Amazing gym, Lauren is so knowledgeable and great to work with. Her and her coaches have absolutely perfected my squat form and have given me the confidence and technical skills to lift weights. I got my husband who has lifted weights his whole life going as well and he loves it. Great for beginners and advanced lifters. Highly recommend!

I have been working with Lauren just over a year for nutrition specifically. It has been a wonderful experience. She has helped me in so many ways rethink how I see myself and my health. Today, I fully embrace my responsibility for my personal wellness and am grateful to have Lauren and the Forged staff as knowledgeable resources. If you want both expert support and a community, Forged is highly recommended.

Forged Barbell is an amazing gym and community. I worked during the mornings with Stacia who was knowledgable, kind, and encouraging. I grew stronger in an inclusive environment, and am grateful I found this gem!

Lauren is a very powerful coach. I had the honor of taking one of her strength training class and it is very different from all the others I’ve taken. She took into the account of breath, the QUALITY of movement and making sure each of us is able to execute each exercise with precision. This is definitely the way to stay strong and out of pain! Thank you Lauren!

I went to this gym having never lifted before. I am in my mid-40’s and knew I needed to increase my strength and energy. Lauren was amazing to meet with before I even joined. She made sure that she thoroughly explained things and knew what I was doing. Once I started she prescribed a personal plan for me based on my fitness goals and abilities. This is the first exercise I have ever stick to. Six months in I feel so much stronger (I know longer have to worry about being stuck in a foam pit at a kid’s play place). I also feel more confident with everything in my life. Not to mention that I look so different and fit that even my boss’s wife said something to me. This is a great gym no matter your skill level. There are very beginners like I am all of the way up to competitive lifters. I have never once felt awkward or out of place. There are so many amazing coaches and people at Forged Barbell!
