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.

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’ve tried gyms all over the Lehigh Valley, but nothing compares to the semi private training at FTF. My coach knows exactly when to push me and when to back off. In three months, I lost 12 pounds and gained so much strength. Best decision I ever made for my health.

Orefield
I was really intimidated by the idea of personal training, but the small group format here made it feel comfortable. The coaches in Orefield are so patient and encouraging. After six weeks, I can already do push-ups without stopping — something I haven’t done in years.

At 62, I thought I was too old to get in shape. FTF proved me wrong. The semi private sessions are challenging but safe, and the nutrition advice from their dietitian helped me drop 15 pounds. I feel 20 years younger. Orefield is lucky to have this place.

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

How long does a typical semi private personal training session last at FTF in Orefield?
Each session is 45 minutes of focused, coach-led training. We’ve found that’s the sweet spot for getting a full workout without burning out. Your coach will structure the time to include warm-up, strength work, and cool-down — all tailored to your goals. FTF clients in Orefield love the efficiency.
I’ve never done any kind of personal training before and I’m a little nervous about keeping up — will I be okay?
Absolutely. We design every session for your current fitness level, so you’ll never feel left behind. Our coaches in Orefield are experts at modifying exercises to match your ability. Most new clients say they were surprised how much they enjoyed it from day one.
If I want to drop a clothing size and feel stronger, how soon can I expect to see changes with semi private training?
Most Orefield clients notice a difference in their energy and how their clothes fit within four to six weeks. Real, lasting changes come from consistency, and our small-group format keeps you coming back. Your coach will adjust your plan as you progress to keep the results coming.
How is FTF’s semi private training different from just joining a big-box gym like Planet Fitness or LA Fitness?
At a big-box gym, you’re on your own — no personalized coaching, no accountability, and lots of distractions. At FTF in Orefield, you get a dedicated coach, a small group of four people max, and a program designed just for you. That’s why our clients see results and stick with it.
Can I combine semi private personal training with nutrition therapy from your registered dietitian?
Yes, and it’s one of the most effective combinations for Orefield clients. Your trainer and our dietitian work together to align your workouts with your eating plan. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain muscle, having both coaches on the same page makes everything faster and easier.
What happens during my very first semi private training session at FTF?
Your first session starts with a movement assessment and a conversation about your goals. Then your coach will guide you through a starter workout to see how you move and where you need support. By the end of the hour, you’ll have a clear plan and a date for your next session. Orefield clients tell us it feels way more personal than they expected.
