Move Forward Gym is powered by CrossFit Mayhem's Affiliate Programming, thanks to Darren Hunsucker and the Mayhem Athlete Team. Members get a solid mix of daily workouts running Monday to Saturday, with optional cardio on Sundays. There’s a variety of tracks tailored for skill-specific goals. The highly experienced coaches at Move Forward Gym can tweak workouts to suit any ability thanks to their 5-Tier Workout Levels.
The gym is open seven days a week and hosts over 20 classes, plus open gym training within a 3,000 sq ft space. Equipped with a custom rig, lifting platforms, free weights, and a Hyperice and Normatec recovery zone, the gym encourages peak performance. In-house, there’s a sports therapist ready to assist members, enhancing their fitness results.
Post-workout, members can relax in the hang-out and workspace area equipped with a protein, drinks, and snacks bar. Memberships are affordable, ensuring no one is priced out of achieving their fitness goals. Classes accommodate all levels, with personal training available for those seeking a tailored approach. Smaller weights are also on hand to cater to diverse fitness requirements.
