Forge is brilliant! An excellent balance of individual attention and encouragement alongside a welcoming and inclusive community. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely invested in making everyone feel comfortable and achieve their own goals, whatever their starting point.

Genuinely changed my opinion of going to a gym, it is so friendly and welcoming and the best bit of small groups if you never exercise alone or think about what to do it’s all prepared for you with loads of support and encouragement-

Great supportive atmosphere. The best thing I ever did for me was joining the forge community

Such a lovely, friendly gym! The coaches and other members are really welcoming. You’re encouraged and pushed just the right amount, without feeling overwhelmed. A great atmosphere and a brilliant place to train!

I’ve always been allergic to exercise, and gyms in particular, so I’ve surprised myself (and everyone who knows me) with how much I’ve enjoyed Forge!The groups are mixed ability, but it feels like you’re all in it together and having a laugh, to the extent that you don't register if your neighbour is lifting ten times more than you. The staff are full of encouragement and advice, without ever making you feel pressured. I’d never lifted weights before, and I’m not one to overexert myself, but they’ve made it all feel achievable and manageable, and I’m already feeling stronger, despite taking it slow.It’s lovely to see a young, local business putting so much energy and care into what they’re building, and always looking for ways to improve. If you’re not sure whether it’s for you, give it a go, as you might surprise yourself too.

I do the Small Group PT twice a week with a coach, a mixture of strength and mobility training. The coaches at Forge are really knowledgeable and encourage us to be the best we can, while also taking into consideration any injuries or training issue we may have. There are always tweaks that can be adjusted to accommodate. The Forge Community is a fabulous place to be, helping each other with moral support and being each others cheerleaders in our achievement's, in and out of the gym.

Would you like a gym where the staff know more about training and nutrition than you could imagine? How about a gym where you genuinely feel accepted and encouraged no matter your starting point? A gym where you are held accountable to ensure you achieve what you set out to. Where the other members are friendly and supportive. Where training sessions are varied, structured and clearly all fit together in a larger plan. Where above, all people are kind.If that sounds like the gym for you, then this is the place 👍

So glad I found Forge!I have been coming for personal training with Dan for 18 months now. I enjoy doing a number a varied sports (XC skiing, Telemark skiing, hiking/mountaineering, coastal rowing, trail running), so really value the tailored approach to my own goals….the first of which was ‘get to May without picking up an injury’…. 😆18 months in and I am stronger than ever. What’s more is that I look forward to my training sessions. Whilst I enjoy PT, the gym is always buzzing with motivated clients ‘getting it done’. So many inspirational folks in there.I’ve achieved far more than I thought possible, even did a HYROX as a 55th birthday treat 😆I look forward to seeing where the next year takes me! Thank you Forge!!!

Such a good gym! Everyone’s welcoming, the coaches are supportive and knowledgeable, and there’s a real team atmosphere. The small group PT sessions are spot on for me, you get pushed, have fun, and genuinely enjoy being there. What really stands out is that forge is always evolving, with the team constantly looking for ways to improve and make the experience even better. Easily the best gym I’ve been a part of- thankyou!!

An amazing gym that truly feels like a community. The coaches are incredibly supportive, caring, and encouraging, and the classes are always enjoyable. I’ve made great progress since joining and genuinely look forward to every session. Highly recommend!

Got me through a fitness test I needed for work, great gym, great equipment, friendly and approachable and very knowledgeable

Started at Forge Fitness recently and I’m honestly so glad I did! The atmosphere is amazing, everyone is really friendly and the coaches are so supportive. They make you feel comfortable straight away, no matter your fitness level and always encourage you to do your best. Such a great community and somewhere I genuinely enjoy coming to. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! ⭐️

Would strongly recommend making the most of the 6 week starter pack, its a great way to see if the gym is for you and something not many gyms offer.Small group PT classes are great, a good way to learn to lift safely. Easy booking system where you can attend classes at times that work for you not necessarily the same time each week! 😀💪🏋‍♀️

Absolutely brilliant gym - completely personalised, lovely & really knowledgeable coaches and always a great atmosphere. I have joined gyms before and found themboring but in the small groups, you’re helping each other and being guided all the time by a coach. Totally different vibe and the classes whizz by! Highly recommend.

I’ve absolutely loved being part of the Strong Mum Club at Forge Fitness. It was just what I was after while I was on maternity leave - I loved the opportunity to get stronger with other people going through the same baby fun and challenges as me, including Ellie our awesome instructor! Just sad I can’t make the timings work now I’m back at work. Guess I’ll have to have another baby! 👶🏼

I was a complete novice with gym equipment and language, but I soon picked it up and was literally picking up weights I never knew I’d be able to lift. It’s so good to have the trainer there instructing every step and for me to be able to ask any questions. It’s also extremely encouraging having the others there alongside me in the small group. Within 6 weeks I’ve seen great improvements in my overall body. The Body Scan is an amazing bit of kit! Thanks Dan it’s an amazing gym you’ve built here and continue to improve the workouts so no one can say they are bored.

A great first six weeks since joining this gym community! The trainers are all knowledgeable and supportive. The workouts dynamic and fun (but occasionally brutal!) I look forward the the next six weeks and beyond. Dan is great at helping you realise your goals and keep you motivated. Everyone’s ability is different and the small PT enables you to work at your level.
