Blown away by Forte. Huge space, brand new equipment + amazing recovery section w/infrared sauna and cold plunge. Apostoli is one of the most knowledgeable trainers I’ve met. Amazing classes. Everyone is really welcoming. Extremely affordable monthly promos too. Easily Astoria’s best gym. Highly recommend!
Absolutely love this gym. The classes are truly the best I’ve ever taken, and the trainers are incredible — knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. I went here for months before moving out of NY, and nothing else compares!
Forte is such a welcoming space, and the entire team is fantastic — especially Despina. I love the stretch classes with Tatiana, and I’ve heard great things about their personal trainers as well. The gym is spotless, spacious, and has great extras like a sauna and cold plunge. Couldn’t recommend it more.
The best gym in the area! I love everything about Forte Lab. They have all different types of classes that are fun, challenging and engaging. The instructors and owners are incredibly personable and motivating. It truly feels like family in there. I always enjoy my workouts and look forward to the next one. Thank you guys!!
The absolute best gym in Astoria. Beautiful aesthetic, clean, incredible classes and uplifting atmosphere. The unlimited class package allows you to choose the classes you want to take so it is great for all levels of fitness. I have enjoyed all of the instructors I have taken class with so far. They are motivating, personable, and professional. Forte also offers personal training and open gym hours. They also have a sauna, a cold plunge, and assisted stretch sessions for recovery. The owner, Despina, is extremely kind and welcoming. Thank you to Kalliope for the tour and getting me signed up and settled. I am so happy I joined Forte and I highly recommend this gym!

Absolutely love forte!! I’ve gone back and forth with orange theory memberships for 10~ years and forte has been the first studio I’ve been able to stick to/get into a routine with since leaving orange theory. I’ve gotten so much stronger these past few months with their classes and the instructors and members are all really so nice and welcoming!
Forte Lab is top-notch! The facilities are clean, the equipment is well-maintained, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The highlight for me was definitely the sauna absolutely dope and the perfect way to recover after a workout. Highly recommend this place to anyone serious about fitness and wellness!
What an amazing gym! Awesome coaches. Great vibe. Reasonable prices. Welcoming environment. Highly recommend. My favorite class is Tuesday 5:30 pm with Maria! Killer workout!
I can't say enough good things about this gym. The energy is super nice, and I always leave feeling great. Coaches Tati and Sarah, are amazing. Both so patient and kind in their classes. Love to have this place in the neighborhood. I wanna go back for the cold plunge! 🤩
Forte Lab is the most amazing gym in the neighborhood to go to. First class trainers. Weather is stretching, training, lifting weights, boxing. It has everything you can think of and want in a gym, including sauna and cold plunge. I love it here because everyone is treated like family. A must try!
Fantastic Experience - Looking forward to my next class ! 🌟
I can't say enough good things about Forte Lab! From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff that truly makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is strong and energetic, creating a perfect backdrop for building not just your body but relationships within the community.
Forte Lab offers an impressive range of services beyond just typical gym offerings. They have dedicated spaces for stretching, a sauna, and even a cold plunge for recovery, which are fantastic for post-workout rejuvenation. Whether you're a beginner just starting your fitness journey or someone looking to push your limits to the max, this gym has something to cater to everyone's needs.
What I particularly love are their unique classes focused on Hyrox training, as well as the run club. It’s inspiring to participate in events that resonate nationally, bringing the community together while promoting health and wellness.
If you're in Astoria and looking for a gym that excels not only in facilities and offerings but also fosters a real sense of community among people of all backgrounds, look no further than Forte Lab! Highly recommend! 💪🏽
The gym was very clean and the staff was extremely kind, warm and friendly. I took the stretch class and the instructor was wonderful. She made everyone feel good and was both physically and mentally. I even tried the cold plunge. Definitely scary at first but Despina calmly guided me through the experience and I left there feeling revived, rejuvenated and it took away so much of my inflammation and pain. Great gym!
I visited Forte as part of a 1-week trial and I loved it! The facility is spacious and clean with ample equipment and a variety of classes. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. I have been doing HIIT-style training for over 10 years, and I have to say each class humbled me in some way. The owners are also very accommodating...I came in with a friend for a drop-in class, and Despina offered me the whole week with the same price. When I mentioned wanting to try a class past the trial period, she offered to extend it. Overall a great experience and highly recommend! I'll be back! :)
