BUILT BY RESULTS
"When I moved to chowchilla I wanted to find a local gym, and I am so glad I chose Forge. It isn't fancy and looks a little rough on the outside (tbh this made me feel LESS intimidated than a fancier gym) but the people who go there are great and the equipment can do everything you might need, if you need guidance just get some personal training (for a very reasonable price!) With owner Scott George to show you how to use it, but you will probably continue training with him! I saw results so quickly and never felt more comfortable with free weights (even after being a high school track athlete and training off and on since then). There is more male presence but I never felt uncomfortable, the other gym members are all so welcoming, supportive and helpful! You can tell everyone is family. Scott is a great gym owner, more so trainer and just an overall amazing human being in more ways than I say and help you with every aspect of your health journey!! Try it out, you absolutely won't regret it!"
— Christine R., General Fitness Client"I was intimidated by barbells before Forge. Now I feel strong and capable."
— Sarah L., Beginner"I'm not gonna lie… I didn't love every workout with Scott. Upper arm day was straight evil. Like, "who invented triceps?" evil. I complained a lot. (Okay, I complained too much.) But Scott didn't care. He just looked at me like, "Yeah, you're doing 10 more." Scott has this magical ability to make you laugh while you're suffering. Like, he'll say something so funny that I forget I'm about to die doing curls. He's basically a comedian with a stopwatch. He sees potential in you even when you don't see it in yourself. And he'll hype you up like you're already famous. I swear he's the only person who can make me feel like a superhero while I'm literally struggling to lift a dumbbell that looks like a feather. And the best part? He's not one of those trainers who acts like he's too cool for you. He gets along with everyone. He's the type of guy who makes you feel comfortable and confident, even if you show up looking like a hot mess (which I did… often). We still keep in touch, so clearly he didn't regret training me. If you want results, motivation, and a trainer who will make you laugh so hard you forget you're sweating, go to Forge and ask for Scott. Your arms might hate you… but your sense of humor will thank you."
