So far I have been coming to Forge-Rx for 2 months and I can say my overall experience has been extremely satisfying. If you are in the winder area and want to start your health journey look no further. The gym has every strength training machine you could possible think of along with a cardio room up stairs. They also have a sauna that you can pay extra for if you so choose to do so. The staff are very approachable and friendly and willing to assist should have any questions or concerns that you may have. The people that attend the gym are very polite and super respectful to each other. Definitely a great gym and highly recommend if you are in the area.Overall, if you want to change your lifestyle and make health and fitness your lifestyle this a great place to start. They also have programs that you can sign up for to work with a personal trainer that will help you out with your workouts along with your nutritional recommendations.-Dennis

I joined Forge-Rx after being a member of the larger gym in town. That particular gym did not have enough equipment for enrollment size. Forge RX is a smaller, family owned gym. The owners are good people. I do like that they have several sets of dumbbells, so you aren't waiting for people to finish their set (most women use 10 to 25 lbs. There are many sets throughout the gym). They keep the gym clean, which is a major plus to me. They take pride in their gym. The only minor issue I had was I was working out in the smaller weight area behind the front desk & the young lady came and fumigated the area w Lysol as I was working out. It's not something I want to deeply inhale as I'm "in the zone". The lockers in the female locker room are hit or miss w the locks working & a lot of people just leave their stuff there on a permanent basis making it hard to find an empty locker sometimes to secure your belongings. It is a smaller gym, so there is no hip abuctor machine or leg curl. There is only one smith machine which is popular. There are a lot of teenagers that work out as a group here and take a good bit of time on the machines doing their sets. Which, it's good to see them engaged in a healthy lifestyle, I just wish there were more machines. They do offertraininh classes and nutrition guidance (for a fee). I have not used these services, but my neighbor does and she looks absolutely amazing. They do have a smaller infared sauna that you can pay extra for. Just be sure to schedule your time to ensure you get to use it. I take my own bath towel & sweat it all out. (They have smaller, hard sized towels to sit on) The area is kept very clean & I have seen the health benefits already. Overall, I enjoy this gym verses the others in town & if you're looking for a lot of weight loss, it appears to me that their coaching programs are worth it and small enough that you get personalized attention.

My husband and I just moved to Winder. We were looking for a gym for myself. I have a torn acl and wanted to find a gym for light workouts. I saw forge rx and thought this place was perfect. I was given a tour and the packages were broken down to me. We agreed that I would do a 5 day trial before starting my membership( which would be $100 a month). I came in one day to workout and skipped a few days due to anniversary. I came in today for my second day of the trial. I walked in and noone was behind the desk. I looked in a few rooms and didn't see the owner. I decided to workout and just let the owner know afterwards that today was my day 2. (Because I have integrity) As soon as I got ready to workout the owner comes to me and says that I needed to go and start my membership now because I am just using their gym for free. I was very confused. I asked him what was he talking about. He said, I was only supposed to get a 5 day trial. I kept telling him that I understood that and that it was only day 2 of trial. He than says , so you don't have $25? Really!... I said No! not to give today. My husband is an officer and retired veteran and I say this with all thanks to God and humility, but nothing in our income bracket says that I need to sneak into a gym to workout. We just brought a brand new house and I explained that I would start my membership on the 15th, due to husband getting paid on 1st and 15th and how have our finances structured. The owner was very rude and he never apologized for how he talked to me, but kept saying best of luck. Anytime fitness will get my money, because I would rather go somewhere that respects its customers without a five day trial. This family business will continue to be a small family business until you respect your customers and treat them as humans and not criminals. Blessings

I was happy to join the gym and they offered childcare but out of the 4 times I have gone so far twice they have had "unsupervised childcare" that doesn't work for my one year old so pretty upset that I have wasted the gas driving there for no reason to have to turn around and go back home and paying g for childcare that I'm not receiving.

Be wary of these guys. I made three separate attempts to cancel my membership in person along with serveral calls that all went unanswered. The first two times I went there, there was no one at the desk. First trip I waited 20 minutes. Second trip I waited 15 minutes. Today, I actually got someone to help me. The person had me fill out a form but refused to process the cancelation while I was there, saying she was busy and no one else could help me. So I left the form at the desk and called back later. This time someone actually answered the phone when i called. He processed the cancelation and informed me that I'll be charged in October, despite the fact that they charged me last week (early September). I'm moving and will not have access to this gym. I've been trying to cancel the membership for weeks. They don't care. They have a policy of charging for an additional month after cancelation, and made it clear they intend to charge me despite my multiple attempts to cancel because "We are a small gym, we teach classes and hve other duties so we can't always man the desk and phones." Don't join this gym unless you to deal with this kind of treatment. If they do charge me for another month, I fully indent to dispute the charges with my financial institution.

Great gym! High quality equipment, good hours and staff. Family owned and operated. They offer some great services in addition to standard gym access like fitness classes, personal training, IV therapy, and hormone replacement therapy.

Been going for close to a month now and this is without a doubt the best gym I've been to , I've been to about 4 different commercial gyms in the last 5ish years around the Winder area and this gym just has it all and more.Trust me when I say that you don't get a better offer anywhere else, $25 a month for a gym that has equipment you wouldn't find at other gyms at the same price. There's even availability for personal trainers and nutritional coaching (from what I've seen) and even hormone therapy overseen by a doctor! (where else would you find that?)People here are some of the friendliest and welcoming I've seen at a gym and you won't have to deal with over crowded equipment and rowdy crowds.Yes, the gym itself isn't as giant as a LA Fitness or a Lifetime but if you're in the search for a more than reasonably priced gym that has everything you'd need then this is the best gym in the area.

For someone as picky as me, the cleanliness, the smell and the order in a gym are non negotiable. Forge-Rx has all of that plus friendly staff, every kind of machines you need for your workout, and the atmosphere is really cool. Not to mention my personal trainer Evan who has made me enjoy working out (never ever did it before). All the staff is super friendly! Forge-Rx is the best!
