Forge Fitness is more than a gym, it’s a family! This is the most professional well kept gym that I have ever been a part of! Their coaches are very knowledgeable and they have top of the line facilities. You cannot go wrong with this gym!

I joined Forge about a year ago as a brand new crossfitter. The coaches and more experienced athletes were more than willing to help me out every step of the way. I have never experienced such a supportive community! We truly are a family. I have grown so much as an athlete due to the top notch coaches and programming and I have met some of the best friends I have ever had here. I can't give this gym enough praise!!
- Emily L.
Couldn't say enough good things about Forge! The coaches are awesome and always trying to help you improve. The gym is huge, has great equipment and alway kept clean. The showers and sauna are a plus. And most importantly the members are very supportive!
- John C.
Probably the best gym I was ever a member of. The coaches were attentive and knowledgeable. The members were so welcoming. I restarted love of fitness here. I was so sad to have moved away. Haven’t found a gym even close to this one.
