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!

Expérience fantastique: 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.

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

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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!

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

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

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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!!

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.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

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