A Digbeth strength & conditioning studio for people who want real coaching, not a crowded gym floor. Small groups, proper programming, no ego.
"I opened Forge because I was tired of gyms where nobody watched your form until something got hurt. We cap every class at 12 so every rep gets coached, not just counted."
Every member starts with a movement assessment so coaching is built around your body, not a generic template.
Learn the big lifts properly, 6-week small-group block for complete beginners.
Max 12 per session, coached strength and conditioning, never a crowd.
Fully individualised programming with a dedicated coach, in-studio or hybrid.
Sport-specific strength and power work for competitive athletes.
Practical, sustainable nutrition guidance alongside your training block.
Dedicated mobility sessions to keep you training pain-free, long-term.
"First gym where a coach actually watches my form every session. Deadlifted double bodyweight for the first time last month."
"Small groups make the difference. Never feels like a crowded gym floor, and the programming actually progresses week to week."
"Came in knowing nothing about lifting. The Foundations block got me confident enough to join the regular sessions without feeling lost."
