Sergio the Owner is not just knowledgeable--he truly cares about each athlete's progress, health, and mindset. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned competitor, he meets you where you are and pushes you in the most encouraging, professional way. The facility itself is top-tier. It's clean, well-equipped, and full of great energy. You don't just get stronger here--you grow as a person and athlete. I'm grateful to be a part of this community. 10/10 would recommend to anyone serious about powerlifting or just wanting to level up in life.

ForwardFit is not your typical gym. It's a warehouse style, no-frills type spot that offer various…read morefitness classes from Metabolic Circuit Training, Boxing, Tabata, TRX, OCR training and yoga. I only dropped in for 1 class, as I don't live in the area (out of state), but if I did, I would definitely join. There seems to be a nice variety of classes offered and I can imagine they are all quite challenging and offer a great total body workout. I tried the Metabolic Circuit class and it definitely kicked my butt. The class focused on a combination of several exercises, each done for 30-seconds with a 20-second recovery in between where you move on to the next exercise in the rotation. Some of the exercises included in the class I took were skull crushers, burpees & pull-ups, weighted squat, bus drivers, TRX push-up to plank, kettlebell snatches, and a shuffle with ball slam. All of which were killer and worked out my entire body. The class began with a short warm-up, followed by 3 complete rounds of each exercise in the circuit. We finished out the class with a 5-minute challenge which included kettlebell swings, air squats, push-ups, bent over rows and sit-ups. AMRAP within 5 minutes. And of course some post-class stretching. Bill is the main trainer. He is very friendly and has great energy. Bill added some humor here & there throughout the class here to keep everyone smiling. He consistently checked in on me during the workout to make sure I was using proper technique for each exercise and helped make adjustments to my form as needed. There were two other trainers on-site as well during the workout encouraging participants and helping with form adjustments to keep everyone safe. Side note: they also offer post-workout nutrition (bars and fresh smoothies), and massage as well. **Didn't snap any pictures as I was pressed for time, and also too busy getting my butt kicked. But Bill snapped some pics and made them into a collage he posted on his Instagram, so I will save and share that one.**

Short and sweet classes (1 hour each) are led by trainers that keeps you moving and burning some serious calories. The Metabolic Circuit class totally kicked my butt the first time I went. The class is set up so you do 30-seconds of an exercise, 20-second recovery through 10 exercises. That's one round. Bill, the owner and one of the trainers, will push you through 3 rounds and then a finisher, which is sure to wear you out. (Battle rope for 3 minutes, anyone?) The boxing classes are SO GOOD. I should note that these classes are boxing fitness classes - this is not a boxing class were you'll end up fighting someone. Most work is done on punching bags, but there's also plenty of other exercises mixed in. Boxing has been my favorite class so far because it's something I had never tried. Discovering it has been a fun experience that doesn't end up feeling like dragging myself to a gym for a class. I can't say too much about the yoga classes because I've only been to one, but it was alright. I'm much more interested in the circuit and boxing classes. The thing that really makes this gym special is the people. Since it's class based, you see the same people almost every time you go. They are a welcoming group and very encouraging. I was blown away that the group cheered me on as I finished my finisher in my first circuit class. Bill has made an awesome gym and an even better atmosphere and community to be a part of.

I have been to lots of gyms and boot camps and I didn't know what to expect from here. This place is like small group personal training. You sign in when you enter and then warm up. Then you move along the stations doing each for 1 minute with time in between to switch and catch a drink. The trainers are there to watch your alignment, help you set a challenging level and encourage you. You are not on your own! At the end of the circuit, you have a cool down and you are done! The trainers help you make it challenging and you don't have to figure out what to do, they've already done it for you! When I was there, I saw people of all ages, shapes and sizes. All were working hard and many had lost several inches through the program. Stop in and check it out!

All timed for a minute each, it's great. The staff keeps you motivated the whole time. When you're done with the stations, you move to the cool down video, again, it's great. Can't get much easier, I love it. Thanks guys!

This location Charges parents to supervise their children during youth open gym hours even if they aren't playing or participating. My son is 8 and obviously can't go to the open gym alone.

Hope this is something that can be addressed as everyone in this community deserves fair opportunities to enjoy these amenities.$19 for an 1hr in the gym is ridiculous.

Where do I start?…read more upon initial tour I was kind of impressed, but I hadn't really looked anywhere else (MY MISTAKE!!) and signed up right away. my very first class I went to was called cardio dance. It was on a Saturday and the instructor was Angela. I could barely keep up with the class. It's like she's dancing to herself in the mirror with tons of jumping, and I don't know why people equate jumping with fitness. You can get a workout quite effectively without jumping around anyway she came up to me at the end of the class and told me because we were the same height that I should "look like her" and I was completely offended... not only is that ignorant. It's completely wrong because somebody's bone structure is not the same as somebody else's . Furthermore he should not be insulting somebody that's a paying member that's trying to better themselves. Then I took a pool fitness class. That's right here has to be the worst experience I've ever had in my entire life. On this particular day, one of the instructors I like didn't happen to come, and Terri showed up. I knew I should have left because I had already had issues with her for some reason she does not like me and doesn't try to hide it. You get the people in the pool that stand in the back row and all they do is talk and you can barely hear the music or what the instructor is saying and nobody says anything to them, but the person that's trying to better themselves that has injuries is being yelled at saying I'm "not working hard enough" or "push it harder"... even though I have injuries so on this particular day, I got screamed at in my face in front of a class of people And I was asked why I'm wasting her time and not working hard enough?!? I have an injury yet TERRI told me to push through that so I did and ended up almost five months on bed rest Another instructor tells you a move and stares off into space for about 5 minutes, then repeat. Super fun! Formats aren't followed correctly. You get classes here that cancel with very short (or no notice at all)! when you find an instructor that you like, they end up leaving or have previous commitments. Needless to say I have canceled my membership. I found somewhere that is less expensive that offers more. This place does not have a hot tub. They do not have tanning and they do not have massage chairs. People are not very friendly here and that's not conducive to feeling comfortable. And I have had at least four people tell me they are not comfortable there because they feel like they're constantly being judged so this cannot only be me that fails this way I can go elsewhere and feel totally accepted. No matter my size no matter my injuries and have every amenity that I want and then some . Yesterday when I tried to cancel well, I'm sure you can imagine I was met with more rudeness which only solidified my decision and I had gone back-and-forth with this for five months and there's no point in wasting my money for something I'm not using and I'm not happy with I would just say look around a little more might find something with instructors that actually care if you succeed. Here you're just another number and they don't really care and I'm not going to miss it. I've already lost a lot more weight going elsewhere and I'm a lot happier.

So, I went in for a consultation and was hooked. It's not a large location, but the heart is large in this one my friend! I now train with Kevin Ryan twice a week in a small training group. The price is reasonable for the small group and the workout is never boring. Kevin is always available via text or phone if I have nutrition questions or questions about anything else. He is encouraging and I look forward to my workouts. If you're looking to lose weight, or improve your health, I highly recommend checking this place out. You'll feel supported, encouraged, and most of all - you'll see results.
