A four-box performance gym for people who showed up. Daily programmed workouts, hand-built strength cycles, and Hyrox-spec conditioning - coached by athletes who race the same races you do. No mirrors. No dumbbell pyramid posts. Just a barbell, a rower, and the next set.
Programmed in twelve-week strength cycles with a Hyrox-spec conditioning spine. Every coach delivers the same session, every box, every day - so if you train in Shoreditch on Monday and Hackney on Wednesday, you haven't broken the cycle. Today's session is live below.
Stack them however you like. The simplest week is three Forge sessions and two Hyrox - a coach will write yours on your second visit. Every class runs at every box, every day, with the same coaching standard. No franchise wobble.
The session that built the place. Twelve minutes of programmed strength, twenty of conditioning, the rest written by the coach in the room that morning. If you only do one class a week, do this.
Compromised running, on tired legs, against the eight Hyrox stations. We're an official Hyrox training facility - we own the sleds, the sandbags and the spec wall balls. Race a sim every fourth week.
Squat, press, deadlift, clean - four lifts, twelve weeks, written against your last test day. Tempo work in week two, doubles in week six, singles in week ten. A coach will spot every PR. Bring chalk.
The 6am session. Rowers, bikes, runners, a stopwatch and a coach. No barbells, no skill cap, no excuses. The fastest way to a four hundred watt FTP without staring at a screen.
Every coach on the floor has competed in the discipline they teach. Three Hyrox Elites, two CrossFit Regionals, one Olympic weightlifting coach with a hand on every novice lifter. They write the program together every Sunday night. No one freelances a session.

No annual contracts, no enrolment fees, no day-pass scams. Pay by the month or pay for the year and bank two free. Founders - the first forty in - locked their rate in 2017 and keep it forever.
Seven days, every box, every class, no card on file. We'll text you the night before your first one, put you with the head coach for the class you booked, and write your second-visit plan on a sheet of paper before you leave the floor.
We don't print it on the wall because everyone signs it on the way in. Six lines. Break one and Rae will have a quiet word. Break two and we'll have a louder one.
CHALK BACK.
Plates back, bars cradled, chalk knocked off. Last one off the floor sweeps.
FORM OVER FILM.
Lift the weight, not the camera. Filming sparring sets needs a coach's nod.
SCALE EARLY.
Ego is heavier than the bar and slower to recover. Scaled is logged the same.
ARRIVE ON TIME.
We start with a warm-up for a reason. After 5 past, you wait for the next slot.
LOG THE SCORE.
RX, scaled or RX+. The board is for everyone, not just the leader-time.
CHEER LAST.
The last one finishing gets the loudest room. Stand up. Mean it.
Six things every new member asks at the door, so you don't have to. Anything else - hello@forge04.com - we read every email.
Good. Strength runs an Onramp every two weeks - four sessions, £0 if you're on the trial week. By the end you'll squat, hinge, press and clean with a coach watching every rep.
If you can jog 5km without stopping, you're fit enough for our Hyrox class. The sim is harder. We coach pacing, transitions and station spec - come along, we'll scale on the day.
Whichever's closest to your kettle. Membership opens every door - most people use two boxes a week. Shoreditch is loudest, Bermondsey is biggest, Hackney is the early-doors crowd.
Tell the coach at the door, every visit, every time. Dr. Patel runs a free 15-minute physio screen with every annual membership and a discounted one with monthly. We modify, never just substitute.
Yes, up to eight weeks a year, no questions, no fees. Just email us. We don't believe in punishing people for getting on with their life.
Yes - loud, but friendly. We do a members-only social second Friday of the month and a Saturday brunch after the 09:00 Forge. New members go on the t-shirt list automatically.
