Testimonials

Going to Forward is such a rewarding experience. (Seriously, though) The instructors are warm and welcoming (always chatting and making newbies feel welcome before class) and the classes are challenging enough to strengthen you physically and mentally while giving you a safe space to explore new techniques and movements. Laura’s barre classes are great and Amanda pumps up the energy in dance and trampoline (which I honestly suck at, but she’s so good at making me feel comfortable!) There’s so much variety; something for everyone. The new owner, Jon, is incredibly friendly, and truly caters to his clients. Highly recommend it!

I have been going to Forward Fitness since it was formerly Define. This place has become my happy place. I usually take the 6:30 AM classes and this place makes it so easy to wake up early in the morning and go workout. The instructors are some of the amazing people I have ever met. They make each class so much fun. I took Amanda’s 6:30 AM Cycle class yesterday morning and the energy she brings is unreal!! Especially at 6:30 in the morning. I am so happy I found Forward Fitness when I did. I love this place too much.

Forward fitness is amazing! The classes are so much fun and also very challenging. The music and choreography are unbelievable and I have a great time exercising! It’s such a warm and inviting community. The instructors are incredible and provide personalized attention! Overall a wonderful place to be!

I LOVE Forward Fitness. I have been going there for over a year, mostly when it was called DEFINE. Luckily the amazing instructors all stayed, and nothing significant has changed. The classes are great, the studio is clean, and most importantly the energy in there is SO positive. The instructors are all so fun and friendly- it definitely makes the challenging workouts enjoyable!

I have been a member of Forward Fitness since it was Define. It’s such a positive, welcoming and empowering community led by some of the very best instructors! Amanda is one of my favorite instructors. Her classes are so fun and challenging. She is always welcoming and motivating. There is no better gym in the area in my opinion. The people make all the difference!

I love the vibe, energy and the pure fun I get out of these classes. It’s the whole team that takes the experience of fitness to a whole new level. My favorite classes by far have been yoga , dance, and trampoline. The Instructors are full of life and are encouraging.

I have been going here since Define and they first opened their doors. It is my favorite place, my fitness haven and love taking spin, barre and now Amanda's dance cardio class. All the instructors are warm, welcoming and provide a fun and challenging workout. I love the variety they provide under one roof!

I LOVE Forward Fitness Studio. Though there are many boutique studios in the area, it's HARD to find one with a true sense of community, & GREAT classes. I usually have a favorite instructor (it's in my nature) but not here. I take everyone's class - they are knowledgeable, caring, prepared, & educational. I always find myself connecting with someone, laughing, or singing in every class. That's what makes it so great- being there is fun and working out there is fun. GO TRY IT.

A small boutique gym is the way to go! Forward Fitness offers a wide variety of classes all in one place. The instructors are so friendly and knowledgeable and it makes you want to work out because you know you'll be missed. Jon (the owner) and his team are always coming up with challenges to keep you motivated and going to class. Most recently my Forward team won a $250 charitable donation to a charity of our choice. This challenge is the prize for store credit. You get to chat with people after class in this friendly gym. So I wholeheartedly encourage you to take one of their many classes. You'll LOVE it!

I look forward to Amanda’s bounce class every Sunday and Tuesday! She taught me to step out of my comfort zone and I love that it is with a supportive and fun group of women! Amanda is so energetic and inspiring and motivates me every class!

I love the variety of classes offered at this gym, I’m never bored of one workout style. The instructors are all great and so sweet. It’s a very inviting studio and you become part of the community right out of the gate, I highly recommend this gym!
