Dear Forte Friends, 

In case you did not see our email:

Over the last several months, we have been proud to continue to introduce changes to Forte which will benefit everyone.  The Intramural Open and Force for Families was awesome – we saw many members push themselves to new limits and skills, we expanded Open Gym hours, and continue to work on polishing upgrading our facilities.  In addition, our new Coaches’ Education work will mean a better experience for everyone.  Besides Katelyn completing BirthFit, we have coaches working on their Catalyst Athletics Level 1 & 2 Weightlifting Certificates, CrossFit Competitors Course, CrossFit Masters Course, and CrossFit Level 3 Certification (as a reminder, we are still the only gym in TN with multiple Level 3 Coaches).  We are also thrilled to announce we were able to negotiate the lease on our current location through 2021!

 At Forte, we teach consistency.  Every Wall-Ball is done to below parallel; every class starts on time; we can say our fitness is improving because we test using consistent metrics.  Until this point, we’ve had only one glaring inconsistency, but now we are remedying that.  We are proud to say there is no chance anyone in your group will receive the same excellent service for less money than you pay.  This has been a point of embarrassment for us in the past: that two highly-valued members of our community can derive the same fitness—and joy—from a class and pay two different fees.

 Effective May 1, all members will be brought to our 2017/2018 rate of $179/ unlimited or $149/ 3 days a week per month.  Since we love you all, we’ll also cease “special case” discounts on that date.

If you believe this places a surprise burden on your budget, you may prepay for up to 2 months in advance at your current rate.  This payment is due before May 1.

If you believe that your case warrants a different arrangement from everyone else in the gym, you can email me directly at [email protected]

We are very excited for the coming months!  Spring seems to finally be here, which means warm weather. Nashville is hosting the CrossFit Games Regionals again this year, and we have already had conversations with some of the elite athletes who are looking to train with us before the event takes off.  Additionally, we have been piloting a new nutrition program which we plan to launch fully this summer.  If you were unaware, one of our new members, Pryor, is a contestant on The Voice this season.  Check him out and be sure to show him your Nashville/ Forte love by voting for him throughout the season.  Also, in case you missed it, meal train links for the new parents at our gym can be found here.  

Thank you for allowing us be your coaches.  We are honored to be a part of your health and wellness endeavors and look forward to your continued growth!

Lastly, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve our services, please let me know. We value your feedback. We’re always asking ourselves, “How can we do it better?”

Thanks you!
