- We don’t chase trends.
- We don’t sell shortcuts.
- We focus on what lasts.

“From day one, we wanted to build a real training space for ambitious people. That’s never changed…”
Owner of Forge Fitness Gladwin
founder
Certifications
My journey towards owning Forge Fitness began 10 years ago as a sophomore in high school. I started for the same reasons as most, to lose some weight and be a better athlete. It gradually turned into something that I obsessed over more than the sports I trained for. I began driving up to Forge Fitness in 2017 just before my senior year, and started working here shortly after. I got my personal training cert, and trained clients both here and in Midland for several years while studying Finance and running track at Northwood. During these years I gradually accumulated a large quantity of equipment and took over my dads pole barn (sorry dad.) In early 2022 I got the message that Forge Fitness was for sale, and the rest is history.
