Barbell strength, conditioning, boxing and mobility, coached in classes of twelve in a 5,000 sq ft warehouse in Indiranagar. Loud music, good form, no egos. Your first class is on us.
A converted warehouse with 6-metre ceilings, rubber floors that soak up a dropped deadlift and air that actually moves.

I came in for a back that hated my desk. Arjun had me hinging a broomstick for two weeks before I touched a bar. Now I pull more than twice my bodyweight and the back pain is a memory.

Fourteen kilos lighter, and I sleep. The 6:45 crew notices if you don't turn up, which is the whole trick, honestly.

Zero to eight. Farhan says my jab got faster because my back got stronger. I just know I can finally get my own suitcase into the overhead bin.

Small classes, and the coaches actually correct your form. Three months in, my squat finally feels like mine.

The 5:30 crew is the best part of my day. Loud music, zero ego, and someone always brings banana bread on Fridays.

Came for the boxing, stayed for everything else. Farhan's pad work is something else.
Karthik N. · Member since 2022

Meera sorted out a shoulder two physios couldn't. Mobility Reset is non-negotiable for me now.
Nisha J. · Member since 2024

Clean showers, booking that just works, and they remembered my name on day two. That's rarer than it should be.
Aditya V. · Member since 2025

I'm 52 and I deadlift. That sentence still makes my kids laugh. Best decision I made in my forties.

Front desk from 7 a.m. Trials welcome at any class.
Yes. Most of our members walked in having never touched a barbell. Your first two weeks are about learning the movements with a coach, and every workout is scaled to where you are.
How big are the classes?
Twelve people at most, always with a coach on the floor. Strength and Olympic lifting often run with two coaches.
Can I freeze my membership?
Unlimited and Forge Pro can freeze for up to 30 days a year: travel, exams, a new baby, a dodgy knee. Just tell the desk.
Do you have showers and lockers?
Hot showers, lockers with your own code, towels on request and a hair dryer that actually works. Come straight from the office or go straight to it.
Where do I park?
Two-wheeler parking inside the gate. Cars on the side street are easy after 7 p.m. and before 8 a.m.; the metro is a six-minute walk.
What should I bring to my trial?
Trainers with a flat-ish sole, a water bottle and clothes you can move in. We have chalk, gloves, mats and wraps.
