I've been training at Forde Fitness now for over 4 months and it has been such a pleasure! And I have high standards for training in Berlin. Having trained in London and California for over 5 years previously, I typically find the training staff at most gyms or boutiques in Berlin to be limited and, frankly, not committed. You could feel the difference from being in a global city with high competition for fitness and training. Forde Fitness is quite the opposite. From the minute you walk into the space you know that they have put in the extra effort and paid attention to details to separate it from just another gym. And Barry is the most dedicated trainer I have ever worked with, taking the time not only to tailor workouts for my needs (I have back issues stemming from marathon running) and almost daily personal check-ins after training sessions. His technical skill is sharp as a former athlete and you can see improvements from his workouts after only a few sessions. He also challenges me for more advanced skills so I'm learning new lifts and exercises even though I've been working out for more than 20 years. Moreover, he also goes the extra mile to build an actual community amongst clients which is a rarity for a boutique space. This has been a significant benefit since the lockdowns started this year with all of the large gyms going out of business. If you are looking to not only push yourself for your goals with an experienced, professional training staff, look no further than Forde.

I‘ve been training with Forde Fitness for 18 months and they took me to a level of fitness which I had not achieved with any other trainers. All trainers are highly professional and customer focused, it is all about the customer experience. I have all confidence in Forde Fitness and as such I have and will Continue to recommend them. They make everyone feel welcome irrelevant of age and fitness level and everyone will be able to achieve their own fitness goals... #excellence #customer is no.1

This is a very beautiful and special studio. The team and Barry (my coach) are exceptionally great. He understood my goals and knows exactly what suits me, my everyday life, my body type and my health situation. Thanks to the intensive training and the close exchange (even after training he always asks via message how I'm doing, what I have where and advises on nutrition when I ask questions) I have already achieved a lot. I came across this great training after the birth of my children and can only advise everyone to get here. Even if I have a snag or think nothing is happening (even though a lot of progress has been made), Barry always manages to motivate and push me! I'm totally grateful and looking forward to the next training sessions and the summer with the results achieved and comfortable skin!

The location is one of the best PT , Training and group training locations I know ! The gym and changing room is always clean and looks amazing - modern look and nice vibe ! The sound system is very good , high quality and easy to handle - and communication , booking system and Organisation is great ! I’m feeling always very welcome in this gym!! The trainer team is very professional and friendly !!

Personal training at its finest. Barry attunes to what makes you do your best in every session. I have been training with Barry for 6 months now. From the first orientation session to training you to surpass personal bests he is right there alongside you in the most professional and invested manner. The space is perfect: clean, bright, and well-spaced out for the most efficient workout. No judgement, genuine encouragement.

Best Personal Trainer ever! I had a very good morning session there. Lovely fitness environment. Everything you need to get out of your comfort zone 🥵… into better shape. 😄

Barry is a great trainer. Im in much better shape now compared to when i started. Training is tailored exactly to what i wanted to train. The space is very modern and has all equipment needed. Highly recommended!

I'm so happy I get to train with Barry! I was looking for a personal trainer when I moved to Germany because I didn't want to lose all of the progress I'd made with my trainer back home. Barry fit the bill as a trainer who is attentive, receptive to my needs/goals, able to push me when I need it, and supportive of my wins. I've had a roller coaster of a first year abroad, but one constant has been these times to just forget everything and get a solid workout in. I also love the studio - it's clean, comfortable and has a lot of great training equipment to take advantage of. Super highly recommended for all your fitness needs!

It is a very place to improve your body skills. Barry, Lisa and a Rachel are very good people and they help you all the time . Trains are funny and they really focus on your needs. I definitely recommend this place! Nice place to train ver clean and good personal

The future of fitness

If you’re looking for an incredible workout and amazing coaching, I highly recommend Forde Fitness! I started working with Barry Forde after recovering from knee surgery. Not only did Barry help me get back to where I was before surgery, but he also helped me to be even better! Barry and Forde Fitness focused on my individual needs and created workout plans for me personally that were challenging, fun, and something I looked forward to every time!

Barry is a great personal trainer - he’s not pushy but gets me performing well and working hard every session, while ensuring we’re training with a wide variety of exercises and I’m already feeling a lot stronger after a 5-6 weeks. I always look forward to our sessions!

After living in New York City and Brussels, I was very happy to find in Berlin, Forde Fitness. I was missing a lot my work out routine, but I didn’t want to enroll in a traditional gym where you barely have space to move in the locker area and have to fight for space in the classes. In the very first moment that you arrive in Forde Fitness you just feel relax and after the work out with strength and confidence. I broke my arm in January, I was so down thinking that I wouldn’t be able to use my right arm again the same way, but with a routine that the coach and PT Barry, design, I am completely recover. Not leaving aside that after two months in Forde Studio I‘ve reduce weight. Thank you Barry.

Super fitness concept, allowing personalized training without the constrain of a fitness club. Working with Barry is fun and I’m sure the coming month will improve my strength and resilience. I like his methods and spirit. I’m looking forward to more sessions and to my #Rennsteig trail run next spring.

I've been training with Barry at Forde Fitness for about 6 months now and will never look back! His understanding of conditioning is outstanding and it never ceases to amaze me how he can push my body in the most non-invasive way. I think a lot of women can feel afraid of the gym or the idea of pushing themselves too hard but Barry makes all the angst disappear. Highly motivating and fun! I also worked with Femi, a physiotherapist and personal trainer. He helped me with old and new injuries, which has been a great complimentary addition to the training with Barry. All in all, would recommend this studio for anyone wanting a personalised experience and to really understand how they can elevate their training to the next level. The studio is also really clean and well-equipped for anyone wanting variety in their workouts!

I have been training,with Barry för one month now and my body feeling has totally changed. I am more active and feel much strenger than before. It's so much fun and I am looking forward to each new training session which I can highly recommend !

I have been working with Barry for over two and a half years now and have had absolutely excellent results with him. When you work with Barry long-term, you go through both a physical and mental transformation. For me, no trainer can achieve the success that I have achieved with him through his personal experience and professional competence.
