Strength Training in Madison —
personalized Coaching for Every Level
Hi, I’m Jeff Branske , a certified personal trainer in Madison WI.
At Branske Strength and Performance, training isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Whether you're completely new to fitness, returning after time away, or looking to build on your foundation with structured, goal-driven coaching, every program I design is built around your unique experience level, lifestyle, and objectives.
As a training coach, I work with clients of all backgrounds—from beginners who’ve never touched a barbell to experienced lifters refining their technique. My focus is to help you build strength the right way: with safe, sustainable progress, quality movement, and smart programming that evolves with you.
My approach goes beyond just “working out.” As your coach, I’m here to help you build confidence, improve mechanics, and create habits that stick. Each session is guided with purpose—designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay injury-free.
We train inside Capital Fitness, a well-equipped gym in the heart of Madison, WI, with everything needed to support your growth—no matter your goal.
If you're looking for a fitness coach who listens, adapts, and keeps you accountable, you’ll feel at home here. Your path to real, lasting results starts with a plan designed for you.

Client success stories
Here’s what my clients have to say about their results and experience working with me — from first-time trainees to Worlds-level competitors.
Martha M.
From Good Lifter to Worlds-Level Competitor
"When Jeff first saw me lift, he recognized potential I hadn’t fully tapped into."
"Since then, he’s taken me from a good lifter to a Worlds-level competitor."
"His coaching goes far beyond writing tailored and smart programs. He’s sharp with technical feedback, dialed in with game plans for training cycles, and an absolute pro when it comes to meet-day handling so all you have to do is show up and perform.
But he’s not just a coach for powerlifters ... his knowledge and attention to detail make him a great choice for anyone looking to get stronger, move better, and take their fitness to the next level!"
Katie S.
Years of Consistent Results
"Choosing to work with Jeff has been one of the best decisions I made in my fitness journey. From my initial consultation and through the many years of remote training, he always makes sure my training program aligns with my ever evolving goals.
He is always prompt with his response times and has open communication. Additionally, he is not afraid to push his clients outside their comfort zone and seeks feedback consistently with every program written to ensure his clients are successful and consistent. "
"No matter if you a new to the fitness space or a seasoned lifter-Jeff has a program for you!"
Katie's 1-year progression
Henry G.
Life-Changing Progress in Just 3 Months
"I have been working with Jeff for the last 3 months and it has truly been life changing. Not only has my strength gone up dramatically but I am learning how to isolate each muscle through proper form."
"Jeff knows how to push me every workout but also do it in a way that prevents any risk of injury."
"He has been so on top of my programming to where we are always getting one step closer to my goals.
We get to try new things each week and he has even identified my weaknesses and mobility issues, implementing speciality movements to help in these areas. I will be working with Jeff as long as possible and I am 100% confident I will always continue to progress under his training and programming. I highly recommend!"
