Real Results
The proof.
"I stopped making excuses and started showing up."
I joined FORGE after years of failed gym memberships. I was nervous about group fitness but the coaches made me feel welcome from day one. Six months later I am stronger, fitter, and more confident than I have ever been. I train five days a week and genuinely look forward to it.

"FORGE gave me structure I never had."
I played rugby at university and lost all fitness after graduating. Two years of sitting at a desk and I was in the worst shape of my life. The timetable at FORGE gave me routine. The coaches held me accountable. One year on, I am back to my playing weight and lifting heavier than I ever did as a student.
