The Forge Strength Gym is a gym designed for people who have goals and enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of meeting those goals. We do not have cliques or clubs and everyone is treated equally regardless of how far along they are on their fitness journey! we built the gym with two things in mind, free weights and community. Every athlete knows that atmosphere contributes to success and having the right equipment and people who bring the best out of each other is the key!

The Forge is founded on three basic principles. Passion, integrity and respect! Passion is having a heart for creating a gym that is built on a culture that loves the iron game. It also means that no one is just a number. They are part of our community. Integrity means that all of our rules and policies are based on the mission we have towards our members. At The Forge, we believe that people are our business and that everyone should be treated as an individual. Respect is simply treating others as you would like to be treated. All we ask of our members is to show the same respect they receive from us to those around them. In doing so, we truly believe that is what makes us Kansas City’s best damn gym!

Welcome to The Forge!

Yesterday, @jimdiesel99 made a post about the members of @the_forge_strength_gym and their role as the backbone of the Forge community. The part that Jim left out because he is too humble is that the owners of the Forge are also part of the backbone. Here he is expressing his excitement for my successful bench attempt. He traveled all the way to Topeka, KS with @t_jarviss@vanessa_pitbull_torres and @metalprincess92 to show his support for his members who were competing. I’ve never been at the Forge when I didn’t see Jim personally greet, by name, every member who walks in the door. You don’t have to be a competitive power lifter, bodybuilder, strongman, or OLY lifter to train at the Forge. Every member who walks in is treated the same. The only thing you’re not allowed to be is mediocre. So, if you just want to get fit and be healthy, then come in with the intention of being as fit and healthy as you can possibly be. Jim, Tammy, Kevin, and the rest of the members will be there to push you and help you reach your goals. Thanks for your support this weekend and helping me prep for this meet, Jim.
