FWRD+ is a challenging place to workout and although I’m new I can feel the sense of family / community. There are a variety of classes so it’s always interesting and fresh. So grateful to be connected here!

I love Fwrd! Such an inspiring and motivating community. I love the variety of classes and teachers. Everyone is so welcome and I look forward to each class! The Fresh Creations fridge is a major bonus!

When our beloved barre studio closed in January, the task of finding a new place seemed emotionally draining and daunting. Fast "forward" (pun intended) two months and I can happily say I have found my new home at FWRD+. From the moment I walked in to my first class, everyone was so warm and genuinely inviting that I felt instantly at ease. The instructors are knowledgeable and inspiring and the variety of classes leaves you feeling sweaty, challenged, successful and sincerely cared for, all at once. The music is motivating...the atmosphere is encouraging and welcoming....and everyone works hard and supports each other. Whatever the day holds, I know I'll get it off to a good start at FWRD+ and leave feeling better than I did walking in...I'm very grateful!

I joined FWRD+ just a couple of months ago, but love the work outs!! I never feel pressured and can go at my own pace! I can really feel my core and pelvis getting stronger and am so excited to be on a journey for overall better health and well-being!! They have all of the tools (fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, etc) to get me feeling my best self!!

I have been at FWRD since mid January after being at another barre fitness for over 7 years. I am so impressed with not only the owner and instructors at FWRD but all their clients as well. They truly have an amazing community and from the beginning they have made me feel a big part of it. The workouts are definitely more challenging than at my other studio but I think they're pushing me to be stronger and more flexible. Which I do embrace. I'm so glad I'm part of this awesome studio.

Usually I go to a gym, a dance class, some group fitness and go “that was cool, but don’t want to do it again.” This is the place that I just keep coming back to… multiple times a week for over three years. Never thought I would be “that person”, but here we are. :)For anyone worried that they aren’t flexible enough, strong enough, fit enough, coordinated enough, etc, and are worried about getting hurt, let me reassure you: this place can work for you. I have a connective tissue disorder, an autonomic nerve disorder, asthma, and chronic migraines (in short: not a healthy person) and these ladies have helped me find my own version of success with all of the class formats from day one while also making me feel like whatever I can do is enough.Come to workout. Stay because you feel seen and cared for by all the ladies that make this place magical. You’ll leave sweatier and happier!

I am ecstatic about my experience with FWRD+ Wellness Collective. I recently joined to become a member and this is now my twice a week therapy. I knew from the first day that this was the place for me. I love the workouts, instructors, staff, and music. I have mostly attended Pilates Sculpt. This is a challenging class but the time goes by really fast. I am still working on some of the moves like burpees and mountain climbers. Whatever your level, you will sweat and have fun.

FWRD+ is the best workout I have ever done. I do nothing else but the different variations of classes they have to offer. It’s the best combination of cardio and strength work. I have been an athlete my whole life, but as a mom to three young kids, I don’t have time to do sports, but working out is essential in my life! I feel more fit now after three kids than I have when I was in my 20s! I credit it all to FWRD, and to their classes and amazing teachers. In addition to the classes they have childcare as well which I take full advantage of! My daughter loves going there and it allows me to have 45 min of me time to completely focus on myself. The childcare staff are kind and gentle and take the best care of my 1 year old. I would not be able to get an effective workout in if not for FWRD+ and the childcare services. Lastly the community is amazing. All the members who attend are so nice and welcoming. It does not feel intimidating at all. Highly recommend!

Edited to add:I’ve now been working out at FWRD+ for four months now. I love it even more as time goes on! I enjoy all of the class formats-there’s great variety and they are so much fun! The instructors all continue to be FABULOUS and so helpful as this is my first time doing barre. My son loves coming to childcare so much that I literally have to drag him out of the studio to go home! And the community is truly amazing. I’ve now been a part of the weekly book club, various events and the Fuel program for healthy eating. There is so much intention and thought that goes into each class/event/program and each has been a wonderful addition to my wellness journey. The classes and the Fuel program have made me so strong and I’m finally back to my pre-baby self. I feel the best I’ve felt in years! I can’t recommend FWRD+ enough-it’s truly the best!Previous:I’ve been attending classes at FWRD regularly for about 6 weeks now and I look forward to every single class! Joining this studio has been the absolute best thing I’ve done for myself since having a baby. The classes are a great workout whether you’re looking for low, moderate or high intensity, and I love how strength-building is incorporated into the movements. The members I’ve talked to are very friendly and many have worked out here for 5-8+ years. Each teacher offers something unique and special to the classes, and all are so knowledgeable and helpful, which is great because I’ve never done this type of workout before. The childcare attendants are sweet and patient with my very attached 15 month-old and the studio manager and owner are both so friendly and welcoming. My favorite part about FWRD is that it is so not focused on weight loss or attaining a certain body shape, but rather how to live in health, self-gratitude and intention. Oh and do yourself a major favor and try the monthly breath work and sound healing sessions! They are phenomenal, like everything else about this studio. I love FWRD and will be here for many years to come!
