Ive been a member of Força since October 2015 after attending the womens self defense seminar. Let me tell you, I was shocked/amazed at what I was able to learn at the hour long seminar and wanted to keep learning all I could!Força has such a great selection of classes -- whether you want to get in shape or learn the sport of martial arts. There is something for absolutely everyone!Brian and Cora truly have a heart for the community and want to change the lives of everyone they come in contact with! And thats why I believe they are running a 5 star business.Love my Força family:))

Even before I knew who Brian was, Id seen him at competitions and such, he was very easy to approach. My experiences with the people at Força have been great. Im a student at a different gym, but I was warmly welcomed when I came through the door. Brian had an accepting attitude and the rest of the gym folks were easy to get along with too.I encourage anyone in the area who maybe on the fence about starting their journey, go to Força. You will not be disappointed. Youll come to learn what an extended family feels like. As a byproduct of training youll learn basic anatomy and nutrition too!Great people, great life skills. Please, do yourself a favor.

Ive only been there a few months and everyone has been so welcoming! I do the fitness classes at the moment and the other students are all so helpful. I LOVE that they teach the kids sportsmanship and respect, and they do it gently but firmly. The other students adults and kids alike really love the coaches there, and once you attend you will see why! Try the classes out!

Brian and Cora make it comfortable for self conscious people, they encourage you to work hard and inspire you to be a better you. I absolutely hate gyms and have drug my feet to go to one I paid for a membership at planet fitness for a year and did not go one single time! At Forca I go every morning to the fitness kickboxing and boot camp classes a long with evening kickboxing. You seriously cant get enough!

Forća is not only a gym, they are a family. They welcome every person that comes into their facility and make you feel like family. They strive to do their very best for each and every person. I recommend them to any one who is interested in losing weight, working out, learning a new thing or even learning self defense. They will make you welcome.

Omg! I cannot say enough about this gym. The owners Cora and Brian are amazing. They really treat you like family and honestly care about you and your goals.! No matter your fitness level they are awesome!

There are few businesses (and gyms) that push their community to new limits both mentally and physically. Brian and Cora are pillars in a tough community. I can testify their programs have played a pivotal role in the lives of multiple students from the local schools - providing structure, growth, and responsibility.If you are thinking of joining a gym stop by and check this place out. The genuine atmosphere paired with a professional down to earth attitude will draw you back.

Força is a great family friendly gym. Heck, my Força friends are like my family. I have lost 15 pounds doing fitness kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu. Losing weight while having fun is the BEST! Cora and Brian are the most genuine people you will ever meet.

Forca has helped me in so many ways, with confidence being #1. All my life I have never felt as if I was athletic, and because of Forca that is changing. I have wanted to quit many times, but the owners make it hard to do so because of their positivity and encouragement. They inspire me to keep working and to keep trying. The atmosphere is awesome, and the people are like family. Great place for ALL ages and ALL body types. Im so thankful that there is a place like this in Russellville.

I started working out at Forca to satisfy the cross-training component in my half-marathon training schedule. I love the 5:30 am Fitness Kickboxing and Boot Camp workouts. After just one week, I noticed a difference in my energy level and felt stronger during my long runs. The people at Forca are what make this gym great. I felt welcome and at home on day one. The owner/instructors, Brian and Cora, are knowledgeable, supportive, and fun!

I have three boys ages 3, 5, and 11 who not only attend, but love Forca. Each child attends classes designed for their ages, abilities and interest. The instructors are amazing with the children, acting not only as teachers, but role models. I could not be happier with Forca and recommend it to anyone whos looking for an activity to enhance their childs attention, self confidence, respect for others, physical abilities, etc.

An incredible atmosphere and culture, FORÇA brings such a positive vibe to helping people achieve their goals. Ive personally loved learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, along with a few others like Judo! They offer a wide variety of classes and do so in mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Something for everyone for sure. If interested I would definitely encourage you to drop by and try a few classes out. Youll be glad you did. I know I am!

I walked into Forca for my first class an overweight scrub with no athletic ability. While other places would have seen me and rolled their eyes while taking my money, Brian and Cora were very keen on helping me reach my fitness and health goals. Not only are both very professional and knowledgable of their business, you can tell they actually care about the Forca members. They both push, hard, and share in the glory of victory while also pushing through the dregs of defeat. Amazing coaches and friends.

My entire family attends Forca and we all love it! My husband and I have had a great time in the Kickboxing classes, and both of my children (daughter age 12, son age 9) enjoy the kids MMA class. My daughter also takes the BJJ class and absolutely loves it. I love that she is learning ways to defend herself and also developing a new confidence in herself.The staff is incredible. The owners, Cora Sanders and Brian Wilson, are amazing. They not only have a great deal of knowledge about martial arts, they have a zeal for it! The additional instructors are super helpful and are always willing to give advice or to assist you in perfecting your technique.This gym is able to provide both a warm and inviting atmosphere, and a family friendly environment. They promote unity within the ranks inside the gym and out in the community.In short, Forca is an asset to Russellville and to all who train there. If youre looking for a gym that will keep you accountable, teach you valuable defense skills, and help you shed some weight, all while being FUN, look no further!

Im a mother of two great children. Im 34 years of age. I wanted to start a healthy lifestyle. Two years ago I wanted to join this gym but I was nervous about so many things. Well Im hear to tell you that was a mistake and fear is the biggest liar! Joining Forca has been such a positive change in my life! Ive dropped 10 pounds in 3 months with a smile on my face. I wake up early hours of the AM excited to go to Forca. The people are extremely friendly and the owners are young vibrant leaders sharing a passion for fitness! Im happy to call Forca my gym and excited to grow and learn about myself and reaching my personal goals. Thanks Forca!

I found Forca about three years ago after visiting a few other facilities in the area looking to enroll my son and daughter, both seven at the time. I knew right away that it was the right place for us. The open and welcoming atmosphere was immediately apparent in both the instruction and training in progress as well as in the friendly attitudes of staff and members alike. Fast forward, and my kids are now orange belts, and its easy to recognize in them the self confidence, physical development, and body control that they have gained through Forca.People use the word family a lot when discussing their experience at Forca, and its an apt term. Members of all ages and skill levels feel welcome and motivated at Forca precisely because of the family atmosphere fostered by owners and head coaches Brian and Cora Wilson. Both are dedicated, focused, and compassionate people, and both are superb role models for the young and the not-so-young and every age in-between.And now, with their new facilities, the best martial arts school and gym in the River Valley just got even better. Easy five stars. Forca is where its at.

FORCA Martial Arts is a second home to my 10 year old son. For several years my son was interested in trying martial arts and after asking around, we landed at FORCA- best decision we could have made. Brian Wilson and Cora Sanders are not only competent competitors themselves, they are amazing mentors and instructors for their students of all ages and skill levels.My son trains in mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, weapons and boxing and recently joined the Demo Team. His training has helped him to learn the importance of setting goals, respect not only for others, but for himself and helped with his confidence level. He is learning much more than martial arts, he is learning a way of life.The students support one another to be the best they possibly can, while at the same time understanding they are competitors to one another and a team at the same time. They take pride in representing FORCA- whether at the gym, at tournaments or in the community. Recently my son commented that FORCA felt like his extended family. Im so happy we decided to become part of the FORCA family!
