We had the good fortune of connecting with Kevin Forbes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kevin, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Engaging not only the body but also the mind and the spirit and creating a community of members that is more than just about physical fitness but about health and wellness.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
REVFIT was created for the physical, mental and spiritual health of people needing to find themselves again. It was born out of the belief that people need to be around like-minded people to be healthy, a “revival” after the past few years of challenges that we have all faced. We designed the room to be dark, we designed it with no mirrors, we designed it with the intention that people could check out of their day and focus solely on themselves and not compare themselves to everyone and everything around them.

As far as the fitness, we are more of a program versus just a workout. We have a “WHY” behind “WHAT” we do. I program for the entire year to build on itself so every 4-10 weeks there will be some sort of program change (called periodization) so our members never plateau. We also sit down with every single member to discuss a road map to wherever they want to go! They are not just a number but a person with goals, drive, and ambition that may be different from someone else’s — we cater to all!

My belief is if you put strength first, everything else will come. If you want to lose fat? Focus on strength. Want to gain some muscle? Focus on strength. Want to live a healthier, more active, pain-free life? Focus on strength. When we do so, not only does our body become stronger, healthier, leaner, and more functional but our mind does also.

Starting a business from scratch is not easy, especially starting a fitness studio at the end of COVID, ha! We learned many lessons but the one that has stuck with us the most is: if you put people first, have a gracious heart, and get 1% better every day, you will always succeed.

REVFIT is about community, it’s about lifting others up, it’s about helping people find stronger versions of themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. I cannot put into words the experience you will find here at REVFIT, because for each it is so different — you just have to come find out yourself!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh this one is easy, I’ll start with a perfect day: I would start by taking them to a REVFIT session of course! Then to Press Cafe for breakfast, take them down to Magnolia to walk around, shop and get some BBQ at Heim. Later that night we would get ready, put on our best boots and head to the Stockyards! Maybe hit up the rodeo and end at Billy Bob’s for some two steppin.’

If it were a week? We would have to check out:
-the Zoo because who doesn’t like animals
-the piano bar in downtown Fort Worth as it was the first place I ever went when I visited years ago
-Woodshed for some live music and drinks
-The new Truck Yard
-Doughboy Donuts down in Burleson would definitely be on the list because ya know… Balance!
-and if possible any TCU sports game!

There’s so much to do in this town, Fort Worth is one of a kind!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shout out to my business partners Gary and Reid. I could not do it without them. We have a team that is unlike anything else! With Gary as the mentor watching the big picture, Reid as the systems, marketing and operations of the company, and myself as the fitness, personality and “face” of the brand, it all works together seamlessly. When one of us is stressing about something the other 2 are always there to pick them up. Each one of our weaknesses is the other’s strength. It’s really actually crazy how it all worked out, it’s very rare. We all have the same mission but come with very different tools.

The next person is my fiancé soon to be wife in May, she has had my back since I met her. She understands the crazy life of an entrepreneur with the ups and downs that can change hourly. Paige, you have been my rock and I cannot wait marry you!
