Forge Female Fitness

Fantastic experience: The women are so welcoming, even though the workouts are tough physically there is a lot of support and openness about the experience the individuals have The support comes from the other clients and the coaches

Fantastic experience: Head Coach Jojo has been an amazing support to me since joining FORGE Female Fitness. I have several serious health issues and never expected to be able to attend personal training. Jojo has made this possible as she adapts all the workout plans around my capabilities whilst still making me work hard. I have gained strength, lost weight and now have a much broader knowledge of food, recipes and weight loss. Thank you so much Jojo

Fantastic experience: I joined for personal trainer sessions as needed to loose weight and love it only at it a few months and already noticing the difference the coaches are lovely and very helpful I'd definitely recommend forge female fitness to any woman looking to get fitter/healthier

Fantastic experience: 4 weeks into the “Bombshell” programme and loving it. So much fantastic help and support. Feeling better about myself than I’ve done in months. Thoroughly enjoying the classes and the small groups. This studio approach is unlike any gym I’ve been to the past. A real community and everyone pushes each other forward. Lots of craic and I look forward to going to each session. Thanks to everyone!

Fantastic experience: A safe space where you are treated like family by coaches and members alike .. a totally different experience with daily support .. amazing !!

Fantastic experience: Since joining Forge not only do I feel fitter but my coaches have helped me gain in confidence to the extent that I had the courage to book a solo holiday and it won't be my last. Forge is not just a gym, it is a community. The coaches are excellent and they are invested in you fully. The classes are small so they can keep a close eye on you and help with your technique. I can't praise them highly enough and would encourage any ladies out there who are thinking about getting fitter to come to Forge. You won't regret it - I certainly don't.

Fantastic experience: It's an amazing workout and leaves you with a feeling of achievement ..that's a big thing, but for me, it's feeling like you belong. The individual care and support you get from amazing coaches and a great bunch of ladies just completes the whole circle. I never enjoyed exercise until I found these girls..(quite honestly, I think 'they' found 'me' ).

Fantastic experience: Forge is so welcoming and everyone is so lovely. Great place to attend if you feel you don't know what you really need to be doing when it comes to training, classes are small and coaches and other members are always on hand to help. If you are anxious about taking those first steps, Forge is the place to do it!

Fantastic experience: I have mobility issues and every PT Session is tailored to increase movement and build muscle to the weak and surrounding areas. Every session is explained in detail and adjusted to whatever level of mobility I’m currently at. My coach is so encouraging. She is very positive with everything that I’m doing and going through. She pushes me just enough when I might otherwise think ‘I can’t do it!’ But I genuinely think she knows better than me what my real limitations are and calls me out if I might try to slack! Lol I genuinely would say that the best thing I’ve ever done for myself is to message @forgefemalefitness. I was at a dead end and thought I’d never find a PT due to my mobility issues etc but these fabulous ladies have given me hope and encouragement. And I hope to be a PT client for a very long time

Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness is a fantastic gym . Everyone is so welcoming and friendly . The experienced coaches are professional , friendly and have a great sense of humour. This place is like a community where whatever your age or ability they make you feel like a valued member

Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness is an amazing gym with very experienced, approachable and knowledgable coaches who encourage you and also believe in you making you believe in yourself and give you your confidence back. It is a family, a team and everyone is so friendly and encourages each other. I cannot emphasis how much they have done for me in the past 7 weeks where I am believing in myself again and with their encouragement I can do things I couldn't do before I walked through the doors. It is the best decision I made. I would recommend this gym to any female who wants to be encouraged to be the best they can be and get fit while being part of the Forge Family. I canning thank the coaches enough!

Fantastic experience: I joined forge female fitness back in May though the 10 day trial and what can I say, it's been fantastic! Although it has only before a couple of months I can see the changes in how I look and more importantly how my body and mind feel. Before forge I was guilty of starting a fitness class and not sticking with it for long but the friendly atmosphere of the gym, the variability of the classes and the knowledge and experience of the coaches have changed that! Through forge I have accountability and most importantly support and it has made me realise that I'm not lazy and that I can commit to (and enjoy) training and eating more mindfully - it's been a real confidence boost!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing one to one with Jo Jo for seven months now. Over this time my body strength has increased and my endurance has improved. Jo Jo encourages me to keep attempting heavier weights and more reps but is never domineering. My body has toned up & I'm very pleased with the results so far. I can thoroughly recommend Forge and Jo Jo.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. It's more than a gym! It's a family. The coaches put their heart and soul into the classes and are always happy to help ❤️

Fantastic experience: What can I say about Forge Female Fitness? Apart from it being voted NI Gym of the Year 2024, this studio IS amazing and has a real sense of community. Since starting peri menopause 3 years ago, I'd become out of shape, lost confidence and felt generally unhealthy. I needed a gym where I didn't feel self-conscious, could work at my own pace and just 'blend in'. The first morning I went through the doors of Forge, I knew immediately that I'd 100% made the right decision. The coaches, Grace, Jo Jo, Sarah and Vik are excellent at putting you at ease. What comes across most is that they actually really care about your health journey, and are so enthusiastic about keeping you on the right track. Not only do they provide a range of small group classes and personal training, they also have a comprehensive online education hub. Everything I could possibly want to know with regards to fitness, mindset, nutrition, recipes and lifestyle is on here. They also organise social events where I've got to know other gym members and learned some craft making skills. I have been a member of Forge now for 9 weeks and I love attending the classes. I am already feeling healthier and stronger, both physically and mentally and my self-esteem is improving. I've dropped 2 dress sizes which has been an added bonus. I highly recommend Forge Female Fitness. The coaches are professional, extremely encouraging and supportive, and there is always a bit of banter in class. The other female members are so welcoming, friendly, willing to help and positive to all us newbies. I really feel like part of a family and I'm excited to see where the next part of my journey with Forge takes me.

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my time at the forge gym. The coaches are very knowledgable and supportive and are always there to offer help with technique or encouragement to try a heavier weight! The other gym members are also very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere overall is very welcoming and I always look forward to classes!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym ! Great coaches who always encourage you to do your best Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Walking into the Forge gym for the first time was the beginning of a monumental change for me personally. Any fears about gyms were quickly allayed by the coaches who are enthusiastic, motivational and inspiring to say the least. The other Forge members are encouraging and friendly, raising you up when you need it. You will be changed for the better by giving Forge Gym a chance! Not only will you feel better physically, growing in both strength and knowledge about how best to look after your body and mind, but also feel like the best version of yourself. Forge has been instrumental in helping me overcome a difficult stage in my life and learn to be an empowered, strong, independent, best version of me. There’s a reason why Forge won Gym of the Year! Best decision ever to walk into the purple Forge Gym of champions!!

Fantastic experience: For someone who was scared and nervous when I first joined I really loved attending the different classes. I found the gym, coaches and all members of forge so friendly welcoming and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: Amazing group of coaches and of women coming together to lead a healthier life. Such a supportive and non judgemental space.

Fantastic experience: The team at Forge Female Fitness right from the first phone chat made me feel welcomed, they are an enthusiastic bunch who really do care about the individual women they coach its not all about the training.

Fantastic experience: I've joined Forge recently after winning a months gym membership. I've joined other gyms in the past but this is totally different. The group of ladies across the board are just so lovely, down to earth and very friendly. You are just accepted as you are, the encouragement and support is amazing. I would highly recommend this unique tribe of gym ladies to everyone! It's the total deal, mindset, nutrition, motivation, encouragement, positivity, goal setting and mostly fun

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for just over six weeks and can already tell it's changing me for the better - am stronger physically and mentally. The most supportive community led by legendary ladies who empower each of us across strength, flexibility, nutrition and mindset. This is not 'just a gym' where you are a number, it is so much more. I cant wait to see where 2024 takes me in this crew!

Fantastic experience: Amazing group of women! So supportive and helpful For the first time in forever, I enjoy working out! Forge has helped me to do things I thought I never could. The only gym/studio I've been to that feels like they care about you! Great fun, yet challenging, Thank you

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with forge for the last 6 months…wish I had started sooner! It’s more than a gym, it’s an investment in your physical and mental health. The coaches have a wealth of lived experiences and genuinely want to help you achieve your goals be it fitness, strength or weight loss.

Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness is amazing, top equipment and great environment. Friendly staff and excellent training. Everyone is made welcome from beginners(that’s me) to more advanced, training sessions are tailored to meet and enhance your abilities. They offer a free week trial…. CHECK IT OUT

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, with the best ladies around. Great Coaches always there to help in any way and push you in the gym to do your best..

Fantastic experience: Forge Female Fitness has been life changing for me. I never really attempted weights before but have been so motivated by the strength and the body shape that weight training is giving me. I am becoming leaner and stronger. But don’t worry - no massive muscles unless that’s what you want! There is a real sense of togetherness at the classes; we all support each other and build each other up. Exercising more, having more ‘me’ time (time in the gym where I can just be me, not mummy, partner, work colleague, etc) and being educated on mindset and nutrition has been massive for me. The coaches encourage/push you to realise your potential and they promote a positive mindset where you focus on the journey, not just your end goal. My mental health and wellbeing has improved too and I am loving being part of Forge Female Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend Forge Female Fitness. After my arm injury Grace adapted my exercises to help with my recovery and I gained more mobility and strength in my arm than I could ever have hoped for. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community of women who support each other.

Fantastic experience: Love the classes, so tough but so enjoyable! The expertise and knowledge the coaches have shared is invaluable in helping me to understand and apply what I've learned. Being surrounded by such positivity from coaches and fellow members is so fulfilling. Definitely give Forge Female Fitness a try!

Fantastic experience: The single best thing I ever did for myself was join the Forge! Coaches understand the journey and are so good at encouraging you to be your best self. Couldn't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Forge Female Fitness for 5 years. It was the best decision I've ever made, and working with Grace, JoJo and Sarah has taught me so much about the value of training with weights and how to manage my food choices. The friendships you make with the other clients and witnessing everyone else's journey and triumphs is an added bonus. With the new gym setup Forge Female Fitness is building a fantastic community of support for women.

Fantastic experience: Forge where ladies build up one another, their fitness, their strength, their body image, their confidence in and of themselves. Where the coaches go above and beyond to ensure you reach your true potential and in doing so change not only your life, but your families by changing your mindset in and around food and exercise and building nit only more physically fit ladies but mentally fit also. I can't recommend them highly enough

Fantastic experience: Great to be part of the Female Forge Ladies Family, it’s a great company of ladies, supporting each other and the coaches are all so knowledgeable and encouraging. If you have any injuries or pain the coaches are at hand to alter the exercise routines. I would highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Forge Female Fitness! Head coach Grace and coach Jojo go above and beyond for their clients. Both coaches are extremely professional and knowledgeable. A clean and friendly environment for woman who want to empower other woman. I have been a member of forge for 5 months now and it’s definitely unlike any other gym I’ve ever been in. The results from their clients speak for themselves. An amazing studio with amazing coaches

Fantastic experience: Forge coaches are professional and knowledgeable and I’m happy to recommend them to anyone thinking of joining this women’s gym. After 3 months with Forge I’m feeling much fitter and healthier and I’m so glad I made the decision to join. Classes are different every time so it always feels fresh and challenging. I highly recommend taking up the offer of the free trial week and giving it a go. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: The Forge is a kind, friendly and encouraging place for anyone to invest in their health and wellness - not just a gym or somewhere to get fit and in shape or with help losing weight - it’s a place of inspiration to learn all the tools you need for a healthy life. The coaches are knowledgable and have so many resources to help guide you whatever your goals are. They have massively helped me with my goals, I’ve been challenged and encouraged to more than I thought I was capable. The environment is super uplifting, chill and KIND. It’s social and everyone is focusing on their own goals and just wants to see you win. I wish I joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Coaches Grace and JoJo have established a welcoming, and inclusive women’s weights gym. You don’t need to have any prior gym experience, you can go as an absolute novice and achieve results that exceed your expectations. There is expert training tailored to you and positive encouragement for progress. Five Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Joined to loose weight and tone up still on my journey with forge fitness and loving it really friendly girls and encourage you to get best out of you

Fantastic experience: Joined for a 12 week body transformation challenge having never set foot in a gym before - I have now been a member for over 6 months and I don't ever want to leave! Knowledgeable coaches who have come through their own weightloss/fitness journey and really care about your progress. Very supportive community of ladies - joining is the best thing I've done for my physical and mental health. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Joined in August 2023 & enjoy going to classes twice weekly(you can do more if wanted). Made very welcome by the coaches & other members from the outset. Small class numbers so it is like having your own personal trainer at all times & as a novice I was worried that it would be too much for me but everything is tailored to your own capabilities & speed so there is no pressure to “keep up”. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself & I’ve made friends with a great supportive bunch of ladies of all ages. If you are thinking about joining & are still unsure give the taster classes a try!

Fantastic experience: An amazing community of women who support and motivate you, with truly inspirational best coaches who genuinely care about you. Their small group classes are so much fun, but also very personalised to you. There’s no where else I would recommend for any women looking to improve their health and wellness, AND their mindset. Positively life changing

Fantastic experience: Having had recent breast cancer treatment and surgery, and having lost muscle tone, tone, strength and mobility I needed to reverse all 3 losses in preparation for major surgery at some point in 2024. I contacted Forge after contact a friend Viktorija, who has since joined the coaching team. Everything she said was right. The door is open to anyone and everyone. There is no gym hierarchy, no divas, and the only competition is with ourselves, supported without question by the other tribe members. Friendships arhave been made easily and quickly, no matter how fit or strong others are compared to me. There are always laughs to be had, no matter who is in the class. We all learn from each other. The personal coaching in every group, and online follow up support on line really helps keep focus. No-one is left behind, someone will always pull you through, physically or emotionally. The new gym is great, new equipment, new programmes planned for maximum results, so everyone improves, gets stronger, more resilient, loses weight if that is their aim. Its a safe place to journey the path to a healthier lifestyle . Wouldn't get a better experience anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Forge isn't just any gym - It's a group of amazing ladies led by the BEST female coaches. It empowers women to love and cherish themselves and helps you achieve best version of yourself

Fantastic experience: Forge has been a fantastic experience and I am very happy i have joined the coaches really work well with each client with what they are comfortable with and will push you to your best capability... would highly recommend forge female fitness

Fantastic experience: I have always hated gyms that is until my bestie convinced me to try The Forge. Well, all I can say is I now love going to the gym. The coaches are fantastic with all aspects of womans health and wellbeing and the craic with all the other ladies is amazing. Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: Women empowering women sums this gym up, so wonderful to be able to attend a female only gym. As a new member I have been made so welcome. The coaches are first class, always encouraging, always available & so committed to their clients.

Fantastic experience: Thee best place for training with fantastic coaches who really care….. Professional and so knowledgeable about all things fitness related and self care too. Love it ♥️

Fantastic experience: Great 1-1 sessions to help build confidence, Grace is very encouraging, knowledgeable and clearly enjoys coaching. Small and welcoming, challenging but very enjoyable. Support also from other coaches. Classes are well suited to your level, for anyone who would like to try a gym but is looking for something more personal it’s perfect.

Fantastic experience: Coaches are very professional with a huge depth of knowledge. They are very supportive and encouraging. They make you work as hard as you can, but you always leave smiling with a great sense of achievement. The small group classes are great and not at all intimidating!

Negative experience: Loved the look of what she does especially being a female and local... Contacted numerous times trying to book but was ignored. As hard to find a female PT and so local. Very disappointed in the lack of communication. So score is not a reflection on what she does as it looks great. Just at all messages being ignored even though all were read. Trying to reply, thanks for your reposne, no i never got a reply. I had messaged via WhatsApp and also wrote to ask for a reply on Instagram but was deleted. Thanks for your reply much appreciated. As your PT is one of the best I have seen.

Fantastic experience: Coaches Grace and Assistant Coach Jojo offer tough, adaptable structured workouts for all levels of ability. During lockdown I have resumed training in a different capacity with the Forge and really enjoying both PT sessions and group sessions. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I only began classes a couple of weeks ago to try and maintain a high level of fitness through lockdown. Classes have been done through zoom and the coaches are all very supportive. Workouts are logged through apps and targets are set to ensure everyone is motivated. It's great to feel challenged and enjoy feeling part of a group.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy training with Grace, JoJo and Sarah. The classes have moved to being online and I’m probably exercising more than ever. I have really enjoyed getting back into fitness since I had my last child. Grace was also great whenever I was pregnant and kept me safe with exercises, but also kept me fit. Training in my living room via Zoom has now made things so easy, especially with not having to arrange childcare. Would definitely recommend people give it a go!!

Fantastic experience: Grace always provides a great workout, very enjoyable and hard work of course! It feels good to train and never the same session so the constant challenge is guaranteed! Kindness, strictness, professionalism and support appear together in the training sessions I can highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best small gym I've ever used. You always feel like you have had a great workout. No matter what level your at its designed around you. Coaches are always there to help you even when not in gym. Just send them a message and they will get back to you

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Coach Grace, JoJo and Sarah are the loveliest bunch of girls, who go above and beyond to offer great personal training 1-1 or small groups and nutritional advice, Grace really knows her stuff and they make every single workout worth it, never did I see myself joining a gym but this place is worth every penny, they feel more like a big family with everyone being so welcoming and friendly #goteamforge

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the forge for over 2 years now and I keep going from strength to strength in my training. During these hard times in isolation the coaches have been great at creating ideas and keeping all their clients active by setting us challenges each day, as well as our minds with a fun coffee and quiz night. Also helping with montoring our eating habits Definitely would recommend the forge to anyone they are a great squad of coaches.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Has that extra edge as a boutique gym. Fitness is accessible to everybody, regardless of shape, size, fitness level, age or ability. The classes are tailored to suit the individual needs. Affordable high spec gym meeting physical and nutritional needs with a ‘can do attitude’. Always welcoming and friendly. Above all always thinking outside of the box to keep things interesting and classes challenging. Would highly recommend.
