At Forte, strength is at the heart of everything we do. Inspired by the French word forte, meaning “strong,” we are a women’s wellness sanctuary designed to help you embody strength in all its forms—physical, mental, and emotional.

Our newest location is opening soon in Lakewood, OH, and features a slightly different concept: this space is exclusively for women. Forte is an all-encompassing wellness studio offering a diverse collection of sculpting, stretching, and sweaty movement options. Each class is designed to empower you to move intuitively and authentically, aligning your practice with your personal cycle or even the moon cycle for a more aligned and friction-free life. Check our class descriptions for suggestions on the best classes for your rhythm.

We also host weekly classes and unique offerings, like sound baths, self-defense classes, prenatal classes, and more, so there’s always something new to explore. Forte is part of the Yoga Strong Studios family, and your membership or package can be used at any of our three locations. Booking is simple through the Yoga Strong Studios app, where you can easily toggle between schedules and events for all locations.

Location and Parking
Parking is convenient, with street parking available around the studio, a connected back lot with limited spaces, and a free public parking lot just half a block away near the Lakewood Library (Madison Branch), across from Mahall’s.

Important Notes

  • We do not accept drop-ins or cash at this location. Please book your class in advance through our app or website. If space allows, you can book onsite using your own device.

  • Please bring your own workout mat and water for all classes.

At Forte, strength isn’t just about building muscles—it’s about cultivating resilience, confidence, and balance. Welcome to Forte, where your strength becomes your sanctuary.
