Forge is R Lukins’ new strength and conditioning gym, perfect for people who want to train like athletes, with the members of staff having experience and qualifications in Strength and conditioning, Exercise referral, HYROX coaching, Strongman, Olympic lifting and Power lifting.
Forge strength and fitness is a 12m/30m converted barn filled with brand new equipment including established brands such as Concept2, Mirafit and Primal Strength. There is a variety of cardiovascular equipment in addition to the large free weights area and strongman section.
Because Forge strength and fitness is privately owned, it offers a personal touch when signing up for a membership as you will be able to interact with a highly qualified instructor to set a personalised training routine to reach your goals. We also offer a low cost membership and no contract so you can cancel or freeze your membership at any time.
