Meet the founder: D. Luis Ordaz, Ph.D.

Hi, I’m Dr. Luis, and thank you for considering Forged Fitness for your training. I am a licensed psychologist who fell in love with the gym in college. When I’m not working, you can find me lifting, playing video games, or chilling with my partner (Shay). My mission is to transform the way the fitness community views and manages mental health.

If you’d like to know more about my background and training in psychology, visit my psychology practice website. You can also view my specialties and the psychological services I offer through my practice. I hope to see you in the gym!
