Forge Fitness Powered by CrossFit Shades

Forge Fitness is more than a gym, it’s a family! This is the most professional well kept gym that I have ever been a part of! Their coaches are very knowledgeable and they have top of the line facilities. You cannot go wrong with this gym!

I joined Forge about a year ago as a brand new crossfitter. The coaches and more experienced athletes were more than willing to help me out every step of the way. I have never experienced such a supportive community! We truly are a family. I have grown so much as an athlete due to the top notch coaches and programming and I have met some of the best friends I have ever had here. I can't give this gym enough praise!!

Forge is a wonderful place that we look forward to every day. The programming is amazing, the staff is kind, caring and encouraging. The facility is amazing. The members are supportive of every fitness level. I also love the recovery room! I would highly recommend Forge Fitness!

I have been going to Forge since 2017. It's great. The coaches are knowledgeable and the community is fun to be around. It's a family owned business and you can tell. Rich and Patti do a great job of keeping things fun but also professional. I have seen this gym grow over the last couple of years. We get new equipment all the time and the facility is Grade A. I definitely recommend Forge to anyone looking for a gym. I found it doing an internet search in 2017 when I moved to Birmingham and it's been a wonderful experience.

Amazing facility with a lot of culture in it! Atmosphere is great even when there are no classes going. The owner is a top notch guy, very helpful and passionate with what he does. I will definitely come back here as a drop in!
