Another way to move
Add life to your years.
Forge is a new workout programme built to help you stay strong, capable and confident in your body, so you can keep doing the things that matter to you.
Whatever matters to you
Training for life outside the gym…
- For carrying your bags up the stairs.
- For another season on the slopes.
- For keeping up on the tennis court.
- For picking up your grandchildren.
- For travelling wherever you want to go.
- For signing up to a running race with your family.
- For feeling like yourself.
Our approach
Designed around you.
We built a safe and progressive exercise programme, designed around you.
Safe by design
Our programme is designed by a physiotherapist. Before starting anything, you will go through an assessment so we can understand your health, fitness level, injuries and everyday niggles. Whatever your starting point, we'll help you start safely and progress with confidence.
Science-backed
We bring together the types of exercise that matter most for lifelong health, based on the latest evidence. Not over optimised, not too gentle, just the right dose.
With your community
We believe movement should be practised together. You get expert coaching and a programme tailored to your level, alongside people who make turning up something to look forward to.
How it works
You don't need to be fit to start.
You just need to start.
1-to-1 assessment
We'll talk through your health, goals, assess how you currently move, and any pain or injuries. You'll leave with a personalised report and a clear recommendation for where to start.
1 month trial
If you're a beginner, you'll join a small group and learn the fundamental movements that form the foundation of Forge training. We'll help you build confidence, learn good technique and see progress.
If you're more advanced, you'll have a month to try the different Forge classes and decide if it is right for you.
Ongoing group training
After your first 4 weeks, we'll recommend the membership and classes best suited to your level, health and goals.
What we assess
Six areas. One plan for you.
Your 1-to-1 assessment looks at six areas of how you move. Your coach uses them to find where you start and how you progress.
Balance
How steady you are on your feet.
Trained in Control
Mobility
How freely your joints move.
Trained in Control
Stability
The control around your joints.
Trained in Control
Strength
The muscle you use in everyday life.
Trained in Lift
Bones
Your bone health.
Trained in Lift
Cardio
Your heart, lungs and stamina.
Trained in Pulse
The classes
Start with the basics. Then train for life.
Beginners start with Foundation. Then there are three types of class, and we recommend the mix that suits you.
Where you start
Foundation
Learn the fundamental movements in a small group, at your pace, before the regular classes.
Balance and mobility
Control
Balance, joint mobility and the deep muscles that keep you stable, to help protect your joints.
Strength
Lift
Strength for the movements of everyday life: squats, lunges, pushes, pulls and hinges. It also supports your bones.
Cardio
Pulse
Steady cardio for your heart, lungs and stamina.
Expertise you can trust
The people behind the programme.
Forge brings together expertise across movement, physiotherapy and medicine to create a programme that's safe, effective and built for the long term.

Appoline is a physiotherapist and former elite tennis player who represented the French junior national team. Her physio experience spans supporting national Olympic track cycling teams to training Ines's parents.
What our members say
In their words.
“The biggest difference is how I feel outside of class. I have more energy, I feel stronger playing tennis, and I'm much less worried about what my body will be able to do as I get older.”
Edith “I had chronic pain in my legs. It completely disappeared after Forge training.”
Ghandi “Forge taught me to think of movement as a skill I can keep improving. The classes are genuinely fun and engaging, thanks to the amazing team.”
John “I have severe osteoporosis, it is really scary. Forge gives me the peace of mind that I'm doing the best training to avoid falls and strengthen my bones.”
