How the free week works

  1. You send the form

    Or call. We ask two questions: when you can train, and whether anything hurts.

  2. You come in for a chat first

    Twenty minutes, no training, no kit needed. We show you round and find out what you actually want out of it.

  3. You train for a week, free

    Any sessions you like. A coach stays next to you for the first two.

  4. You decide at the end

    No card up front, nobody rings you afterwards, and if it is not for you then it is not for you.

Who coaches

The coaches

Swap the initials for real photographs. Add their actual qualifications — and only the ones they hold.

Mara Ellis

Owner · Strength

Opened Forge in 2019 after nine years coaching in commercial gyms and getting tired of rooms with ninety people in them.

Tobi Adeyemi

Coach · Conditioning

Runs the conditioning and Express 30 sessions. Former county-level sprinter, which explains a lot about the warm-ups.

Jess Nowak

Coach · Beginners

Takes every beginners session and most of the mobility work. Specialises in people who are convinced they are not a gym person.

What they say

Use real reviews, word for word, with permission. Delete these.

I had a gym membership for four years and went eleven times. I have been here every week since February because someone notices when I do not turn up.

— Chris D.

I told Jess on day one that I was going to be the worst person in the room. She said good, that is the easiest person to coach.

— Anita R.

Eight people means the coach actually watches you lift. I fixed a deadlift problem in a fortnight that I had had for three years.

— Danny O.

Questions

I have never lifted anything. Is this for me?
Yes, and the beginners sessions exist for exactly that. Most people arrive having not trained in years, or ever.
Do I need to book?
It helps, because sessions cap at eight. If there is a space when you turn up, you are in.
Is there really no contract?
No contract and no joining fee. Cancel from your account any time before the next payment date.
Something hurts. Can I still train?
Tell us before you start and we will work around it. We are coaches, not medical professionals — if it needs a doctor, we will say so.
What do I need to bring?
Trainers and a water bottle. That is genuinely it.
