I’m currently training to qualify for the Boston Marathon, and Fitness Thinking Forward Fitness Center has been an incredible part of my journey. The team is knowledgeable and supportive, offering not just top-notch workouts but personalized nutrition guidance tailored to my goals. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my endurance and strength, and the atmosphere is always encouraging and motivating. If you're serious about your fitness goals, whether it’s running a marathon or getting in the best shape of your life, I highly recommend them!

I've been a member of FTF and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made! The facilities are top-notch, always clean and well-maintained. The equipment is state-of-the-art and diverse, catering to all fitness levels.

The trainers and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help especially Jamie Elliot. They offer a variety of group classes, personal training sessions, and workshops to keep your workout routine exciting and fun.

I have been a member of Forward Thinking Fitness since last April. The reason that is so significant is because it is by far the longest stretch of time I have EVER committed to working out. The longest stretch of time prior was probably a month (to give you perspective). Evan and Jamie have taught me so much and more importantly have helped me overcome my fear of working out. In addition to those things I have also seen big results in my time there. As somehow who works from home I was not very active and my muscle mass was well below average. I am now very close to where I should be, and that is apparent in the significant decrease in joint pain that I was feeling when I first started. Whether you are like me last April and don’t know where to even start with your fitness journey…or you’re someone who’s already well on their way, I 10/10 recommend checking out Forward Thinking Fitness.

One day I had the urge to join a gym after reaching a standstill in my weight loss journey, but the thought of joining a public gym was terrifying. I decided that personal training would be best for me, so I went straight to Google. When I found FTF I was excited that I'd possibly found a gym that I would feel comfortable in, but I was also scared to take that first step. I didn't think I'd push myself to make the phone call but somehow I did and I have no regrets. Evan and his team are amazing. They give endless support and are always ready to help me push myself to the next level. They are so accommodating to my needs and the intensity of the workouts are tailored to my level so that I can exercise in a safe way. I work with their dietician, Paige once a week and she has helped me create healthy eating habits and she consistently shows interest in my overall well-being. If someone would have told me a year ago that I'd be going to the gym and enjoying it, I'd think they were lying. For that, I'm so grateful to have found Forward Thinking Fitness.

Let me start by saying that I’m not one for writing reviews or making a big deal of things… but I have to give credit where credit is due.
When I made the decision to get healthy, I did a good deal of research on where I wanted to work out. I chose FTF after meeting with Evan because he showed a genuine interest in helping people achieve their goals. He could probably tell that I was reluctant to even get started and he reassured me that they would be with me at every step of the process. And, he was right. The trainers work closely with each client to ensure safe movement and they are there to answer any questions you have… and I have a lot. Workout times are convenient and can be varied for your pace. They’re not there to make sure you finish every exercise perfectly, they’re there to encourage you to see your potential.
FTF also offers nutritional counseling and meal planning assistance for those of us who need it. As well as someone to talk to weekly if you’re like me and need accountability.
Workouts are tailored for each client to ensure you’re progressing at your own pace and results and results are celebrated by everyone at the gym. FTF has created a culture of supportive and encouraging gym-goers that I truly feel comfortable working out with. Plus, the music at that gym is better than most clubs.
I have been using Forward Thinking Fitness for 6 months and have lost 35lbs of fat and gained 5lbs of muscle. I’m really glad I chose to work with Evan and Forward Thinking Fitness and you will too!

I am so happy and glad that I found Evan and his team at FTF. I am a mom of a 6 year old and 3 year old trying to get back into my fitness journey for few years now. Something or the other always came in the way. I found FTF this april after I recently moved into this area. From my first initial call to Evan to find out about the programs the gym offer I could see his passion , dedication and attention to detail towards the client and their needs. Jamie is amazing with her personal training sessions . She is with you every point of the way pushing you , cheering you . The workouts are the best mix I always look forward to whats in the store for next day. Somedays are harder but all I need to do is push myself in the door and Jamie / Evan does all the magic . I always look forward to going to FTF and it has become my happy place ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been going to Forward Thinking Fitness for about six months now, and I must say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made regarding my health. I went from being completely inactive to working out 4-5 times a week, with some yoga sprinkled in once or twice a week as well. The workouts are challenging but fun, and are different every day. The trainers, Evan and Jamie, are very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient (which I very much appreciate!). Everyone is very friendly and non-judgmental. If you are looking for a non-traditional gym, look no further!!
