Fantastic experience: A True Fitness Family at Forge Valley Fitness Since joining Forge Valley Fitness in May 2023, I've embarked on a transformative journey that's reshaped not just my physique but my entire outlook on fitness and community. With Terrance, Bonnie, and their passionate team at the helm, this gym is more than a fitness center—it's a family that grows stronger together. My transition to a more sedentary job role brought me to Forge Valley Fitness with a clear goal—get in shape for my upcoming wedding. The support and personalized coaching I've received have propelled me to a level of fitness I once thought was reserved for my younger years. This journey has been about rediscovering my potential, and I'm eager to see where it leads. The detailed attention from the coaching staff, especially during the regular check-ins, has been a cornerstone of my progress. These discussions extend beyond workouts, covering nutrition, stress management, and overall well-being, showcasing the gym's holistic approach to health. The community spirit at Forge Valley Fitness is its heartbeat. Every member's achievement is celebrated, creating a positive and motivating environment that's truly special. This collective support has been vital in pushing me beyond my perceived limits. The gym's commitment to broader engagement, including participation in global events, has been inspiring. The encouragement I received to compete in the 2024 CrossFit Open—completing workouts 24.1, 24.2, and 24.3—epitomizes the supportive atmosphere that Forge Valley Fitness cultivates. Without the unwavering support from both coaches and members, I would have never imagined competing, let alone completing these challenges. The gym's facilities are impeccably maintained, with well-organized and clean equipment. The generosity and willingness of members to share resources underscore the collaborative spirit that makes every workout efficient and enjoyable. Forge Valley Fitness has redefined my understanding of what a gym can be. It's a place of personal growth, community, and unwavering support. The connections I've made here go beyond the workouts, embedding a sense of belonging and achievement in all of us. Joining Forge Valley Fitness was a pivotal decision in my life, one that's led to incredible physical and personal growth. It's a place where limits are tested, boundaries are expanded, and every achievement is a shared victory. I look forward to continuing this journey with the incredible people who make Forge Valley Fitness what it is—a true fitness family.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Forge Valley Fitness for the last 2.5 months and I am so happy with the coaching, personal attention and overall facility. I came with a shoulder injury and Emily and Trishauna greet me at the beginning of each workout with an enthusiastic hello (even though it’s 5:45AM) and we talk about how I would be modifying each workout. As I slowly met the other coaches, I was so impressed by their knowledge and friendliness. I sincerely feel welcomed in the gym. If you are looking for a CrossFit-type gym, I 100% recommend Forge Fitness. The price is great, the gym is super clean, and class time options and sizes are reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Forge Valley Fitness has been a transformative experience for me. As someone who had never stepped foot into a gym before, I was initially hesitant. However, upon discovering FVF and its unique approach of one-on-one sessions and group classes led by a coach, I was immediately drawn in. What sets FVF apart is its engaging structure of sessions. Unlike traditional gyms, here, each session is carefully curated to keep participants motivated and challenged. The variety in workouts ensures that I never get bored, and I always leave feeling accomplished. One of the standout features is its welcoming community atmosphere. Forge Valley Fitness isn't just a gym; it's a community where people come together to support each other in their fitness journeys. Thanks to FVF and the guidance of Coach Trishauna, I know that my experience here will have a lasting impact on my life forever.

Fantastic experience: A welcoming and friendly place that encourages you to do your best. Coaches are knowledgeable and, if necessary, able to adapt movements to the individual. I enjoy every work-out, whether it's because of the people, the work out itself, or a combination of both!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for about a year. Great value for what is included in a membership. Experienced coaches make sure you keep progressing and improving. The programming is excellent and there is tons of equipment, all of which is in great shape.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Forge Valley Fitness since November and I’m glad I chose this place. The Facility is very clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: I have personally had an amazing time at forge Valley, the coaching and community of this gym is amazing.

Fantastic experience: As a total noob with regards to strength and fitness training (apart from running), my Fundamentals course at FVF was excellent. Coach T was patient with me, and insistent on correct form and movement, which is what I wanted for my first venture into such training. I am looking forward to regular training in the classes as I begin my regular membership.

Fantastic experience: If you want to gym that has trainers that are dialled in with form, this is the one.

Fantastic experience: I joined FVF when I first moved to the Okanagan about 3.5 yrs ago. This gym not only gave me a great place to do my workouts, but more importantly it gave me a sense of community in a new home. Can't say enough about the coaches and the members! Great gym!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Forge Valley Fitness for 3 yrs now. It has changed my daily life in every way!!!

Fantastic experience: Forge Valley Fitness Review I’ve been going to Forge Valley for 4 years now and I still appreciate it. Garth does a great job of building a sense of community, and a welcoming atmosphere. There is a really great group of people training, and working out there I thought I was in decent shape when I joined. It was a bit of a shock to realize how much I had to learn, relearn and how far I had to go. You definitely don’t get this training on your own. The coaches pay close attention and are always providing helpful feedback. You really learn how to do things right. My personal coach, Terrence, has been fantastic. He has coached me through a few injuries from activities outside the gym such as a car accident. He’s really helped me gain back a lot of the fitness you lose as you get older. I travel a lot for work and it made me wonder if the membership would be worth it. When I’m on the road, I’ll text picture of my hotel gym and Terrence will text me workouts. Take about going above and beyond. This really adds value to my gym membership, and really helps me stay on track with my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve joined Forge Valley. I can only say good things. Not only have they built an amazing community they get results. This is so much more then just a gym. Coaches will work with you to meet any fitness and health goals you have. This is truly a full service fitness centre.

Fantastic experience: I’ve dropped in a few times over the years when I’m in town and I am always welcomed. Great coaches, friendly members, and challenging and fun programming.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym great trainers!

Fantastic experience: One of the best ways to work out in a super friendly inviting atmosphere. I tried and failed a few different typical gyms over the years due to having no accountability if I didn't go. If I don't show up for a few days Terrance will text me and ask how I'm doing. They've developed a very strong sense of community where everyone feels welcome and everyone encourages each other.

Fantastic experience: I joined cross-fit and was very impressed with the atmosphere and people attending this gym. Coach T was amazing, and the one on one on-ramp with her and Garth at the beginning was very informative. They really gave me the tools to get everything out of the program. Completely worth it, I could not believe the results I found in just a couple weeks. Strength, endurance and over all health. Conan

Fantastic experience: I have recently join the CrossFit North Okanagan family.I have worked out at other CrossFit gyms and can honestly say this is one of the largest and best run gyms I have had the pleasure of working out in. The coaches are very knowledgable and I love that they push me to do my best, but not so much that I injure myself in the process. I am fortunate to belong to such a great community!

Fantastic experience: It's been quite a few years since I worked out in a gym so I was pretty intimidated when I first looked at Crossfit gyms in Vernon. These guys did a great job explaining how it all worked and what I could expect from joining. I've been attending for about a year now and know I picked the right gym.

Fantastic experience: This place is all about people motivating people. In the years I have tried going to gyms and fitness clubs, I have never been as motivated and worked as hard in one hour as I have here. It took a few months to get past the point where it hurt and everything was sore a lot, I am now enjoying and looking forward to classes. Suitable for anyone of any fitness level or age. Feels like it's added years to my life. Or life to my years. Whatever.

Fantastic experience: I am a CFNO member but work out at many other Crossfit gyms in Canada and the US through extensive business travel. CFNO has the best facility, equipment and coaching that I have seen anywhere. Always happy to return.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit North Okanagan. Open Mon-Friday 6am-10am & 4:30pm-7:30pm Saturday 10am-12pm. Great Coaches!
