02 – The FORGE method
Not a gym.
A system.
Most gyms sell you access. We sell you a plan – and a coach who makes sure you follow it.
- Free Foundations onboarding. Three 1:1 sessions to learn the lifts and set baselines.
- 6-week test cycles. Every block ends with a re-test so you see the needle move.
- Max 14 per class (Strength capped at 12). Two coaches on the floor when we hit 10+.
- App-tracked progress. Every lift, time and PR logged in the FORGE app.
03 – Transformation stories
Proof,
not promises.
Real members, real timelines, shared with permission. No filters, no crash diets – just consistent training.
