Transformations
The proof.
Real members. Real results. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just consistent hard work with expert coaching.
"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.

"I found a community, not just a workout."
As a working mum of three I needed something time-efficient that actually worked. The 45-minute format at FORGE is perfect. I do the 5:30am HIIT three times a week before the school run. The community here is unlike anything I have experienced — everyone pushes each other. My kids tell me I am a different person.

"Boxing at FORGE changed everything."
I have always wanted to learn to box but felt too old and too unfit. Callum's classes at FORGE are technical without being intimidating. Four months in and I can throw proper combinations, my cardio fitness has transformed, and I have lost 8kg. The 6:30pm BOX class is the highlight of my week.
