We have nearly 110 five-star Google reviews. Every single one from a real woman who walked through our doors and never looked back.

Since we opened the doors of Forge 3.0 six weeks ago, over 45 local women have already joined us. Women who were nervous. Women who'd tried other gyms and hated it. Women who thought there was nowhere that they would feel comfortable and confident in.

They're here now. Moving. Progressing. Learning. Laughing. Showing up for themselves in a way they haven't in years.

Read just what Forge has done for Emma, Sybil, Cindy and Karen recently.

We're now almost full.

A waitlist is coming, and once it opens, the next available spot won't be for months.
So if you've been stalking us and putting us focusing on you, if you've been telling yourself "soon", this is your sign that soon needs to be now.

Our 6 Week Jumpstart is where it all starts.

Small group personal training. Your own dedicated nutritionist. InBody scans so you can track your progress. A coaching team with qualifications across strength, nutrition, mental health, menopause, pre and post natal, and cardiovascular health. And a room full of women who are rooting for you from day one.

No machines. No judgement. No egos. No mirrors. Just results. And a community that'll make you wonder why you waited so long.

💜 Spots are going. Be one of the last to join before we close to new members and open our waitlist.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝟯.𝟬!

One month ago today, we opened the doors to Forge 3.0.
And honestly? It still gives me goosebumps every time I walk in.

But a building is just a building. What makes Forge what it is, is the women in it. And in the last month alone, 40 new local women have walked through our doors and joined our community. I cannot tell you how excited we are to be on this journey with every single one of them. 💜

A space like this is only as good as the people who show up in it, and the coaches who show up for them.

So today I want to take a moment to re-introduce you to the team behind Forge 3.0.

JoJo — our Head Coach. She walked through our doors as a client. I watched her grow, and I knew she had something special, and was someone special. Now she leads our floor and our team with a level of care and knowledge that blows me away every single day.

Sarah — our Nutrition & Mindset Coach. She's the deep thinker of the team. The one who gets to the root of things. Qualified in nutrition, mental health, menopause, sleep, and CBT, she coaches the whole woman, not just the physical.

Eilis — the one who brings the energy. A high-level camogie player and cardiovascular specialist who lights up every room she walks into. You will not leave her sessions without a smile on your face.

And then there's me: Grace. I started Forge after losing 160lbs myself, and developing a passion for health and fitness. Opening up a 150 sq ft room at the back of my mum's house ten years ago. I had no idea it would become this. But I knew why I was doing it, because I'd been the woman who needed this place, and I wanted to build it for others.

One month in Forge 3.0, and 40 new women already. 4,000+ served since day one. And a team I am so incredibly proud of.

If you've been thinking about taking the first step — this is your sign.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. £𝟯𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 💜

Take a look inside Forge 3.0.

From a 150 square foot room at the back of a house, to over 1,200 square feet of purpose-built studio. Twice the size of our previous home. Every detail chosen. Nothing rushed, nothing cut short.

This is the result of 10 years of work and dedication to women’s health. Entirely self-funded, no loans, no grants. Women building for women.

This is what happens when you refuse to settle.

Here’s what’s new inside the studio:

🏋️ Custom-built squat rack and cable system — designed specifically for us, built specifically for this space. And we’re the only gym in the UK with this colour. Not off the shelf. Not standard. Ours.

🚪 Dedicated private Personal Training studio — a completely separate space exclusively for our 1:1 private members. No interruptions. No shared floor. Just you and your coach, fully focused on your programme, your goals, and your progress.

🏆 Reception and locker area — because arriving at the studio should feel good. Numbered lockers so your stuff is always sorted, a comfy sofa and a proper space to sit, breathe, and settle in before your session, or decompress after it.

📊 Forge Bio 300 — the most advanced body composition technology in the area. Muscle mass. Bone density. Hydration levels. Fitness Age. Visceral Fat. Overall Health Score. And more. No one locally has this same progress tracking technology for women. This isn’t just tracking progress, it’s understanding your body in a way most women never have access to.

❤️ Heart Health zone — a dedicated area of the studio built entirely around improving your cardiovascular and heart health, with brand new equipment from Concept2 and Wolverson.

🚿 Bigger changing and toilet facilities — designed with women in mind, because that’s who we’re here for. Ladies toiletries stocked, a new hand dryer (no more paper towels 🙌), and everything you need to freshen up and feel great before you leave.

23 women have already started their journey in Forge 3.0 since we opened two weeks ago.

2 spaces left on the 6 Week Jumpstart, and they close Thursday 1st May.

💜 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝟯.𝟬 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻!

I’m still trying to find the words.

On Saturday over 170 people walked through our doors on Saturday. A queue that stretched all the way outside of Taggarts Yard. 100 goodie bags, gone in under 10 minutes. Coffee from Swell Coffee, cake and cupcakes from , and a room absolutely buzzing with the most incredible energy I’ve ever felt.

Deputy Mayor Alderman Richard Brown Stewart joined us to mark the occasion. And when it came to cutting that ribbon, my mum and my brother were right there beside me. The two people who have believed in this from the very beginning.

I’m not going to lie, I was emotional, there were a lot of happy tears!

£30,000 invested into this new space. Self-funded. Self-built. Every penny I had went into creating something I’m genuinely so proud of.

This space is twice the size of where we were. Designed and built with real purpose, to reflect what Forge has become, and everything we’ve worked towards. UK Ladies Gym of the Year doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of our amazing members, the women who walk through this door, who show up, who trust us with the hardest parts of their journey.

Nearly a decade ago I started coaching from a tiny 150 square foot room at the back of my mum’s house. No big studio. No money. No team. Just myself and a belief that I could help women. And from that little room, from every single year of graft that came after it, this beautiful space is what we’ve built together.

And on Saturday? Over 20 new members joined our 6 Week Jumpstart Programme on the day. On. The. Day. We now only have 5 spaces left.

To every member, past and present, thank you. You are the reason this exists. You are the reason we keep building. And to my amazing coaches; JoJo, Sarah, and Eilis, I couldn’t do any of this without you.

Forge 3.0 isn’t just a gym. It’s the culmination of everything.

The best is still to come 💜

Too busy. Too tired. Didn’t know if it was right for her.

Sound familiar?

But it all changed after those first steps through the door.

Because that’s exactly who Forge was built for: Ladies who don’t want…

A commercial gym
Mirrors and machines
The feeling of being judged
Coaches who don’t understand women’s health deeply and haven’t had their own transformation
Soulless dark space filled with overwhelming equipment and people with headphones

We’re a ladies-only gym in Ballymoney and we have been changing how women feel about fitness for years.

No judgment. No intimidating atmosphere. No pressure to be anything other than exactly where you are right now. Just a coach in every session, a community that actually shows up for each other, and a place that fits around your life, not the other way around.

We’re open Monday to Saturday, 7am to 9pm. Early starts, late finishes, school runs, shift work, we built our timetable around busy women with real lives. 150+ of them train here every single week.

We’re about to launch our brand new 6 Week Jumpstart programme where we’ll guide you to feel stronger, fitter, more confident.

Access goes to our VIP launch list first so make sure you’re on it.

Episode 5 is live and this one is packed.

Here's what we got done this week at the new unit:

💜 All of our new strength equipment arrived, dumbbells, kettlebells, bumper plates, benches and bands, and it took the whole coaching team to get it off the pallets and into the unit
💜 We ripped out the kitchen and toilet floors, they needed a refresh and we don't do things by halves
💜 We headed to Ballybee Flooring and chose our lovely new grey floor for the kitchen and toilet
💜 We blacked out the windows on the new unit so we can work in secret for the next three weeks
💜 And the incredible Hannah from So Soy popped in this week, our next door neighbour, she has created 100 custom wax melts especially for our launch party goodie bags. We are saying nothing more on that for now 👀

A massive shoutout to MacBlairs for keeping us stocked in paint and supplies, we are 40 litres in and counting. To Ballybee Flooring for helping us find the perfect finish, we cannot wait to see it down. Thanks also to Roasted for keeping us caffeinated through every long day on site 💜 You are all legends.

This is Forge 3.0 taking shape, built by our own hands, for the women of Ballymoney and the North Coast.

We are also just about to launch our 6 Week Jumpstart Programme for all new members joining us in this amazing new space.

Episode 6 is coming, and I'll be sharing some of the tougher parts of this process, because it's not all sunshine and roses.

Plus your first sneak peek at our goodie bags.
