Our Story

FORGE was born in 2018 from a simple belief: everyone deserves access to world-class fitness facilities and expert guidance to reach their full potential. What started as a 5,000 square foot facility with a handful of members has grown into a 15,000 square foot fitness destination serving over 5,000 active members.

Founded by former professional athletes Marcus Steel and Sarah Chen, FORGE was created to bridge the gap between commercial gyms and elite training facilities. We wanted to create a space where everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned athletes—could train alongside each other, learn from certified experts, and be part of a community that genuinely cares about their success.

Today, FORGE stands as a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. We've helped thousands of people transform not just their bodies, but their entire lives. Our members have lost weight, built muscle, competed in their first races, recovered from injuries, and discovered strength they never knew they had.

But we're just getting started. Every day, we're refining our craft, expanding our offerings, and finding new ways to help our community forge their best selves.
