What Clients Are Saying

"I highly recommend this gym! I just finished their 12-week small group training program, and I’ve had such a great experience.

The coaches create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable no matter your fitness level. The small group setting gives you plenty of individual attention while still being motivating and fun.

Not only have I gotten stronger, but I’ve also learned so much about nutrition. Instead of feeling restricted, I now have a much healthier relationship with food and know how to enjoy the foods I like in moderation. It’s been a lifestyle change instead of just another diet.

A special thank you to Evan and Ashleigh for all of their support and guidance throughout the program. They truly care about helping people succeed and gave me the confidence and tools to continue this journey on my own. I’m so grateful for everything I learned over the last 12 weeks!"

Courtney

"I highly recommend Forward Thinking Fitness. They really helped me change my health for the better. Since starting with them in May of this year I was able to lose 30 pounds. They provide structured workout routines, community with other fellow members, and support to reach your goals. It has been a wonderful health and wellness journey so far. Highly recommend! 💯"

"Joining Forward Thinking Fitness was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my health/wellbeing! I've always struggled with consistency and finding balance with incorporating exercise into my life. Now, for the first time ever, I finally feel like I have a sustainable program that works for me! Having a trainer to guide me along through workouts is extremely helpful and beyond valuable. The semi-private and small group formats are perfect for people like me who deal with anxiety and are easily overwhelmed by the thought of walking into a gym and figuring out an appropriate workout. At Forward Thinking Fitness, all the guess work is eliminated so your focus can be on simply showing up and moving your body. The vibe there is awesome with dim colored lighting and bumping music to fuel you through workouts. Evan and his team are very welcoming, friendly, and supportive. It has been great having someone to hold me accountable while continually cheering me on. FTF's mascot, Link the dog, will never fail to make me smile even when my muscles are sore! I am so grateful to be a part of the Forward Thinking Fitness family and witnessing myself grow stronger as I get in shape! 💪🏻"

"I was looking for a gym that would help me change my body after some weight gain. FTF gives an all-encompassing approach to help you reach your goals. The bi-monthly scans let you see the changes your body is making, which is clutch when the scale doesn’t show what you feel. The workouts focus on a combination of strength and cardio that help the weight to drop and muscle to grow. There is a great focus on form and I never worried about pushing too hard and getting hurt. I also signed up for Nutritionist counseling which was a missing piece that helped me make better lifestyle changes to get the results I was looking for."

Katie

"Joining Forward thinking fitness was one of my best decision of 2025. It has definitely improved my every day life and I can’t wait to see what a full year will do for me. It’s an absolute great place to achieve your fitness goals."

Kevon

"I’ve been going to Forward Thinking Fitness in Trexlertown for about 4 months and have already lost almost 40 lbs! I’ve made small tweaks to my diet and routine, but I’m not killing myself to do it — classes are just 25–40 minutes, and they rotate focus each week. It’s a small time commitment with big results, and my energy has never been higher.

I was hesitant about joining group classes at first, but everyone here is on their own path with zero judgment. Whether you like to keep to yourself or chat a bit, the atmosphere is friendly and supportive.

Evan and his team are incredible. Sam (the dietitian) keeps me on track with realistic goals, and new trainers like Elise bring awesome energy. The app is easy to use, scheduling is flexible, and Evan truly works with you when life happens.

Can’t recommend FTF enough — amazing results, great people, and a community that truly cares."

FAQs

What is Semi Private Personal Training?

Semi Private Personal Training gives you individualized programming and professional coaching while sharing the training space with a small number of other clients. At FTF, everyone can be working on their own prescribed program, so you’re not forced to do the same workout as the person next to you. Think personal training with a community—not group exercise wearing a fake mustache.

How many people are in Semi Private Personal Training at Forward Thinking Fitness?

Our Semi Private sessions are intentionally kept small so our coaches can provide individualized attention, instruction, and adjustments throughout your workout. Depending on the session, you’ll train alongside only a handful of other clients rather than disappearing into a room packed with 20 or 30 people.

Do people in a Semi Private session all do the same workout?

Nope. And that’s one of the biggest differences between Semi Private Personal Training and traditional group fitness. Your program is prescribed for your goals, fitness level, health history, and abilities. The person beside you might be training for fat loss, another might want more muscle, and another might simply want to keep up with their grandchildren. Same room. Different humans. Different programs.

Is Semi Private Personal Training good for beginners?

Yes. Semi Private Personal Training can be an excellent option for beginners because you receive professional coaching without feeling like you’re figuring everything out alone in a big-box gym. We’ll establish your foundation first, teach you the movements, and progress your training as your confidence and ability improve.

Is Semi Private Personal Training good for weight loss?

Semi Private Personal Training can be extremely effective for fat loss because it combines structured strength training, conditioning, professional coaching, and accountability. More importantly, we’re interested in helping you lose BODY FAT while maintaining or building lean muscle. That’s a much smarter goal than blindly chasing lower scale weight.

What's the difference between Semi Private and Private Personal Training?

Private Personal Training gives you exclusive one-on-one attention from your coach, while Semi Private Personal Training allows a coach to supervise several clients who may each be following their own programs. Semi Private offers more community and scheduling flexibility, while Private provides maximum privacy and individualized attention.

What's the difference between Semi Private and Small Group Personal Training?

Semi Private Personal Training is more individualized and typically involves each client following their own prescribed program. Small Group Personal Training is a higher-energy shared training experience with up to 12 clients, music, lights, and more synchronized programming. One feels like personalized coaching with your peers. The other feels more like a concert where everyone happens to be lifting weights.

Do I need to bring someone with me for Semi Private Personal Training?

Nope. “Semi Private” describes the training format—not your responsibility to recruit a workout buddy. We’ll handle the people. You handle showing up.

Can adults over 50 do Semi Private Personal Training?

Absolutely. Age alone doesn’t determine which training format is right for you. Your health history, abilities, goals, comfort level, and need for supervision matter much more. Many adults want the personalized coaching of Semi Private training precisely because blindly following generic workouts becomes less appealing as they get serious about staying strong for the long haul.
