The Forge method
Heavy, coached, repeatable.
- 01
Eight people, one coach
You are never lost in a crowd. Your coach knows your numbers, your sore shoulder and your goal for June.
- 02
Programmed, not improvised
Twelve-week cycles with real progression. You see the same lifts again, a little heavier, until they are yours.
- 03
Every rep earns a cue
Form feedback in the moment, scaled to your level. Beginners and ex-athletes train side by side without anyone getting hurt.
Classes
Pick your weapon
Five class formats, all small, all coached. Not sure where to start? Book Foundations and we will point you from there.
Barbell Club
Technique and heavy singles on the big lifts, with coaches filming and critiquing your sets.
Bells & Burn
Kettlebell swings, get-ups and carries, plus conditioning that leaves your lungs working harder than your legs.
Foundations
Four-week starter course. Learn the lifts at light weight so your first real class feels familiar.
Reset
Mobility, tissue work and easy movement for the days you want to feel better, not wrecked.

Sample reviews
Real lifts, real talk
“I walked in unable to deadlift an empty bar without pain. Six months on, I pull my own bodyweight and my back has stopped complaining.”
Alicia M.Member since 2023 (sample review)
“Class sizes are the real difference. My coach adjusts my set every single week. I have never been this consistent anywhere else.”
Ben K.Forge 45 regular (sample review)
“Foundations took the fear out of it. By week four I was in Barbell Club and nobody made me feel behind.”

Your first visit
Before you walk in
I have never lifted. Is this for me?
Yes. Start with Foundations or any Forge 45 class. Coaches scale every movement, and about a third of our members started with no experience.
What do I need to bring?
Flat-soled shoes, water and a towel. We provide barbells, kettlebells, chalk and a spot to leave your bag.
How does the free week work?
Seven days, up to three classes, no card needed. Afterwards you choose a plan, or you walk away with no follow-up.
Can I freeze my membership?
Anytime, for up to 60 days a year, for travel, injury or life. Just text the front desk.
Is there parking?
A free lot behind the building holds about 30 cars. Street parking on Foundry Row after 9 a.m.
