results?
Both deliver results if you stay consistent, but SWEAT440 makes consistency easier.
MADabolic’s structured strength model builds endurance and power over time. SWEAT440’s HIIT-style approach boosts metabolism, burns calories fast, and drives measurable changes in less time.
Because SWEAT440 classes start every 10 minutes, it’s easier to build momentum and maintain the real secret behind faster results.
