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 was nervous about group training, but the semi private sessions at FTF in Orefield changed everything. My coach fixed my squat form in the first week, and after three months I can deadlift more than I ever thought. The small group makes it fun, and I never feel ignored.

At 62, I thought I was too old to start lifting. The coaches in Orefield proved me wrong. They modified every exercise so I felt safe, and now I can carry groceries without back pain. Semi private training here gave me my energy back.

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

How long do semi private personal training sessions last at your Orefield studio?
Each semi private session at Forward Thinking Fitness in Orefield is 45 minutes long. That’s enough time to warm up, work through a focused strength or mobility circuit, and cool down — all under the watchful eye of your coach.
I’ve never worked with a trainer before and I’m a little nervous — will I feel out of place in your Orefield semi private sessions?
Not at all. Most of our clients in Orefield started with zero training experience. Your coach will meet you where you are, teach you every movement from scratch, and scale everything so you feel comfortable and challenged — not intimidated.
How soon could I expect to lift heavier or fit into clothes better after starting semi private training?
Many Orefield clients notice they can lift more weight or button jeans more easily within four to six weeks of consistent semi private training at FTF. Your coach will test your strength periodically and adjust your plan so you keep progressing.
How is your semi private personal training different from just joining a big box gym like Planet Fitness or LA Fitness in Orefield?
Big box gyms hand you a keycard and leave you alone. At FTF in Orefield, you train with a dedicated coach who corrects your form, pushes you smartly, and builds a program just for you — all in a small group where nobody slips through the cracks.
Can I combine semi private personal training with your nutrition therapy for better results?
Absolutely. In fact, that’s one of the most powerful combinations we offer. Our Orefield clients who do semi private training plus nutrition therapy with our registered dietitian see faster changes in body composition and energy because their workout and diet work together.
What happens during my first semi private training session at your Orefield studio?
Your first session starts with a movement assessment — your coach checks your mobility, strength, and any aches or injuries. Then they guide you through a simple workout tailored to your starting point, so you leave feeling capable and excited to come back.
