I’ve been a member of this gym for a while now and have had the opportunity to watch it transform from PSTF into Forja Strength. I absolutely love this place! It’s a great gym with an amazing atmosphere. Recommend this gym to anyone.

Being a part of this gym since day one makes it incredible to see how far it has come. I’ve watched this place grow, change, and become a home for so many people in our community. Seeing it finally get the renovation and remodel it deserves is something special. This is more than just new equipment and a new…
Place is incredible. Dropped in today on a guest pass while traveling through town. Searched gyms nearby and this place stood out immediately.

This is by far the best gym I have ever encountered. They have every piece of equipment you could possibly need. The place is color coordinated in red and black and the equipment is of the best commercial quality. You can come in and train whenever you want. No time restrictions or holidays to worry about. The…

Being a part of this gym since day one makes it incredible to see how far it has come. I’ve watched this place grow, change, and become a home for so many people in our community. Seeing it finally get the renovation and remodel it deserves is something special. This is more than just new equipment and a new look—it’s the beginning of a new chapter for a place that has meant so much to so many of us. Proud to have been here from the beginning, and even more excited for what’s ahead. 💪🏼 The best is yet to come.
Angel, thank you, brother. This one means a lot coming from someone who has truly been here since day one. You haven’t just watched this place grow. You’ve played a huge part in helping it get to where it is today. Through some of the most challenging times, you consistently stepped up, went above and beyond, and helped keep this place moving forward when it mattered most. Your loyalty, work ethic, and commitment to the gym and everyone who walks through these doors do not go unnoticed. We’re incredibly grateful to have you as a trainer, teammate, and such an important part of the FORJA family. It’s been one hell of a journey already, but you’re absolutely right. We’re just getting started. The best is yet to come. 💪🏼🔥
Place is incredible. Dropped in today on a guest pass while traveling through town. Searched gyms nearby and this place stood out immediately. Reminded me a lot of my home gym in Austin, Los Campeones but better. World-class equipment, an incredibly functional layout, tons of additional amenities, and nearly private while I was there. The team made the experience even better. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, and they went out of their way to give a bunch of great recommendations for places to check out while in Palm Springs. Huge shoutout to Brandon. Made us feel right at home. If I lived in Palm Springs, I’d be a member without hesitation. Will absolutely be back next time I’m in town.
Joe, first off, apologies for the late response! As you know, we had a little bit of a journey getting our Google Business page sorted out, but we finally got everything settled and are catching up. Thank you so much for such an incredible review. It was an absolute pleasure having you guys in, and hearing you compare FORJA to a gym like Los Campeones is a huge compliment. We’ve put a tremendous amount of work into the equipment, layout, and overall experience, so it means a lot when someone who appreciates a great training environment recognizes those details. More than anything, we’re glad we could make you feel at home while you were in Palm Springs. That’s exactly the kind of experience we want people to have when they walk through our doors. We truly appreciate the support, Joe. Hopefully you enjoyed some of those Palm Springs recommendations, and we’ll absolutely be looking forward to seeing you the next time you’re back in town. You’ve always got a place to train here! 💪🏼
This is by far the best gym I have ever encountered. They have every piece of equipment you could possibly need. The place is color coordinated in red and black and the equipment is of the best commercial quality. You can come in and train whenever you want. No time restrictions or holidays to worry about. The gym is not crowded at all. Never have to wait for something and you are able to superset. My only regret is not finding it sooner.
Trevor, thank you so much for the incredible review! Hearing you call FORJA the best gym you’ve encountered is a huge compliment and means a lot to our entire team. We’ve put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into everything from the equipment selection and layout to the 24 hour access and overall training environment. Our goal has always been to give people the freedom and tools to train the way they want without fighting crowds or waiting around for equipment. We’re just glad you found us! Better late than never. 😂 We truly appreciate your support, Trevor, and we’re happy to have you as part of the FORJA community. See you in the gym! 💪🏼🔥
Working with Brandon is a game changer for me! He has been incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. Brandon has tailored every workout to my needs and make me feel completely at ease. I’ve gained so much strength and confidence, and I always leave feeling proud of what my body can do! The other trainers there are very friendly and fun, even if I am feeling lazy I still want to go because of the whole atmosphere. I really appreciate all of you, thank you.
I've trained at several gyms in the Palm Springs area, and Palm Springs Training Facility is by far the best experience I've had. The gym is clean, elevated, well-maintained, and filled with genuinely kind and respectful people. The atmosphere is completely different from other gyms I've tried. In the past, I would go in, get my workout done, and leave. Here, I actually look forward to being at the gym. The environment motivates me to stay longer, work harder, and keep pushing myself. A huge part of my progress is thanks to Megan, who has been an outstanding trainer. She is the absolute form queen. Her attention to technique, movement, and proper forms gets results you can see. Because of her coaching, I can now confidently barbell squat without a rack, something I never thought I'd be able to do. She has helped me build strength and confidence The results speak for themselves. I've seen significant physical improvements since training here, and I credit much of that to the coaching, culture, and the equipment of this place. If you're looking for the best gym in Palm Springs, this is it.
The facility is great. It is clean, well-equipped, organized, and has a welcoming atmosphere. It feels like a place where people are focused, motivated, and there for the right reasons.Megan brings the perfect balance of professionalism, encouragement, and accountability. She pushes me when I need it, corrects me when my form starts getting creative, and somehow makes hard workouts feel manageable. I highly recommend Megan and the facility to anyone looking for a trainer and gym environment that are supportive, professional, and genuinely focused on progress.
I’ve been here since the gym first opened, and it’s been amazing to watch it grow into what it is today. The environment is what really stands out. There’s a strong sense of community, people support each other, and you can feel that energy as soon as you walk in. It makes a big difference in how consistent and motivated clients are. The location is also a huge plus. Being right up against the mountains in Palm Springs with the doors open and natural light coming in creates a really unique training atmosphere. The equipment is high quality, and there’s a good mix of training options, including boxing, which adds a lot of variety. Overall, it’s a great place to train, grow, and be around people who take their fitness seriously.
