The Mosko’s have created more than a gym, Forever Young is an experience
By: Johanna Elattar
Hornell has a new gem for fitness enthusiasts and beginners alike—Forever Young Fitness, a state-of-the-art gym that opened its doors to the public on May 1st. Owned by Pat and Theresa Mosko, this gym is more than just a place to work out; it’s a community-driven space where health, education, and inclusivity come together to support every individual’s fitness journey.
Pat and Theresa, a married couple since 2010, bring a deep sense of commitment to the Hornell community. Originally from upstate New York and Colorado, they are the proud parents of two sons, ages 13 and 9. Alongside running Forever Young Fitness, they also took over the Whistle Stop Laundromat on October 1, 2022. Their diverse business ventures reflect their strong ties to the area and their desire to create spaces that truly serve the people around them.
Forever Young Fitness stands out because it isn’t just a gym—it’s an experience. Equipped with the latest, commercial-grade workout equipment, the gym offers a wide variety of cardio machines, pro cable machines, and free weights. Whether you’re looking to improve your overall health, build strength, or train for specific goals, this gym has the tools to help you get there. The best part? The gym is designed to cater to all fitness levels, so no matter where you are on your journey, there’s something for you.
What truly sets Forever Young apart, however, is its commitment to fostering a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. Pat prides himself on being on a first-name basis with many of the gym’s patrons, extending this friendly, personal connection to the laundromat as well. He and Theresa believe in building relationships with the people they serve, making sure that every individual who walks through their doors feels comfortable, respected, and motivated to achieve their fitness goals. The gym is a judgment-free zone, where people can focus on their health without fear of being judged.
Pat is passionate about addressing the obesity epidemic that continues to impact millions of people in the U.S. He has a particular focus on men over 40, encouraging them to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Pat believes that as people age, they are faced with a critical choice: either let themselves go or commit to staying active and living a healthy life. At Forever Young Fitness, Pat and Theresa are dedicated to educating their members about the importance of regular exercise, proper nutrition, and making small, sustainable changes that can lead to lasting health improvements.
Membership at Forever Young Fitness is designed to be affordable and accessible. While many gyms charge exorbitant fees, Forever Young offers monthly memberships starting at just $49.99. Those who commit to 6 or 12-month plans receive a discounted rate of $39.99 per month, making it one of the most affordable gyms in the area. For families, there’s even better news: a family of three can join for just $99 per month, with flexible pricing for larger families based on their individual needs.
One of the most convenient features of Forever Young Fitness is its round-the-clock availability. The gym is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, you can fit in your workout whenever it suits you best. This flexibility makes it easier for people with busy schedules to prioritize their health and fitness goals without having to rearrange their day.
For Pat and Theresa, opening Forever Young Fitness wasn’t just about adding another business to their roster—it was about creating a space that could genuinely improve the lives of those in their community. They want to help people not just get fit, but learn about how to live healthier lives. They see fitness as a tool for building confidence, improving well-being, and fostering a sense of accomplishment. And with their welcoming attitude and commitment to education, they’re building a gym that truly serves the needs of its members.
Whether you’re looking to get back into shape, build muscle, or simply maintain a healthy lifestyle, Forever Young Fitness is the place for you. With top-tier equipment, a judgment-free atmosphere, and a focus on education and community, it’s a gym that offers more than just physical workouts—it’s a place to learn, grow, and become your best self.
