Over the weekend we took a squad of 20 Forge members up to in Coleraine, and for every single one of them, it was their first ever time picking up a padel racket.

Of course we had to choose Powerhouse because of their purple courts 💜🤙🏻

Massive thank you to the team at Powerhouse who looked after us so well from start to finish 🙌

And honestly? Every single member had an absolute ball. So much so that loads of the crew have already bought their own rackets and are booking in for lessons! 😂

And it doesn’t stop there... 👀

We’re now launching our very own FORGE PADEL LEAGUE 🏆
 📅 Starting October 🗓️ Running for 8 weeks 🎉 Grand finale in December

This is exactly what The Forge is about. We’re not just a gym, we introduce our members to new sports, new challenges, new ideas and so much more.

Seeing our members step outside their comfort zone, try something completely new and absolutely love it? That’s what makes us proud.

Watch this space for league details, it’s going to be a big one. 👊

Five days. Over 100km on foot. A lot of hills! And today our incredible member Christine walked into Santiago de Compostela, completing the Camino de Santiago as part of the Sarcoma Cancer Ireland fundraising team.

Christine took on this challenge in memory of her late husband Robert, who fought Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma with incredible courage. We know Robert would be so incredibly proud of your spirit and determination undertaking this epic challenge!

One day's final 7km was entirely uphill... and she powered through it. Months of consistent strength and cardio training, showing up exactly when it mattered.

Christine, the whole Forge family is so proud of you. This is what training is really for, to prepare you for any challenge that comes your way.

She's raised over €3,800 for Sarcoma Cancer Ireland so far, if you'd like to help her push even higher, here's her page 👇

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.’ 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The kids are back at school.

The nights are drawing in.

And it’s tempting to pull on a baggy jumper, cancel the plans, and tell yourself you’ll sort your health out “when things settle down.”

You tell yourself the same things every year….

“I don’t have time.” Neither did the 200+ women training with us right now, until they had a schedule built around their actual life, and they prioritised their self-care for 2-3 hours per week, because when a woman is happier in herself, her life and mindset changes, and everyone around her benefits also.

“I’ve let myself go, I’ll be starting from nothing.” Most of our members said the exact same thing walking through the door. Nobody is judging your starting point. That’s the entire reason we train in small groups, not in front of a room of strangers. The coaches have lost over 350lbs between them and know what it’s like to be you. There’s no mirrors, no egos, no machines.

“I always fall off track once the cravings and the tiredness kick in.” That’s what our nutrition coaches are there for, real support for the evenings when all you want is chocolate and Netflix, not another generic meal plan you’ll ignore by October.

“I’ll probably just give up again.” Not with a team of coaches who know your name, notice when you’re missing, and back you through the weeks that don’t go to plan as much as the ones that do.

We’ve all said these things, and staying there won’t help you make the positive changes you want to see and feel.

Now is the time to prioritise you.

This is what 56 can look like!

The best shape of your life. Toned. Athletic. Mobile. Fit. Energy for days. An unbelievable confidence in your own body that maybe you've never had before.

This member joined us after watching a family member already training with Forge start to change right in front of her eyes. She saw the results, and she wanted in.

Here's what's mad though: she's never tracked a single calorie. Never weighed a single bit of food. Not once in an entire year.

Instead she worked with our Nutrition Coach Sarah, and used the whole coaching team for their nutrition knowledge, and for the first time in her life, actually learned how food works. Not a meal plan. Not a spreadsheet. Understanding. And she took that and built mindful eating into her actual life, the one with birthdays and takeaways and nights out, not some version of life that only works if nothing ever comes up.

She never felt deprived. She never sat out a social event. She just kept showing up, kept learning, kept trusting the process.

Less than a year later, and it's not just her body that's changed. It's her whole relationship with food, with training, with herself.

Whatever stage you're at, there's a way in.

↳ New to training or restarting from scratch? Our 6 Week Jumpstart gets you coached, fuelled, and moving in the right direction from day one.
↳ Want it tailored just to you? Our Personal Training puts your own Coach in your corner, building a plan around your goals, your body, your life.
↳ 60+ and new to exercise, or feeling full of aches and pains? Strongevity was built for exactly that.

Whichever fits you, we've got a place for you.

Coach Eilis .coaching_ is officially now full-time with us.

Since joining us a year ago, she’s brought energy, enthusiasm, and a real dedication to learning and becoming the kind of coach who changes lives. Watching that growth has been one of the best parts of this year, and we’re so proud of her.

If you’ve trained with Eilis, you already know what this means. The way she remembers what’s going on in your life outside the gym, the accountability that gets you through the door on the days you didn’t want to come, the energy she brings to every session, that’s about to be even more woven into the fabric of this place.

It also says something bigger about where Forge is headed. Ballymoney has now grown to over 220 members, and growth for us has never been about the number itself. It’s about being able to give more women around the North Coast the space and support they deserve to improve all aspects of their health and wellbeing, personalised for all ages, and all abilities.

As we look toward what’s next for Forge, including a second location on the horizon, Ballymoney continues to set the standard for Female coaching, not just in NI, but as the UK’s official number female gym.

Here’s to Eilis, to the effort and dedication she has already shown, and to what’s still ahead 💜

…And yes she loves a little bit of Clarkson’s Farm 😂

𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

Laughs, nibbles and a serious amount of competitive spirit at the gym! Over 26 members came along and turned the studio into games central for the evening.

We had headbands on for the guessing game, brains working overtime for Herd Mentality (turns out thinking like the herd is harder than it sounds ), quickfire rounds of Six Second Scribbles, plus Uno, Connect 4, Cluedo, Monopoly and more, all on the go around the tables.

This is one of our monthly free community events, a chance to make friends, meet new faces and enjoy some much-needed female company. Because sometimes the best thing for your wellbeing isn't a session on the gym floor, it's a room full of women who get it, laughing over a game of Herd Mentality with a coffee in hand.

Add in some well-earned treats, protein crisps and vitamin drinks, and it made for the perfect relaxed night with our Forge family.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a good laugh.

Up next on the community calendar... we're taking over 20 members to Powerhouse Padel in Coleraine to try our hand (and racket) at padel! No experience needed, just a new sport, a good laugh, and more of that Forge female company. And the best bit?

Their courts are purple. Basically fate. 💜

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝘆 𝗛𝘆𝗿𝗼𝘅

What a weekend for Forge Female Fitness at the Dunloy Hyrox!

Mel & Zara and JoJo & Heather raced as pairs to take on a full Hyrox, and smashed it, crossing the line with brand new PB's and times well inside what they'd estimated.

But the times only tell half the story. What made us proudest was watching how they raced: full effort, full grace, cheering on every competitor who crossed their path and throwing out a "well done" to anyone within earshot.

That's Forge in a nutshell, hard work and kindness, side by side.

Huge thanks to the family and friends who came out to support on the day, your energy on that finish line makes all the difference.

Proud doesn't even cover it.

This is what Women Empowering Women looks like in action.

𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵

What an afternoon! Over 80 Forge members, friends and family packed out our very own private screening at Portrush Playhouse for Aladdin Live Action, and it was everything we hoped it would be.

From our smallest members right up to the grandparents, everyone came together for popcorn, laughter and a little movie magic. Because that's what Forge has always been about, it was never just a gym. It's a family. And family days like this are exactly why.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a special one, and to the team at the Portrush Playhouse.

Here's to many more days like this! 🍿🎬

𝟮𝗹𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝟭𝟬𝗹𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.

These are the results of one of our recent 6 Week Jumpstart members and they will blow your mind!

If she'd only weighed herself, she'd might been disappointed in the progress over 6 weeks. However we don't use scales, we use an InBody 270, the ultimate technology to track health progress.

For anyone who's new here, our InBody 270 is our £6,000 body composition scanner, the gold standard of tracking progress in your health. In under a minute it breaks your weight down into what it's actually made of: muscle, fat, bones, protein, and water, right down to each arm and leg. It's the same tech used by physios and elite sports teams, and every one of our members has access to this.

We use it at the start and end of every single 6 Week Jumpstart too, so you never have to guess if you've made progress, you have proof!

Because progress isn't just about losing weight on a scale. It's about understanding what your body is actually made of.

Here's what it showed for one of our Jumpstart members after 6 weeks:

🔥 7.1lbs of body fat lost
🔥 2.9lbs of muscle gained
🔥 Body fat % down from 39.4% → 36.4%
🔥 InBody Score up from 72 → 78
🔥 Visceral fat (around the organs) level down from 17 → 14

Without the InBody, that's a story the scale could never tell. She built muscle, lost fat, and completely changed her body composition, while the number on the scale barely moved.

Numbers on the scale don't tell the full story. The InBody helps us see the bigger picture, so we can celebrate the progress that truly matters. We're proud to be one of the only gyms on the North Coast offering this elite piece of technology to our members.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸…

A theme comes up again and again in these messages, and this week it was hard to miss. See if you can spot it by the end...

We collect feedback from our members every week so we can keep improving their experience, and this week's messages all pointed to the same thing.

Let's take a look at just a few of those messages this week...

One member said it's the hard work, the great craic and the friendship from the other ladies and coaches that's kept her coming back, and that Forge hasn't disappointed

Another said it's totally changed her everyday life, mind and body, and that she's achieving things she didn't believe she could before joining

A member shared a long list of wins, from lifting heavier without shoulder pain to crossing her legs on the floor again after being scared stiff of falling just three months ago

The same member said she's not as concerned about a number on the scale anymore, she's healthier, stronger, happier, and proud of herself

One member, away on holiday, said her biggest win was being more active and having more energy, even out of her normal routine

That theme? It's never really about the number on the scale. It's mobility back, energy up, confidence returned, and a room full of women who show up for each other every step of the way.

However you're ready to start, there's a way in: Small Group Classes, 1:1 Personal Training, and Strongevity, our 60+ ladies class.
