Not a gym to go to if you're looking to get into body building/weight lifting (personal opinion/ don't have to agree).

pros
-turf area for stretching and calisthenics.
-decent sized cardio area.
-large windows for sunlight.

cons
-all the weight lifting equipment, especially smith machine and power rack, are squeezed into an area that is not nearly large enough. Half the gym is extra rooms and space that could house all the equipment they currently have, which would probably benefit the majority of people who have a membership. The giant empty room they have I'm sure is used for classes (cross fit and whatnot), but if a majority of people paying to use this gym don't also pay for those classes (which I hope enough people do to make it worth doing that, and to void this con entirely) what use is cramping all the machines uncomfortably close to one another.
-one singular deadlift platform (not even at the power rack).
-planet fitness sized DB rack.

Edit:
Most gyms that aren't a gold's gym don't cater to bodybuilding. However, cramming all the equipment that your "everyday person" (likely the majority of the gyms income) uses as tightly as this place does, isn't logical at all. Pretty sure the everyday person isn't looking to spend 40+ USD for fake kickboxing or cross fit classes. But go off I guess. Owner needs to post physique. I'm either talking to a toothpick or a blob, you didn't address anything I said before the edit. Just said "no :D" like a 5 year old.

This review is mainly for their weight loss program. Dr. Pohl who does the initial consult was my OBGYN for the past 20 plus years and is very knowledgeable about women’s health and nutrition. He does his research and I trust his recommendations and advice, so if you have reservations about what to get on or use, he can answer all that for you. I’ve been doing their semaglutide shots and weigh in monthly since October and have lost over 35 lbs. His son Evan sends great nutritional/motivational emails and now does the day to day emails if I need anything. They are responsive and a great team. I would recommend.

MOM REVIEW. I started attending this gym last week and so far so good. I needed something in my price range w/ daycare to get a consistent workout regiment in each week. This was hard to do while I was attending crunch. My kids love the daycare area (3 year old and 6 year old). Everytime I go to pick them up they ask for more time there😅. The daycare person does rotate but that isn’t an issue for me. They’re supervised and have various toys to keep them entertained.

Will lie to you about cancellation terms. I wanted March to be my last payment. No longer needed the membership past April. Staff said I had to wait until after the March payment was processed if I still wanted to use the gym in early April. So I did as they instructed. Now they are charging me another payment in April and running my membership through May. They are citing the contract says next month is charged after cancellation but employees at the gym are telling you otherwise. Stated they cannot confirm what employees say. So the employer has no responsibility for their employees? … I’ve used Forge as a gym on and off a few times when needed. Never again.

I recently rejoined this gym after moving out of town a year ago. The gym is spacious, clean, and has all the equipment to get started right and has other options to join such as the sauna and has great personal training options. The staff and customer service is what brought me back to this gym. I’m excited to be back in this gym and continue my workouts where I left off. The positive atmosphere definitely motivates me to keep coming back.

Mothers beware!!
My husband was a member here more than 5 years ago, and I accompanied him as a guest once or twice, for which he paid a guest fee. After relocating back to the area, this gym piqued our interest, particularly due to its child care services. As a stay-at-home mom, leaving my 2 year old in someone else's care isn't a decision I take lightly. I was eager to take advantage of the free trial to observe how my son would adjust to the child care environment before committing.

I was upfront about my past visits as a guest, but during the tour, when I attempted to register for the trial, the system wouldn't allow it due to my previous status as a PAID guest. I suggested using a different email to create a new account, with the sole intent of evaluating the child care services before making any financial commitment. However, this suggestion was promptly dismissed, and I was informed that, despite never having been an official member, I could not access the free trial. Even after reaching out to the owner, I was met with the response, "Sorry, that’s our policy."

I am genuinely astounded by the complete indifference this establishment shows toward MOTHERS AND CHILDREN. All the verbal assurances regarding child care services are meaningless if I'm not allowed the opportunity to assess the environment before paying two months' worth of fees. Without that fundamental trust, I cannot, in good conscience, proceed with membership.

I will gladly take my business elsewhere—where both my child and I can feel safe, valued, and welcome.

So far I have been coming to Forge-Rx for 2 months and I can say my overall experience has been extremely satisfying. If you are in the winder area and want to start your health journey look no further. The gym has every strength training machine you could possible think of along with a cardio room up stairs. They also have a sauna that you can pay extra for if you so choose to do so. The staff are very approachable and friendly and willing to assist should have any questions or concerns that you may have. The people that attend the gym are very polite and super respectful to each other. Definitely a great gym and highly recommend if you are in the area.

Overall, if you want to change your lifestyle and make health and fitness your lifestyle this a great place to start. They also have programs that you can sign up for to work with a personal trainer that will help you out with your workouts along with your nutritional recommendations.

Been going for close to a month now and this is without a doubt the best gym I've been to , I've been to about 4 different commercial gyms in the last 5ish years around the Winder area and this gym just has it all and more.

Trust me when I say that you don't get a better offer anywhere else, $25 a month for a gym that has equipment you wouldn't find at other gyms at the same price. There's even availability for personal trainers and nutritional coaching (from what I've seen) and even hormone therapy overseen by a doctor! (where else would you find that?)

People here are some of the friendliest and welcoming I've seen at a gym and you won't have to deal with over crowded equipment and rowdy crowds.

Yes, the gym itself isn't as giant as a LA Fitness or a Lifetime but if you're in the search for a more than reasonably priced gym that has everything you'd need then this is the best gym in the area.

Be wary of these guys. I made three separate attempts to cancel my membership in person along with serveral calls that all went unanswered. The first two times I went there, there was no one at the desk. First trip I waited 20 minutes. Second trip I waited 15 minutes. Today, I actually got someone to help me. The person had me fill out a form but refused to process the cancelation while I was there, saying she was busy and no one else could help me. So I left the form at the desk and called back later. This time someone actually answered the phone when i called. He processed the cancelation and informed me that I'll be charged in October, despite the fact that they charged me last week (early September). I'm moving and will not have access to this gym. I've been trying to cancel the membership for weeks. They don't care. They have a policy of charging for an additional month after cancelation, and made it clear they intend to charge me despite my multiple attempts to cancel because "We are a small gym, we teach classes and hve other duties so we can't always man the desk and phones." Don't join this gym unless you to deal with this kind of treatment. If they do charge me for another month, I fully indent to dispute the charges with my financial institution.

Shoutout to Evan Pohl at Forge-Rx!!

I came across an ad on FB for a 21 day challenge. I went ahead and decided to do it. I had lost a good bit due to getting off a medication that had blown me up, treating some medical conditions, and some life style changes. But I had around 10 stubborn lbs I COULD NOT get rid of. Evan has been super helpful and knowledgeable, and most important to me, being educated and experienced, being able to help those like myself with health issues and medications to lose. That’s such a big problem that I know many understand. I didn’t just lose, but I did in a healthy and balanced way. One that is sustainable, unlike things I’ve tried in the past. I did had difficulty losing at 1st. I seriously thought my body was done. But Evan, you went above and beyond to help adjust things as needed and help me reach my goal and tone. The confidence in myself to maintain has increased. Whether you want to lose, want to gain, to maintain, whatever it is, Evan can get you there. If you need a trainer and health coach, Evan can hook you up. The gym is mad clean and everyone is super sweet. Thanks so much!!!

I have NEVER been a gym person. I have always been active but, mainly outdoors or in a yoga class. My husband joined LTF in 2015 so he could use the pool and we paid a little extra for me to become a member. I went a handful of times and just couldn’t get motivated. I just didn’t feel like I fit in. And being 35 minutes from home it wasn’t convenient. So, when I approached Evan at ForgeRx I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve always been thin but, I really want to be strong and toned. And I had concerns about Going to classes and not fitting in.

I have to say. It’s only been since Feb 10th but, I love it. I look forward to going and I really enjoy the people I get to work out with. No one makes me feel less than and we are all working to be healthy. It’s all about fitness and nutrition and no one cares or notices if my clothes match or if I’m wearing designer clothes.

I love Becca. She is awesome at training and motivating me. She pushes me but not so much that I won’t return. Evan really knows his stuff too. My first day he gave me a cheat sheet on diet. Things I should eat and what to avoid. He discussed protein at every meal and he follows up with me. But, he is a realist and he doesn’t make me feel bad about throwing in the odd piece of chocolate in my diet.

And they have CHILDCARE ! What a blessing! They are wonderful and my daughter has fun. And childcare is CLEAN. I see the young lady constantly with the wipes cleaning all the tables and toys.

I already feel healthier and my muscles feel tighter. I enjoy going and I’m glad I can go there without interruption and work on me for a small part of the day. And I love that I can workout knowing my daughter is safe and happy.

I’ve been going to this gym for a month now and my kids love the daycare and actually look forward to going into their classroom with their teachers. I love the classes and my instructors. Evan and Becca are so welcoming and I love that they encouraged me in every class to push myself and correct my technique if I’m doing something that could potentially injure me. Also the members are so nice the first day I got in there everybody made me feel welcomed and when we are doing exercises together they cheer me up and push me to finish strong. I’m so glad I join a gym with this atmosphere of helping and cheering you on. Best decision I made this year so far💪 (the gym is super clean and they keep everything very organized which is a plus)

Love this place. I have been going to gyms most of my life and never enjoyed exercising in any of them, atmosphere is everything to me when I go to exercise it helps put me in the right frame of mind. Everything here is top notch from equipment to the trainers. I never used trainers until I joined Forge and its made all the difference in the world to my overall health and physique. I attend the semi-private classes with Cody and have never had a bad workout. I've never felt pushed to do an exercise that I wasn't comfortable with, I'm 47 and I don't need to be injuring myself, the trainers know my limitations and strengths and build my workouts around that. Staff is super friendly and always helpful. I moved over the summer but still drive out of my way to attend classes and exercise at Forge. I would never do this with any other gym. A huge thank you to the men and ladies of Forge!
