I’ve just completed the 6-week Jump Start programme and I’m so glad I took the plunge, I started off feeling nervous and lacking confidence as I’ve never been a gym person but the support and encouragement from the coaches has made such a difference. I’m improving my fitness, strength and confidence, in such a supportive environment, made possible by both the coaches and the other ladies in the classes. Would definitely recommend Forge to anyone thinking about getting started.

Great atmosphere, encouraging trainers who go at your pace but still get a challenging workout. There is a sense of community and women of all ages and sizes. Definitely recommend especially if you are just getting back into exercise and are worried.

I love coming here for my wellbeing along with social interaction with other members. Everyone is very welcoming and the coaches are great and explain everything well.

As an older woman needing to get fit , joining a gym seemed insurmountable, how would I know what I was doing ? Who would be around to show me ? A PT was out of the question. And then I was told about Forge. A gym for women , run by women , who are qualified in getting every woman , no matter age or stage in life , to their physical bestThe 6 week starter is just perfect 18 small classes , working in small teams - at your pace and level, with a coach there adjusting your position if needed , so you are not going to hurt yourself. With full on online contact with four coaches there all the time .It gives you the time to decide whether being a full member is for you.I have really loved my starter sessions. I’ve tried a lot of different classes , and have worked out the ones I will use as my core program moving forward , because yes , I’ve signed for a further 3 months. Signing as a full time member straight away gives you a 1 to 1 with a coach to discuss where you want to be in three months and what support they can give - a lotForge really is a community. The coaches are totally passionate about building strength and confidence , not just in the gym , but socially , with other activities organised

Were to I start!! The 6 week programme was life changing!! The support and guidance I received in such a friendly environment, was so motivating. The 6 weeks allowed me to create healthy habbits and gave me a new outlook with regard to exercise both mentally and physically.xx

Friendly environment, the coaches are great approachable and know what they are doing . Really enjoyed my time with forge, will definitely consider going back .

I absolutely love my sessions with Coach Eilis! She is so friendly, supportive and motivating, and always makes every session enjoyable. She pushes me to do my best without making me feel pressured, and I’ve noticed such a difference in my confidence already. I genuinely look forward to my sessions and would highly recommend Eilis to anyone! 💪🏼❤️

When I walked into the gym on my first day, I was so nervous and honestly didn’t think I would make it through the six weeks! Fast forward six weeks and I’ve now become a full member, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.I absolutely love coming here and can really feel the benefits, both physically and mentally. The coaches are fantastic — so knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive — and all of the girls are lovely and so welcoming. Everyone is so helpful and there is such a positive atmosphere.I’ve gained so much confidence since starting, and what initially felt so daunting has become something I genuinely look forward to. I’m so glad I took that first step and joined. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone, especially if you’re nervous about starting!

I did the jump start program at forge. I was very nervous about going to a gym but I had no need to worry. All the coaches were very helpful and supportive. I had a weekly check in with a coach and with Sarah the nutritionist. This was very beneficial and helped kick start my journey being held accountable has really helped keep me focused and kept me focused. Everyone at Forge is helpful and supportive it is good to be challenged and also have a laugh during class. I was recently away on holiday and really did miss my classes during my time away.

Team Forge and the supportive space they create are amazing. So welcoming and enabling, right from the initial contact. Down to earth, informed, insightful, encouraging, from the exercise to the nutrition advice and motivation pieces. Their jump start programme did exactly what it promised to, creating an opportunity to embrace fitness. I loved the female specific space and advice, the quality of the coaching and the fun, 'can do' attitude. Thankyou

6 week jump start has been the most well considered offer to women I have come across. Professional, challenging and genuinely supportive.

2026-07-21T18:50:10.437Z

I have loved every minute of my 6 week trial and would recommend it to any lady who has never felt seen or included in the gym. I have now become a proud member of Forge Female Fitness. I never ever thought I would achieve what I have in 6 weeks and I couldn't have done it without the help and support from the coaches. I'm stronger and fitter than I've been for a very long time, learning new and better habits everyday with my nutrition as well. Forge really is like one big family supporting each other and I am so thankful to be part of it. This is just the beginning.....💪💪

2026-07-17T13:00:54.492Z

This has got to be the best gym ever !A great atmosphere and welcoming group and coaches who are always there to help.Definitely joining is something you wont regret .

2026-07-17T12:05:51.139Z

I have loved doing the 6 week Jump Start Program. The support from the Coaches is fantastic, everything is tailored to meet your needs and ability. I would highly recommend.

I've been really enjoying my time at Forge Women's Gym in Ballymoney. I never thought I'd be someone who genuinely enjoyed going to the gym, but that's exactly what's happened.I've noticed a huge improvement in both my strength and overall fitness. My functional strength has increased too, and everyday tasks like carrying shopping, gardening, and going up and down stairs feel much easier. I feel stronger, fitter, and more capable in day-to-day life.The support and encouragement from both the coaches and the other members has been incredible. It's not just a gym—it's a community where everyone wants to see each other succeed.I recently injured my foot while running (outside of Forge), and Jo-Jo was so kind, supportive, and helpful, adapting things so I could keep moving safely. That level of care really means a lot.I'm so proud of what I've achieved, and my family are proud of me too. Joining Forge has been one of the best decisions I've made, and I'd recommend it to any woman looking to get stronger, fitter, and be part of a genuinely supportive community.

Fantastic gym for women. You're put through your paces but with full support and encouragement both inside and outside the classes from a fab team of coaches. Class sizes are small and so its like a community of ladies all working hard, encouraging each other and having a giggle at the same time. I joined with a 6 week jumpstart programme and can't recommend it enough. I'd tried other gyms and always felt insecure, out of place and had no idea where to begin. For ladies looking to make a lasting change for your health and fitness Forge is 100% the place to go.

2026-07-03T14:58:08.467Z

Great gym,fab coaches,lovely set up,great equipment and a lovely group to train with!fully recommend!

2026-06-28T18:09:15.798Z

I thoroughly recommend Forge Female Fitness for any woman, regardless of age and fitness level. The encouragement from both coaches and members alike is second to none. I look forward to every session.

2026-06-25T20:33:13.914Z

Coaches were so supportive and everyone was so friendly and encouraging. I love the fact that all ages, sizes and ability were adapted for and as someone very new to exercise I found this the best part as I felt welcome from the very second I stepped through the door

2026-06-18T05:56:55.257Z

I’ve really enjoyed being a member of forge female gym. As a woman, it’s refreshing to have a space where I feel comfortable, encouraged, and focused on my fitness goals without feeling intimidated. The coaches are supportive and the positive atmosphere keeps me coming back. 🤩

2026-06-16T12:57:59.366Z

I've had an amazing time on the 6 week Jump Start at Forge, very knowledgeable coaches and friendly atmosphere

2026-06-05T21:54:37.978Z

Joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the start, both the team and members have been welcoming and supportive. The classes are well structured, making it easy to get the most out of each session and there’s always advice and guidance available whenever you need it. The team genuinely go above and beyond to help. The Coach’s knowledge and expertise in training and nutrition is shared through practical, achievable advice that feels tailored to your individual goals, making it much easier to build sustainable habits. Couldn’t recommend Forge more!

The group of girls are very friendly and helpful so are the coaches

2026-05-28T06:35:28.609Z

As a 22 year old who has never properly exercised before or enjoyed fitness, Forge Female Fitness has changed my perspective forever. They make each class fun, personalised and I have already noticed a huge difference in 6 weeks. I was so nervous when I first joined but by the end of that 1st class I was buzzing to go back and still am. The coaches are the loveliest and the community inside Forge Female Fitness is truly special.If you have ever wanted to get fitter and healthier there is no better place than Forge Female Fitness and the value of the 6 week jumpstart is immense.

2026-05-24T14:25:19.353Z

I've been trying to find a gym, keep fit classes that fit around family, work and life. This is definitely it. The girls are brilliant, they listen, check in, address any worries. Also help with nutrition, nothing is any trouble.Great classes, morning and evening. Upper, lower, plate, also barbell. I've had a ball.

2026-05-20T15:54:17.773Z

I find the classes at Forge very enjoyable and all the coaches are very aware of my ability & always encouraging as well adapting to my needs

2026-05-20T14:29:13.194Z

Words can't describe it, it has been a totally amazing journey loved every min of it and can't wait to get signed up. The 6 wk programme is a great starting g point let's you try out different classes and get a feel for which suits you best.

2026-05-06T17:05:20.724Z

I decided to go for a trial with Forge shortly after Christmas and when the trial was over, decided to join up as a member. I have only positive things to say about Forge, the coaches are highly experienced, helpful, and have created a friendly, open and fun environment for us to work out in. They are on hand to offer friendly advice and to make sure that you are using the equipment correctly and to help you adjust your moves safely and correctly. Although I have been a swimmer for many years, I can't believe how much fitter and stronger I feel since joining Forge. I would thoroughly recommend!

2026-04-24T21:45:32.431Z

I can honestly say that joining Forge has been the best decision I have made for my personal health and fitness in a long time 😊 Coaches are so welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive. I was a complete beginner - no experience of strength training at all. I now do 3 classes per week and love it. The gym is first class. Classes are challenging and fun with a great group of women. My nutrition, strength and fitness have all improved greatly. I can highly recommend! 💜
