Our passion is to share this knowledge to help others. Joining Forge means gaining access to more than just a gym. As a proudly locally owned and operated establishment, we offer unique benefits that most others can't.

We only do what works. Backed by the latest exercise science.

It's A Structured Program

The Forge Body Roadmap program is meticulously planned and programmed 8 weeks in advance, this helps ensure muscle groups are worked well and not overworked, it also makes sure there is adequate time for rested and recovery. This is the reason we split train muscle groups on different days.

Rest and recovery of muscle groups is crucial; it is as important as workout time, as this is the time magic happens and strength growth occurs. Strength gains do not grow in the gym, the gym is for work, the rest is for growth.

Not only does split training and advanced body-map programming help yield desired results, it also helps prevent overexertion and body fatigue from overtraining.

Over working the body during workouts is the third largest course leading of injury in the USA.

Forge does not perform crazy unsafe, high impact or movements that are made up more for show. Fundamental movements are back by science to be the most and safe when performed correctly.

We track all relevant weights, reps and sets and metrics. This is not only a must for progression, it is a must to know your safe starting point when loading weights.

We Keep You Safe

Only The Best Certified Trainers

The Way We Train

We have learned from experience that by keeping class sizes smaller, our team can spend the quality time needed for a successful outcome.

Do you want to learn movement quality and body mechanics? If you want a efficient and effective workout with real results you do! We teach correct technique and form this is crucial, not just for safety, but because it is the foundation of exercise. We teach which specific muscles need to be activated, the proper tempo, control, and the correct weight to be used.

A lack of individual, correct instruction can prolong the journey to achieving desired results. If movements are not performed correctly, this can lead to injury. Performing movements incorrectly, repetitively can lead to permanent damage. This may not become a problem when young but will in later years.

It's all about doing our best to keep you safe and maximizing the benefits from every movement.

We take our clients safety and our work seriously.

It's real strength training + cardio. That deliver the best results.

The Perfect Fusion of
Strength + Cardio

We believe the Forge program has perfect fusion of both strength + cardio for the desired result.

We firmly believe that progression based strength training and intense conditioning (cardio) yields powerful results.

Correctly instructed and performed strength training changes the bodies composition, by building lean muscle mass. While intense cardiovascular training helps contribute to cutting unwanted body mass.

We are not looking at building you into the body builder, our program is to help build a athletic toned body.

Cardio will improve your muscle endurance and heart/lung heath and capacity. While weights will increase your strength and strength endurance. In addition, as cardio pumps blood and oxygen more efficiently through the body, the muscles you work on will have a greater ability to recover and build.

Let's Get Going

Nutrition Advice, Support and Accountability

Let's keep it real in some cases exercise is not enough to reach your desired results, it depend on your body composition, your metabolic system and your genetic makeup.

We offer a program led by our highly knowledgeable, certified nutrition coach. This program provides guidance, support, and accountability for 12 weeks at only $145. If you are truly committed to making a difference, we encourage you to consider this opportunity. We believe it will equip you with skills you'll retain for a lifetime, and if followed, will significantly enhance your quality of life.

Exercise is very important, but it's only one piece of the puzzle. Nutrition plays a crucial role in overall health, well-being, and weight control for every individual. Making you poor if you make poor food choices is a huge problem.

Our certified nutrition coach helps clients achieve their health and fitness goals by providing personalized dietary guidance, educating them on proper nutrition, and offering support and accountability. They assess individual needs, develop a plan, and adjust strategies based on progress and feedback.

There are many things to take into account with a fitness regime. To grow lean muscle, you need to know what protein is required. Keeping your energy up from working out, you need to know what to eat, portion sizes, and what is in the food we are eating. Our nutrition coach can help with this.

Forge does not recommend gym diets as these can destroy the metabolic system. Additionally, 88% of people put the weight back on within 4-5 months (it is a fad). This is not sustainable. They are gimmicks to draw people in; no educated trainer or gym that knows about nutrition and the body should ever recommend these.

At Forge, we promote lifestyle habit changes over time. Yes, our program will help with weight loss, but we do not look at it this way. We aim to help create sustainable habit changes for a better, healthier, and more vibrant life over the long term

Heart Rate Monitoring

Tracking/Training

HRM training is useful for understanding your body's response to stress and load when exercising. It aids in identifying the optimal training zone, allowing for more efficient and effective workouts. Additionally, it signals when it's time to increase intensity. When used correctly it can help avoid overexerting your heart or pushing beyond healthy limits.

Challenging yourself and enhancing endurance are key to achieving fitness goals. For high-intensity workouts, we recommend using a HRM.

Body Scan

The InBody machine is a very expensive, non-invasive analysis tool that gives a breakdown of your weight in terms of body fat, muscle mass, and water weight.

Go beyond the scale with the InBody test, body composition analysis. Your comprehensive yet easy-to-understand measurements will display in 15-20 seconds, on your phone in the Inbody app. You can view your progress in seconds.

No more pinching. no more guessing. Get results you can work with, which will help understand what is going on inside you.

The Inbody is used in conjunction with the 12 Week Accelerator Starter Plan.

This plan is at an amazing price with all the extras
