Tiffany Dennis Gets Real on YouTube: Gym Culture, Scales & Forge CHS Vibes
A Hilarious, Honest Chat About Fitness, Gym Life & Why Forge CHS Is Different
Joining a gym shouldn’t feel like signing a lease or solving a maze. In a recent YouTube episode of Snackin’ & Yakkin’ with Big Ben Kennedy, Forge CHS co-founder and Master Trainer Tiffany Dennis sat down for a real, funny, zero-ego conversation about fitness, gym culture, and why she built something better for Charleston locals.
Most New Year’s resolutions don’t stick. Research shows that over 40% of people set resolutions, but only 8–20% maintain them past the first two months. Fitness goals top the list, and gym intimidation is one of the biggest barriers to starting. Forge CHS flips that script by creating a gym that’s approachable, organized, and built to support consistency—not scare you out of it.
Gym Talk Without the Nonsense (No Scales, No TVs, No Ego)
Tiffany got tired of corporate gym takeovers, crowded floors, and confusing spaces. So she and Christian built Forge CHS: a clean, organized, 10,000 sq. ft. gym in West Ashley designed by locals, for locals.
Her coaching philosophy is simple:
“Fitness should leave you ready for your day, not crawling around in defeat.”
“Scales can ruin your peace—focus on strength, energy, and how you feel.”
At Forge CHS, the vibe backs the philosophy:
Fewer mirrors (train with confidence, not comparison)
No TVs (less noise, more focus)
A famously discussed “no-nipples policy” (listen, it’s a funny YouTube show)
