Iron Forge Fitness & Training

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym toward the end of February. Since then, I have always felt welcomed as part of a community. I have never stepped into a gym with such a warm feel and sense of belonging. Ever since joining, I've had both mental and physical gains. The workouts are different every day, and incredibly challenging, but there are options to scale back for every fitness level. The coaching staff is absolutely phenomenal. It feels like you're getting 1x1 personal training but in a group setting. I'd HIGHLY recommend this gym over any others.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and improve your physical body during the off season.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit is a whole new world for me. From doing at home workouts and group HIIT and strength classes at other gyms I was intimidated but this year I really wanted to push myself to the next level. I always used dumbells so barbell work was something new to me and I needed help getting started so Brandon, the owner, had recommended I sign up for the Foundations Course to get 4 one on one sessions with a skilled coach to help me learn the moves and become more comfortable doing them in class followed up with a shadow session in a full class to help me out. I just graduated my Foundation Training today, Coach Leah set me up for success by breaking down the 4 sessions so I was able to comprehend what I was learning, at the end of the session we would do a short workout practicing what we learned and she would coach me on form and motivate me to keep going. I'm so glad I signed up for this training to help equip me with the knowledge and skills to take on the full classes and have more confidence in myself. Thank you so much for offering such a great training and I can't wait to see what my future holds as a part of the Iron Forge family!

Fantastic experience: All the coaches are amazing. They will do whatever it takes to get you to succeed . I have bad knees and they were able to help me to do squat for the first time with no pain.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in for a “drop-in” session. Positive, high energy, and welcoming environment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having limited time to workout...check. Heavy travel schedule so you want to keep your gains....check. Combining cardio and resistance training...check. Having the workout curated to perfection so you are optimizing all function fitness and hypertrophy...check. My single concern was starting CrossFit "later in life" and wondering if my shoulders could take it! No worries...check. Thanks, Iron Forge Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at Iron Forge coming in as someone with zero experience and needing a lot of help to navigate my path. The 1:1 personal training has been very educational, empowering and successful so far. There are a lot of options to explore here aside from typical CrossFit classes including nutrition education and group challenges. I highly recommend reaching out to discuss what you are looking for in your journey and they’d be happy to provide options and resources.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Iron Forge for quite a while, in fact it is the gym that I have gone to longer than any other. I was hesitant to try CrossFit classes but the coaches and members made me feel way better by showing me how everything can be scaled. That coaching over the years has sharpened my form and technique so much! Lots of room and equipment to get accessory work and great personal training options as well.

The coaching staff is amazing, energetic and helps all levels of athletes. Best thing is being able to bring my kiddos when needed, doesn’t need be an excuse to not workout and they see a strong mom!

Fantastic experience: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” At Iron Forge, the community encourages and sharpens one another!

Fantastic experience: Top notch gym. Top notch coaches. Top notch community.

Fantastic experience: I am a volleyball player / athlete and I do strength and conditioning at my school but I go to IronForge in addition to this. I find that it is a great opportunity for young athletes to get in some additional training. I'm not a consistent crossfit athlete but whenever I go I still feel welcomed by everyone.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had nothing but great experiences here! I’ve been an athlete all throughout high school and always wanted to get in some extra training outside of practice. The coaches here have always been so open to me coming in and helping me find workouts that are perfect for me! I am not a crossfit expert but I have always been welcomed and encouraged to try new things and have fun!

Fantastic experience: The owner and staff at Iron Forge are not only knowledgeable, they've fostered a very rare environment where anyone, regardless of skill set, fitness level or anything else will feel welcomed and encouraged. Whether you're an experienced pro in the fitness world or brand new to that world, they'll find a way to challenge you and help accomplish things you never thought possible.

Fantastic experience: Such a supportive group. From the trainers to the other members, it's easy to want to work out and be surrounded by such positivity. All of the workouts can be modified for your skill level and they do a great job of ensuring that you're getting the best possible workout while maintaining form and helping to avoid injury!!

Fantastic experience: I found myself looking for a new gym that would challenge me in a healthy and motivating way. Iron Forge has filled the roll with highly skilled coaches that helped correct form and technique that other gyms let fall to the way side. Nutritional coaching offered by Iron Forge has also helped focus on my habits outside of the gym to help boost my overall energy and health.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and our community. All ages and all skills welcomed and accommodated for. Novice to advanced athletes, CrossFit experience or none. Tons of equipment for daily variety and for progressing through fitness journeys. Knowledgeable coaches work with you and your goals either through class, individual or small group - skills, nutrition, strength, endurance, goals, etc. Drop-ins always welcome for some fun too!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so welcoming and helpful! I was nervous to join a CrossFit gym, but all the coaches have been so helpful and encouraging. Would highly recommend for anyone at any fitness level!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for just over 3 years and I love it. Great community, welcoming, and great coaches. It’s been the best decision I’ve made to join this gym. From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable and had a community around me.

The community here is unlike anything else, making every day feel like a team effort towards better health and strength.

Being a member since 2019 and almost 40 years old, this gym has helped me become the strongest I’ve ever been, both physically and mentally. Love being able to start my day here with some of the best people I know.

Fantastic experience: Great environment and experience. Knowledgeable coaches and friendly community!! Definitely a place to go!

Fantastic experience: Being new to cross fit, I knew the Foundations Program was where I needed to start. Coach Holly was amazing! She made me feel at ease learning all I needed to know so that I was prepared to confidently take classes. Cannot recommend the Foundations Program enough! And once out of the Program and ready for class, you’ll find every coach at the gym patient and helpful. The entire gym treats you like family the moment you enter the doors!

Fantastic experience: Hands down a great gym, great people amazing trainers.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a little less than a year and the community and people have been amazing. The coaches are always there to help when you need something and all of the people are super welcoming and inclusive. It is an overall great environment.

Fantastic experience: My Son has been going here for strength training with Brandon for 3 months now. Brandon has a way of getting the boys to both work hard and have fun. My Son looks forward to going to every session. The facility is top notch with everything you could possibly need to transform your body. The staff is awesome. All are very friendly and approachable which is huge if you are new and have questions about what to do or how to do something. If you have ever thought about trying crossfit, or have a child looking to improve his or her strength and agility, I highly recommend you start your journey here!

Fantastic experience: We moved to Wisconsin last October from Arkansas, it was my girls first comp in the badger state , the gym is amazing, truly loved the warrior atmosphere #IGY6

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for a little over a month now- I had one-on-one sessions to get to know the lifts and the equipment which was great because I've never lifted before! I wanted to make a change in my life and this group of people are the ones who keep me accountable and motivated every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new:)

Fantastic experience: I've been with this gym from the old location in HWY N. They are great with many different levels of fitness. Positive atmosphere. Thank you Crossfit Fox Valley

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for 2+ years and it has always been a positive atmosphere. The coaches are helpful and the other members have been great. The workouts are always top notch too.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Fox Valley is my home away from home. I’ve been to many gyms and nothing will ever beat this place. The coaches, staff, Brandon the owner, the members…we are a family. A community. On days when I’m struggling through a workout, I get nothing but encouragement and that extra push I need to keep going. And the coaches KNOW THEIR SH*T! Always patient and ready to help, yet not in your face constantly like some other gyms I’ve tried. I’ve been with this gym for 8 years and have never even considered looking elsewhere since the day I walked in. Seriously you have to check it out! You will be warmly welcomed and if you’re nervous about trying CrossFit, rest assured you will have an army of people ready to cheer you on and watch you grow.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility with great coaches/people who care, and are willing to help. Was hesitant to join a CF gym, but would recommend CFFV to anybody.

Fantastic experience: Great place with great people!

Fantastic experience: This isn't really a "gym" its a fitness community bonded together by our love to rise above the impossible! The coaches are amazing, the people are uplifting and the workouts remind you of what you are capable of. I was so inspired by this community that I too become a coach!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym my husband and I have ever been to. From the moment we stepped in the doors, we felt so welcomed and supported. In just a short time the people at this gym became family. We are so sad to be leaving the area and our gym fam. We 1000% recommend this gym!!

Fantastic experience: I was in Appleton for a few days for work and after a quick Google search, I decided to drop in at Crossfit Fox Valley. This gym was awesome! Great workouts, super friendly staff and the members were just so nice and accommodating. I 100% recommend this gym and I'm so glad I got to workout here!

Fantastic experience: Words cannot describe this place and the community. Any age, any fitness level you are welcomed with open arms. The staff and coaches are rockstars!

Fantastic experience: I joined just a couple months ago and I am really loving how close knit the members are, how the coaches push you, but also encourage you to scale and listen to your body, and the overall, positive and energetic atmosphere of the gym.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Whether you are a die-hard fitness freak or a once a month fitness freak, this place is always welcoming. They don't care if you can lift 5 lbs or 500 lbs. They care about having a community that is welcoming and motivates you to be better. They encourage you during the workouts, help you understand the forms and best way to do the workouts, and always have options to fit your ability level so that you leave exhausted. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Hands down, best decision I made. Great facility and even greater people!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a great community and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the classes, coaches and community. The environment is super fun and the atmosphere is welcoming to athletes at any level!

Fantastic experience: Have you ever heard the saying the environment is sometimes just as important as the workout- this holds so true to CFVF. The staff, coaches and the people are truly amazing and welcoming. The passion that they hold for fitness and health is astounding. Don’t be afraid to walk through those doors- you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Great Atmosphere Great People

Fantastic experience: Good people, good environment.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Everyone is super friendly and inviting. The coaches take great care of their clients.

Fantastic experience: Great place, excellent training.

Fantastic experience: Big Impact rocks! I have been a member here for almost 4 years now. I like the smaller club experience as everyone gets to know each and it's like a family. The workouts vary daily so you don't feel like you are stuck in a rut and the instructors watch over to make sure your form is correct and answer any questions. There are occasional multi-week programs and special one day events to mix things up. I am probably in the best shape of my life, but still have goals I am reaching for. I also enjoy the wide variety of ages that come in - from teens to us more seasoned folks :-) They have programs for the kids too to get/keep them in shape and also offer sport specific workouts.

Positive experience: They are like a giant family. They are always there if you have a question or need a spot. The classes are fantastic and really get your ass in gear

Fantastic experience: Excellent people. Great classes

Fantastic experience: Good group class workouts. You will burn fat and get in shape going here.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and encouraging

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Taylor that runs the kickboxing class. Great paced workout. He stops to help if you need it but keeps everything moving. You're constantly working and learning new moves so the class goes quickly. Loved my experience!
