About Forge Fitness

Forge Fitness is a not for profit community gym. We believe everyone should have a safe place to train, build confidence and feel part of a supportive community.

Our gym is friendly, inclusive and open to all ages and abilities. We help people get stronger, healthier and more active through simple, effective training that works.

We also run the Phoenix Project. This programme gives people support through fitness, mentoring and a safe place to grow. 

Many of the people we help struggle with confidence, bullying, anxiety or barriers caused by disability. Training with us helps fund this work.

The Phoenix Project

The Phoenix Project is the heart of our charity work. It supports young people aged 6 to 18 who need help with confidence, mental health and life challenges.

We help young people who face:

Bullying

Bullying is the misuse of power, while true strength is shown through respect and support.

Low confidence

Low confidence is self-doubt that holds you back from reaching your true strength.

Anxiety

Anxiety creates fear and tension, but movement and training help restore control.

Disabilities

Disabilities deserve inclusive spaces that empower confidence and independence.

Social challenges

Social challenges can affect confidence, but supportive environments help build connection.

Limited opportunities at home

Limited home opportunities can hold potential back without the right external support.

How we support them:

Fitness sessions

Guided fitness sessions that support physical health and mental well-being.

Mentoring and guidance

Supportive guidance that encourages growth both inside and outside the gym.

A safe, non judgemental space

A welcoming environment where everyone is respected, supported, and accepted.

Building life skills and confidence

Developing essential life skills while strengthening confidence and self-belief.

Encouraging positive habits and routines

Fostering healthy habits and consistent routines for long-term growth.
