“I first joined forge in 2020 and started powerlifting as a pandemic hobby. I trained with Matt Rud, and soon convinced my brother Ethan to join and train with me. Coming to Forge and training together was a way we could see each other 4 times a week when we otherwise were restricted from seeing each other. Since then, my community at Forge has grown and I have connected with so many amazing people here. I regularly come to the gym now with my sister in law, Zoe. Prior to joining Forge, I never went to the gym or lifted weights. I have grown to love it so much (especially arm day!) and it has become such an integral part of my life. I have learned so much about myself, and what I'm capable of. Shout out to everyone who comes to this gym and helps form such an amazing community! <3 Happy lifting everyone!”
