About Us
Gym Equipment, Revolutionized
At Forged Fitness Equipment, getting you the best equipment for a fair price is not just a passion, it is an obsession. From the first time you find our brand to the first inquiry you send, the first piece of equipment you fall in love with, all the way through to the moment you pick it up, plus the many years after that you will use it for, we have one sole focus: providing you with an unparalleled experience.
It All Started with a Bowflex
During late 2020, with the world still in chaos from the lockdowns, founder Brendan Johnson, a recently graduated college athlete, needed some home gym equipment. After finding, fixing, and flipping a 20 year old Bowflex for 6x profit, it seemed there could be something to this resale market.
Shortly after that he had the opportunity to buy out a small crossfit gym and figured he would keep half, sell half, and then call it quits… well, that was the initial idea at least. After seeing the impact he was able to have on the community by providing affordable, secondhand equipment, the focus shifted from making a couple bucks to providing value to the neighborhood by offering everyone the opportunity to maintain their health through fitness.

How Do We Help the Community?
The beauty of what we do is two-fold. We help the community by:
- 1. Offering fairly priced, new gym equipment for any and all to purchase, enabling a broader group of people to start or continue their fitness journey.
- 2. Putting money back into the American economy. As a small business, we try to buy from other small businesses when we can. Our main supplier for gym equipment is headquartered in Michigan. Our only supplement supplier is headquartered out of St. Louis and all of their products are made in the U.S.A. We also work with major fitness brand based out of Kentucky, Texas, and California. Feel confident that when you buy from us, your dollars are in some way going directly to support your American economy.
