Inside the box
Built by lifters.
For lifters.
The story
Forge was founded in 2019 by two ex-national-team powerlifters who got tired of training around influencers in mirror gyms. They wanted a place built for one thing — putting more weight on the bar.
No fluff. No vibes-only "wellness." Just steel, platforms, programming, and people who show up.
What we don't have
No selfie corner. No protein-shake counter. No "tone and sculpt" classes. No annual contracts that auto-renew. No upsell to a £900 personal-training package on your first visit.
