We're thrilled to announce Naz Rayani as our May Member of the Month! 🎉. At 82 years old - Naz insipres us all.

“I had the privilege of joining the Forge community through my work with Denise, starting in 2018. I suffered a severe stroke in 2010, and though I had an excellent recovery, I had struggled with mobility in my shoulders and stability in my gait as I recovered. Through my work with Denise, I've been able to recover full range of motion in my shoulders and much-improved stability in my gait.
I love the community here, and I'm so inspired by the efforts of the Forge members. I love coming here to train, and it's greatly improved my quality of life. Being named member of the month is an honour and a very special privilege for me in my 82nd year.”
- Naz

Congratulations, Naz!

"Getting awarded Member of the Month at forge is a huge honour, and means a lot to me.

The community at this gym is unmatched. It’s one of those places where showing up feels easy because you’re surrounded by people who push you to be better and keep you consistent. The energy here makes a huge difference.

And a big shoutout to the early morning crew for keeping me accountable and pushing me to work harder every day.

Shoutout to our incredible March Member of the Month, Elise McKinnon! 🎉

Give Elise a high-five when you see her around the gym! Your hard work and dedication inspire us all.

"What an honour to be 'Member of the Month' - especially before my boyfriend Quinn! I’ve always enjoyed weightlifting, but before joining Forge I hit a plateau and was starting to lose motivation in the gym. Since becoming a member, the atmosphere here has completely changed the way I approach working out, and I’ve discovered a new love for hybrid-style training. Forge’s unique layout makes it easy to move equipment around and build the kind of workout you want. More than anything, the community here has pushed me to work harder and test my physical limits. I also love seeing the wide range of ages and abilities in the gym because it makes the space feel welcoming, inspiring, and supportive for everyone!”
