Consistency and commitment are what the coaches bring and what they instill in you. You feel welcomed and remembered each time you walk in, no matter where you left off. You will not find faithful fitness anywhere else.This is The Forge.

I joined The Forge a little over 3 months ago now and this place is nothing like I’ve ever experienced. The equipment and facilities are top notch, coaches are extremely knowledgeable and personable and the owners are some of the best people you could ever meet. Best gym around hands down! Iron sharpens iron!

I joined The Forge looking for a gym community after finishing my collegiate athletic career, and I ended up finding so much more than just a place to work out. From day one, I was welcomed by an incredible group of people who share similar goals and are always willing to encourage and push one another to become the best versions of themselves.The coaching staff is second to none. Their experience spans a wide range of specialties, so no matter what your goals are or what questions you have, there's always a coach with the knowledge and expertise to help. They genuinely care about each athlete's progress and take the time to help everyone improve and reach their goals.Unlike other gyms, The Forge has a real team culture. It's not just about getting stronger or fitter but also about becoming better people. The coaches and members are committed to supporting one another by building meaningful relationships and using fitness as a way to positively impact those around them. It's a place where people always celebrate each other's successes and show up for each other. If you're looking for a gym that will support you and make you feel like part of a community then check them out!

I have had nothing but amazing experiences with The Forge. Their start-up process, coaches, programming, and facility are all exceptional. As someone with many years of competitive and recreational weightlifting experience, it has been so refreshing to see a fitness/wellness space and community so devoted to helping people of all types become healthier and stronger. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

I've got nothing but good things to say...especially if you're looking to up your game when it comes to fitness, strength, and community. This is the first time I've been a part of a gym that has coaching like this. The class sizes are quite reasonable, so it very much feels like you've got a trained coach ready to help you at a moment's notice. I've greatly benefited from their expertise in not only strength training, but in my running journey as well. The coaches check-in about my goals and offer encouragement when needed. I feel supported and equipped to keep growing in my fitness journey. Very grateful for this place!

Love this place and these people - they have helped me tremendously in my short time there.

2026-05-15T19:21:44.306Z

The coaches are very helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging! The time schedules for the workouts are great for busy parents trying to stay fit! Love the atmosphere and the workouts are always different and challenge you to want to do your best!

TL;DR - Great friendly atmosphere, incredibly attentive coaching staff, diverse programming, 1-1 sessions available for training and goal setting. InBody Scans to track your progress. Being able to see that the number on the scale isn't going down because I'm losing fat and building muscle is a great motivator.No hyperbole, The Forge has been a legitimate life changer for me. It started a couple years ago when I was interested in joining a CrossFit gym, I had a no sweat intro phone call with Chris. Let him know what my plans were and where I wanted to go fitness wise. I was ready to commit to a free workout, then a life event happened that took my attention away from my fitness goals.Like any good sales person, Chris reached out a couple of times to check in on my goals and most importantly following up after I let him know about my life event. Those check ins became more than a sales motion, it showed that Chris cares about helping people. Fast forward to February 2026 and I got a text message from the gym citing a free work out. On a Sunday. At like 7:30AM. I forced myself to go and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere was great, being thrown into a team workout with members and non-members was great. I signed up immediately.I am a former Crossfit Level 1 Certified Trainer Person, whatever they were calling it at the time but when I went through on ramp I decided to trust the process learn how the gym works and get slowly re introduced to fitness again, put the ego aside and just do the baseline work to join general classes. That learning process was great getting reintroduced to the 9 foundational movements etc, it was just great to be moving again.Included with my membership there is a monthly InBody scan, I cropped the latest results that I have for this review. I've been a member for less than 3 months and I've lost double digit pounds, I've lost fat and gained muscle. I couldn't be happier.One surprising thing, you have a coach that is assigned to you when you join. They are responsible for walking you through your goals. I thought it was a bit corny at first but I chose to embrace it. Having that extra accountability is motivating. Coach Vanessa checks in with me weekly, making sure I'm holding myself to the standard I've set in our goal setting session.One last thought, while they used to be a Crossfit affiliate they have since gone independent, having been a part of that system before, I think it's a great move. I learned that Barbell Snatches aren't part of the rotation but that's what open gym is for, and if you want some custom programming you can always ask. The methodology is largely the same, and if you live in the area and aren't utilizing this fantastic health and fitness resource you are missing out.

From the coaches to the members everyone has been so kind, welcoming, and encouraging while I start this new journey! The starter classes to help you learn the basics are so helpful at building con confidence and understanding, and jumping into a class, even when nervous, I’ve always left feeling more empowered to keep going and glad I started!

I had a short but genuinely great experience at Forge Gym. I was looking for a temporary place to train during my transition, and from day one I felt welcomed and supported.The staff and trainers created an encouraging environment, and I was struck by how friendly and engaging everyone was—not just the coaches, but the members as well. The workouts were challenging yet approachable, and the sense of community made each session enjoyable. It quickly became one of the best gym experiences I’ve had.The instructors were attentive and took the time to correct form, which I really appreciated. I also loved the weekly events outside of regular classes—they added another layer of connection and fun. The CrossFit-style movements were new to me, but I found that each workout still translated well to functional, everyday movement.Overall, an incredible gym with a strong community. I’m looking forward to dropping back in whenever I’m in town.

The Forge really helped me back to healthy life. Love this place. Don’t be scared by pictures. Very safe and couches are so delicate for helping newbee.

Very supportive atmosphere!!

I was skeptical at first, but going into my third month, I am stronger, have more energy and am inspired to see what other accomplishments I’ll achieve in the future. I love and look forward to my time at The Forge and appreciate the efforts Rose, Chris and the trainers put into each member’s health and fitness growth goals.

I was never a “gym person.” I’ve always been an at-home workout girl, and honestly, I was hesitant to join a gym at all. But I am SO glad I did.From day one, this place has felt like exactly what I needed. The group setting pushes me in the best way — the energy, the encouragement, the “we’re all in this together” vibe. The coaches are incredible. They guide you, push you, correct your form, and hold you accountable in a way you just can’t get on your own.If you’ve ever doubted stepping into a gym or worried you wouldn’t belong… trust me, this place changes everything. I truly love it here.

2025-10-09T18:00:23.887Z

I joined the Forge looking for a way to diversify my workout routine and spend more time with a friend who is a member, and I’ve gotten so much more out of my membership! Rose and Chris work hard to create a community where everyone is welcome and encouraged to progress at their own level and pace. As someone who has struggled with confidence in group settings, I have come to love the classes and the staff’s approach to coaching. I’m feeling stronger, healthier, and so much more confident, and Ihighly recommend this gym!

Love this gym! My husband and I are newer to the area and found this Milford gym close to our home. I really like the format of the classes and working out in a group. They motivate me to push myself, and it’s also much more fun working out with others! I was having trouble going to the bigger gyms and working out on my own, so the classes keep me accountable and make it easy because I don’t have to come up with my own workouts. If you don’t like working out in groups, they also have open gym time and the apps give you access to the daily workout.The classes are also good for all skill levels; I’m over 5 months pregnant and the trainers has been great with giving me tips on how to safely do the work outs and go at my own pace. There are always modifications and everyone is very supportive. I see a lot of different ages in the gym too, so it feels really inclusive. I also enjoy the “diapers and dumbbells” classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and getting to meet other gym moms.This gym is focused on proper form, and lifting safely. I think the types of workouts available are helpful for anyone to succeed outside of the gym too! It’s really a space where everyone is working towards similar goals and trying to stay healthy and mobile. I would recommend this gym to anyone! :)

Forge is the BEST gym in milford Michigan. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you won’t find better coaches, classes, or community. I started going to the Forge about 6 months ago. My wife kinda dragged me there and I honestly didn’t think I needed to as I climb trees for a living. Boy was I wrong!!! Not only do I sleep better, I recover better, my in tree performance has skyrocketed
