What we train
Four ways to get to work
Whether you want a coach calling the shots or the run of the floor, there's a lane for you. And a crew that'll have your back in all of them.
Group Classes
HIIT and conditioning in a high-energy room. A coach sets the pace, the crew brings the energy, and you just have to show up.
Personal Training
One-on-one coaching built entirely around your goals, your schedule, and your body. The fastest path from where you are to where you want to be.
Open Gym
Full run of the floor: racks, platforms, rigs and machines, whenever it suits you. Train your own way in a clean, 24/7 space.
Why Forge
Built for results, run for people
Community + accountability
You won't train alone
The hardest part is walking in the door. After that, the room carries you. Coaches learn your name, members notice when you miss, and a quiet kind of accountability keeps you coming back when motivation runs thin.
- Coaches who know your goals and your sticking points
- A crew that celebrates PRs and shows up for each other
Programming that works
A plan, not a random workout
Random workouts get random results. Our programming is periodized and progressive. Every block builds on the last, so you can actually see the numbers move instead of just feeling tired.
- Structured strength + conditioning that compounds week over week
- Scaled options for every movement, every day
Coaching for every level
From day one to PR day
Never touched a barbell? Perfect. Coached for years? Also perfect. Every session is scalable, and a real coach is on the floor to dial the movement to exactly where you are today, not where some program assumes you should be.
- Free intro session to learn the ropes before you dive in
- Form-first coaching so you train hard and stay healthy

Real people, real progress
No transformation gimmicks. Just members who kept showing up and got stronger for it.
I hadn't worked out in a decade and was terrified to walk in. Two coaches introduced themselves before I'd even set my bag down. Six months later I deadlift more than my bodyweight and actually look forward to Mondays.

+95 lb deadlift The programming is the real deal. It's structured, it progresses, and the coaches actually watch your form instead of scrolling their phone. I've trained at five gyms. This is the first one that felt like a team.
Marcus D. Classes member
Down 22 lb Open gym at 5am, classes at lunch, a coach when I want one. Forge flexes around my chaotic schedule instead of the other way around. And nobody here makes you feel like you don't belong.
