“Best gym in the Lehigh Valley, hands down. Customized programming, tailored to the athlete, and designed for scalable and sustainable improvement. A welcoming community fueled by its coaches and members who live to lift each other up.”

“This place has been life changing for me in so many positive ways! I'm stronger and healthier now at almost 50 years old than I've ever been, physically and mentally. The support of coaches and members is like nowhere else. I consider the people here more than friends — they are family. And I love that I get to work out every day with my husband and son.”

“I have been a member at many gyms. This is by far the best gym I have been to if you are looking for results and are serious about your fitness journey. The trainers are excellent and in excellent condition — you know you're learning from people who know how to get into elite shape. The training is very personalized and there is a sense of community at the gym. They have excellent routines pre-made and teach proper form for the workouts.”

“If you're looking for a place where people WON'T judge you for how you look, how much you're lifting or give you looks to make you feel uncomfortable, THEN THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!! I've been coming to this place for about 2½ years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The coaches make you feel welcomed! Everyone treats each other like family! Everyone pushes each other to be better and to do better than their last lift!”

“This is the absolute best gym! I started doing private coaching a year ago and it helped my mind, body and soul! I wouldn't have been able to get through this past year without the help and support of all the coaches and members of this gym. This is truly a family.”

“I walked into this gym not knowing what to expect or anything about lifting. Each time I leave, I leave with more knowledge thanks to the coaches. The people who come here create one of the best communities in the Lehigh Valley and every year Rob kills it with the quality of his and the coaches' coaching. 1000000/10 recommend.”

“One of the best facilities in the Lehigh Valley for personal, hands on training. The coaches are knowledgeable and helpful for all skill levels. They scale workouts when needed and push you to reach your full potential when you need a little shove. They emphasize stability and mobility on top of strength which is really great for an overall solid lifting foundation. The programming is well thought out and calculated, helping you get a little better every week.”

“Amazing place and newly renovated! Very clean and appealing look inside. I've been a member for quite a while and am so thankful for this space to grow physically and mentally. Hard to be in a bad mood when you leave — I always leave with a clearer mind and boost in confidence. All ages and fitness levels welcome — it can be tailored to anyone! Don't be intimidated to come in and give it a try — you won't regret it!”

“I've been to a couple of group training gyms prior to coming to F13. This is the best one I've been to. The trainers are amazing! Payton was extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. He's always keeping an eye on all of us to make sure we are doing everything safely and effectively. He's extremely motivating and helps you push past your limits. He holds me accountable and always makes sure I'm coming back. It makes me feel like he genuinely cares about my fitness and making sure I achieve my goals.”

“Just wanted to say how IMPRESSED I was with this gym!! From the first time I inquired about a drop in pass to my last day there, the communication was excellent. The facility was incredible — it had everything you could ever wish for. I also want to say how AMAZING Coach Payton was. He was SO welcoming and accommodating. I've never been treated so well as a guest in a gym before. He seriously made my visit the best I've ever had at a gym.”
