I always thought a gym was for athletes. A lifetime of major medical issues that led me to chronic pain caused me to be at the end of my rope... the end of that rope was Forge Fitness. When I joined I told very few people. I didn't believe in myself so why would I think they would too? This was extremely uncharacteristic of me to enter the doors of a GYM!3 weeks in with only 6 sessions done and I have never felt so much encouragement. Life is hard. Where do you go and get continuous positive reinforcement, you don't have to think... just do what you are told, even if you need to be reminded to Just Breathe. I walk through those doors and feel like they are my family. They've got my back... literally and figuratively. I am already so much stronger. Have improved a lot. My mobility is improving. I feel stronger physically and mentally. I look forward to going. Thank you Forge Fitness Cody & Channing are good souls who are helping me change my life. I am made for more

They don't judge you on what you can or can't do on what you know or don't know. You just have to WANT to get better. These folks will help you get there.

When I first walked into Forge Fitness for my on-ramp, I had the most intense case of gym intimidation. My medical history included a rod in my femur, a plate and screws in my wrist, and another plate and screws in the radial bone of my left arm. On top of that, I was getting winded just walking up the stairs, I was planning a wedding I desperately wanted to dance at all night, and I was struggling to hold my growing baby niece. I knew something needed to change, but I had no idea where to start.I pushed through the anxiety of even walking into a gym and completed my on-ramp with Cody, fully intending to start classes. Thenliterally one day after finishingI broke my foot. Six weeks in a boot and on crutches. Most people wouldve thrown in the towel right there.But not me.I showed up to my first class on crutches, and Cody immediately adapted everything to meet me where I was and to support my recovery. All summer, I kept showing up. And little by little, things started to change. Daily tasks didnt leave me winded anymore. I felt stronger. I could handle more. My anxiety about the gym faded as I got to know the people and the community.When my wedding day finally arrived, I danced the entire night without getting windedand without being crazy sore the next day.Forge Fitness didnt just help me get stronger. It helped me get my life back. I genuinely dont know where Id be without it.
