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 stuck in a rut with my workouts until I started private personal training at Forward Thinking Fitness. My coach built a plan that actually works with my schedule. In three months I've lost 12 pounds and I can finally do a pull-up. I feel stronger than ever.

After two knee surgeries, I thought I'd never lift heavy again. My trainer at FTF designed a program that strengthened my legs without pain. Now I'm squatting more than before my injury. The private attention made all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Forward Thinking Fitness, Lehigh Valley

How long is each private personal training session in Lehigh Valley, and what does a typical session include?
Sessions are 50 minutes of focused, one-on-one coaching. Your trainer guides you through a warm-up, strength work, cardio or conditioning, and a cool-down — all tailored to your goals. At Forward Thinking Fitness in Lehigh Valley, every minute counts.
I've never worked out before and I'm nervous about looking silly. Is private personal training okay for someone like me?
Absolutely. Our private personal training is perfect for beginners. Your coach starts where you are, teaches you proper form, and moves at your pace. There's no judgment — just support. Many of our Lehigh Valley clients started just like you.
If my goal is to build noticeable muscle tone, how many weeks of private training should I plan for before I see a change?
Most clients see visible changes in 4 to 6 weeks of consistent training. But you'll feel stronger and more confident much sooner. At Forward Thinking Fitness in Lehigh Valley, we track your progress every step so you know you're moving forward.
How is private personal training at FTF different from joining a big-box gym like Planet Fitness or LA Fitness?
At a big-box gym, you're on your own with a generic workout plan. At FTF in Lehigh Valley, you have a coach who watches every rep, corrects your form, and designs each session specifically for you. No waiting, no guessing — just real results.
Can I combine private personal training with nutrition therapy to get better results?
Yes, that's one of the best combos we offer. Your trainer builds the workout plan, and our registered dietitian creates a nutrition strategy that supports your goals. Together, they help Lehigh Valley clients lose weight, build muscle, and feel great.
What happens in the very first private personal training session at FTF?
Your first session is a discovery and assessment. Your coach asks about your goals, health history, and any injuries. Then they run a movement screen and teach you a few foundational exercises. By the end, you'll have a clear starting point for your Lehigh Valley journey.
