EJ MEARS

“I chose Forge and training with Hal when I was looking for some guidance with recovery and mobilization after chest surgery in early 2021.

I was drawn to Forge by the spirit of community and inclusivity that Locky, Tina and Hal have built the organization on. As a non-binary person some other gyms are not safe spaces nor have they put the intention that Forge has into ensuring all members have equal access to facilities.

I have never felt as welcome as I do at Forge, I have never felt as strong as I do and I have never trained to such a high level with no injury or chronic pain. The community at Forge is one that I am very proud to be an active part of, even now as we look at another forced closure I know that community spirit and support will endure through the distance.”
