Powerlifting, barbell mechanics
“I don't care how heavy you start. I care that you show up and add a plate.”
Coach-led strength and conditioning in exactly 45 minutes. No guesswork, no wasted reps — just the hardest, most efficient hour (minus fifteen) of your day.
Four ways to burn
Same 45 minutes, four different fires. Every session is programmed by our coaches and scales from day-one beginner to seasoned lifter.
Book in seconds
Classes cap at 16 so every athlete gets eyes on their form — which means the good slots vanish fast. Lock yours in right here. No account needed to look.

Powerlifting, barbell mechanics
“I don't care how heavy you start. I care that you show up and add a plate.”
Engine work, intervals, rowing
“The clock is the only thing that decides when you stop. Not your head.”
Olympic lifts, gymnastics skills
“Strength is a skill. We drill it until it stops being a question.”
Movement, recovery, breath
“Recovery isn't the day off. It's the work that lets you keep working.”

From the floor
I booked a Forge class on a Tuesday whim and never left. 45 minutes, in and out before work, and I'm deadlifting more than I ever have.
The booking takes literally three taps. I see a spot, I grab it, I show up. No app maze, no calling, no 'we'll text you back.'
First gym where a coach actually knows my name and what I lifted last week. Ignite wrecks me in the best way. Worth every cent.
I came in a total beginner, terrified of the barbell. Six months later I'm coaching my partner through their first squat. This place changes people.

Before you book
Yes — over 40% of the people who walk in are first-timers. Every movement scales, every class is coach-led, and your first session is a free intro where we teach you the ropes before you touch a barbell.
