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.

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’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.

When I first came to Forward Thinking Fitness, I was in rough shape and constantly in pain. Since starting with them in April 2025, the progress has been amazing. I’ve gone down a full size — from XXL/16–18 to XL/14 — and I’m noticeably firmer with real shape showing through. Best of all, I’m no longer living with daily pain. The energy here is always positive, the environment is welcoming, and the results truly speak for themselves. EVAN and his team are truly amazing! If you’re looking for more than just a place to exercise — if you want guidance, accountability, and a supportive team in your corner — Forward Thinking Fitness is the place. I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed! P.S. The facility is really cool as well!

Ftf is great! Coaches were wonderful and caring. They even sent me flowers when I had a death in my family. Evan is super sweet. I'm hoping one day I can get the chance to go back! Every time I try something happens 😭. But this place is great!

I was nervous starting personal training, but my trainer at FTF in Bethlehem made me feel completely comfortable. Within two months, I’d dropped two dress sizes and could run up the stairs without getting winded. The one-on-one attention changed everything for me.

I tried group classes at a big gym in Allentown and never felt like I was progressing. Switching to one-on-one training at FTF was a game-changer. In three months, my back pain is gone and I can deadlift my body weight. The personalized coaching is worth every minute.

At 62, I thought I was too old to start weight training. My FTF trainer in Bethlehem proved me wrong. They adapted every move for my joints, and now I’ve got more energy than I’ve had in years. I feel stronger and more confident in my own skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Forward Thinking Fitness, Bethlehem

How long is each one-on-one personal training session in Bethlehem?
Each session at FTF in Bethlehem is a full 50 minutes of focused, uninterrupted coaching. We use that time wisely — warm-up, strength work, and cool-down — all guided by your trainer every step of the way.
I’ve never worked out before and I’m a little nervous. Is one-on-one personal training okay for me?
Absolutely. Many of our Bethlehem clients start as complete beginners. Your trainer will meet you where you are, teach you proper form, and ensure every session feels supportive, not overwhelming.
If my main goal is to build strength and tone up, when can I expect to feel stronger with one-on-one training in Bethlehem?
Most Bethlehem clients notice real improvements in strength and energy within 4-6 weeks of consistent sessions. Your trainer will track your progress with small milestones, so you see and feel the changes.
How is one-on-one personal training at FTF different from just joining a big-box gym in Bethlehem?
Unlike a big-box gym where you’re handed a keycard and left alone, at FTF in Bethlehem you get a dedicated trainer who designs every rep for you. No crowded floor, no waiting for machines — just expert coaching that adapts to you each session.
Should I combine one-on-one personal training with your nutrition therapy to get better results?
Yes, many Bethlehem clients see faster, more lasting progress when they pair training with our nutrition therapy. Your trainer and our dietitian work together to align your workouts and meals for consistent energy and results.
What happens during my first one-on-one personal training session in Bethlehem — do we just talk, or do I actually workout?
Your first session includes a short conversation about your goals and any injuries, followed by a light workout so your trainer can assess your movement. It’s practical and hands-on, not just an intro — we get moving right away.
