Our Mission
Fitness Done Differently
Forge Fitness was founded by Sam Pappas with a simple belief: a gym should exist to help people—not to squeeze money out of them. Tired of big-box gyms where members were treated like numbers, Sam created a place where people felt supported, encouraged, and genuinely cared for. A gym where anyone could walk in—no matter their experience or confidence—and feel like they belonged.
Today, we continue that mission. Forge Fitness is built around hard work, real results, and a strong sense of community. With 24/7 access, personalized coaching, and small-group training, we give every member the support and tools they need to grow. Forge is more than a gym—it’s a purpose-driven space dedicated to helping you become stronger and healthier.
Built for Your Success
Everything we do at Forge Fitness is centered around helping our members succeed. Real results come from consistency, guidance, and a community that has your back—so that’s what we focus on. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an experienced lifter breaking through a plateau, our coaches and programs meet you right where you are.
We keep the gym clean, accessible, and fully equipped without the pressure or distractions of big-box chains. Our trainers are here to help you move better, lift safely, and stay motivated, and our members form a community built on effort and progress. At Forge Fitness, you’re never on this journey alone—we’re here to support your goals and celebrate every step forward.
