"Coach Grace you have made my bloody year !! I think you are my angel in disguise. I am really proud that you see in me that drive that some people even doctors think I don’t possess anymore. I haven’t had the easiest road to finding you but boy am I dam proud to be part of Forge. I feel a million times better now, and can deal with the painful days by pushing on with even more of a positive attitude because of the coaches and the Forge community. Feeling normal is all I strive for and as I meet different women at each Forge class I attend that’s exactly how I am treated the minute I roll in the door. Thank you, as you have saved my mental health as well as made me believe in my body again!"

"Thank you Forge coaches from the bottom of my heart. You invest so much into each and every woman belonging to Forge. You've changed my life so much I can't begin to explain. You inspire, you lead, you care, you support, you all change the lives of each and every woman who comes to Forge always for the better. Now you've started a change in me also, I'm being to see the person I'd lost, so deep within me, slowly re-emerge. You lit a fire under me and with your help I am going to keep that going to see how much more I can grow in physical and mental strength."

"I am so grateful for you, Coach JoJo and Sarah, and all at the Forge. It has been a blessing to me since I joined in a few months ago. I have felt lifted inside because as a busy mum who carries a lot of the home stuff as well as working part time, and someone who is a giver so at times I don't prioritise myself. I have appreciated the sessions as time to give some priority to my health, mind and body. A time for me. I love what you have been creating at the Forge, a place for women to come as they are, be accepted and welcomed in despite all our difference ages, stages and lives. Thank you for all that you do to help me and the others at Forge."

"Since joining you have made me feel so welcome. I support family members with mental health struggles and I am a worrier, this was the reason I decided to join in the summer, to have some self-care time and look after myself more. I can honestly say the truly amazing, genuine coaching is the reason I keep coming back to class. When I’m there, there is nothing else in my mind but doing the exercises and I escape the worry in my mind. I thank you for that. Please keep on doing what you are doing, you have built something so unique and life changing."

Sarah Sandford

"I'm excited for now and the future, because all the education you are giving me is working, and it’s a formula I know how to keep going. I'm learning so much about healthy portions, the importance of protein, and also eating regularly. I feel really good physically, I've lost 10lbs already in 6 weeks, and my trousers are a little bigger! Training in the studio the movements have become easier, and I am feeling so much stronger! Also a massive thank you to all 3 of you coaches for the resources and time you put in and the community you have built, it’s powerful!"

FAQ

What is small group personal training?

There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to health and fitness but there are many mood boosting social benefits that come from group exercise, so we are pleased to offer the best of both worlds with our Small Group Personal Training sessions. With session numbers capped at 12 ladies, each attendee can receive tailored support and individualised instruction throughout the session, whilst enjoying the fun and motivation that comes from exercising alongside like-minded people, even if fitness levels within the group are varied.

Do you offer 1:1 personal training?

We have limited 1:1 personal training availability, due to often being fully booked, so it's best to enquire via our dedicated personal training page.

What happens at the 10 day trial?

Our 10 day trial is just £10 and gives you access to 5 classes to experience the vibe of our tribe and see for yourself how inspiring our environment is, how in-depth and unique our ladies coaching is, and feel the warmth of a truly uplifting community.
