Forge Female Fitness: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Such a safe & welcoming space where respect & support for your very individual journey is uppermost. Love it
Fantastic experience: An amazing place with dedicated and knowledgeable coaches and their classes are well thought out, planned ahead and they progress over the weeks. There’s plenty of encouragement from both them and all the ladies around you and there’s such a friendly atmosphere. With Nutrition and mindful coaches as well, all bases are covered. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them and they’ll answer whatever questions you have. There are also regular podcasts to listen to on various topics that are both informative, interesting and entertaining! All in all it’s a fantastic place for training, with small class groups and ultimately plenty of training advice.
Fantastic experience: I’m 61 and joined Forge with the aim of getting healthier, stronger and fitter. I’ve joined gyms in the past but never was able to keep it up beyond a few weeks. Forge just isn’t like anything else - the support from the coaches is incredible. They know you and what you’re capable of and push you to be your best. The community of women at Forge are so friendly and encouraging and the banter is brilliant. It’s an amazing tribe of women supporting and encouraging each other and having a laugh along the way. I’m now 5 months in and find I’m arranging my week around my classes. I’m so happy I took the leap and joined Forge - best decision I made in years
Fantastic experience: I've been attending Forge for 6months now and just back from my 7am Upper body class. Hated any other gym I went to and never stayed more than 2-3 months previously. So what's the difference for me? Such a warm, supportive and welcoming gym (there's definitely not the intimidation factor of other gyms). Small classes, all normal women and all levels together (exercises are adapted/tailored according to each individual). Almost 1-1 coaching, with very individualised advice and feedback on your progress from very attentive, experienced coaches. Plus, the craic is great!
Fantastic experience: After years of trying to keep some sort of regular fitness routine going. Signed up about 3 months ago. The Forge system works … from easy booking which can be done well in advance to small size classes that are fun. The workouts completely hit the spot with plenty of instruction and variation. Love it.
Fantastic experience: Great set up, good range of work outs, brilliant trainers Jo Jo and Grace, very helpful and no matter what level of fitness you're at you will get excellent training and encouragement. Being a women's only fitness class the camaraderie is really good and it helps make tough work outs fun.
Fantastic experience: I am 3 months into my journey at Forge and I really cannot recommend it enough - it's totally different to any gym/fitness experience I've ever had. The coaches listen to your goals and provide tailored, realistic advice and guidance to help you meet them. The class structure is great and the coaches design the programmes so they're accessible to ladies of any age or fitness level. Last, but by no means least, the community and support of not just the coaches but the other ladies is amazing!
Fantastic experience: I've joined Forge recently after winning a months gym membership. I've joined other gyms in the past but this is totally different. The group of ladies across the board are just so lovely, down to earth and very friendly. You are just accepted as you are, the encouragement and support is amazing. I would highly recommend this unique tribe of gym ladies to everyone! It's the total deal, mindset, nutrition, motivation, encouragement, positivity, goal setting and mostly fun
Thank you for your glowing review, Sarah! We are thrilled to hear our community, services, and vibe are resonating with you so positively. We are happy to have you as part of our Forge family and look forward to continue delivering great experiences for you!
Fantastic experience: Forge is incredible. A year in I just love it. The classes are fun, challenging and because the groups are small it feels like personal training. Coaches Grace and Jo Jo are just fab with their knowledge and expertise they meet you were you are at. I always leave the class happier than when I entered, sweatier too. Indeed I can’t emphasise enough how not only do I feel stronger physically but also mentally. As well as the classes there is a full support network available to you for guidance with diet and much more. Thank you Forge. You’re the best!
Fantastic experience: I had not been in a gym in years and was nervous but all the ladies are very welcoming. You are put at ease as soon as you walk through the door. The coaches are brilliant, pushing you enough so you can reach your potential but also hoovering to make sure you are doing the movement correctly and adapting the move if required. I would recommend this gym for any age group or level if fitness.
Fantastic experience: Great coaches, a welcoming atmosphere, well planned classes and a supportive environment. Plenty of motivation to help transform you and build confidence. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I started with forge at start of January never having joined a gym before , so I was so nervous but as soon as I walked in I felt at ease straight away due to the ladies there of all ages all doing great which told me straight away this felt good .They were all so welcoming and straight away answering any questions I ask . The coaches have great time to listen and explain all in detail as well as during the class have great banter while we are still being pushed at your own level. I have learned more about nutrition and realised it’s not all about dieting you really can eat what you want in moderation but also the exercise helps us to maintain a healthy balance. Our coaches are so supportive in and out of class . Great community building with so many different activities most weekends to join in on. I would recommend anyone thinking about joining a gym if there not sure , that was me and I’m so glad I did .
Thank you for sharing your experience, Teresa! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and supported right from the start. It's fantastic that you're already feeling better about yourself after just a month with us. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing this journey with you!
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in January because I hadn’t exercised properly in years and wanted somewhere welcoming and friendly. I was anxious when I first walked in but everyone was so welcoming and I’m so glad I decided to join. The coaches are a great support inside and outside the gym and the main thing that keeps me going each week is the community aspect in the classes and feeling part of something. I’ve noticed positive changes to my health and fitness and I genuinely look forward to catching up with the other ladies in the classes every week.
Helen you are a joy to coach and we are so glad you find our space welcoming, friendly and genuinely supportive. Your progress has been a joy to watch and we love seeing your smile in classes and enjoying making fitness a part of your life
Fantastic experience: I joined Forge Females Fitness just over 6 months ago, initially for the 90 day bombshell experience, never having set foot in a gym before and never imagining I would want to continue. But it has honestly been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Grace, JoJo and Sarah are super experienced, encouraging and supportive coaches who have made me believe I am capable of pushing myself more than I ever thought possible and who have helped me progress massively, not only in my strength and fitness, but also with my nutrition and mindset. I look forward to going to classes and through the intricately planned programmes I feel like I am progressing week on week. Forge is also set apart by the community of incredible women: there is no judgement, only genuine support. I feel like a completely different person than I was 6 months ago and joining Forge has genuinely changed my life for the better. I can’t wait to continue being part of this wonderful community!
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with us, Cherith! We're thrilled to hear how much you've grown in strength, fitness, and mindset over the past six months. Our coaches are dedicated to creating a supportive and empowering environment, and it’s wonderful to know you feel that sense of community with us. We're excited to continue this journey with you and celebrate your progress together!
Fantastic experience: This a great Gym with the best coaches. Everyone who attends is friendly and very supportive.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Sharon! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying our gym and appreciate the support from our coaches and community. Looking forward to seeing you in your next workout!
Fantastic experience: I have been with Forge for over 4 months now and I have had an amazing experience. I have gained much more than just weight loss. I have learned consistency, gained good habits, I have toned up, more confidence and mentally I am in a much a stronger and better place. It never feels like a work out it’s the first time ever I look forward to attending work out classes. Highly recommended this investment in your health with a talented, highly motivated and committed bunch of coaches.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Susan! We're thrilled to hear about the positive impacts you've experienced during your time with us. Your journey towards better health and confidence is truly inspirational, and we're glad to have you as part of our community. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to supporting you further on your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: The forge gym is a fantastic space to train and learn with a full range of ladies, all at different stages of life. The coaches adapt moves to suit your needs, injuries and abilities! I feel so much fitter and stronger than I was 3 months ago!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Claire! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your time at The Forge and that you're seeing such significant improvements. Our coaches are dedicated to helping each member reach their personal fitness goals, and it's fantastic to see that reflected in your experience. We look forward to continuing this journey with you!
Fantastic experience: Fully recommend Forge Fitness. Welcoming knowledgable coaches, space and clients making every workout fun. Classes are small, designed to bring out the best in each and every one of us, with exercises individually tailored to each individual. A ladies only gym creating a fully supportive community of women wanting only the best for each other. An overall holistic approach supporting clients in every aspect of health and fitness. What’s not to love!!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Jane! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate our coaches, community, and tailored approach. Your support means a lot to us, and we are committed to providing a fantastic experience for all our members. We look forward to seeing you at Forge Fitness!
Fantastic experience: I'm having an absolute ball at Forge! They were the first trainers who were willing, and trained, to help me exercise despite some limitations. Every other trainer I spoke to said "wait until you see a physio, then you can come to me" but I've been waiting two years! The Coaches at Forge however, are so focused on helping women of all ages, with all challenges, that they are particularly trained in these areas and so, they welcomed me in, have adapted every exercise at every class without me needing to ask or remind, and they do this in every class across multiple women with multiple things they need personally addressed! The classes are challenging and fun and the community spirit is brilliant! The app has tick boxes of everything you need to do on a daily basis so you don't need to keep a running To Do List in your brain and the booking system is super easy to use! When I've needed help and support outside of classes, there's always been at least one coach to respond to me quickly and that is a rarity and so incredibly helpful! I would definitely encourage anyone in the local area to come along!
Fantastic experience: A warm welcome awaits at Forge Female Fitness. Great place, people, support and sense of community. So glad I signed up.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Alison! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and supported at Forge Female Fitness. It’s great to have you as part of our community! We look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: The support I’ve had since joining Forge Fitness has been amazing. This is not only in the gym itself, but in chats on Slack, voice notes etc as I navigate my way around all the different contact methods. Small group coaching is great, individualised to ability and the encouragement from coaches and gym members alike is fantastic. I feel very welcomed and look forward to the next few months for a transformation in my habits, strength and wellbeing. Thank you Grace, JoJo & Sarah xx
Fantastic experience: Joining Forge was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I find world class coaching and unwavering support to help me reach my goals, but I also found an incredible community. I was made to feel so welcome from the second I walked in the door. The kindness and encouragement from all of these women has been amazing. It's so wonderful and rare to find a gym that genuinely cares about you as a person both inside and out.
Fantastic experience: The best decision I have made is walking through the doors of Forge Female Fitness. Incredible support from incredible coaches to help me on my fat loss journey. From the very first moment I was made to feel welcome and the craic is great! At the age of 50 I never thought I would be strength training and really enjoying it. It’s having a great effect on my physical and mental health. I highly recommend
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Joanne! We're thrilled to hear that you feel supported on your fat loss journey and have enjoyed strength training with us. It's inspiring to see how it has positively impacted both your physical and mental health. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: If your on the fence about getting back into the gym, or maybe starting for the first time, give Forge a go. The coaches go above and beyond in helping you be the best you can be. If your having a rotten day, going to Forge is such a tonic to your mood, giving you a bounce to your step. You always leave feeling brighter and thankful that you came. You won't regret it.

Our coaches strive to bring out the best in everyone, and it's great to know you appreciate that. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We look forward to seeing you continue to grow with us.
Fantastic experience: I never in a million years thought I would step foot in a gym, nevermind enjoy it! But Forge is something else! I've only been a member since August 2024, originally started with their 10 day tester and I've never looked back! The female focused enviroment is just what I needed, the coaching is individual to you, supportive, encouraging and inspiring. The community of women at Forge is incredible, women of all ages and abil8t8es and life styles. They support, encourage and relate but most importantly the laughs and the craic is great! I could not recommend Forge enough!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Shannon! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience since joining Forge.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Ellen! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and supported during your workouts. Our community is truly special, and we're proud of the teamwork and encouragement everyone provides. Keep smashing it with us
Fantastic experience: Head Coach Jojo has been an amazing support to me since joining FORGE Female Fitness. I have several serious health issues and never expected to be able to attend personal training. Jojo has made this possible as she adapts all the workout plans around my capabilities whilst still making me work hard. I have gained strength, lost weight and now have a much broader knowledge of food, recipes and weight loss. Thank you so much Jojo
Thank you for your wonderful review, Ann! We're thrilled to hear about your progress and how Jojo has been able to support you on your fitness journey. Your determination and hard work are truly inspiring. Fitness is for everyone and we’re so glad to be a part of your journey!
Fantastic experience: I joined for personal trainer sessions as needed to loose weight and love it only at it a few months and already noticing the difference the coaches are lovely and very helpful I'd definitely recommend forge female fitness to any woman looking to get fitter/healthier
Thank you for trusting us with your journey towards fitness, Sinead! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your personal trainer sessions and noticing a difference. Your feedback about our coaches is much appreciated and we're happy to have you as part of our community!
Fantastic experience: 4 weeks into the “Bombshell” programme and loving it. So much fantastic help and support. Feeling better about myself than I’ve done in months. Thoroughly enjoying the classes and the small groups. This studio approach is unlike any gym I’ve been to the past. A real community and everyone pushes each other forward. Lots of craic and I look forward to going to each session. Thanks to everyone!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Rosemary! We are thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the “Bombshell” program and feeling better about yourself. It's great to know that our community feel and supportive environment are resonating with you. We look forward to seeing you at your next session!
Fantastic experience: A safe space where you are treated like family by coaches and members alike .. a totally different experience with daily support .. amazing !!
Thank you, Vivien! We're thrilled to hear that you feel at home with us. Providing a supportive and welcoming environment is our top priority. We look forward to continuing this amazing journey with you!
Fantastic experience: Since joining Forge not only do I feel fitter but my coaches have helped me gain in confidence to the extent that I had the courage to book a solo holiday and it won't be my last. Forge is not just a gym, it is a community. The coaches are excellent and they are invested in you fully. The classes are small so they can keep a close eye on you and help with your technique. I can't praise them highly enough and would encourage any ladies out there who are thinking about getting fitter to come to Forge. You won't regret it - I certainly don't.
Thank you for the 5-star rating, Ann! We adore coaching you and are loving watching you flourish!
Fantastic experience: It's an amazing workout and leaves you with a feeling of achievement ..that's a big thing, but for me, it's feeling like you belong. The individual care and support you get from amazing coaches and a great bunch of ladies just completes the whole circle. I never enjoyed exercise until I found these girls..(quite honestly, I think 'they' found 'me' ).
Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Andie! We're thrilled to hear that you've found a sense of belonging and support within our community. It’s wonderful to know that our coaches and members have made your workouts enjoyable. Your feedback inspires us to continue creating a welcoming environment for everyone!
Fantastic experience: Forge is so welcoming and everyone is so lovely. Great place to attend if you feel you don't know what you really need to be doing when it comes to training, classes are small and coaches and other members are always on hand to help. If you are anxious about taking those first steps, Forge is the place to do it!
Thank you for your kind words and the 5-star review, Louise! We're delighted to hear that you were comfortable with our coaches and found our environment welcoming. We look forward to seeing you achieve your fitness goals with us!
Fantastic experience: I have mobility issues and every PT Session is tailored to increase movement and build muscle to the weak and surrounding areas. Every session is explained in detail and adjusted to whatever level of mobility I’m currently at. My coach is so encouraging. She is very positive with everything that I’m doing and going through. She pushes me just enough when I might otherwise think ‘I can’t do it!’ But I genuinely think she knows better than me what my real limitations are and calls me out if I might try to slack! Lol I genuinely would say that the best thing I’ve ever done for myself is to message @forgefemalefitness. I was at a dead end and thought I’d never find a PT due to my mobility issues etc but these fabulous ladies have given me hope and encouragement. And I hope to be a PT client for a very long time
Thank you for your wonderful review, Rhonda. We are thrilled to hear that our personalised approach and supportive environment have made a positive impact on your journey towards improved mobility. We look forward to serving you for a long time and helping you achieve your personalised goals!
Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness is a fantastic gym . Everyone is so welcoming and friendly . The experienced coaches are professional , friendly and have a great sense of humour. This place is like a community where whatever your age or ability they make you feel like a valued member
Thank you so much for your kind words, Chloe! We work hard to create a positive environment and to make everyone feel welcome. We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying your time with us at Forge Female Fitness!
Fantastic experience: I joined forge female fitness back in May though the 10 day trial and what can I say, it's been fantastic! Although it has only before a couple of months I can see the changes in how I look and more importantly how my body and mind feel. Before forge I was guilty of starting a fitness class and not sticking with it for long but the friendly atmosphere of the gym, the variability of the classes and the knowledge and experience of the coaches have changed that! Through forge I have accountability and most importantly support and it has made me realise that I'm not lazy and that I can commit to (and enjoy) training and eating more mindfully - it's been a real confidence boost!
Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness is an amazing gym with very experienced, approachable and knowledgable coaches who encourage you and also believe in you making you believe in yourself and give you your confidence back. It is a family, a team and everyone is so friendly and encourages each other. I cannot emphasis how much they have done for me in the past 7 weeks where I am believing in myself again and with their encouragement I can do things I couldn't do before I walked through the doors. It is the best decision I made. I would recommend this gym to any female who wants to be encouraged to be the best they can be and get fit while being part of the Forge Family. I canning thank the coaches enough!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Suzanne! It's wonderful to hear your progress and enthusiasm as a member of the Forge Female Fitness family. Your success is our success, and we're excited to continue supporting you. Your encouraging words made our day!
Fantastic experience: I have been doing one to one with Jo Jo for seven months now. Over this time my body strength has increased and my endurance has improved. Jo Jo encourages me to keep attempting heavier weights and more reps but is never domineering. My body has toned up & I'm very pleased with the results so far. I can thoroughly recommend Forge and Jo Jo.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, Carol! We're thrilled to hear about the progress you've seen with Jo Jo's guidance. Your determination and hard work are showing great results. We're equally excited to continue supporting your fitness journey at Forge. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. It's more than a gym! It's a family. The coaches put their heart and soul into the classes and are always happy to help ❤️
We're thrilled to hear that you love being part of our Forge Female Fitness family, Paula! It's wonderful to know that you feel supported by our coaches. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: What can I say about Forge Female Fitness? Apart from it being voted NI Gym of the Year 2024, this studio IS amazing and has a real sense of community. Since starting peri menopause 3 years ago, I'd become out of shape, lost confidence and felt generally unhealthy. I needed a gym where I didn't feel self-conscious, could work at my own pace and just 'blend in'. The first morning I went through the doors of Forge, I knew immediately that I'd 100% made the right decision. The coaches, Grace, Jo Jo, Sarah and Vik are excellent at putting you at ease. What comes across most is that they actually really care about your health journey, and are so enthusiastic about keeping you on the right track. Not only do they provide a range of small group classes and personal training, they also have a comprehensive online education hub. Everything I could possibly want to know with regards to fitness, mindset, nutrition, recipes and lifestyle is on here. They also organise social events where I've got to know other gym members and learned some craft making skills. I have been a member of Forge now for 9 weeks and I love attending the classes. I am already feeling healthier and stronger, both physically and mentally and my self-esteem is improving. I've dropped 2 dress sizes which has been an added bonus. I highly recommend Forge Female Fitness. The coaches are professional, extremely encouraging and supportive, and there is always a bit of banter in class. The other female members are so welcoming, friendly, willing to help and positive to all us newbies. I really feel like part of a family and I'm excited to see where the next part of my journey with Forge takes me.
Thank you so much Gina, for sharing your experience at Forge Female Fitness! We're overjoyed to hear how satisfied you've been with our services.

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my time at the forge gym. The coaches are very knowledgable and supportive and are always there to offer help with technique or encouragement to try a heavier weight! The other gym members are also very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere overall is very welcoming and I always look forward to classes!

Fantastic experience: Walking into the Forge gym for the first time was the beginning of a monumental change for me personally. Any fears about gyms were quickly allayed by the coaches who are enthusiastic, motivational and inspiring to say the least. The other Forge members are encouraging and friendly, raising you up when you need it. You will be changed for the better by giving Forge Gym a chance! Not only will you feel better physically, growing in both strength and knowledge about how best to look after your body and mind, but also feel like the best version of yourself. Forge has been instrumental in helping me overcome a difficult stage in my life and learn to be an empowered, strong, independent, best version of me. There’s a reason why Forge won Gym of the Year!

Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness has been life changing for me. I never really attempted weights before but have been so motivated by the strength and the body shape that weight training is giving me. I am becoming leaner and stronger. But don’t worry - no massive muscles unless that’s what you want! There is a real sense of togetherness at the classes; we all support each other and build each other up. Exercising more, having more ‘me’ time (time in the gym where I can just be me, not mummy, partner, work colleague, etc) and being educated on mindset and nutrition has been massive for me. The coaches encourage/push you to realise your potential and they promote a positive mindset where you focus on the journey, not just your end goal. My mental health and wellbeing has improved too and I am loving being part of Forge Female Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend Forge Female Fitness. After my arm injury Grace adapted my exercises to help with my recovery and I gained more mobility and strength in my arm than I could ever have hoped for. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community of women who support each other.

Fantastic experience: Having had recent breast cancer treatment and surgery, and having lost muscle tone, tone, strength and mobility I needed to reverse all 3 losses in preparation for major surgery at some point in 2024. I contacted Forge after contact a friend Viktorija, who has since joined the coaching team. Everything she said was right. The door is open to anyone and everyone. There is no gym hierarchy, no divas, and the only competition is with ourselves, supported without question by the other tribe members. Friendships arhave been made easily and quickly, no matter how fit or strong others are compared to me. There are always laughs to be had, no matter who is in the class. We all learn from each other. The personal coaching in every group, and online follow up support on line really helps keep focus. No-one is left behind, someone will always pull you through, physically or emotionally. The new gym is great, new equipment, new programmes planned for maximum results, so everyone improves, gets stronger, more resilient, loses weight if that is their aim. Its a safe place to journey the path to a healthier lifestyle . Wouldn't get a better experience anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Joined to loose weight and tone up still on my journey with forge fitness and loving it really friendly girls and encourage you to get best out of you
Fantastic experience: Joined for a 12 week body transformation challenge having never set foot in a gym before - I have now been a member for over 6 months and I don't ever want to leave! Knowledgeable coaches who have come through their own weightloss/fitness journey and really care about your progress. Very supportive community of ladies - joining is the best thing I've done for my physical and mental health. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Joined in August 2023 & enjoy going to classes twice weekly(you can do more if wanted). Made very welcome by the coaches & other members from the outset. Small class numbers so it is like having your own personal trainer at all times & as a novice I was worried that it would be too much for me but everything is tailored to your own capabilities & speed so there is no pressure to “keep up”. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself & I’ve made friends with a great supportive bunch of ladies of all ages. If you are thinking about joining & are still unsure give the taster classes a try!

We appreciate your recommendation of our taster classes for anyone who may still be unsure about joining. We're here to help you continue on your fitness journey and make sure you're getting the most out of your workouts. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: An amazing community of women who support and motivate you, with truly inspirational best coaches who genuinely care about you. Their small group classes are so much fun, but also very personalised to you. There’s no where else I would recommend for any women looking to improve their health and wellness, AND their mindset. Positively life changing
Fantastic experience: Forge isn't just any gym - It's a group of amazing ladies led by the BEST female coaches. It empowers women to love and cherish themselves and helps you achieve best version of yourself
Fantastic experience: I have always hated gyms that is until my bestie convinced me to try The Forge. Well, all I can say is I now love going to the gym. The coaches are fantastic with all aspects of womans health and wellbeing and the craic with all the other ladies is amazing. Best gym ever
Fantastic experience: Women empowering women sums this gym up, so wonderful to be able to attend a female only gym. As a new member I have been made so welcome. The coaches are first class, always encouraging, always available & so committed to their clients.
Fantastic experience: Thee best place for training with fantastic coaches who really care….. Professional and so knowledgeable about all things fitness related and self care too. Love it ♥️
Fantastic experience: Great 1-1 sessions to help build confidence, Grace is very encouraging, knowledgeable and clearly enjoys coaching. Small and welcoming, challenging but very enjoyable. Support also from other coaches. Classes are well suited to your level, for anyone who would like to try a gym but is looking for something more personal it’s perfect.
Fantastic experience: Coaches are very professional with a huge depth of knowledge. They are very supportive and encouraging. They make you work as hard as you can, but you always leave smiling with a great sense of achievement. The small group classes are great and not at all intimidating!
Negative experience: Loved the look of what she does especially being a female and local... Contacted numerous times trying to book but was ignored. As hard to find a female PT and so local. Very disappointed in the lack of communication. So score is not a reflection on what she does as it looks great. Just at all messages being ignored even though all were read. Trying to reply, thanks for your reposne, no i never got a reply. I had messaged via WhatsApp and also wrote to ask for a reply on Instagram but was deleted. Thanks for your reply much appreciated. As your PT is one of the best I have seen.
Hi Maxine, we’re disappointed to read this review as your message was replied to, and we have just taken on two new clients after being fully booked up since re-opening. We always ask clients to check both spam and junk mail. We are happy to meet with you :-)
Fantastic experience: Coaches Grace and Assistant Coach Jojo offer tough, adaptable structured workouts for all levels of ability. During lockdown I have resumed training in a different capacity with the Forge and really enjoying both PT sessions and group sessions. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I only began classes a couple of weeks ago to try and maintain a high level of fitness through lockdown. Classes have been done through zoom and the coaches are all very supportive. Workouts are logged through apps and targets are set to ensure everyone is motivated. It's great to feel challenged and enjoy feeling part of a group.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy training with Grace, JoJo and Sarah. The classes have moved to being online and I’m probably exercising more than ever. I have really enjoyed getting back into fitness since I had my last child. Grace was also great whenever I was pregnant and kept me safe with exercises, but also kept me fit. Training in my living room via Zoom has now made things so easy, especially with not having to arrange childcare. Would definitely recommend people give it a go!!
Fantastic experience: Grace always provides a great workout, very enjoyable and hard work of course! It feels good to train and never the same session so the constant challenge is guaranteed! Kindness, strictness, professionalism and support appear together in the training sessions I can highly recommend
Fantastic experience: The best small gym I've ever used. You always feel like you have had a great workout. No matter what level your at its designed around you. Coaches are always there to help you even when not in gym. Just send them a message and they will get back to you
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Coach Grace, JoJo and Sarah are the loveliest bunch of girls, who go above and beyond to offer great personal training 1-1 or small groups and nutritional advice, Grace really knows her stuff and they make every single workout worth it, never did I see myself joining a gym but this place is worth every penny, they feel more like a big family with everyone being so welcoming and friendly #goteamforge
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Has that extra edge as a boutique gym. Fitness is accessible to everybody, regardless of shape, size, fitness level, age or ability. The classes are tailored to suit the individual needs. Affordable high spec gym meeting physical and nutritional needs with a ‘can do attitude’. Always welcoming and friendly. Above all always thinking outside of the box to keep things interesting and classes challenging. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the forge for over 2 years now and I keep going from strength to strength in my training. During these hard times in isolation the coaches have been great at creating ideas and keeping all their clients active by setting us challenges each day, as well as our minds with a fun coffee and quiz night. Also helping with montoring our eating habits Definitely would recommend the forge to anyone they are a great squad of coaches.
