Free Weights Floor
20,000 sq ft of iron. Barbells from 10kg to 50kg, dumbbells to 100kg, competition-spec plates. Space to move, space to breathe, space to lift heavy.
FORGE FIT- NESS.
Where strength is built. Cardiff Bay’s hardcore training facility — 24 racks, open 7 days, no excuses.
02 — WHAT WE DO
The training floor.
Strength Coaching
Work with coaches who have competed, not just certified. Programme design, technique correction, and the honest feedback that actually moves the needle.
Powerlifting
Dedicated powerlifting platform with competition-spec mono-lift, Texas power bars, and calibrated plates. Compete-ready kit for serious numbers.
HIIT Classes
Forty-five minutes of high-intensity conditioning designed around barbell and kettlebell work. Not circuits for circuits’ sake — everything builds toward strength.
Nutrition Coaching
No shakes, no shortcuts. Evidence-based nutrition to support your training goals. Calorie targets, food choice, and practical eating strategies that fit your life.
Open Gym
Fob access from day one. Come in early, stay late. No peak-hour restrictions, no time-limits on your sets. Your membership, your schedule.
04 — THE FORGE MANIFESTO
No excuses. No mirrors on the ceiling. Just iron and intent.
We built this place for people who show up to work. Chalk on the bar, weight on the rack, one more rep when it counts. If that’s you, the doors are already open.
05 — THE COUNT
Measured in iron.

I’ve trained in commercial gyms for twelve years. Nothing comes close to this floor. The equipment, the atmosphere, the coaching — Forge is the real thing.”
Hit my first competition total here. The powerlifting platform is competition-spec and the coaching is brutally good. Wouldn’t prep anywhere else.”
