GRACE CHEN

“Prior to joining Forge, I had frequented a number of gyms in which the priority was getting in and getting out as quickly as possible. My experience at Forge has been wildly different; never before had I worked out in an environment of such camaraderie, community, and commitment. I found it extremely inspiring, both for training and for encouraging me to expand my social circle to include a wide array of vastly different personalities, all brought together by a love and dedication for training.
I'm incredibly grateful for the friendships I've made here during a time of pandemic-forced isolation and loneliness, in addition to the opportunity to continue exercising physical and mental health under the ever-changing provincial guidelines. I am unfortunately moving back to the mainland and am saddened to be leaving Forge; the expertise of the staff, the friendliness of the members, and the well-organized layout and distribution of equipment will be near impossible to replace. ” - Grace
