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.

Was here yesterday refreshing the guys skills on First Aid at Work. Outstanding place, the team are so professional and very caring and supportive offering 1st class fitness and a vast knowledge in nutrition.

Highly recommend Forge Fitness & Nutrition! Lovely bunch of people and made me feel at ease. Started out 6 weeks ago, after not exercising for years and I have now signed up to the Hybrid Membership! If you need accountability and find it hard exercising on your own, this place is for you!

I have tried sooo many fitness and weight loss programmes which included slimming world, 6 week pt course, 28 day challenges, using my fitness pal myself for calorie deficit but i would do all these but never stick to it, i would go to the gym and have my routine but then think oh im too tired today and wouldnt go! My confidence was low and my motivation was low, In November last year i saw Dan’s sponsored post on instagram saying Black Friday deal 12 week programme and made enquiries with Dan as was also looking at another programme and close to signing up but Dans approach in the messages was not like other PT’s he was understanding and you could tell you wasnt just a number or about getting the money, he was so understanding and interested what my goals were. I totally felt at ease and signed up and wow what a 12 weeks it has been and even signed up again for another 12 weeks! The reason why..i have never felt so determined and good about myself by seeing the results and actually enjoying the journey and this is all thanks to Dan with his support, awesome pt sessions, accountability every week with checks in and feedback every time! Every question asked no matter how small he is there and also the support of the whats app group with tips and regular video’s Dan does to ensure you understand about nutrition and anything else relevant to help with everyones fitness journey! Even outside the gym if you do a fitness event he is so supportive and shares your success! He really cares for his clients and it just wants you to succeed more, i really cant recommend Dan and Forge Fitness and Nutrition enough, its more than a gym its a family that makes you feel at ease and welcome to achieve any goal you have in mind, Thank you for giving me confidence I've never felt before and results i never thought would come!

I can’t recommend the InBody scan enough, it completely changed my relationship with the scale and how I view progress in my fitness journey. For years, I let the number on the scale dictate how I felt about my efforts, but the InBody scan showed me there’s so much more to that number. Seeing my muscle mass, body fat percentage, and other details gave me a whole new understanding and motivation.Having Dan walk me through the results made a huge difference, he is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. Instead of just looking at numbers, I left with a clear picture of where I’m at, what’s working, and what to focus on next. My workouts feel more purposeful now and the scan has helped me stop obsessing over just the scale weight.If you're serious about your health and want real insight into your progress, this is absolutely worth doing!

I’ve personally known Dan for a few years and his knowledge and passion for fitness and nutrition is amazing. The gym is a friendly environment to go to no matter your capability or experience. A coach who has built himself a brilliant team around him and goes beyond the expectations of your average coach. Definitely a place to give a try!

I have been having PY with Chris for 12 weeks and I am in the best condition ever. Finally gaining muscle after a 3 decade plateau in my home gym! Chris even got me strengthening my legs! Love the results, feeling positive and really motivated - I couldn't recommend them highly enough, in fact I have just renewed my membership!

I can’t believe that I am actually enjoying the gym! 1:1 personal training is available but it’s the Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) concept that Dan and his team have really made work from my perspective - even for those like me that are self-conscious and struggle with motivation. From the easy to use booking system, to the tracking of workouts and achievements, the community with other members, and the attentive weekly personal feedback and progress monitoring of not just my exercise but also my nutrition I am seeing steady and consistent results. With plenty of class times throughout the week, availability has been excellent. Monitoring is via technology that measures body composition in a couple of minutes and gives a detailed view of progress against my weekly goals, tracking and retaining historic data. I enjoy the workouts in the small groups (not more than 6 people) and us all encouraging each other towards reaching our goals and improving with each session. Dan has built a community with Forge and the members, with the sharing of nutrition tips, food ideas, achievements, and arranging social events plus general online chatter should you want it. As you can tell by now - I am a fan and highly recommend Forge Fitness & Nutrition. It’s not like any other gym I’ve tried in the past - it’s so much more than a gym.

Reluctantly reviewing as when the word spreads Forge Fitness will expand rapidly! Lovely bespoke fitness training in a wonderful rural setting. Structured classes including tailored one to one sessions, boot camps and more. Don’t be put off by either Dan or Chris' youthfulness - they have a lot to teach, the motivation and confidence to get you to reach your goals - whatever they maybe. Ellie and Kev also who are new to the coaching team. Clientele in the classes are supportive and non judgemental to all participants, the coaches crack the whip to keep us all working at our respective levels pushing us as individuals. Try one session and you’ll be hooked!

I’ve been training with Chris at Forge for approx 6 months. I’ve never felt more comfortable at a gym. Dan and Chris are very motivational and have helped me achieve a lot in a short amount of time :)

2024-12-23T16:06:04.971Z

Really friendly coaches and people. I have really noticed a difference, even with only be able to attend one class a week.

2024-12-19T22:55:28.423Z

I started at Forge in August 2024 as a complete novice to weight training. Chris and Dan have been amazing at explaining how working with weights, steps and nutrition works. Slowly, because I take forever to make anything consistent, I’m starting to see real improvements in all levels of my health and weight loss journey. Highly recommend joining.

Good session, thank you.

2024-12-19T16:17:19.609Z

Been going to Forge at least once a week now since 2022 and it's completely changed my attitude to exercise and nutrition. Classes are great, the trainers are knowledgeable and helpful and the community is so friendly. The gym is constantly being improved and the sessions are always fresh and interesting. Great Gym!
