Fantastic experience: I had just moved to Dubai and was on the hunt for a PT. I was close to settling for a commercial gym, but then I found Forge Fitness and I’m honestly so delighted I did, especially with it being nearby to my house. From the beginning I was welcomed with warm, friendly faces, and in my first induction session with Phil, he just oozed enthusiasm. You could tell straight away that he love loves his job! Since then, Jay has been my PT 3x times a week and after a month or so I realised I didn’t dread the gym anymore. I was actually enjoying it. My sessions have a lot of variety, I feel stronger, and after meniscus surgery on my knee I’ve noticed a big difference in how stable and confident I feel. The gym is never jam packed, it’s always clean, and overall my experience has been top notch. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personal approach, a safe space and something that’s tailored to you.
Fantastic experience: Phil was highly recommended by the physio and I’m so pleased that he sent me to Forge fitness to fix my injured knee . Thanks to Phil and his patience , expertise and perfect workouts , my knee has recovered well and my over all fitness has improved . The entire team out there is fun, helpful capable and dedicated . I look forward to my sessions and coming from someone who is not into gyms says a lot about Forge Fitness . It will always be my go to gym . Thanks Phil you are one of the best !!

Fantastic experience: Phil gave me excellent advice on how to strengthen the muscle around my shins and also the pectoral muscle. Those shin exercises were top tier and I haven’t come across anything like that anywhere on the internet.
