Forza Wellness

I am very pleased with my training at Forza Wellness. The gym is conveniently located and attractive. All of the trainers are friendly and welcoming. My trainer, EJ, has helped me improve my physical wellbeing.

I've been going to Forza for over a year now and have to say, this place is great, their new location is awesome, and Dave has a great positive energy that's downright contagious, plus he's super knowledgeable on fitness, diet, and massage. Whether you're looking to adjust your diet and fitness plan, or just need a massage, I'd say Forza is the place to go in Philly.

I never gained much from physical therapy where the therapists tend to dart from one client to another and often don't tailor the program for individual needs. My medical internist strongly recommend that I go to EJ at Forza, and I have been doing so for about four months. I couldn't be happier. He is skilled, caring, highly aware of what my needs and physical limitations are. And he's tons of fun.

I have trained with Davide at Forza Wellness twice-weekly for over four years. Consequently, he has become my life coach, wellness guru, and an all-round positive energy source. Before meeting Dave, my gym sessions were casual, unstructured, and without results. Davide is professional, fun, and fully invested in your general well-being. Plus, the new location at Walnut Street has more space, extra equipment, and facilities. It's been a super positive experience for myself, and I plan to continue the journey with the Forza Wellness team as they go from strength to strength. FYI – This is not a paid endorsement, just a happy customer enjoying the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

I was 52 years old recovering from knee surgery and 20 pounds overweight. I was not unfamiliar with the gym, cardio and strength training were part of my daily routine. I needed to do something different because I was not moving the needle and as the aging process started to settle in, I was becoming more prone to injury. I started working with Davide 12 months ago and it has been life changing. Davide’s vast knowledge of the nutrition and fitness space has proven to be invaluable. My workouts have been turned upside down, less time in the gym and an increase in intensity. He is a bulldog about nutrition and is very clear about the choices that you make and the impact on your health. His purposeful approach, ability to get to know you both from a health/fitness perspective and personally and his sense of humor are all part of a winning formula. Now at 53, I am down approximately 15 pounds and my overall health is better than it has ever been. I work out with Davide approximately 2 times per month (I do not live or work in the city). Our sessions are intense, he is fully engaged and makes you feel like you are his only client. My cardio endurance is stronger now vs. twenty years ago. Additionally, during my last physical in November my overall cholesterol was the lowest it has ever been and according to my doctor I have the blood pressure of a high school student! Davide is the accountability that I desperately needed, and I have reached a point where if I do not connect at least 2x per month it psychologically impacts my willingness to continue to pursue a step change improvement in my health. Davide is a critical part in making that happen.

Made an appointment for a 90 minute massage. The company was very accommodating to my busy schedule and found a way to make it work. The therapist was a good listener and kept an open dialogue throughout our session. The technique was excellent. The facility was clean and very professional. I'm so happy I made an appointment. I highly recommend Forza Wellness and I will be back for another session.

The facilities are first-rate for my training needs. Jonathan Williams is an extraordinary trainer; I've been with him for close onto three years. He knows the body backwards and forwards and is able to fit routines and exercises precisely to my needs. For instance, he has brought about astounding improvements in my posture, walking, and balance, and in my core health.

Carla Waldron is an amazing trainer and I recommend her wholeheartedly. There are 3 reasons for this. First, she is creative. She will organize a session in a way where you are trying novel, unexpected movements and exercises that will both surprise you and have you doing more than you thought you were capable of without the dread of “i can’t lift that” mindset. Second she is encouraging in a way that is thoughtful, genuine and not overbearing. Finally she is a master at customizing sessions to your strengths and weaknesses. Honestly you don’t realize what you have accomplished until after the session is over. I wholeheartedly recommend her as the best trainer that I have every worked with.

I really enjoy this gym. The space is great for personalized training. The people are friendly and everyone seems to enjoy what they’re doing. I specially like my trainer Jonathan. He’s very professional, explains everything we are doing and encourages me throughout the work out. I highly recommend Forza.

I am pleased with the results I have experienced since beginning the program in July 2019. I wanted to find a way to strengthen my leg, caused by a pinched nerve, without surgery. Through the expert advice and guidance from my trainer E.J. Becker, not only is my leg stronger but my overall health has been enhanced. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and encouraging. The one to one program works well for me, however, there are other programs offered that may match your fitness goals. The gym is well maintained and thoughtfully designed with a variety of equipment. This has been one of the best decisions I have made to improve my health. Thank you!!
