Transformative Experience at Forest Vance Training

From the moment I stepped into Forest Vance Training, I knew my fitness journey was about to take a remarkable turn. Founded by the esteemed former pro football player and master trainer, Forest Vance, this training center is not just a gym—it’s a sanctuary where transformations are crafted and lives are changed.

Personalized Kettlebell Mastery

Under the expert guidance of Forest Vance, I embarked on a kettlebell training program that was nothing short of revolutionary. The kettlebell, an unassuming piece of equipment, became my tool for metamorphosis. The benefits of kettlebell training are well-documented, from full-body strength conditioning to explosive power development12. At Forest Vance Training, these benefits were fully realized. Each swing, snatch, and press translated into a stronger, more resilient version of myself.

Empowering Personal Training

The personal training sessions at Forest Vance Training are unparalleled. With a focus on individuals aged 40 and up, the programs are tailored to promote fat loss, enhance strength, and improve overall fitness3. Forest’s approach is unique; he combines his extensive knowledge with a genuine passion for helping others achieve their best selves. His patience and ability to break down complex movements made the learning process both enjoyable and effective.

Life-Altering Impact

Since beginning my journey at Forest Vance Training, my life has been irrevocably altered for the better. I’ve gained not only physical strength but also a newfound confidence that permeates every aspect of my life. The camaraderie and support from the staff and fellow trainees have been instrumental in my transformation. It’s a community that celebrates every milestone, no matter how small.

Honesty as a Cornerstone

A particular instance that speaks volumes about the integrity of Forest Vance Training involved a financial transaction. I had inadvertently overpaid by $100, and without hesitation, Forest was on top of the situation. His prompt and honest action to return the overpayment in full was a testament to the ethical standards upheld at the center.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Forest Vance Training is more than just a training center—it’s a beacon of hope for anyone looking to redefine their physical capabilities and enrich their life. I am a testament to the life-changing power of Forest’s training philosophy. My strength gains are a mere reflection of the inner strength I’ve developed, and I can confidently say that my life will never be the same without Forest Vance Training. It’s not just a gym; it’s a pivotal chapter in my story of growth.

What an overall positive experience!

The programs are top notch as are the trainers. They really put the time in to working with you to meet your fitness goals. From the in-house workouts to the ancillary home workouts, the personal follow ups from both the staff and the owner himself, you really felt a genuine personal touch and like a product.

Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned hand, I would highly recommend giving these guys a shot. You will not be disappointed

I was looking for a challenge and variety in my workouts. This place offers that and much more! I look forward to the high intensity workouts and feel great afterwards. Forest and the staff are personable and motivating. They'll help you achieve whatever fitness goals you have and then push you further. Who knows, maybe I'll train for a Spartan race next year with them!

Forest & his wife and trainers are AWESOME! I was coerced into joining their 30 day rapid fat loss bootcamp program by my friend Carolyn, at the last minute, and SO glad I did! Yes, it can be brutal, Yes, I was on a strict 1200 calorie/day meal plan, but the results have been amazing! In 30 days, I dropped nearly 12lbs, but cheated a couple days and ended up -10lbs at the end of the 30 day challenge, and lost 2 inches in waist, nearly 3% body fat, and several inches in legs and chest as well. It's a fun but productive environment, everyone in the classes are good people, the music is good, and it's 3 blocks from where I live in Land Park!
I highly recommend Forest's classes and camps, and you WILL see results, but it is up to YOU, he's there to provide the info and sends out some amazing emails and videos along with positive energy, to say the least!
DO IT.
(UPDATE: I have dropped 20+ lbs and BMI% down to 13.5% from 22.5%. I attend bootcamp 5x a week for 45mins each session. Amazing workouts!

I moved here to Sacramento from Canada about 2 1/2 yrs ago. I spent the first 3 months visiting personal trainers, small group training, garage gyms, yoga studios... you name it. I was searching for a place where when I walked in the feeling was - Yep, this is where I belong. I came from a pretty hardcore Kettlebells studio where technique was master and the words "I can't do this" were met by words of encouragement from the whole class and the the whole class would do whatever you thought you couldn't do with you; we were also friends outside the studio - we'd meet for dinner, go see bands, do community work etc.
I found that friendship, community spirit, relaxed but "Get ready to leave everything you have on the floor" attitude, great music (sometimes :-)) and best of all - a trainer who is extremely well educated and has the degrees to prove it, keeps current with all new techniques and science, has a wonderful personality and sense of humour, who know not only fitness but NUTRITION.
The staff Forest and his wife have brought together come from different backgrounds, all have their own (relate-able) stories, positive energy, the educational background and the desire to be there and to get you to your best level.
You have to show up and give it EVERYTHING you have and if you do - you're gonna love it. This will be the best 45 mins of your day.

It’s a very expensive body weight training program. If you want more than just body weigh training, you will have to pay more. I was paying over $160/mo to train only two times per week. With a 3mo commitment. Not worth it. Coaches were cool though.
