Forge Functional Fitness

1. The gym is in an unappealing warehouse area, very de-motivating. (Pic attached) 2. Access requires walking down noisy streets with oversized trucks constantly passing by, again, demotivating. 3. Paying £2,000/month for personal training or £135/month for group classes is excessively high, making fitness accessible only to the wealthy. 4. The gym ignores the need for social sports in sunlight as it’s in a warehouse. 5. Their idea we need excessive rest ignores our evolutionary history of daily activity for the sake of profit margins. They could easily fix this review to 5 star by offering a nicer peaceful location that promotes motivation, either offer group sports in sunlight or reduce their prices to reflect the fact it’s in a warehouse with no natural light, and either offer daily training or reduce their prices to reflect the fact they only offer training up to ten times per month. Just common sense. See attached pic.

Unbelievable gym, community and overall product. If you’re looking for a spot to train hard, make friends and feel part of something more than just a big-box corporate gym, this is the place!

Amazing gym - lots of members have been coming for many years and Forge has become a real community.

This is such a great gym. I did F45 for years and this place smashes them. Every session you feel like you have had a challenging workout and achieve results. It has been so easy to become addicted to this place. Great people, brilliant class based workouts and quick to see results.

Favourite gym class I've attended - catering for those who want to build up both fitness and strength! Smaller classes are efficiently ran, and the trainers work closely with you on technique. Gym owner, Jamie has created a really welcoming and friendly gym atmosphere!

Jamie and the team team at Forge are great. The gym has a really friendly atmosphere and I am always made to feel welcome. The classes are tough, but fun, with a great range of equipment. The only gym I've been to with a "family" feel to the members.

Such a good gym! The workouts are great - they are diverse & push you to your limits in the best way. Since going there I have got fitter and stronger. There is also a really nice community feel at the gym. Would highly recommend it!

I have been using the Forge since the beginning of the year - The workouts are challenging, fun & varied. Everyone is down to earth & there is a great sense of community amongst members. Trainers are professional and the smaller class numbers mean they are always on hand help with technique and push you to the max. Throughout lockdown when gyms had to close they were committed to ensuring we all had home workout programs. I will admit I never used to be a huge fan of any gym but since finding the Forge I genuinely enjoy each and every class I attend!
