Anthony Ferkel

Lifestyle Coach | Fitness Educator | Performance Strategist

Anthony Ferkel, founder of FORGEWELL FITNESS, is a premier lifestyle coach and fitness educator recognized in both Los Angeles, New York City, and South Florida for his holistic and empowering approach to personal transformation. With over 17 years of elite coaching experience, Anthony has worked with a distinguished clientele that includes NBA athletes, celebrities, models, and Wall Street executives, all drawn to his ability to blend precision performance training with mental wellness and sustainable lifestyle design.

Holding a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and professional certifications through NASM and IFA, Anthony brings both analytical structure and compassionate intuition to his practice. His foundation in fitness was shaped through mentorship with Rich Beretta, former Mr. America and renowned performance trainer, whose guiding mantra still anchors Anthony’s philosophy:

“Listen to what the client says, what the client’s body is telling you, and remember that each individual is unique and requires a tailored game plan.”

  • "For several years, I have been a training client of Anthony Ferkel, at times training as often as five days a week. You only train so long, hard and frequently with someone who delivers results, keeps the workouts interesting, motivates you and treats you professionally, and Anthony excels in all these categories. Anthony is an expert at developing routines that challenge you without defeating you, and his workout routines evolve as you progress".

  • I have had the privilege of training with Anthony for over seven years in various settings — from the gym to my home and virtually via FaceTime. As an active 60-year-old, I deeply value how he customizes each session to my individual abilities, goals, and how my body feels that day. His approach is thoughtful and adaptable, ensuring that I can train safely and effectively while working through any injuries and still gain muscle and strength. Anthony is exceptionally reliable, highly knowledgeable, and offers valuable guidance on nutrition and supplementation. His professionalism, positive energy, and genuine care make every session both productive and enjoyable. He is an outstanding trainer and an even better person.
