Our Member Testimonials

For almost 30 years I tried to get in shape. I'd start, push hard for a while, then life as a business owner and a dad of two would take over and I'd drop off — every single time. I'd convinced myself that was just how it was going to be. Two years with Cody finally broke that cycle. The difference wasn't more willpower on my part — it was having a coach and a system that kept me showing up. I've reached a level of fitness I couldn't get to on my own in 25 years of trying. I started at 232 lbs and 29.5% body fat; today I'm 212 and 20.3%, and I actually built muscle while losing the weight. If you've started and stopped more times than you can count, this is the place that makes it stick. — Josh · Broke a 30-year start-stop cycle · down 9% body fat, +3 lbs muscle

I knew I needed help. I'd paid for a trainer at another facility who never actually trained me — wasted money. So I came here and found someone who would. When I first walked in, I could barely get off the couch; I had to use my arms to stand. Lifelong severe asthma plus running a painting company left me constantly out of breath. Now I can squat, move weight, and do things with my family again. My pulmonary function has literally doubled. — Jo · Pulmonary function doubled

I'm writing on behalf of my special-needs son, Chris. He trains with Cody twice a week, and Cody goes above and beyond to make him feel welcome and part of the Forge family. When Chris broke his leg a couple of years ago, Cody was instrumental in his recovery — patient, kind, and always takes his time with him. As far as we're concerned, Cody and his staff are simply the very best. — Geraldine, on behalf of her son Chris
