Building the Forge: A Private Gym That Sets the Standard

Some spaces grow with intention—every piece placed for a reason, every upgrade tied to a deeper purpose. That’s the story of Forge Fitness, a private personal training facility we’ve been honored to build alongside since 2016.

What began with a clean Hoist ROC-IT circuit has steadily evolved into one of Spokane’s premier private gyms. Over the years, we’ve helped Forge grow not just in equipment—but in vision, in experience, and in presence.

A Space Designed for Focused Training

Forge isn’t your typical gym. It’s trainer-access-only, which means every client who walks in is working one-on-one with a coach who knows their goals, their strengths, and how to get results. There’s no chaos, no crowds—just a focused environment built for progress.

The layout, the feel, and the flow of the space are all designed to support high-level coaching and personalized programming.

And the equipment? Every piece has been added intentionally—not to fill space, but to enhance the trainer-led experience.

The Newest Addition: Power Plate MY7

Recently, we introduced the Power Plate MY7 to Forge—a game-changing piece of technology that adds a new layer of performance and recovery to the gym’s offering.

With its vibration therapy platform, the MY7 supports:

  • Improved flexibility and range of motion

  • Faster recovery post-training

  • Increased muscle activation and circulation

In a space already centered around personalized wellness, the MY7 fits right in—elevating both the client experience and the overall training toolkit..

Why Private Gyms Are on the Rise

Forge Fitness is a perfect example of a trend we’re seeing across the industry: a growing demand for private, high-touch training environments.

Why? Because clients want:

  • More control over their environment

  • Better programming with fewer distractions

  • A personalized experience that feels intentional—not transactional

And as gym owners and trainers look to elevate their offerings, spaces like Forge are setting the tone for what’s possible when design, purpose, and service align.

A Partnership Built Over Time

It’s rare to watch a space grow from the ground up—and even more rare to stay part of that journey over nearly a decade.

We’re proud to continue supporting Forge Fitness as it evolves, expands, and leads in its lane. This facility reflects the kind of work we love to do: supporting fitness professionals who believe in building something truly their own—something high-quality, high-impact, and designed with care.
