I found Forward Fitness while searching for a personal trainer to work with me on some muscle imbalances due to a hip condition. Mike completed a Functional Movement screening and he and Nick completed a training course to get me started. Soon after my first meeting, I started Physical Therapy (in efforts to prevent surgery). Forward Fitness staff worked with my PT to ensure my workout program was complimentary to my PT sessions and respected any limitations. I quickly felt I like I was getting more out of Forward Fitness Semi-Private sessions than from the PT sessions! When I realized surgery was inevitable, Nick and the Forward Fitness team worked with me toward carefully building strength while working with my structural limitations and challenges from my hip condition. I completed my last session with Nick on 7/14 and had hip reconstructive surgery on 7/17. By the end of the first week, my home PT informed me that while I am the oldest patient hes treated after this procedure (most patients are in their teens/20s, Im in my 40s), I am the STRONGEST! My surgeon anticipated Id be on crutches for a few months, with very limited weight bearing on my operative side; however, I have been making progress ahead of schedule and started walking with only one crutch at 5 weeks post op! I owe a great deal of gratitude to Nick, Mike and everyone at Forward Fitness for helping me prepare for this surgery and setting me on a wonderful course for recovery! I am excited to return to Forward Fitness soon, to work on getting stronger than ever!

I joined Forward Fitness almost 4 months ago. I signed up to do the Fit Camp classes. They are awesome. Here are some things that I love about Fit Camp classes: 1. They are in a safe environment - its indoors (Im fairly intolerant to heat and prone to almost passing out) & theres a rubber floor (SO much better for your feet and joints) 2. They have amazing playlists of music. It usually varies in style. 3. The teachers seriously watch out for your form. They TRULY want you to do things in a way that doesnt injure you. So many gyms say they care about your form but dont correct it when they see you doing it wrong. So expect to get some little tips in a totally friendly way. Also, if you have any injuries you can tell them. I sometimes have to ask for modifications because of a previous injury and its not a big deal. 4. They have lots of class time options. And you can sign up online. Love. 5. The classes are 45 minutes. Heck, if I can break a good sweat - swell up some muscles, and be in a better mood (hello endorphins) in 45 minutes - Ill take it. Its smaller and more personal than the typical big meat market gym. And being "personal" doesnt mean that its awkward either, because its not. Its friendly :) If you like people knowing your name, people smiling at you, and people caring about your fitness journey - its here.

Mike and his staff at Forward Fitness are second to none. They helped me form a fitness regime structured to my needs, my body and most importantly....my schedule. They helped me see that I had it in myself to drop 20+ lbs and keep it off! Their assistance has helped lead me to a have a healthier life and has made it possible for me to enjoy a much more active and fun filled lifestyle with my family of 5. I would recommend them to anyone looking to better their health OR up their game with some of their more advanced workouts. AAA+++++

I highly recommend Forward Fitness. The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Classes are varied in content from day to day, which keeps things interesting. The class sizes are small enough that the instructor can monitor everyone for form. Several classes are held each day, so nearly anyone would be able to find an accommodating time for their schedule. The gym is small enough to be personal, and the members are regular people.

Great gym with awesome staff who have great knowledge and are always motivating me to push myself. They create a fun welcoming atmosphere that is much better then a large, corporate gym.

I love that they screen clients for future injuries before you exercise there. I also love how it feels like a real community. I also get a great workout!
