Hello! It's me! Coach Keith Lewis a NASM certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach and I have over a decade of experience coaching people of all shapes, sizes and abilities in a multitude of different formats including Indoor Cycling and Functional Training. I have had the privilege to Coach and manage a few different fitness studios in my career, most recently at PIVOT Lifestyle + Fitness by Kristin Armstrong in Boise, Idaho.
In May, my family made the tough decision to relocate back to the Pacific Northwest (where I grew up) for the health and overall wellness of my family as a whole, to pursue our dream of starting a small farm and my individual dream of opening my own indoor cycling and small group training studio. It was an incredibly hard decision to leave such a well cultivated, supportive community at PIVOT but I know with the experience I have gained over the last 13 years in fitness I am ready and well equipped to run my own fitness studio.
I have been spending the summer working hard on plans to get things up and running with a target timeline of opening in Sept / October 2024. A little bit about the studio and how you can help below.
Welcome to Forthright Fitness!
Longview’s Premiere Indoor Cycling and Small Group Training Studio offering performance cycling, functional training, and recovery programs for athletes of any level. Our mission is to inspire, enable, and empower our members to execute their health and fitness goals. We will strive to build an unmatched and inclusive community of support where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
What does Forthright mean?
Forthright: direct and outspoken; straightforward and honest. proceeding directly forward.
In life, in fitness, in habits and health there is no turning back. Our only option is to be better today to prepare for tomorrow...to proceed directly forward.
I am beyond excited to bring my expertise in health & fitness to the Longview / Kelso area through Forthright Fitness, the first and only performance cycling studio in the area. Forthright isn’t just your fitness is built on the tenets of honesty, transparency, encouragement, and respect. The “Forthright Fit Fam” is a close knit community of unmatched support where anyone and everyone fits in. My overall goal for Forthright Fitness is to be a destination: a home away from home for its members, not just another gym.
I have had the privilege of helping many people reach their goals in and out of the studio and now I am looking for help reaching my goal of opening Forthright Fitness. Your donation will help to start-up business operations, secure my lease, purchase equipment and purchase the software to get my studio up and running.
Any amount you are willing to donate will be a huge help!
For all of those that donate, your name will live on my welcome wall in the studio so that anyone who walks through my doors knows who specifically helped me achieve my dream. The larger your donation, the bigger and brighter the name will be on the wall.
As a bonus, anyone that donates any amount becomes an honorary member of “The Forthright Fit Fam” and will receive a Forthright Fit Fam bracelet (Earn that street cred), and is always welcome to free classes if you happen to be in town.
The first 15 people that donate $1,000 or more will have their name engraved and installed on one of the bikes in my cycling studio.
For those that donate over $2,000 I will send you a Forthright Fitness T-Shirt
Those that donate $4,000 or more will receive a Forthright Fitness Swag Bag.
Thank you in advance for your consideration to help me achieve my dream and to continue igniting my passion of building communities, inspiring, encouraging and coaching others through fitness with a creative, non-intimidating, fun, and thoughtful approach…What I love and live for.
