I <3 Crossfit Forte! Evan and Katelyn (the owners) are the BEST! Let me break it down for you... Coaching: Their level of coaching is incredibly detailed and thoughtful. They go over all the moves as a group each class. They adjust your form when needed (which is frequently for me since Im pretty new). They also scale the workout to your specific needs and not just give a general way to scale leaving you to wonder what you should be doing. Evan is also great at pushing you past what you think your limits are, making you even better than you knew you could be. Mobility: Theres a strong focus on mobility because they really want you to be able to move your body well for the rest of your life. I love that since Im pretty sure wed all like to be deadlifting in our 80s if we so choose. We do it every class and theres a dedicated class on Sundays. Community: The community aspect is also fantastic! Since Ive started there, Ive felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable, not only by the owners but also the other members. I went to a couple of other boxes in Nashville and this is by far the best community Ive seen. Theres encouragement during class from everyone. Also, there are activities outside of the gym if you want to participate. Space/Cleanliness: The gym is clean and spacious and we wipe down equipment after we use it which is nice. There are towels, lockers, and water for you to use as well. Newbies: This place feels really comfortable, even for a newbie. Youll see people of all shapes and sizes doing what they can do. Dont be scared of crossfit... it will change you in ways youll never expect. The intro classes here are very detailed and will help you ease into it. Other Coolness: They host specialty classes to help you improve your form such as clean and jerk or double unders. They also do food challenges to help you meet your nutrition goals. Its great that they are really focused on the full picture. They use Wodify to help you keep track of your past workouts so you know how youre improving. Overall, its really, really awesome here! Come to the intro classes or drop in and find out for yourself!

I joined Crossfit Forte a couple of months ago. I was a little hesitant to join because of the perceived cult like environment, but I had to do something. I grew up playing sports and have always been fairly active and athletic. However, I had some back issues that required surgery and I became fairly sedentary over about a three year period (some due to the back and some because I became lazy). I went to the required remedial class and was shocked at how out of shape I was. I believe I may have been the worst in the class. However, the coaches were very friendly and I enjoyed pushing myself. After those classes, I decided to join. I have been going three days a week and I am still the worst (talk about a kick to my ego when Im doing "girl" pull-ups and the girl next to me is doing full muscle ups). Everyone in the class is extremely nice though. They all started at the bottom at some point and are very encouraging. All of the coaches understand my fitness level and adapt each exercise for me. I have never once been made to feel embarrassed or inferior of the others. They walk a fine line of encouraging me and pushing me and I cant fathom anyone doing a better job than them. I have been shocked at how my cardio, flexibility, and strength has increased over such a short period of time. I wont lie and say I look forward to class each day, but I will say that I feel great after it is over and I feel so much better about myself. If you arent at the fitness level that you think you should be, go and take the beginner class. Evan and Katelyn Beach will take great care of you!

Before I chose CrossFit Forte, I looked up different places. I always want to have and be the best so after all my research I picked CrossFit Forte. I love how complete they are, their equipment, floors and fascinating are in excellent condition. The information provided in their website it was very helpful and help me my decision. The prices were the best in the area and love that they appreciate military and law enforcement by providing a discount. Thank you! The coaches are very professional and very encouraging. They are patient and assess your needs and abilities to make sure you get the most out of your workouts. I am very happy and pleased with my decision to join this amazing facility.

I was travelling for work and in search of a Crossfit in Nashville. Crossfit Forte was very nice about allowing me to jump in and workout in the group setting. I ran to the Forte from my hotel in the district (about 1.5 mi). Everyone was very friendly and the community was great. Where I do Crossfit is a little different (workouts are not beamed in from the mother-ship) but thats fine and it was great to see another environment. The workout was great. There were all different levels of represented and I was happy to have gotten a solid workout in. Then I ran back. All smiles. Thanks for letting this Crossfitter from Minneapolis feel at home. Thanks for the t-shirt too!

I have been a part of CrossFit Forte for a little over a year. The coaching staff, in my opinion, is one of the best in Nashville. I have dropped in to several CrossFit gyms in Nashville and CFF is one of the best. Not only do the coaches invest time in their athletes, but the other athletes do as well. We have a great community full of welcoming, friendly people. The workouts are challenging, but well worth it. Ive personally seen a complete overhaul in my physical appearance and I give 99.9% of the credit to CFF.

I started at CrossFit Forte about 3 months ago. Evan and Katelynn are great instructors and motivators. The classes can be tough but everyone is there to push you further than you would on your own. I used to just go to the Y and lift weights and thought I was working out. The results are impressive. The people in the classes are very friendly as well and I have made some new friends. I would definitely recommend Forte to anyone.

I was completely new to all things Crossfit. Evan and Katelyn took their time making sure I got everything correct and encouraged me along the way. They are a great team of coaches providing constant support throughout each workout. The workouts are always engaging and I always leave better than when I entered. I highly recommend CrossFit Forte to everyone new and experienced with Crossfit.

Dropped in from out of town and had a great experience. Props to Coach Jake and the regular members, who were super welcoming. Highly recommend this box and will definitely return when back in Nashville. Miscellaneous observation: Im almost sure I was the only person wearing Nanos. Ive never seen so many Metcons in one room. Somebody there deserves a Nike sponsorship, lol.

You wont find a better (or cleaner) gym anywhere. The coaches are top notch and focused on safety above all else. The community of athletes is made up of all different ages and fitness levels. Everyone is supportive and encouraging - no gym-timidation. Hands down the best place in Nashville to improve your fitness and have fun while you do it.
