I was in the worst shape of my life. I had just relocated to the area, started a new job and was trying to adjust to a new life here in TN. I was nervous about getting back in shape and felt a sense of embarrassment. I found Forte online and it sounded interesting. I spoke with Adam a few times and decided to take him up on the offer of 2 free workouts. I went and met with him and told him my goals of shedding some extra weight and getting back into shape but didn’t want to be “jacked”. He made me feel at ease and was very understanding and supportive. After my two free classes I knew this was the spot for me. I signed up and have been doing 3 sessions a week. I’ve improved since I started and have truly enjoyed the relationship I have been able to build with my trainer. If you’re looking for a place to feel welcomed and supported in whatever your fitness goals are I totally recommend you give Forte a chance, you won’t be disappointed.

Forte fitness is a personal training studio offering three private training suites.I am particular about who I train with. It’s a personal policy to have someone with a collegiate background in exercise science/kinesiology. They have a roster of trainers who meet that requirement.My trainer is Connor. His workouts are tailored to your goals and ability, tracking weight/strength progress and developing a long-term plan that sees results and pushes your limit, but in a totally safe way. Detailed notes are always taken. He’s professional, polite, and personable. All exercises are clearly explained in terms of form and why you’re doing it. Managing form is definitely a major focus and plus. And, he is kind enough to play whatever music you like—like I’m into numetal okay. Overall an excellent representative for the company.The facilities are very clean, they have two big bathrooms / changing rooms with a nice shower. They also provide certain toiletries like shampoo, body wash, etc etc. The rates are a deal as far as I’m concerned. Management reaches out to check in on how it’s going. They’ve been around for more than a decade and it’s demonstrated in their management and staff.

Such a great company and facility! All of the Forte trainers I have had the opportunity to meet and train with have been excellent (Connor, Emery, & Pete). They are professional, knowledgeable, and truly motivate you to do your best all the time. Ive already lost 25 pounds and have made positive lifestyle changes that will continue to help me in the future. If you are ready to better yourself and your health, give them a call!

Forte Fitness has been nothing short of amazing! The one on one personal training and coaching has help me lose almost 20lbs since February and avoid certain knee surgery. Great place to build friendships and work on your fitness! Give it a try! You won’t regret it.

Simply put, Forte Fitness has been an excellent experience for me both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results are noticeable. Love their clean and well equipped facility, and their safeguards in place currently are well though out and well executed. My trainer, Ryan, is personable, professional, and mostly, effective. So glad I made the choice to become a client of Forte.

Love the one-on-one training and individual space to work in! The trainers are awesome!

I’ve really enjoyed my experience at Forte Fitness over the past five months or so. Luke has been great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and keeps the workouts interesting. My schedule is hectic so the efficient training sessions have been easier to fit into my week. I really enjoy just showing up and doing what Luke has planned for the session. Highly recommend.

I have been working out at Forte Fitness for over a year now and it has been the best gym experience I have ever had. The staff really care about you not only as a client but also as a person. Everyone is so friendly, and the atmosphere is so different from other gyms I have been to. The trainers are very knowledgeable and very open to working with your individual needs and wants. I have been working with Ryan for a year and I am now capable of doing things I never thought possible when I started my fitness journey. I told him when we started working together that I wanted to focus on improving my balance. He went above and beyond teaching me skills I would have never thought to try. It has even fueled my desire to learn more and explore new areas of fitness. I have reached so many goals with Ryans help. A year on I am able to do hand balancing techniques like the crow pose and the dragon pistol. My flexibility and strength have improved dramatically and I am now able to do back bends and spider crawls. I have also lost twenty five pounds and have never felt or been more healthy in my life. Every session is fun and enjoyable thanks to Ryans positive attitude and encouragement. I always look forward to working out because I know I will have fun even when Im doing something that I may not be particularly fond of. I wouldnt want to work out anywhere else. Thanks to Ryan and all of the staff at Forte Fitness I am able live the best and healthiest life possible.

This place is amazing!! Everyone is great and will help you achieve your goals but JJ is absolutely incredible. I was so impressed I got my daughter involved. We finally found something that works and we can stick with!!

I absolutely love Forte Fitness. I cant say enough about how great everybody is there! I LOVE my trainer! She helps me focus on my personal goals while helping me incorporate healthy habits into my lifestyle. Her focus while training is always on safety and form and FUN! I look forward to every session. Every substitute trainer Ive had was amazing too! On top of all of that they have great, comfortable, and clean facilities. I have to get ready for work there some mornings, and I feel right at home. Whether youre familiar with the personal training experience or a complete newbie, you will LOVE Forte Fitness! They have changed my life in such a great way!!! ❤️😁💪🏻🏋🏻‍♀️

I began working out with Branden Fain approximately 1 yr ago. I started with 2 sessions a week and in the past few months have transitioned to 3 sessions a week. His workouts are always the right amount of challenging, the right amount of sweat, and the right amount of fun. My strength and fitness have increased tremendously and we are constantly striving towards new goals. Branden has greatly improved my general knowledge of proper exercise technique and form. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer, he is awesome!

Ryan is an excellent trainer. He is very professional and knowledgeable with a multitude of exercises that fit my needs and fitness goals. I love the convenience of walking in and being ready to go immediately with everything laid out. NO time is wasted and I get a great full body workout in 45 minutes!

I have been training at Forte Fitness with Luke Bowling since October 2017. Forte is a unique and wonderful place -- they tailor your training sessions to your goals and meet you where you are in terms of your level of fitness. The staff are very encouraging and positive, and every time I go there, I feel like they are all rooting for me to succeed! Luke is patient with me as I learn, and he pushes me just the right amount. He explains why we are working on certain exercises. He helps me push myself outside my comfort zone so that I can be in better and better shape and move with strength and confidence. Thank you, Forte, and thank you, Luke!

On Feb.3,2007, I started with the center, now known as Forte Fitness, as they were able to meet the time constraints I had for workouts during the week and extended hours. My goal was not weight loss as much as losing some body fat by gaining muscle mass for increased endurance and fitness that would enable me to continue doing a demanding profession, yard work, and activities I love. In short an active life. The trainers and programs proved to be successful and addicting. Over the years the short term goals have varied but the staff have always been responsive and supportive. Keeping the training interesting and challenging and keeping me on tract. The formula works great for me.

Its great having a one on one trainer. The attention to individual needs makes the total difference. The atmosphere is great and the facilities are spotless. Meredith is awesome and pushes me to my limit while ensuring that Im not over doing it. Kyle you do a great job monitoring and keeping it together. I give this an excellent recommendation!!

I sought out Forte Fitness because I had gotten a little too sedentary, and I needed some motivation. I wasnt interested at all in a big gym and the atmosphere that can come along with it. Forte was perfect for me because not only is it one-on-one training, but its set up so you have privacy with individual rooms. All of the trainers there are beyond qualified, and there is a style of training available that will suit you. But I have to say, I was so happy with Meredith and Chad. Because of my ever changing schedule, I would train with either one or the other. They will push you, but just the right amount, so you wont dread going back. And you will achieve the results you went in wanting. Another reason I was so happy with Meredith and Chad is because I feel that now I can consider them friends :) Forte has a great, positive atmosphere and is very well run. Highly recommend.

Love this place! Great trainers; great management. They truly care about helping you meet your fitness goals. The owner actually calls you periodically just to make sure your experience has been top notch. Who does that any more??? Forte Fitness does! I am currently working with Meredith. She comes to my home a couple of days a week. It is wonderful. I am getting the same workout I would if I were actually going to their gym, but in the comfort of my own home! You could not ask for a better situation. If you are serious about getting stronger, having more energy and becoming healthier, Forte Fitness is your place!

My trainer, Jason, and I work well together. He listens to what I want to work on and he sets a plan in motion. Ive been very pleased at how his creative workouts help me meet my goals and in just 45 minutes twice a week. I get in there, work out hard, then Im out the door to finish the rest of my day. Thanks, Jason! Thanks also to Kyle who works diligently to keep everyone on target.

I really enjoyed the facilities in the Volunteer building. This place is private and personal. Always very clean and organized. I told my trainer Branden Fain what my goals were and he tailored my workouts to get the job done. He is very knowledgeable about what movements are needed to attain the goals youve set. He was very helpful when I wanted to know proper form compared to other ways Ive done some of the movements. Branden always made me feel comfortable and made sure I was getting a good workout without injuring myself. I would highly recommend Forte to anyone needing one on one training. They are so much better at this than going to a box gym. The personal treatment is worth it every time.

Went here to get a jump start on knowing how to work out. Trained with Chad for 8 weeks and he did a good job of explaining everything as well as getting me started on a work out routine. Corrected my form and gave pointers on what to do in order to maintain good form in the movements I have trouble with. Very pleased with my experience here and would recommend them to anyone.

Forte Fitness is THE place to reach your fitness goals. I am a new mom trying to get back in shape. The team created a customized workout and eating plan for me. Also, all clients are encouraged to workout at the location even on the days they are without their trainers. I love this for accountability reasons! I train with Jacqueline. She is awesome! I knew from the start that, with her help, I would succeed. After six weeks of working out with her, I am well on my way! Ive lost 18 lbs already! I would recommend Forte to anyone in Chattanooga looking to meet and exceed their fitness goals. I love the location and the facility, as well!

Forte is a great place. I started working out again after a few years of not doing much. Luke has been so helpful helping me ease back into the swing of things.

The team at Forte Fitness is absolutely awesome. I have been going to Forte Fitness for almost 6 years and have seen incredible results. One of the best things about Forte’s approach is their emphasis on progress not perfection. I tend to be a perfectionist in everything I do. Even when I have to miss a session, they never make me feel like I am starting all over again. They help me get more accomplished in a 45 minute training session than I ever could in an hour or even two working out on my own. I have referred several close friends and even clients to Forte Fitness, and all of them love the team, as well. I give Forte Fitness nothing but positive ratings, and I think they are the best training team in town.Sincerely,Jay Robinson

I came to Forte in search of a place that my wife and I could begin to exercise in view of the coming senior years. Basically if we do not do something like this, we will end up terribly limited in mobility in a few years. Neither of us wants that. Forte has proven to be the place that we were seeking. Competent professional trainers who care about the folks they work with, are always on their game. They do what trainers are supposed to do, push us to do more; but, they are a step above the rest in attitude, competence, and compassion. The atmosphere is relaxed, private, clean, well equipped; presenting an environment that attracts you back. I have been very impressed, my wife actually enjoys the workouts, and we are seeing results. Great place; I recommend it highly.

I love working out at Forte Fitness in the Volunteer Building. Its a great facility and the trainer, Branden Fain, is incredible. He does an outstanding job of tailoring my workouts to my goals, and making any necessary adjustments based on any injuries or ailments I may have. Hes a great motivator as well, and keeps me working hard during the course of my workout. He also is very flexible, and accommodates any changes I may have to my schedule.

Forte has been great. Russ has helped me get into shape after a bad back injury. His knowledge has helped me gain my strength back and Im more mobile than before. So thankful for Forte

I just started back at Forte Fitness after being off a few months due to a job and work schedule conflicts. I now remember why I first came here. So I just started with Danielle and she is great. Every trainer I have worked with are great. They are all a little different in backgrounds, but they all care how successful we are in our fitness goals. I am smaller, more toned, and much stronger. As a computer geek I have never been very athletic, but I feel comfortable in the Forte Fitness environment. This is the best thing I have ever done for my health.

I cant say enough about Forte Fitness, and specifically my trainer, Chad Bunting. In just a few weeks with Chad, Ive seen measurable improvements in core strength, balance, and Im simply motivated. Chad intuitively knows how far to push me to give me the best workout possible - a workout I could not and would not accomplish on my own - without causing injury or causing me to dread it. He is a fantastic motivator and encourager. It is evident that he is doing what he loves, and that comes through in each session. Book with Chad...you will not be sorry!

When I first came to Forte Fitness, I was looking for something to help me get into shape, lose weight, and feel better. This journey has not been easy but the trainers at Fitness Forte are there to help you along the way. They are very professional, friendly, up beat, and very encouraging. They care about you and what your needs are. They are helping me make life style changes that I hope stays with me as long as I live. Thanks to Forte Fitness and to the trainers for making me believe that you can change your lifestyle one step at a time. I am very grateful to everyone there that has help me on this journey with either a workout or just an encouraging word when you come in to work out. I have been going to Forte for about 11 weeks now and have seen improvement in my strength, flexibility, endurance, and have lost some weight and inches. I am feeling better each day and that is a blessing. Thanks again for all you do!!

Ive been working out with Branden Fain, of Forte Fitness, for about two months or so and have really enjoyed it. I am very focused on advanced, competitive tennis and the winter indoor season (on hard courts) is usually very hard on my knees and back/shoulders. Branden has tailored my workouts to help with these problems areas, as well as to address the major muscle groups, particularly core. Ive been playing tennis better and harder with less soreness and feel more fit. He does a very good job of motivating me but also making sure I do each exercise properly, with correct form, to avoid injury. He also does a good job of making me focus more and more on stretching and flexibility.

First rate training by first rate people. Kyle operates the business and couldnt be friendlier or more on the ball. My trainer Ryan (a soft-spoken guy who just happens to be a world-class athlete) designed a program to help strengthen my messed up shoulder. They kept me healthy, and now Im significantly stronger. If youre in a financial position to do so, go for it!

Forte in the Volunteer Building is amazing because of Branden! He is the perfect trainer for all ages, sizes, and levels. Branden makes sure to push you while observing your form to prevent injury. The facility is clean and so easy to use due to its location in my office building.

The trainers at Forte Fitness are exceptional. They genuinely care about their clients well being and can customize a work out for any fitness level. I have lost 120 lbs since I started working out with my Forte family. I am no longer diabetic and the healthiest I have ever been. My work outs are my stress reliever and the best investment I have made in myself.

I have been going to Forte Fitness for several months and love the place! Danielle, my trainer, is amazing. She has been very encouraging and pushes the right amount to help me achieve my goals. I love the individual rooms and the one on one training. Not only is she great, the whole staff there is welcoming and wants to help.

I have been at Forte Fitness for the last 2 months and have already experienced weight loss. I am down two pant sizes from the time I started. As a busy college student, the personal sessions help keep me on track. They use a variety of exercises that help to keep your workouts interesting and challenging. These guys have given me the encouragement and knowledge I needed to make lifestyle changes.

Danielle has been working with me twice a week. I can actually say I look forward to exercising! My sessions with Danielle are always fun. She knows how to keep it interesting - every session has some new activity with the old mixed in. And the best part is, Im seeing and feeling results! Im glad to have Danielle keeping me on track!

Forte Fitness has been a huge help in not only getting me back to my fitness routine but encouraging me and helping me reach my fitness goals. My trainer is knowledgeable and is a great source of motivation. The facility and staff are excellent. If you are looking for a great personal training experience and results Forte Fitness is Chattanoogas best.

Ryan Hutchenson of Forte Fitness is one of the most kind, caring, and compassionate people that I have ever met. I have Cerebral Palsy, so when he trains me it is radically different than the normal training program. He and I work together to retrain my brain to perform movements and tasks that will help me become more independent in my daily life. Ryan makes me feel like my goals are as important to him as they are to me. He is simply the best trainer that I could ever ask for. He accepts any challenge given to him with the enthusiasm and care. Now, not only do I have a personal trainer, but a friend as well. I am so thankful for Ryan and Forte Fitness for what they have done for me.

I have worked out with Forte Fitness for years. They have helped me stay fit and grow stronger through running and other sports injuries. The personal training is amazing at Forte Fitness, but more importantly, all of the staff and trainers care about you as a person. Your physical fitness will improve when you workout there, but the authentic relationships you cultivate will bless your mind and soul too.

Absolutely the most professional and experienced trainers in Chattanooga. Their efforts to get me back among the living after medical issues in 2005 have been remarkable. The environment is clean, well-kept with equipment up to date and always functioning. I cant say enough about the staff and how friendly they are. I attend Forte three (3) days per week and know their efforts have added quality to my life in addition to keeping me healthy. Definitely a five star company. Great company--great people.

My husband and I have been working out at Forte Fitness for a year and we love it! We both exercised regularly but wanted to improve our strength, core and feel more well-balanced. It has made a huge improvement and we feel great! All the staff are knowledgable, motivating, and friendly! Its not just hard work but a fun and friendly environment! Ryan and Anne Marie are our trainers and weve been with them since nearly the very beginning. We find them both to be tuned in to our goals, challenging but effective and people we would consider friends. We would not hesitate to recommend Forte and our trainers!

I have been a client for almost 3 years. I feel fantastic. My customized programkeeps me on track with my food and exercise. I feel fantastic!!!The employees and trainers treat clients like family. Fun place to be.Jacqueline Green is my trainer and she is a rock star! She is very caring and dependable.

Ive been working out with Forte for almost five months. The positive changes in my body are nice, but they dont compare to the ways theyve helped me heal my confidence, my attitude, and my spirit. At Forte, I have found support, kindness, expertise, and gentle accountability, all of which have been focused on the goals that I defined for myself. If youre thinking about giving this place a try, do yourself a favor and turn those thoughts into action.

I started training in the spring of 2013 and my life has been changed ever since! I remember getting on the scale and weighing over 200 lbs at 23 and feeling like a complete failure. It didnt matter what job I had, who I hung out with, who I dated, the lack of confidence in myself and the feeling of being a failure was always in the forefront of my mind. I had tried all the diets and exercise plans, none of them lasted very long which only contributed to the feeling of being a failure. Then I started training 3 times a week. It was (and still is) a huge financial commitment but I find that the investment in myself rather than the extra things like stuff, trips, etc. is so worth it and I dont regret it at all. Over time, I began to look forward to coming to the gym, to have the feeling of success after a good workout and to see the people that workout/train during my time slot. Over time, you get to know the trainers and the people that workout around you. Its a great feeling at the end of the day to walk in and see a friendly face that genuinely cares about not only you, but your goals.Matthew Walters is my trainer and he has stuck with me through the times I wanted to give up and walk away from health. He holds me accountable and pushes me to accomplish things I never thought were possible. When I fall off my diet or get discouraged he is patient with me until I get back on track and always encourages me to keep going.I no longer define myself as a failure or look in the mirror and hate what I see. I see a 25 year old woman who hasnt given up and is a work in progress. I have confidence because I know am working towards being healthy and fit.Ive lost over 40 pounds since I started training with Matthew and have about 30 more to go. Joining Forte Fitness is one of the best decisions Ive ever made! I would recommend training there to anyone who is serious about health and is willing to put in the work to get there.

Great one on one personal training. Luke is extremely knowledgeable in the physiology of exercise. He is an experienced and committed trainer that challenges my limits and motivates me to reach my goals.

The trainers are great, they somehow manage to match you with someone who fits your training style after just one meeting. All the trainers know your name and a good bunch. They push you when you need it and are encouraging with being too pushy or new age-y. Great place to get fit.

This is a great facility with knowledgeable staff! I have been training there for several years with various trainers and have always had a great workout. Training there definitely will keep you motivated and help you reach your own personal fitness goals.

After breaking my ankle and completing physical therapy, I wanted to work with a personal trainer to stabilize my ankle more before going back into a gym by myself. I had several sessions with a few different trainers at Forte and they were all wonderful.They kept detailed notes, and every time I came in the trainer knew exactly what I had worked on the session before and where to pick up. Everyone was aware of my injury and my goals with rehabilitating my ankle, and I left Forte feeling stronger, more stable and definitely more confident than when I started there.Whether youre looking for a stepping stone or a long-term fitness program, Forte is the place to go. I cant recommend them enough.

Ive been a client at Forte Fitness for about 8 months and have lost 42 lbs so far. I have a great relationship with my trainer and the Forte Fitness family. I can not say enough good things about Forte! All the trainers care not only about their clients, but everyone who walks through the door. The one-on-one relationship and accountability is just what I needed to help me achieve my goals.

Ive been going to Forte Fitness for a few months now. Its my second time training with the folks there. Im a repeat customer because the experience is highly rewarding, especially for someone like me who lacks the drive to tackle getting back into shape on my own. If youre in the same boat, save yourself wasted time and frustration and give them a call.I would especially like to compliment my current trainer Luke Bowling. During my time at Forte Ive been able to work with several trainers—all great—but Luke is truly exceptional at what he does. I appreciate his attention to detail and how meticulous he is when it comes to understanding my strengths and weaknesses and helping me get the most out of my time at Forte.

I am having a great experience at Forte. It is a non-intimidating environment where you can set goals and customize your path to achieve them. Luke has been really helpful in working around various injuries and has helped me adhere to a plan.

Ive trained with Jacqueline for over a year - she does a great job continuing to challenge her clients to improve while also being very encouraging and supportive. The one on one workouts are tailored to help me meet my goals and priorities, always taking into account any injury issues. When Im traveling, she will even FaceTime for my workout to help me stay on track. Everyone at Forte is so friendly and professional, and the facilities, and equipment are very clean and well designed. Could not be happier with their services.

Forte has designed a workout program that fits my needs and schedule. The workouts are tailored to you as an individual with your goals taken into consideration. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they will help you with diets, workouts to do when away, etc. Cant say enough good things about these folks!

I have been working out at Forte Fitness with Luke for about six months. They have proved themselves extremely capable of working within my limitations, and have helped me achieve fitness goals I didnt think possible. Luke is an excellent trainer, wouldn’t trade him for the world!

Forte Fitness is a great business that focuses on personal trust and care for their clients. I have been trained by Danielle for the past few weeks and she is great to work with! My workouts are always different and difficult but still enjoyable. Thanks Forte Fitness!

Had a great experience at Forte training with JJ! After being released from PT (knee surgery) my physical therapist recommended that I train at Forte to continue strengthening my knee. I only had about a month before I moved away from Chattanooga, but they worked me into the schedule. Super friendly staff, great setup, challenging workouts that are well-balanced and make you look forward to the next one. It would be difficult to imagine having a better experience elsewhere.

I have been working out at Forte Fitness for over 2 years and I absolutely love the personal, one on one training that they provide. The entire staff is helpful and friendly and the facility is always clean and inviting. I highly recommend.

The entire Forte Fitness team has made training there the best fitness experience I could imagine. They are a team of professionals, friendly, treat you with the utmost respect and work very hard to ensure that you are receiving the personalized training that you mentally and physically need. While I honestly hate exercise, I am smart enough to know that it is needed to age and to age gracefully. The three days a week with Daron has had benefits I couldnt have achieved on my own. I am stronger, I am in better condition from a cardio perspective and I am proud of my own personal commitment to myself and my physical fitness. Thanks to the entire Forte Team for helping me to be younger every day. I couldnt imagine a better experience or a better group of professionals to work with on the physical fitness journey.

I am 68 years old and havent exercised in decades! My son has consistently encouraged me to workout for years. Thats how I found Forte Fitness 1 on 1 personal training. Wow! This place is amazing. The first thing I notice was how clean the facility was, from the cardio room, showers, bathrooms and workout suites. I was really nervous about starting an exercise program at 68 but my trainer (Matthew) has eased those concerns with his professional approach and abundance of exercise knowledge. So let me share my results so far, I have lost 20lbs in 4 weeks, my balance, strength, and endurance has improved tremendously! Exercising at Forte Fitness has enabled me to tackle more physically demanding projects at home. Thank you Forte Fitness and Matthew for you support!

Very happy with my decision to train with Forte Fitness. Facility is great and Kyle does a wonderful job getting you all set up. You cant go wrong with any of the trainers, but Jaqueline will kick your butt!

Great facility, knowledgeable and motivating staff. I am doing a five week session and I am having awesome results! I was a personal trainer in years past, this group has got it together.

Thanks to JJ for getting me up and going. I joined Forte 18 months ago after a rather long sabbatical from exercise, I had become bored with my own routine and just stopped moving - at all for about two years. These 18 months later I am still coming back 2 times a week. Time flies while I am there, works outs are tailored to me and I am pushed just far enough to keep me coming back. I have been impressed with the entire crew since joining, they are a very professional group.

I have had great success working with my trainer Ryan at Forte Fitness. I have went from 345 lbs to an amazing 258 lbs. Thank you to Ryan, and all the staff at Forte Fitness for all of your support along the way.

I trained at Forte Fitness for three months and it was a wonderful experience. I worked with JJ and he helped me build a strong foundation that I was able to continue to build off of after my time with Forte Fitness. I am a runner so we were able to cater work outs to what would help me most. I would highly recommend Forte Fitness!

I cannot say enough great things about Forte Fitness. After a quite serious medical problem in 2005, I have regained mobility, endurance, flexibility, and strength from the workouts done three times per week. The trainers are absolutely the very best in Chattanooga. All exercises in each session are selectively chosen just for the client. They know what you can do. They know what you need. Evaluations are accomplished at intervals so progress is monitored relative to stated goals. Exercises for all sessions are recorded along with progress. I could not be happier with Forte. This is my ninth (9th) year so you know something must be working.

I can not say enough about my experience with training at Forte Fitness. Friendly, knowledgable trainers designed workouts especially for me and my needs. Not a moment of my time is ever wasted waiting on a machine or wandering around a gym trying to figure out what to do next. Within a few weeks I saw gains in strength, flexibility, a slimmer waistline, and an increase in energy. If youre ready to get serious about your health and willing to invest the time and energy into a real workout designed just for you, this is the place to be! :)

I ve been training primarily with Luke and others. Very pleasant experience. Overall very knowledgeable group who seek to improve your quality of life through an active lifestyle.

I have enjoyed working out at Forte the last 6 months. I have a chronic medical condition which makes it difficult to find exercises that dont aggravate my condition. Group classes are impossible even the beginner ones. I interviewed several trainers and visited different gyms before Forte but none seemed knowledgeable about appropriate exercise intensity for people with limitations. Russ is an exceptional trainer with in depth knowledge about body mechanics. He has been incredibly patient and is able to modify my workouts when I am have a bad day physically. My mobility and strength are much improved and I have been able to do everyday activities with less pain! Forte does a great job matching you with a trainer who will help you accomplish your goals.

I have been training with Jacqueline for almost a year now and she is the best! She continues to challenge me with new workouts but is always very encouraging and supportive throughout each session (no matter how much I may compain :) She really cares a lot about her clients and it definitely shows !

The staff at Forte have been amazing. I had a serious surgery and came to them shortly after being released from my doctors and a walker! After years of not taking care of myself to stay in shape, my first goal was to gain strength and stamina. Numerous reasons went into selecting Forte- but the number one reason I chose Forte over others was I felt secure that my trainers knew what they were doing and could keep me from hurting myself while still pushing for progress. They can easily make modifications for your needs - in my case not doing any moves that cause dizziness.When you walk in the door there is nothing intimidating- everyone speaks to you by name they joke around and keep it fun while still getting down to business. They help you set goals and attain them. When I started, a modified plank was the hardest and most frustrating thing.My absolute proudest day was planking - as in a real one not modified!During this next health issue, Forte has stayed in touch and my appointments are waiting on me when I can return. I firmly believe I bounced back before because Forte helped me so much with the strengthening of my body.

Ive been training with Luke Bowling at Forte Fitness for about 6 months. Hes a fantastic trainer: articulate and highly knowledgeable re: body mechanics, movement, and nutrition. He is patient with his clients, and takes the time to not only demonstrate new exercises, but to explain the way they function within and enhance the musculoskeletal system. Luke is also creative - I never feel like Im doing the same exercises over and over. He keeps it fresh. Highly recommend. (client: Jamie Quatro)

Been with Forte, and Matt for over a year now. He is an excellent trainer that not only motivates, but is concerned with proper form and correct exercises for each client. Prior to and after back surgery, he has helped 100 percent with the rehab process. Highly recommend!!

Ive been training at Forte for a little over a year and my attitude about exercise has changed dramatically. I never thought I would look forward to working out, but I do now. I came to Forte as a non-athletic person who had never been involved in sports or any type of weight training. I also started at Forte after a period of no exercise at all for nearly 6 months so the idea of starting from square one was pretty intimidating. Forte and the staff there have made it just the opposite.My trainer JJ is the best! He has taken the time to get to know me- he knows when to push me harder and when its too much. I know hes not going to let me be lazy, but I also trust that Im not going to be injured or hurt during a workout. I appreciate that he holds me accountable and challenges me to do things I never thought possible. He is encouraging on my worst days, patient when I get discouraged, and somehow always manages to get me back on track.Joining Forte was one of the best decisions Ive ever made and it has truly changed my life.

I’ve been working out at Forte with Kyle & JJ for a couple of months now and I love it . I have never been one to workout but now I really enjoy it and am excited to do it. They really know my boundaries and push me just enough ! I love it here and will be staying here for a while !

Branden Fain at the Volunteer Building is a Fantastic trainer! He is knowledgeable, professional and very dedicated to creating a holistic program to get me in the best shape of my life. Thanks Branden!!

I just completed a 12 week training session and highly recommend Forte and its trainers. I came to Forte as an occasional worker-outer. I occasionally ran, occasionally did yoga, occasionally lifted weights, occasionally did random group classes at the Y. I was looking to add some structure and discipline to my fitness and felt the accountability of working with a trainer would help me. And it did. There were definitely mornings when I did not want to go or when I had 5 million other things I felt I should be doing instead. But I made myself show up and always left feeling really glad I did.Forte is an extremely supportive environment. Kyle -- the manager -- was always there with helpful bits of advice and encouragement (without ever coming across judge-y). JJ -- one of the trainers -- was good at pushing me just past my comfort zone so that I left the sessions feeling strong and accomplished. Really, every trainer I worked with was awesome, each with their own style and approach to working out. I ended the 12 weeks physically stronger (visible muscles!!), with improved cardio (my resting heart rate dropped 10 beats) and way more knowledge about weight training and overall fitness than I started with.This is a great group of people with the highest standards of professionalism.

Very welcoming and well equipped gym; Luke and Kyle are knowledgeable and friendly trainers who care about what you want from a workout and work with you on your progress. Great location near Whole Foods, so its easy to get lunch and a wheatgrass shot afterwards! Easy parking too.

Imagine having 45 minutes set aside for your health and well being. Imagine someone writing a workout routine just for you and just for that day, taking into account your bum knee, your tennis elbow, your propensity for migraines, or whatever other issues you happen to have at the moment, but creating a workout so challenging that sweat drips off your face and wrangles your middle age jiggles so they are corralled into your jeans. Now imagine doing all that while talking to a friend who keeps encouraging you all the way. Thats what it is like working out at forte fitness with trainer Jacqueline Newman.

Forte Fitness is amazing, I look forward to going every week! It is such a great environment to be in and all the trainers are very knowledgable in helping you reach your goal. Meredith is great!

It is hard to put into words just what the people that comprise Forte Fitness have done for me. I can remember being 19 years-old and being nearly 300 lbs., on the “fast track” to a half-lived life. I was afraid of the gym, avoidant of real physical exertion, and I was ashamed when I looked at myself in the mirror and I wouldn’t face my situation for what it was: I had never really embraced any fitness in my life. I remember the day I decided that something had to be done; the day my 42” pants no longer fit. It was June of 2014. I’d heard about Forte (under a different name, but the same management) from a friend, who told me that it was a non-judgmental environment with friendly staff. It sounded like the right type of place, what with me being afraid of exerting myself physically around others, especially in a gym-like environment. My friend’s words, I discovered, rang true. I met Kyle Johnston (the then manager of Forte) who talked me through the process and answered any and every question I had, all with a smile on his face. From the beginning, I was placed with a trainer who knew anatomically what needed to be done to get me to where I wanted to be, through both physical and nutritional education. Over the months, I came in and sweat it out, never once having any doubt(s) that the people working with me didn’t know what they were doing. I would stay at Forte for a few months. I had started my journey…To make a long story short, I ended up coming back to Forte in August of 2018, nearly 4 years later. In that time I had my own up-and-down’s along my journey: I’d sporadically put on weight and taken it off, put on muscle and then let it atrophy, changed my diet only to end up putting junk fuel back into my body’s engine, and I’d seen the hills and valleys of my own mind when it came to changing just who I was. I’d had hundreds of personal training sessions, met dozens of various gym staff members, and gotten a lot of perspective on my situation. I knew this would be the last time, that a permanent change had to take place if this was going to last. I came back to Forte because, after all those gyms and various trainers, after all those years, I remembered the people at Forte… And I remember how they treated me… I lost 80 lbs. in less than 70 sessions. I can remember the day it started, too. Russ, my trainer, pulled me aside -- when I thought that I was cursed, when I didn’t know just what I was going to do with myself – and took the time to help me realize that changing one’s body is about much, much more than just what is physical, than what is corporeal. Never once did he ever doubt me, never once did he ever say that I couldn’t do this or that I couldn’t do that, and never once did he ever stop trying to help me become the person I am supposed to be…. I would liken very similar statements to every single person I’ve dealt with at Forte. I have met and been among truly great human beings, people who bring out the best in one another and in themselves. Day in, day out these individuals show up, faces grinning & eyes brilliant, seeking out to help others in any way they can… And I am very fortunate to call these some of these people my friends now. There is no place or group of people that I would rather expel my blood, sweat, or build upon with. All of this in a little spot, a couple of rooms, down by the riverside…If you’re asking yourself if this is worth it, it is. Few endeavors in life are worth the sacrifices and pain that accompany something like changing one’s mind and one’s body. You will be in pain, you will be in doubt, and you will want to quit. When those times come, and they will come, you’re going to be glad that you had people like these to push you forward. There is no doubt in my mind. The only question is: Are you ready?

Forte Fitness has been a source of great happiness for me. As a child and as an adult, I felt embarrassed and awkward with any attempts at exercise or fitness. Im clumsy and have never had much luck with coordination. One of the reasons I chose Forte was the limited amount of people that would see me make an idiot of myself. However, my trainer, Matt, has helped me grow my confidence to the point that I no longer feel like an exercise outcast. He has taught me how to have fun while working out and to laugh when I do something silly. He is supportive of my goals and has helped me be an overall stronger person. While I dont always look forward to going (a lifetime of laziness is hard to conquer), I am always glad when I leave because I feel better about myself as a person. I would not hesitate to recommend Forte for anyone and if you have the chance, you should request Matt.

I would like to take a moment to give my highest recommendations to the entire Team at Forte Fitness. The entire staff have been friendly, professional and motivating every day I have been there. The facility is well maintained and clean. The 1-on-1 training provides an individualized plan specific for you. The sessions are well planned and the routines are always different. The trainers I havent even worked with still know me by name. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable.I have been working to improve core strength and overall toning at Forte Fitness for the last 5 months. My exercise routine already consisted of plenty of cardio exercises but the personal 1-on-1 fitness training was exactly what I needed to reach my fitness goals. I am 52 years old and in better shape than I have been in 20 years.The manager, Kyle, worked with me for a month until finding me a great match for a trainer. Danielle has been my trainer over the last several months. She has a positive attitude and really inspires me to work hard. She is always encouraging and has me achieving goals that have even surprised me. I appreciate all Danielle has done and have enjoyed working with her. I have looked forward to my workout sessions and feel better mentally and physically. I truly believe that personal fitness training has been a worthwhile investment at Forte Fitness. Thank you Danielle.

I have always been an active person but got stuck in a rut. Forte and my trainer, Jody, has gotten me out of that rut and has pushed me beyond measures I did not know were possible. I have been training for only 2 months and I have seen a significant improvement in my endurance, my inches lost, my fat lost, my muscle and strength increase, and not to mention, my motivation to continue. I am excited about the improvements made and look forward to the improvements and accomplishments in the future.

My time at Forte Fitness has been so helpful! They keep me motivated, and push me harder than I would push myself on my own. I would highly suggest it.

Signing up with Forte Fitness is one of the best things I have done for myself! Prior to joining Forte, I would easily get burnt out with the same routine every so often, looking for something new and challenging... I often felt like I wasnt pushing myself hard enough but thats where JJ, my trainer, has far exceeded any expectations I had for 1-on-1 personal training. He keeps it fresh by changing up the routine for each session, always pushing me so I can achieve the results I desire. Feeling better than I have in years, I look forward to another 6 months with JJ/Forte Fitness. Highly recommend!!

Forte Fitness is truly amazing and has helped me change my life. I am a 23 year old professional who gained weight during my time in college. My trainer is awesome, he pushes me to do more than I think I can do and encourages me every step of the way. I have lost over 30 pounds and I could not have done it alone. My trainers gives me guidance on what to eat and ideas for workouts when Im on my own. My body is important and it deserves my full attention. That is what Ive learned and developed at Forte Fitness.

I had an excellent experience with Meredith. She was knowledgeable, thorough and I felt motivated to learn from her. I look forward to our next session.

More than anything, I love the accountability, personal and private space, friendly and knowledgeable trainers, and above all RESULTS! In one year I have completely transformed how I look and feel. With consistent advice, constant attention and pushing my limits, I have achieved so many of my goals I had to set new ones! Thanks Forte for taking me down this road of health and fitness and giving me a middle aged life thats better than my twenties! All of the trainers are so positive and willing to work around any special needs that arise. Thanks Kyle for alway making a spot around my busy schedule and helping me hit my goals by coaching me to go three to four days week! That was the key difference in my transformation! First Class is the only way to describe Forte! Thanks again!

Meredith is a great trainer with an enormous amount of knowledge. She cares for her clients and it is reflected in the quality of her sessions. She is an amazing trainer and person.

I am not new to working out but this is my first experience with personal training...WOW- wish I had found this earlier!! Forte Fitness has figured this out. They have an awesome facility with a vast array of workout equipment for all needs. The most unique part though is the quality of the trainers that they have working for them. I train with Jaqueline and Daron. Jaqueline knows the problem areas of women and really tailors the workouts to focus on that. Make no mistake, she is just as tough as any male trainer! Daron is so knowledgeable and his up beat personality makes working out so much fun. The workouts are organized and planned before I ever walk in the door. The variety of exercises keep things interesting and how nice is it to have someone demoing what is expected, monitoring your form, counting your reps and cleaning up behind you! Worth every penny! The manager Kyle will make sure that you are happy and is constantly checking in to make sure that you are satisfied with their services. You can bargain shop and get what you pay for or you can spend a little more and get quality. For the first time in my life I look forward to my workouts! Thank you Forte Fitness!

I joined Forte 6 weeks ago to get shape. Over the 1st 6 weeks, I lost over 12 pounds and 7.75 inches overall. Great Trainers and very pleased with my progress!

I feel like I have a partner in my adventure toward better health and fitness. My trainer customizes my workouts and cardio plans just for me and also recommends outside resources such as nutritionists. I am not going at this alone, and it feels great!

Though Im new to the Forte Fitness fam, I can already see an improvement in my muscle and cardio strength, and in the way I look. Jacqueline Newman is an excellent trainer who pushes me through challenging, varied and yes, even fun, workouts. I can count on her to keep me on my toes--literally and mentally! The facility itself is top notch, well equipped, clean, and conveniently located. I can honestly say theres nothing I dislike about Forte Fitness!

Ive been working out with JJ Jackson at Forte for a little over 3 months now. Ive been in and out of gyms for the last 30 yrs. Ive had personal trainers in one on one and a group setting. I must say that JJ by far has been the best I have ever experienced. He has far exceeded my expectations. He makes you want to get healthier without it feeling like a task master standing over you. I must admit for the first time in my life I look forward to going into a gym. The facility has a very home like quality to it. Everyone there is very personable and makes you feel welcomed.

I love Forte Fitness, I have been train there fo Long time it feels like and I have fun. I know that the work. Out are good for me and I fill the burn the next day but good thing have come form it like the fact that my muscles are showing up more.minfell good from working out .I love all the trainers and I fine myself always laughing and leave to go home in a better mood.

I cant praise the team at Forte Fitness enough! I have known for years that I needed to get more exercise and focus on improving my health, but as a 63 year old overweight female the last thing I wanted to do was workout in a group in a large gym. My workout at Forte Fitness is in a private suite and is tailored to my needs! I have the undivided attention of my trainer who is well prepared and understands my limits as well as my goals. I lost over 10 lbs the first month, and now -for the first time in 30 years - know that I can reach my goal and keep the weight off! Even more important is the fact that I feel great! Give Kyle a call and schedule your assessment ASAP. You will not be sorry!

Meredith Garrett has been a great personal trainer for me. She took a sedentary old geezer and helped me transition into what will hopefully be an active retirement.

The staff has been very helpful. My trainer, Dainelle, customizes my workouts to help me meet my goals. She makes working out fun.

The staff at Forte Fitness have been a life saver for me. They have helped me regain strength from shoulder and back surgery. They guided me to better nutrition and have helped me reduce my heart rate at rest from 98 bpm to 62 bpm. Exercising at Forte Fitness has helped me reduce my stress level from work also. I am in better shape and healthier now at 49 than I was in my 30’s. I could not have done it without the help and guidance of the staff at Forte Fitness. The personal attention and private training area helped me overcome my uneasiness of working out again after so many years. I highly recommend that you go by and get a free session and evaluate it for yourself you won’t regret it.

The personal attention and relaxed atmosphere make meeting my goals that much easier.
