Forj Fitness

Forj Fitness offers competitive membership rates, making it very affordable for USC students like myself. I enjoy the facilities, and is great for what you pay!

A few years ago, I had nothing to live for. As a middle aged man, far past his prime and stuck in a dead end job, I found myself mindlessly going through the motions of my daily life. Everyday was the same monotonous grind. I was sisyphus helplessly pushing the boulder up the hill. Everyday I lived this tortuous loop, until a buddy of mine suggested I go with him to Forj Fitness. As inclined as I was to decline his offer, I begrudgingly agreed. Little did I know, this decision would change my life in ways I never imagined.When I first arrived to the gym, I was impressed with the facilities. They appeared extremely well cleaned and maintained. Before I could admire the gym longer, I was greeted by a gracious staff member who inquired if I was here for a conditioning class. My buddy immediately told the staffer yes and that it was my first time at the gym. As we were welcomed into the gym, I couldn't help but notice the intensity that was emanating from the training area. Everyone who came to the gym wanted to get better. They were not there because their parents or friends told them they needed to work out, they were there because they were pursing excellence. As I looked to my left, boxers were punching so intensely that it looked like a scene from Rocky. The sound of their gloves hitting the pads were reminders to everyone around and to themselves of their dedication to their craft. As I looked to my right, the conditioning group swung the battle ropes with looks on their faces as if they were going to war. As apprehensive as I was to first come to the gym, something about the energy in this gym was infectious. I wanted give it my all just like everyone else here. I wanted to become the best version of myself. And I knew that Forj Fitness could do that for me.And so my training arc at Forj Fitness began. I trained with coach Andy for strength and conditioning, and let me tell you, Andy whipped me into shape. Coach Andy is so inspirational and on my first day working out with him, he gave me so much hope that I could transform myself into something beyond what I could ever dream of. Andy's motivational prowess is only complemented by his expert conditioning circuits and exercises that he has his students do. Whether it was the simple, but effective boxing drills or the avante-garde strength exercises, I challenged (in a good way) every time I stepped into the Forj Fitness gym. I was pushed to the max with Andy's exercises, but I knew I was getting better. After consistently coming to the Forj Fitness gym, I had become addicted to bettering and challenging myself. This gym taught me that my life could be so much more and that I should never stop striving for excellence.More recently, I had the opportunity to train with the USC boxing club at Forj Fitness. And let me tell you, those guys are great. They are some of the most menacing athletic specimens I have ever had the pleasure of working out with. They always go 110% and are ridiculously strong willed. On top of that, they are extremely encouraging and make each other better. If it weren't for Andy and the USC boxing club folk, I wouldn't be where I am today.I am sure you have gathered thus far that Forj Fitness is truly a transformative gym. If you are looking to improve your life and be inspired to become a better version of yourself, Forj Fitness is the place for you. I will leave you with a practical example of how Forj Fitness has changed my life:Plain and simple, Forj Fitness has made in my life in terms of my love life. Before, I was the sad guy at the bar who drank his beer alone, mindlessly watching the screens and their flashing advertisements. Now, I am the life of the party, brimming with confidence every time I enter a new venue. People always come up to me and compliment my bulging arm muscles (courtesy of Andy's training). And just like that, I went from 0 partners to hmmm..., a good number of them. Let's just say Forj Fitness transformed my life for the better.

I had a really great boxing program experience during my time at this gym! I'm looking forward to coming back. Probably the best one in LA i've experienced so far.

There’s no other place I’d rather start my boxing journey than here at Forj. What an incredible team and facility. Felt super supported from Day 1. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend Forj enough! I was getting tired of the same old commercial gyms and needed a change. Boxing seemed intimidating, but the folks here are the friendliest bunch. The coaches are pros, and their expertise made all the difference for me.

Training at Forj Fitness is a great experience for all levels of skill! I train there with the USC boxing team and my time at Forj has really helped me develop as a boxer.

I'm part of the USC boxing club, and I've been training at Forj over the past few months now. Truly an incredible facility, phenomenal coaching, looking forward to learning and progressing on my boxing journey here at Forj

I love Forj Fitness. It’s a great boxing/mma gym with world class coaches. The community is amazing and they really treat you like family.

I just started going to Forj Fitness as I am a USC boxer, and have to say the facilities are really impressive. There is a lot of space to observe sparring fights, workout, and to create a welcoming environment for everyone.

Forj Fitness is the ultimate destination for boxers in LA. The USC boxing team highly recommends this gym for its top-notch facilities and expert trainers for beginner and experienced fighters.
