FORGE FITNESS

With over 15 years of coaching experience, Maggie is dedicated to building strength, resilience, and movement literacy across all ages and abilities. As a Certified Senior Instructor with StrongFirst, she specializes in guiding individuals toward their goals in a realistic and sustainable way. Her passion for track and powerlifting, combined with a deep commitment to community, has allowed her to foster an environment where athletes of all abilities thrive—both in and out of the gym. Most recently, she had the privilege of coaching athletes ranging from 13 to 73 years old to a state powerlifting meet, where every single one made the platform and placed. Her mission is simple: to teach strength as a lifelong skill, empower people to move with confidence, and cultivate a gym community that supports and uplifts each other. Always a student herself, she continues to educate and evolve so that she can bring the best to those she coaches.

Originally from Missoula, Jenna Dodge now calls Bozeman home, where she lives with her husband and four children. Her passion for strength training began at the age of 14, but it wasn’t until 2008—when she discovered CrossFit—that she truly found her love for kettlebells and barbell training. From 2008 to 2014, Jenna coached and competed in CrossFit, pushing herself and others to new levels of fitness. After stepping away from coaching and eventually from CrossFit, she found herself searching for a deeper understanding of kettlebell training. That search led her to Maggie and Forge Fitness in 2022, where she immersed herself in training and rediscovered her passion for coaching. In April 2024, she earned her Strong First SFG I Kettlebell Instructor Certification, a testament to her dedication and skill. Jenna believes that strength is for everyone, and she loves helping people achieve things they once thought were out of reach. Whether it’s perfecting a kettlebell swing or building confidence under a heavy barbell, she thrives on seeing others grow—both physically and mentally. When she’s not coaching or training, you’ll find Jenna embracing the Montana outdoors, whether it's trail running, mountain biking, or skiing. She lives for movement, adventure, and the belief that strength is built one rep at a time.

Jes has been part of the Forge community for over four years, where she discovered the power of getting stronger—not just working out. While the gym is now a big part of her life, movement has always been at her core. Whether it’s camping, kayaking, or lacing up her skates for roller derby, she thrives on staying active and embracing new challenges. A founding member and former captain of Montana’s State all-star roller derby team, Jes knows what it means to push limits and lead by example. And with the right motivation, she might even be convinced to tackle a Spartan race or two again. Before returning to the Gallatin Valley, Jes spent time teaching in the Big Hole Valley, bringing the same passion for learning and growth to the classroom that she now brings to her training. No matter where she is—on the track, in the gym, or out in the wild—Jes believes in the power of movement, resilience, and community.
