Forward Thinking Fitness

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Forward Thinking Fitness in Trexlertown for about 4 months and have already lost almost 40 lbs! I’ve made small tweaks to my diet and routine, but I’m not killing myself to do it — classes are just 25–40 minutes, and they rotate focus each week. It’s a small time commitment with big results, and my energy has never been higher. I was hesitant about joining group classes at first, but everyone here is on their own path with zero judgment. Whether you like to keep to yourself or chat a bit, the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. Evan and his team are incredible. Sam (the dietitian) keeps me on track with realistic goals, and new trainers like Elise bring awesome energy. The app is easy to use, scheduling is flexible, and Evan truly works with you when life happens. Can’t recommend FTF enough — amazing results, great people, and a community that truly cares.

Fantastic experience: When I first came to Forward Thinking Fitness, I was in rough shape and constantly in pain. Since starting with them in April 2025, the progress has been amazing. I’ve gone down a full size — from XXL/16–18 to XL/14 — and I’m noticeably firmer with real shape showing through. Best of all, I’m no longer living with daily pain. The energy here is always positive, the environment is welcoming, and the results truly speak for themselves. EVAN and his team are truly amazing! If you’re looking for more than just a place to exercise — if you want guidance, accountability, and a supportive team in your corner — Forward Thinking Fitness is the place. I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed! P.S. The facility is really cool as well!

Fantastic experience: I cant recommend Evan and Forward Thinking Fitness enough! From day one, Evan has been wonderful to work with, he is extremely motivating, knowledgeable and cares deeply about his clients and their success. Every session is challenging yet enjoyable and Evans expertise in fitness has completely transformed how I approach my health and everyday lifestyle. Ive seen amazing results both physically and mentall in a short period of time, and look forward to working out every day! If you’re looking for a personal trainer who genuinely cares about your success and knows how to deliver results, Forward Thinking Fitness is the best choice you can make!

Fantastic experience: FTF has the team and community that will help you reach your goal! The team will definitely assist with proper guidance in order for you to strive and reach the goal you are looking to achieve! FTF is not just a gym, it’s more of a community!

Fantastic experience: Ftf is great! Coaches were wonderful and caring. They even sent me flowers when I had a death in my family. Evan is super sweet. I'm hoping one day I can get the chance to go back! Every time I try something happens . But this place is great!

Fantastic experience: Great and effective work routines. So far 25lbs down

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness isn’t just a gym—it’s THE place that completely changed how I feel about working out. I truly can’t imagine being anywhere else. From the moment I met Evan (the owner and one of the trainers), I could tell this place was different. I had toured other gyms and felt like just another number. But Evan actually sat down with me, asked about my goals, listened, and made me feel like he genuinely cared about helping me succeed. That alone sold me. And since then, it’s only gotten better. The community here is amazing—it’s like a big gym family. Everyone supports each other, pushes each other, and celebrates each other’s wins. It’s the kind of environment that makes you actually want to show up. Evan is constantly checking in to make sure you're feeling good, staying motivated, and making progress. If you ever feel stuck or hit a plateau, he’s right there with ideas, encouragement, and solutions. I also love the regular checkpoints where we track progress—you get to see the results of your hard work, which keeps you fired up. And let’s talk about the vibes. The lighting, the clean modern design, the awesome music—it all comes together to give the place such a fun, high-energy feel. Even on days when I’m not feeling 100%, I walk in and instantly feel ready to crush it. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll be seen, supported, and actually look forward to showing up—Forward Thinking Fitness is the one.

Fantastic experience: Osteopenia, osteoarthritis, and menopausal weight gain. What? I’d been diagnosed and dismissed by the local medical community as “an elderly and petite woman who should expect these maladies of normal aging” and was told I just have to live with it. Not this gal. I found a Zumba class and attempted a haphazard, self-directed exercise routine shortly after. Not seeing results, I started looking for real professional help and stumbled upon Forward Thinking Fitness. I just knew I needed a personalized training routine with supervision. FTF really fit the bill! Evan and his incredible staff are true professionals who treat each client individually with respect. Their approach to health and fitness is a holistic experience for each unique person. Not only is their personal training the main draw, they also include nutrition therapy and even offer yoga classes next door at BeWell with my custom plan! It’s all part of the package. I really enjoy coming to the Semi Privates where I feel like I’m getting one-on-one attention while feeling like I’m part of a courteous community. I couldn’t be more happy with my progress as I’ve already lost 6 lbs. of fat and gained 2 lbs. of muscle in two months!

Fantastic experience: Forward thinking fitness has great trainers who actually dedicate time and focus on your workouts and how you do them to make sure you get the proper workout for your day. They are very kind and straightforward. They help as much as they can when needed and even check up on you outside of the gym life to make sure you’re doing ok. I totally recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness is a great gym with clean, well-maintained facilities and high-quality equipment. It’s clear they put a lot of effort into keeping everything in top shape, which really makes a difference. The staff is friendly and the overall vibe is motivating and welcoming. I recommend FTF to anyone looking for a clean, reliable gym with a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Found FTF when I moved into the area over a year ago. I liked that they're similar to what I was already doing. They also offered the same things plus a little more than my home fitness studio. Staff is friendly & positive.

Fantastic experience: “This gym is a game-changer for anyone with a busy schedule. The semi-personal training offers the perfect structure for beginners like me who had no idea where to start with strength training. The workouts stay fresh and engaging, and they also offer a personalized nutrition program. They truly take a holistic approach to fitness goals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comprehensive support. Thank you, Jamie and Evan!”

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 16 weeks now, and I am very happy with the experience. The environment is positive and motivating, with a team of knowledgeable trainers and a great nutritionist who really look at the whole picture when it comes to your health and fitness. The classes are fun, fast-paced, and always different, which keeps things challenging. I’ve already seen great results and enjoy coming in each time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great workout and coach. Works with you to meet your goals. Evan is a great motivator!

Fantastic experience: I've always known how important strength training is, but really dislike big box gyms, am not disciplined enough for training at home (plus equipment is limited) and more than anything, do not have the expertise or time to develop a proper workout plan. So finding Forward Thinking Fitness (a/k/a FTF) has been a game changer. This is a small business in the community with coaches and trainers who truly care about your progress and success, offering a holistic approach to fitness and health. The full body strength and conditioning workouts (offered in semi-private and small group setting) are personalized to your fitness level with a big focus on proper form, which we all know is super important. FTF also has a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on staff if you want help with a personalized nutrition plan, education or just simply keep you accountable. FTF membership also includes yoga sessions that are offered several times a week and bi-monthly body composition measurements and mobility testing to track progress. FTF is an inviting, non-intimidating atmosphere with dim lighting, great music, awesome coaches/trainers, extensive array of equipment, and just all-around awesome people. For the first time, I have found a place to help support my ongoing fitness journey for the long-term! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful atmosphere with an immaculate facility and real professionals! I’ve been here for several months and it has changed my life. I’m so thankful for finding this place as I’m down almost 100 lbs. and their team has been there with me every step of the way. If you are looking to become better, feel your best and be healthy, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend FTF for their functional fitness approach. The variety of workouts keeps things fresh while effectively working different muscle groups in different ways helping me to want to stick with it week over week. I'm noticeably building strength, stability, and stamina thanks to the approach and the wonderfully supportive team who provides valuable sources of corrective feedback when needed, and I find myself consistently looking forward to my next workout.

Fantastic experience: Before joining FTF, I struggled with consistency and was constantly starting over. That completely changed once I started here. The staff are incredibly supportive and encouraging, making it easy to stay motivated and accounts. Everyone lifts each other up, making workouts something to look forward to. The atmosphere create the perfect environment to push yourself. For the first time, I feel like I’ve found a place where I can truly stay committed to my fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at FTF for about 4 months now and I have to say that I've been enjoying the time I have been spending with Evan and Jaime. They provide a warm and welcoming environment for everyone, and their encouragement is greatly appreciated. As for my experience, I have always struggled with keeping up with my fitness. I've struggled with my form and posture for a long time. But thanks to the guidance I have received here at FTF I am seeing an amazing change in my body, I'm able to move in ways I couldn't before and even if it's not 100% it's still a great improvement from when I first started. I recommend FTF for anyone who is looking to improve at any level, I would not be where I am today without the kind words and motivation from the team here at FTF.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about Forward Thinking Fitness! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an amazing team that truly makes you feel at home. They go above and beyond to ensure you have the support you need, and it genuinely feels like a small community when you join. The atmosphere and ambience of the gym are incredible—everything is designed to get you in the zone and ready to give it 110%! Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, you'll find motivation and encouragement every step of the way. If you're looking for a gym that combines top-notch facilities, an inspiring environment, and a welcoming community, Forward Thinking Fitness is the place to be! Highly recommend! ✨

Fantastic experience: I had given up hope on losing weight. I joined FTF in Aug '24 and thank god I did! I lost 8 lbs. and gained a lb. of muscle in 2 weeks through FTF's workouts. The workouts were fun and challenging and the best part was doing them alongside my FTF friends. I highly recommend FTF!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic facilities. One of the best in the valley. Evan is an absolute gentleman. Highly recommend them for group or individual training.

Fantastic experience: FTF has been a great workout for me! The trainers are great and have kept me very motivated to workout as much as I can, without pressure! I am feeling so much stronger and confident in my workouts!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Forward Thinking Fitness since last April. The reason that is so significant is because it is by far the longest stretch of time I have EVER committed to working out. The longest stretch of time prior was probably a month (to give you perspective). Evan and Jamie have taught me so much and more importantly have helped me overcome my fear of working out. In addition to those things I have also seen big results in my time there. As somehow who works from home I was not very active and my muscle mass was well below average. I am now very close to where I should be, and that is apparent in the significant decrease in joint pain that I was feeling when I first started. Whether you are like me last April and don’t know where to even start with your fitness journey…or you’re someone who’s already well on their way, I 10/10 recommend checking out Forward Thinking Fitness.

Fantastic experience: One day I had the urge to join a gym after reaching a standstill in my weight loss journey, but the thought of joining a public gym was terrifying. I decided that personal training would be best for me, so I went straight to Google. When I found FTF I was excited that I'd possibly found a gym that I would feel comfortable in, but I was also scared to take that first step. I didn't think I'd push myself to make the phone call but somehow I did and I have no regrets. Evan and his team are amazing. They give endless support and are always ready to help me push myself to the next level. They are so accommodating to my needs and the intensity of the workouts are tailored to my level so that I can exercise in a safe way. I work with their dietician, Paige once a week and she has helped me create healthy eating habits and she consistently shows interest in my overall well-being. If someone would have told me a year ago that I'd be going to the gym and enjoying it, I'd think they were lying. For that, I'm so grateful to have found Forward Thinking Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of FTF and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made! The facilities are top-notch, always clean and well-maintained. The equipment is state-of-the-art and diverse, catering to all fitness levels. The trainers and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help especially Jamie Elliot. They offer a variety of group classes, personal training sessions, and workshops to keep your workout routine exciting and fun.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy and glad that I found Evan and his team at FTF. I am a mom of a 6 year old and 3 year old trying to get back into my fitness journey for few years now. Something or the other always came in the way. I found FTF this april after I recently moved into this area. From my first initial call to Evan to find out about the programs the gym offer I could see his passion , dedication and attention to detail towards the client and their needs. Jamie is amazing with her personal training sessions . She is with you every point of the way pushing you , cheering you . The workouts are the best mix I always look forward to whats in the store for next day. Somedays are harder but all I need to do is push myself in the door and Jamie / Evan does all the magic . I always look forward to going to FTF and it has become my happy place ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: I’m currently training to qualify for the Boston Marathon, and Fitness Thinking Forward Fitness Center has been an incredible part of my journey. The team is knowledgeable and supportive, offering not just top-notch workouts but personalized nutrition guidance tailored to my goals. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my endurance and strength, and the atmosphere is always encouraging and motivating. If you're serious about your fitness goals, whether it’s running a marathon or getting in the best shape of your life, I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying that I’m not one for writing reviews or making a big deal of things… but I have to give credit where credit is due. When I made the decision to get healthy, I did a good deal of research on where I wanted to work out. I chose FTF after meeting with Evan because he showed a genuine interest in helping people achieve their goals. He could probably tell that I was reluctant to even get started and he reassured me that they would be with me at every step of the process. And, he was right. The trainers work closely with each client to ensure safe movement and they are there to answer any questions you have… and I have a lot. Workout times are convenient and can be varied for your pace. They’re not there to make sure you finish every exercise perfectly, they’re there to encourage you to see your potential. FTF also offers nutritional counseling and meal planning assistance for those of us who need it. As well as someone to talk to weekly if you’re like me and need accountability. Workouts are tailored for each client to ensure you’re progressing at your own pace and results and results are celebrated by everyone at the gym. FTF has created a culture of supportive and encouraging gym-goers that I truly feel comfortable working out with. Plus, the music at that gym is better than most clubs. I have been using Forward Thinking Fitness for 6 months and have lost 35lbs of fat and gained 5lbs of muscle. I’m really glad I chose to work with Evan and Forward Thinking Fitness and you will too!

Fantastic experience: Evan and his crew (shoutout to Jamie & Ryan) have been a blessing to my overall health & wellness. The gym was always a place I was scared of due to a shoulder injury and functional limitations. Re-injury and judgement had always held me back from pursuing my highest level of wellness, but the coaches make me feel safe and comfortable to push myself. I now look forward to working out, and I have had significant improvement in my confidence, mobility, and strength in my time here.

Fantastic experience: Customer service was immaculate!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to improve your strength and fitness level as well as tone up and gain muscle mass forward Thinking Fitness is where to go. I was looking for help to Jumpstart my fitness journey and jeep me on the right track with my nutrition as well. Evan and his team are teaching me so much and very encouraging to keep me on par. I am so glad I found this small business that cares about their clientele and their well being.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined FTF earlier this year. Evan conducted a detailed analysis of our body composition and lifestyle and suggested a 12-week program of the group fitness classes with a check-in half-way through. These classes are offered four days in a week, three times a day so it was possible to find a time that worked for us. The exercises were well designed and based on the level each one was in. The exercises were different every time - sometimes individual and self paced and other times they were timed and with a partner. The heart monitor they provided us gave a clear break up of our intensity levels through the session and was helpful in knowing if we were pushing ourselves. Evan and other trainers were there to monitor us, correct our postures, find alternatives, and answer questions. Strongly recommend working out 4 times a week and modifying the diet for optimal results. Evan provided a few consulting sessions for my husband with the new nutritionist who provided us with great and easy recipes for a protein rich vegetarian diet! Remember to sign in before each class to avoid any charges :)

Fantastic experience: My experience at Forward Thinking Fitness has been extremely positive. I have been attending sessions there for the last 4 months. Between the typical stresses of adult life and an extended illness and loss of my father, I had neglected my health for years. I realized that I needed a program with guidance, support, and accountability to achieve the results that I wanted. Forward Thinking Fitness has been the perfect gym for that! Both the staff and the clients have been extremely supportive, creating a welcoming environment. Having minimal formal gym experience in my past, I had been intimidated by the idea of starting. However, the trainers, Evan, Ryan, and Jamie are excellent. They have empowered me to achieve and grow through both guidance during the sessions and answering my million questions when I am working to master a new exercise. I enjoy the range of exercises as well as the opportunity to attend yoga classes. This variety ensures that my fitness journey remains challenging and never boring. I have already seen significant results and I am confident that they will continue. I would highly recommend Forward Thinking Fitness to anyone who is ready to get serious about their health and overall well being.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I discovered Evan and his team when I decided I was ready to commit to a gym. Forward thinking fitness is so much more than a gym! I grew up as an athlete so I was no stranger to cardio, however, strength training was something completely different and I had no idea where to start. I knew that I needed it but didn’t know what workouts to do or how to do a lot of it correctly. I went in for my initial meeting with Evan and he listened to my concerns and goals and he helped map out an obtainable plan to reach them. I joined and decided I was going to do this for me! As a mom of 3 small children and owner of another local small business with an incredibly busy schedule I knew 3 things: I NEEDED to do something for me, I wanted to be held accountable and I wanted to support the local community. Forward Thinking Fitness has helped me do all of these and I have never felt so comfortable in the gym. It’s been 8 weeks and I successfully met my first set of goals and more! I have more energy for my family and business over these past 8 weeks and look forward to my sessions each week.

Fantastic experience: I am beyond grateful that a colleague of mine introduced me to Forward Thinking Fitness. This unique, convenient, results driven workout fits perfectly into my busy schedule. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable and I feel and look stronger thanks to the variety FTF offers. From functional strength training to yoga to massage, this place has it all. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend! Proud to be a part of the fitness community/family at Forward Thinking Fitness.

Fantastic experience: This place is more then a gym. I have stopped and started a few times and this is the only program that works for me. Class sizes are reasonable and the staff is super helpful and attentive. They offer dietary help and most recently added yoga. I would recommend this gym if you are ready to get serious with your health goals.

Fantastic experience: I began small group training at Forward Thinking Fitness four months ago and it's been a very positive experience. The difference is at FTF there's no guesswork. Initially you'll be evaluated and then reevaluated after eight weeks with measurable printed out results. You just need to show up and you're led through your workout. I've personally seen not just physical progress but an increase in energy and improved mood. Everyone is self conscious beginning anything new. Every person there was new at one time so you won't see judgement, just support and encouragement. You're not too old, too out of shape, or whatever you're telling yourself. Do something for yourself, there's no downside to getting fit and improving your health.

Fantastic experience: After three years of minimal physical activity I decided to invest in my health and wellness. So, in November 2023 I joined Forward Thinking Fitness. This was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself in a long time. I am stronger, have much more mobility, and wake up every morning with less stiffness. If you want to get back on track with your health I highly recommend FTF. I can’t thank Evan and Jamie enough for their teaching, support, and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: I joined FTF a little over a month ago and absolutely love it. The staff is knowledgeable and truly cares about your goals and helping you meet them. In just a month I feel I already have better lifting technique and I'm getting stronger. The ability to work out in a small group or on your own provides flexibility with accountability!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing and has the most wonderful team to help guide you through your fitness journey. They offer so many different tools to make sure you are getting everything you can out of your experience (personal trainers, nutritionists, yoga, massage therapy etc.) Joining Forward Thinking Fitness has helped tremendously with my motivation and consistency. I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone.

Fantastic experience: They are pretty good at what they do, but it’s not worth the price. 120 bucks per week is a lot of money, thats almost 500 bucks a month

Fantastic experience: If you want to workout where all people are welcomed and be surrounded by knowledge and team work then you should check out Forward Thinking Fitness. I was first hooked by the helpful form information and interesting tips on their Instagram page. Then I immediately loved the dark atmosphere with skewed mirrors not to mention a happy pup that roams around and takes part in your workouts! I decided to attend an open house where I was welcomed into a small group workout with people of all ages and abilities and loved it! Soon after I found myself joining. Now I attend the Small Group sessions which are functional fitness at its best. Evan is, hands down, the most positive person I know and his knack for caring about others is the secret sauce of this establishment. At the beginning (or end) of my day I want a workout where there is no judgement, no crowds and not alot of thinking...at FTF they craft the workouts for you and each day is something different. I love working against only myself and not competing with others. You'll find me bopping along with the music and getting a good sweat in. You leave stronger, more refreshed and you can bet I am carrying ALL the bags of groceries in one trip up 3 flights of stairs everytime ;) If you're curious like I was...stop over and just take a step inside. You'll see what I mean. Thank you FTF!

Fantastic experience: I began working out at Forward Thinking Fitness in October 2023 after decades of inactivity. Evan and his team are always upbeat and care about my progress. The FTF app allows me to schedule when I want to workout. The workouts are varied, and the night before a scheduled session the specific exercises for the upcoming session are posted to the FTF app with videos of each exercise. Most importantly the program gets results. I have gained strength, lost weight and feel healthier. I highly recommend Forward Thinking Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness (FTF) was reccomended to me by a friend when I was lamenting about struggling with consistency and stalled progress in my fitness goals. Prior to joining, I ran three times a week and lifted inconsistently. I booked a kickstart trial in September and haven't looked back. My goals in joining FTF were to be more consistent with lifting, improve my physique, and increase my running speed. I've been coming to FTF for around five months and I usually book two of the semi-private and two of the small group classes each week, as well as the occasional yoga class. The workout spaces are spacious, clean, and well maintained, with a darker atmosphere and spots of colorful lighting. The classes are engaging and genuinely fun regardless of which class size you take. Evan and his team are always switching up your workouts and pushing you to reach your potential, while being understanding and supportive of different client needs and ability levels. They are also excellent at providing modifications as needed. Evan and the other trainers have cultivated a friendly, supportive, and positive environment. I have never once felt uncomfortable or unwelcome. If you are looking for a somewhere that will work with you on your goals and support you to reach those goals, this is the place. In just a few months, I have made such significant progress on my goals. I cut nearly a minute off of my average running pace after being stalled for nearly six months and I have so much more confidence and strength. I am so appreciative of the team at FTF, thank you guys for all the support. And I can't forget to mention Link! The best part of coming here is when Link greets you at the door or joins your workout!

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness (FTF) has completely transformed my fitness journey! Starting as a total newbie, I now feel more energized, stronger, and healthier after three months of dedicated workouts. The classes at FTF are diverse, ranging from high-intensity interval training to soothing yoga sessions, keeping me fueled with excitement every visit. With supportive and knowledgeable trainers like Evan and Ryan, along with a warm and welcoming gym community, FTF offers a personalized and judgment-free fitness experience. If you're looking for a personalized and non-judgmental fitness experience, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Forward Thinking Fitness for about six months now, and I must say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made regarding my health. I went from being completely inactive to working out 4-5 times a week, with some yoga sprinkled in once or twice a week as well. The workouts are challenging but fun, and are different every day. The trainers, Evan and Jamie, are very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient (which I very much appreciate!). Everyone is very friendly and non-judgmental. If you are looking for a non-traditional gym, look no further!!

Fantastic experience: It has been an amazing experience so for in achieving my fitness goals with FTF. Evan & Jamie have been great in training me and following up with me frequently making sure I am progressing in the right direction. I have received an excellent customer service and looking forward to staying fit and healthy with the training I am receiving.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Forward Thinking Fitness for a little over 4 months now and I love it! This is the most consistent I’ve ever been with my fitness journey because I don’t need to think about anything - just sign up for the time that works best and show up, everything else is already done! It’s a great community with supportive people of all fitness levels and ages - I’ve never felt judged or out of place which was a fear of mine when I started. Evan and Jamie are so helpful - correcting your form so you get the most out of a move, encouraging you along the way, and giving alternative exercises if needed. This is the strongest I’ve felt in years and can’t wait to keep progressing in 2024 - if you’re thinking about joining just do it, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: A few months ago, I was looking for someone to push me into the right direction when it came to bettering my health and fitness. Forward Thinking Fitness was recommended to do just that for me by my massage therapist. Evan and Jamie are fantastic when it comes to pushing you to your limits (and sometimes past them, because we all can do it!), it definitely counts especially on the days that you feel like you can’t, they are there to remind you that you can. Along with the trainers, the members of the gym are very supportive as well, as they too are working towards a common goal. Together we keep each other accountable!

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of the fitness family at FTF for several months. I am beyond grateful to Evan and his team for the positive and comfortable environment they’ve created! If you are looking to be a “happier, healthier you” - I highly recommend Forward Thinking Fitness. They will help you set goals for yourself with their personalized programming. They will encourage and motivate you every step of the way!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend FTF if you are looking to get yourself your body in shape, to look/feel healthy overall, and to live a healthy lifestyle!!!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Forward Thinking Fitness has been stellar, to say the least. Evan and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They are supportive and encourage you to push yourself while also helping you with the proper form. The facility and exercises are set up in a way that has everyone engaged and I never feel self concious. The classes have many varations of exercise and yoga is also offered(I'm excited for that to become more available). They are also adapted specifically for each persons strength and skill level so I never felt like I was out of my depth or struggling to keep up. There was a new nutritionist hired recently and I had only been with the previous one briefly but she was extremely helpful in getting my diet in line and helping me understand what I need to fuel an exercising body. I look forward to meeting and working with the new one. I highly recommend Forward Thinking Fitness if you are looking for an excellent exercise and diet program. I truly feel like I am being pushed to do my best and learning that as long as I am willing to put in the work I will see results. And of course, Link always makes the day better!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with an excellent facility - highly recommend for a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Joining FTF was one of the greatest decisions I could have made for myself. I feel so supported by staff and the other people in the program. I have made progress I could have never made on my own.

Fantastic experience: Evan and his FTF team has been awesome to me. The overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness has been such a great addition to my routine! For anyone looking for immense support in their fitness and health journey, I can't recommend Evan and the team at Forward Thinking Fitness enough!

Fantastic experience: FTF has been great since the beginning. Everyone is so welcoming - Evan, the other trainers, Maria and the other clients. Everyone is very supportive of each other and it creates a very warm and welcoming environment. Could not recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I have never been able to go to a gym and follow a program that kept me motivated. Forward Thinking Fitness has a personalized approach that keeps me engaged and on a healthy track. Highly recommend you check it out.

Fantastic experience: I work for Robbins Rehab West, a private physical therapy practice, and we work closely with Forward Thinking Fitness with several of our patients. I enjoy interacting with them and they do amazing work with our patients after they are done with physical therapy. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to improve health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: My experience at FTF has been positive on every level. I was stuck in the same exercise routine for a while. The workouts at FTF are unique and keep me extremely motivated. I leave feeling more energized and uplifted. The trainers and the community have been an amazing support system as well☺️ I’m so thankful that I decided to further my fitness journey at FTF!

Fantastic experience: FTF helped me get back into the swing of things. I have felt more energized and motivated to keep my body happy, healthy, and safe. They hold you accountable and that is what I love! Truly, FTF has made me excited to take an hour out of my day to destress from my day. They are an awesome community to be around and cheer each other on as we push through the full body workouts. The trainers really care about each individual by getting to know our goals. Also, they give wonderful advice on other possible ways to reach each individual goal. Amazing Team! Awesome Place!

Fantastic experience: FTF is a comprehensive, no judgement place to improve your physical and mental self. Evan Howard and his team give you the tools and encouragement; equally important is the messaging to discipline yourself and show up! The world is full of places and people that preach fitness, healthy living, etc. but all too often are disingenuous, not welcoming, and lose interest in helping you after a couple of weeks. Forward Thinking Fitness is real! If you are real about improving your life and well being, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about this place. The vibe, the atmosphere, the staff and community is super welcoming. The workouts and the focus on you to make sure your positioning is right and you are doing that extra push to finish is there. Staff care about you and the members help motivate you to push yourself even more. It’s not your typical gym at all. This is definitely the place for you if you enjoy working with personal trainers and high intensity circuit workouts. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of FTF since November of 22.  I really like the flexible schedule for workouts.  They have a great program built around helping you lose fat and build muscle.  I’ve seen great results in only 3 months.  I’ve lost 15 lbs.  I have to travel as part of my job, there are plenty of virtual options to take advantage of so you don’t miss a workout.  My wife and I both are very satisfied members.

Fantastic experience: FTF isn't a gym w a bunch of weight machines where you're left on your own to figure out what to do. FTF offers you to workout on your own if you want which is great, but I really enjoy the group and semi private training options that are offered. Their trainers are professionals in the field of fitness, very friendly and they know how to motivate you from start to finish. The facility is always in order and clean - no broken equipment or technology. Speaking of technology, they have state of the art heart & effort monitoring that is worn by each customer and is displayed on large screens throughout the facility. Post workout you are emailed your stats (calories burned, avg heart rate, etc.), and a monthly summary is also sent - pretty satisfying to read that you've burned 11,000+ calories in a month! The owner Evan is motivating and professional, and his trainers and dietician are great. I look and feel great since I started in Jan. Thanks FTF! - Jason

Fantastic experience: Do yourself a favor and check this place out! I have been using the services of FTF for about 3 months now and I cannot recommend this amazing team enough! Evan and his staff take an individualized approach to your fitness and health. Whether you need dietician support or smaller workout group settings there is a place for everyone to start their journey and grow as they reach their fitness goals. I never thought working out would be my favorite part of the day but it is when I do it at FTF! Please check them out! This community is one of a kind!

Fantastic experience: FTF is a 5 star rating! I’ve had gym memberships for over 15 years and I would choose this one continuously. Evan and his coaching team prioritize exercise physiology, safe movements, getting full function of your body. The work outs get you a full burn and cardio without big cardio machines or running. As someone with old sports injuries , I cannot do traditional treadmill or running , yet FTF work outs have me feeling like I am! I love how many class options exist a day and how you become a part of a true community here!

Fantastic experience: When I started going to FTF, it was my last attempt to find a program that fit my needs. I knew that I needed to get moving because my job is too sedentary (clinical counselor) and things that used to be easy for me to do were now becoming hard. I met Evan during my “intake” appointment. He listened to what I was looking for and has been supporting my journey since then. I have issues with my knees and the exercise routine is adjusted to prevent further damage. Jamie, Amanda, Maria and Jocelyn (the yoga instructor) are also wonderful to work with. The people in the small group classes become friends and support each other. I feel stronger than I did 10 years ago and now, when I don’t move enough, my body yells at me. My only regret is not having started sooner.

Fantastic experience: Joining FTF has been one of the best choices I have made for myself in a long time. Evan, Jamie, and Amanda are excellent and knowledgeable trainers. Everyone is nice and friendly and I there is no judgement on what you can and can't do. The exercises are catered to what level I am at and it allows me to grow. My mental health has definitely improved since I started and I feel a lot better throughout the day. I am looking forward to going now!

Fantastic experience: FTF is a great atmosphere. The staff is phenomenal. The words of encouragement and motivation they give you is amazing. I love the semi private sessions!! In the beginning I struggled with finding the desire to want to go to the gym, and now I enjoy going. I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined in January ‘23.

Fantastic experience: FTF is not your regular gym. The atmosphere at FTF is such a welcoming environment even for the below average person regarding exercise. The dim lighting and variety of music actually help clients feel less intimidated when getting in their workout. Workouts are customized to the individual, and their staff is extremely knowledgeable. Additionally, they have a dietician on staff who has really helped me to learn what I should be eating to help me achieve my goals. I highly recommend FTF... They are way ahead of any other gym because of their well-rounded approach to health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to FTF a month ago and it’s not like other gyms-in the best way. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. And they also are great about fixing your form so that you get the most out of the workout without getting hurt. Unlike other gyms, the workouts are different everyday, which keeps me motivated to keep going back. The other clients were very welcoming and friendly. I love how I am usually welcomed by Link, because where else would I be able to workout next to the cutest little dog? The workouts are very tough, but they are so rewarding! If you’re looking for a unique gym in the Lehigh Valley that will keep you motivated to keep coming back, FTF is definitely the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: Great comprehensive program - fitness, motivation, progress checks and nutritional counseling. The gym itself itself is super clean with a great vibe. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly while keeping you honest and correcting your form. The other clients there are all so welcoming and there is no judgement. There are always modifications to exercises for each fitness level that are shared at each class. Each day the exercises and format change to keep things interesting. Also love how the easy it is to manage your schedule on their app!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about my experiences at FTF. I got a nudge from a friend late one Sunday night and Evan wasted no time texting to see if I wanted to hop on a call! (He likely knew I might crawl back under my rock if he didn’t close the deal in that single urge) Nonetheless, I stepped foot in the facility and never had a single regret. I didn’t have to “dress up or stress up” going into the gym. The trainers were carefully chosen with the knowledge and patience to cater to every individual without another member’s workout suffering or getting slowed down. The membership is welcoming and supportive. The facility is always kept clean and is never too crowded to have access to the equipment. Every workout is designed specifically for you and the best part- even when i am traveling or just can’t get there due to my work schedule, I can schedule and a personalized workout is downloaded into my app on my phone. It may cost a little more than most gyms, but the personalized service, friendliness and support of membership and overall atmosphere make it so worth it! I’d recommend FTF to anyone looking to find a healthier version of themself! Make the call! You can thank me later!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere and staff at FTF is like nothing I've ever experienced before at a gym! I love going and hate when I have to miss a session. They are so helpful during workouts to make sure your position is correct so you don't hurt yourself. The check ins are awesome so you can really see your hard work paying off! I'm so glad I found my gym family!

Fantastic experience: I love Forward Thinking Fitness! I’ve been to multiple gyms and haven’t sticked with it, and I finally found FTF and I feel like I’m more motivated and I feel like I found the right gym to workout! I love all the trainers, they help me on my posture on working out so I know I’m doing the workout correct. They make sure you don’t hurt yourself while working out, like if you had a recent or long injury they’ll always be glad to modify the workout to make it a bit easier for you. I feel like FTF is the perfect gym to go to even if you are a beginner, we have levels and they’ll always take it slow and you go your own pace.

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness is my reason to get out of bed in the morning… no, literally!!! Since joining FTF, I have become a regular at the 5:30AM small group sessions. I enjoy attending FTF so much because all I have to do is show up! Once I walk through the doors, a new and challenging full body workout is provided by the knowledge trainers, Evan or Jamie, with modifications to increase or decrease difficulty. Baseline information is taken at your first appointment and roughly every 8 weeks you meet with a team member to check in on your progress and goals that YOU set. This individualized approach helps you to see your strengths and target your weaknesses. During the workouts, the trainers actively walk around and make individualized adjustments to your form for safety and maximum benefit of the movements. Not only does FTF provide strength and conditioning workouts, but the team also puts emphasis on increasing mobility and mindfulness with yoga provided at the new Be Well Body Work Studio. Kristine does an excellent job of maximizing relaxation with various stretches and breathing techniques!‍♀️ I highly recommend FTF to someone like me who wants to workout more regularly, but benefits from the guidance on what to do once they step into the gym!

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness has been one of the best choices I’ve made for myself in a LONG time. In just 4 months, I feel more confident, motivated, and productive than I have in YEARS. The staff here is top notch; patient, respectful, and knowledgeable. I’ve never had an experience quite like this at any other “gym”. I’m able to stay focused and on track thanks to Evan and his team.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience here! I highly recommend this gym if you want to transform your specific body. Evan has the machine to specify your specific body type and what you need and you can gradually see the huge improvements he pushes you through. Everyone you meet here is so encouraging and helpful. I gained 5lbs of muscle and I feel so much more energized from when I started! Also the gym setting is SWEET it’s a very comfortable environment!

Fantastic experience: I love FTF! As someone who has never loved working out, it is a relief to find somewhere that gives me the motivation to focus on my health. The atmosphere is very laid back and you will never feel out of place. Everybody is super friendly and welcoming. The small group workouts are always different and challenging in all the right ways. The trainers are helpful with improving your form and motivating you to push yourself. You can tell they actually care and aren't just running through the motions. I find myself actually missing the workouts if I can't make it to the gym for a few days - crazy! I highly recommend FTF! Starting a new workout program, especially when you are out of shape like I was myself, is nerve-racking, but I promise you won't regret contacting Evan. Just get here and in a couple of weeks you'll feel like a new person!

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical, and a bit wary, when my wife suggested joining 'her gym'. Now, I know I should have taken her advice a while ago. I really look forward to every workout here. The trainers are great with suggestions for the best form and also the best alternative for our needs, whether for ability or physical limitations. I feel a lot better, see improvements in my physique, and my bloodwork numbers are the very best, by a lot, in 15 years! The community is great too. If you're Thinking about it, move Forward as fast as you can

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend FTF enough! The community is so supportive, the vibe is fun, and the trainers challenge you when you need it. The workout is different every day, and I love being able to do solo sessions when I want the gym to myself, or small group when I’m feeling social or just want to feed off of others energies. The personalized attention I got in semi private sessions when I first joined helped me correct my form and posture to get the most out of any workout. Joining FTF has helped me stay motivated and consistent to reach my fitness goals

Fantastic experience: I love the atmosphere of this fitness gym. It is tucked away on Iroquois Trail, unassuming but perfect for my daily workouts. The team of professionals are wonderful, they personalize your workouts to make sure you are challenging yourself in a safe manner. You can't help but get stronger! It is also a place to meet new people as everyone has been very welcoming and positive. What a great place!

Negative experience: Don’t believe them if they say your account is on hold for $20.00. Just cancel you don’t need to donate &20.00 for a few weeks to be charged twice in the month $89.00. And $89.00 every week when your not working and trying to heal. Would NEVER go back! To be told we don’t do freezes then why did you charge $20 for weeks? And then $89 times 2 Nov1. $89.00 a week for someone who is working is a Lot. But when you leave not is Criminal

Fantastic experience: I reached out to inquire about Forward Thinking Fitness after a family member “liked” them on FB and started my journey 3 days later. After four months, I’m amazed at what I’m capable of achieving. This gym offers an experience like no other; the workouts are challenging and meet everyone at their individual fitness level. If you are looking for a clean, well equipped, welcoming place to get in shape, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness is like no other gym around. The atmosphere and community makes this place unique. The consistency in workouts is a huge motivator to keep pushing the pace! The staff is super encouraging and motivates everyone on different levels to help achieve their fitness goals. I highly recommend if you are looking to switch up your fitness routine! You won’t be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Before coming to Forward Thinking Fitness, I was hesitant and very self-aware about my ability to go to a gym. When I started looking for a gym for me, I was very specific about what I wanted out of the gym and about what I was going to put into it. From my first night with Evan discussing the possibilities and choices for programs here, I knew I had not only found a gym, but also a support system. Evan, Joel, and Jamie have all taken the time to get to know me, my concerns and my goals, and have stopped at nothing to work hand-in-hand to get me to where I want to be without pushing me into a place I didn’t want to be, but also holding me accountable for my progress and my decisions. I have never felt more empowered to take care of myself and better myself than I have with everyone at Forward Thinking Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I joined forward thinking fitness to get back on track with my health journey with some guidance; little did I know I would come to find an awesome community committed to change. I never thought that I could look forward to workouts but the trainers here have an infectious energy that get me motivated and help me push harder! If you are looking for a place where everyone is welcome and all are working towards a same goal, look no further! Evan is incredibly approachable and the best cheerleader. I’m still surprised at my progress in only a few months, I find myself being able to do more with each session and my energy levels is so much better!

Fantastic experience: Forward Thinking Fitness is an excellent gym for those who want a more tailored and structured setting. As someone who has never really been a gym-goer, and has mostly stuck to running and cardio-heavy sports, I knew going in I needed some extra attention to learning not only correct form, but the 'why' and 'how' to achieve my fitness goals. Evan is excellent at being able to tailor your workout to not only your baseline fitness level, but accommodating past injuries, and setting reachable expectations and milestones for the goals you set. Having the options of doing Semi-Private (up to about 8 people), Small Group (up to about 16 people), Solo workouts, and sprinklings of yoga for flexibility throughout the week really help mix up the week. It also helps that every single day's structured circuits are different. I personally started off doing Semi-Privates until I felt comfortable with my form, and started then going to more of the Small Group classes. Now with that being said, I think the only thing to mindful of is that this definitely is not the cost of a Planet Fitness. But with what you're getting: Real time workout data tracking, experienced instructors, the close attention by the staff every session to make sure you're form is right, and great structured workouts with people across all stages of their fitness journey - it's worth it if that's what you're looking for. But you have to make sure that the value of what you're getting for the cost is right for you. Also, on a lighter note, having an incredibly cute dog bopping around while you workout is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: My interest in joint Forward Thinking Fitness occurred after I saw an ad for a fitness program for women over 60. I was experiencing difficulty getting up off the floor and knew it was due to muscle weakness. So I signed up and began my journey. I am SO happy I joined. I can see positive changes in my strength and outlook. The workouts are challenging but effective. The staff are always helpful and one of the best parts is the participants- have had some great laughs. So if you are looking to get yourself in shape and have fun-this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym since March. I was like everyone else - didn’t think I had the time to workout. Tried other programs but never stuck with it. Thought the $10 gym was the way to go. Since joining, exercise has become a part of my everyday. I’m working out 4-5 times a week. The trainers are so friendly and helpful and so are the members. The members range from those just starting out to people who have been members for years. The classes are the perfect length of time and I love seeing the exercises ahead of class on the app so I can better prepare myself for class. I’m thankful I found a place like this.

Fantastic experience: A gym that truly personalizes your workouts! I joined Forward Thinking Fitness after ending a 14 year membership at another local gym. I was immediately impressed with Evan's enthusiasm and knowledge of best practices in the fitness field. I love how the workouts are always different, challenging, and fun. I am currently dealing with some shoulder issues, and both Evan and Jamie will adapt the exercises on any given day to accommodate my injury. They are totally present during both semi-private and small group classes, offering gentle tweaks and corrections so the benefits of each exercise are maximized. The equipment is top notch and well maintained and the unique lighting in the facility allows you to focus on your own work during the session, while still sharing a communal exercise experience.

Fantastic experience: From my experience I can only speak highly of FTF, it's a welcoming place that will push you to do a little more and do it correctly, and I've noticed plenty of physical and mental change in myself in my 4+ months of training at FTF. But as with any gym you get out what you put in! Honestly, if you are intimidated by going to a "regular" gym, or maybe you don't know what to do and want direction with your workouts, This is the perfect place to do it. It has something for everyone and there is a very nice community to go with the great training staff. I suggest giving it a try and coming in to talk with Evan about your goals. He will definitely spend some time getting to know what you're looking for and try to help you to get there.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about this facility. I have been out of the gym scene for many years. I was beyond scared to even walk in the front door but from that moment Evan (the owner) and Link made me so comfortable. The atmosphere was different yet awesome...unlike any gym I've seen. I was still a little scared but after having my initial meeting with Evan I knew this was the place I belonged. Evan and me scheduled my first class and of course my anxiety was so huge...but I walked into the most inviting experience...by both the trainer and also the clients. I have now gone on almost 100 days and its the best experience I have ever had with a gym. They care, they help you through a journey ( difficult or not). The atmosphere is awesome. The owner and the trainers honestly care about the clients.I recommend this place 1000%

Fantastic experience: Joining FTF has been the best decision I have made for my health. The trainers and nutritionists are highly educated and formulate a plan that is best for you. Every workout is designed to challenge you at whatever level of fitness you may be. The program keeps you accountable with a very fun atmosphere, you will actually want to go to the gym everyday

Fantastic experience: I love the overall atmosphere of the gym. Not your typical gym. The trainers are there to ensure you are doing everything correctly and push you through the sessions. The semi private sessions are amazing on how much attention and reinforcement you get while working out. The small group sessions are just as good and enjoy pushing others and others pushing you to better yourself. Truly one of the best gyms I have ever been a member of. The entire staff rocks and is always there to help you out and give you advice on how to be your best.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome fitness studio! Forward Thinking Fitness is more than just a gym. From the minute you walk in, you feel such a positive vibe. Evan and his team are completely dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals. The smaller class sizes allow for more individualized instruction. FTF has truly motivated me and helped me to feel more comfortable going to a gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Forward Thinking Fitness for about 4 months. I’ve belonged to bigger gyms with lots of machines, and also worked out at home with a personal trainer. FTF by far is a great fit for me. I work out in the small group sessions and semi private sessions. They both give me personalized attention, help with making sure my form is right and don’t hurt myself. Plus the positivity you get from all the trainers as well as the other people working out makes it an amazing community. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. Not only because of the intense, fun personalized work outs, but because of the community that is at the center of it all. Other gyms feel so impersonal, but this one fosters a team environment with small but mighty actions by the staff. Each trainer knows your name, your level of fitness, and when to encourage you to push for more - a high five and genuine excitement for your progress goes a long way. They will correct your form- which is HUGE- and ensure your efforts will pay off and keep you injury free. This gym is clean, up to date with great equipment and has a stellar staff. I've been a member of multiple gyms in the area and other states and you can’t get a better experience anywhere else. Lately, I've been doing the sessions remotely and am confident in my form because of the coaching received while previously in the gym. This makes it much more convenient for my schedule. The app is easy to use and has short video examples of prescribed moves, but I know that if I have any questions, the team is just a call or text away.
