When I first joined Forge Fitness in July 2024, I was scared and unsure of myself. I expected judgment and intimidation, but instead I found encouragement, support, and a fitness community that felt like family. From the very beginning, Chris and the Forge coaches believed in me and guided me through a life-changing weight loss journey.
Over the past year, I’ve lost 191 pounds and gained a new outlook on life. Chris pushed me beyond limits I didn’t think I could reach, always with patience, care, and expert coaching. On the hardest days, when I walked into the gym feeling defeated, he was there with encouragement, reminding me that I was stronger than I believed.
Forge Fitness isn’t just a gym — it’s a supportive community that transforms lives. Thanks to Chris, Austin, Zac, and the entire team, I not only transformed my body but also rediscovered my confidence, joy, and strength. This journey has been more than just fitness; it’s been about reclaiming my life.
