A raw, no-frills functional fitness box built on barbells, sweat and a community that hauls you off the floor. Coached every session. Scaled for every body.
Forge Athletic isn't a fitness club with smoothie bars and televisions. It's a 6,000 sq ft warehouse of bumper plates, chalk dust and people who show up for each other. Whether you're chasing your first pull-up or your hundredth competition, every session is programmed and coached — start to finish.
Five tracks, one ethos: move well, then move heavy. Mix and match across your week — it's all included in one membership.
Linear and percentage-based barbell cycles. Squat, press, deadlift — track every kilo and watch the numbers climb.
The daily grind. Constantly varied, high-intensity workouts that leave you flat on the rubber and grinning.
Snatch and clean & jerk technique under a dedicated barbell coach. Speed, mobility and ferocious bar paths.
Rings, bars and bodyweight mastery. Build the pulling strength and control that the rig demands.
Rower, bike and run intervals that build an engine which simply refuses to quit. Aerobic base, anaerobic bite.
Every new athlete begins with Foundations — four coached sessions to learn the movements safely.
See Foundations →Our head coach has spent 14 years putting barbells in nervous hands and turning them into confident lifters. No session at Forge runs without a coach watching your bar path, calling your scale and pushing your last round.
“We don't care how much you lifted yesterday. We care whether you showed up today and left a little stronger.” — Marcus Vidal, Head Coach
There's no shortcut on the platform and no shortcut to a community. We build both the same way — show up, do the work, support the person lifting next to you.
Earn the load. We won't add weight until the pattern is solid and safe.
Logged lifts, benchmark WODs and PR bells. Progress you can see.
The last athlete finishing gets the loudest cheer. Always.
Mobility, sleep and fuelling guidance built into your membership.
I'd never touched a barbell. Eight months in I've deadlifted twice my bodyweight and made friends I train with every week. Forge changed my year.
The coaching is the difference. They scale the workout to me, not me to the workout, and I've never once felt out of place at the back.
Came for fitness, stayed for the people. The 6am crew is a family. I leave every session wrecked in the best possible way.
