Elite coaching and an awesome, friendly environment. I've recommended Forge to several friends without hesitation and will do it again.
Great team of coaches who are extremely knowledgeable. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and a great bunch of people to train with.
Superb hands on coaching so it's safe and right for YOU!
Incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and adapted classes for everyone.
I recently joined Forge Valley and am so very happy I did! Its a very welcoming atmosphere, the coaches are all so knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging and I love how many class times there are!! I definitely recommend.
Excellent trainers and the group classes are really fun!
As a busy mum with 2 kids under 4, I can't speak highly enough of Forge and the coaches there. We successfully went through my second pregnancy together enabling me to stay active right up to a week before birth. They carefully curate your workout and ensure you're moving in the best way possible for your abilities. Wonderful people. Wonderful community. 10/10 will keep going đź’Ş
Great facility and trainers!

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. Less
I started coaching at Forge in 2015 and moved from a new city. The community back then was as welcoming as it is now. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching hundreds of individuals through this facility and look forward to many more.
I have been a member of Forge Valley Fitness for a great number of years. The entire team has guided me along my physical and mental health (because one of the valuable things I have learned in the Community they foster, physical and mental health go hand-in-hand) journey!

Awesome gym. Has a positive vibe. Welcoming to new members, does not matter where you are on the fitness scale. Coaches are helpful and knowledgeable. Will work with you to achieve whatever your fitness goals are. The overall program design, building skills/strength is done thoughtfully. Working to build a fit community.
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.

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. Thanks Forge team for being a huge part of my recovery. Looking forward to many more years here. Less
What I wanted: A gym that would offer me great results, accountability to my goals, and a community. What I got: Forge Valley Fitness Listen, there are a million places to choose from if all you’re looking for is a place to get your sweat on. What Forge Valley offers is a team of supportive, knowledgeable coaches and a community of workout buddies that cheer you on, whatever your results are.

The workouts and the community at FVF are great and I’ve really been enjoying my time at this gym. The classes are both fun and challenging. I like that the classes allow for building key skills and movements over time, but also that there is a lot of variety so there is always a new and interesting twist to the workouts. I really appreciate that the coaches demonstrate how to properly do the exercises every class, which has been helpful with exercises that are new to me but also has served as an important reminder for how to safely do the exercises that I already knew. The coaches are very knowledgeable and I have been so impressed with how they work in really thoughtful ways to ensure that everyone’s skill levels and personal circumstances are accounted for when doing the exercises. I feel very supported at this gym by my coach Trishauna, by all the other coaches, and the other members are also great and cheer each other on! Less
Joining forge valley fitness has been a great choice for my health and fitness. The amount of focus on mobility has helped relieve many existing aches and pains and has made everyday activities much easier on the body. Thank you coaches!
I started in the teens program and now Terrence does sport specific programming for me. 11/10 people 11/10 environment!

I’ve been at forge for a year now and the hour that I spend there is my favourite part of the day! The coaches are so supportive and the environment and energy is always amazing! I leave there feeling strong, confident and happy! Highly recommend going to talk to any of the coaches and set up a consultation to find out what they are all about!! 💪
Forge Valley Fitness has been the most inspirational fitness centre I have ever been a part of! The environment is so WELCOMING and the coaches (and members) are SO SUPPORTIVE and ENCOURAGING! The workouts are FUN, EFFICIENT, and EFFECTIVE! Thank you FVF Team for your passion and knowledge towards health, strength and wellness!

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. Less
I love the enthusism energy and fun that Forge Valley Fitness brings to my 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.

The knowledgable coaching staff are awesome, got me up to speed so I could participate in the classes after completing the fundamentals program. The members welcomed me with open arms. It is a supportive, safe, and health conscious community that embraces everyone regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. Highly recommend for both the inexperienced and experienced.
I've been in the Forge program for roughly a month and it's one of the best gyms in Vernon. Coaches are very knowledgeable, classes are well organized, and members are super friendly. Highly recommend this place.
Friendly group of trainers and clients. Excellent instruction in how to perform the exercises safely. There is a diverse group of ages and fitness levels here, and assistance from the trainers so each person can adapt the workout to their abilities and needs.
So far its been great - I really enjoy having the coaching sessions - its super helpful for those of us who need extra coaching on form and process. Staff are super warm and friendly and workouts are great!
Get a bit of everything at this gym. If you want to be pushed there’s coaches at this place that will do that for you! If you’re not ready for that coaches will guide you to spot to be there. They also know how to do that with giving your space by really understanding your goals and abilities! Great groups to train with morning all the way to the evening! Could not recommend this place enough!
Lovely, clean gym and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. It's a great place to workout
I have personally had an amazing time at forge Valley, the coaching and community of this gym is amazing.
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.
If you want to gym that has trainers that are dialled in with form, this is the one.
Best place to workout. If you ever feel or felt out of place in a fitness centre then you have been going to the wrong place. Forge Valley Fitness has such a community vibe and it doesn’t matter what your fitness level is. Everyone cheers each other on and celebrates when you complete workouts. So much fun!!! All the coaches are amazing!!!
I’ve been going to Forge for 4.5 years. It’s a warm, welcoming place where you can laugh and get in a great work-out at the same time!
Forge is like being part of a large family! Accountability, support, encouragement, being challenged, cheering and a whole lot of fun and laughter is what one can expect with each and every workout.

I have been going to Forge Valley Fitness for just over a year. I love going to the gym where you can show up, and be led through group fitness classes, and leave feeling accomplished. The coaches are kind and knowledgeable, and can always provide modifications for injury or mobility concerns. I have made gains and built confidence by attending the gym, and feel better because of it!
A great gym with great coaches. They make sure that you know what you are doing before being able to go to class. Great atmosphere and fun people to work out with. Highly recommend for any level of skill.
I love this place. They truly care about you and your progress as an individual. They help with all aspects of your fitness including diet, mobility, cardio and strength. During COVID-19 I tried to exercise by myself in my basement and now that I'm back at Forge Valley the difference is striking. Worth every penny, the programing has long term goals. I highly recommend.
Fantastic gym with TOP-NOTCH trainers dedicated to helping you become your best!!
Best decision I made was walking into Forge Valley Fitness. My coach for life took the time to understand the dynamics of my sport and the best way to strengthen my weaknesses. The classes added the strength training I was missing and cardio that I thrive. I was so nervous before I walked through that door, now I wish I had done it sooner.
A community health and wellness centre with all the equipment and services you need to feel awesome. Coaches who give you that one-on-one experience and they will tailor a program to suit your needs.
Forge Valley Fitness is an amazing place to connect with professional coaches that take the time to understand your goals and help you achieve them. My health and fitness have improved considerably with the high quality programming, support and amazing atmosphere that keeps you inspired and on on track !!.
I am so grateful to have found Forge Valley Fitness. It is by far the best gym I have ever joined. In just over one year, I have built strength & confidence I didn’t even imagine was possible. The coaches are all amazing, they really take the time to get to know you and can tailor every single class to your individual ability. I feel so well taken care of here. Highly recommend FVF to anyone!
Safe and inclusive way to learn how to move well and get your fitness on what ever your skill or fitness level.
The best place to work out if you’re looking for excellent coaching, a positive atmosphere and great people. Highly recommend.
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!
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!!
I’ve been a member of Forge Valley Fitness for 3 yrs now. It has changed my daily life in every way!!! The encouragement from all the coaches and the actual workouts that are organized and scheduled well in advance help plan my life and make it possible to do my daily tasks easier. Life changing fitness!!!!
Awesome coaches and facilty. They help out with all your health concerns and goals while keeping you motivated to push on. Recommended for all ages.

Excellent. Can't say enough how thankful I am and how much the team has change my life. My favorite is the group aspect. When I only felt like giving it a 50% effort on any a workout, you feel apart of something bigger and find yourself at new levels of strength, mobility and agility. Thanks guys, Keep up the great work.

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. Less
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.

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.
Great gym, great coaches, and interesting, challenging, and fun workouts. Always welcomed to drop in when I’m in town.
Great crew. Very fussy about form. Very good value.
Awesome gym great trainers!
What a gym! Great Group of people that have created there own little community. Coaches really care about the progress you are making.
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.
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.

Every time I walk in the front door I am inspired to do my best at whatever is on the menu for the day. Thank you to all the coaches who are experts in technique, appropriate modifications and encouragement. You are great!
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!
I wouldn't have made it to my FGB test today if it weren't for Trishauna believing that I could. Thanks Trishauna. Not saying that "I love it", but I have definitely seen a difference in my strength and flexibility.
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.
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.

Sometimes it's a struggle for me to drag myself there but it's worth it in the end
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.
I heart burpees!!!!
CrossFit North Okanagan is the best fitness experience that I have ever been a part of. I have been to different gyms and tried various programs and have never had the results as I have with CFNO. Garth & Erica fantastic trainers. Thanks guys!
CrossFit North Okanagan. Open Mon-Friday 6am-10am & 4:30pm-7:30pm Saturday 10am-12pm. Great Coaches!
