    IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. Absolutely appalling customer service. Don't bother trying to get a gift voucher, after six hours I still don't have one and would tell everyone to stay away. Worst - you are supposed to be able to relax with these people. Highly questionable. Why they don't have online options for gift cards is beyond me. First I emailed for a link to purchase assuming they were working in 2023 and for some reason I couldnt find it on website. No. Then I suggested sending a PayPal or electronic link. No. They told me to call. I called three times with a credit card ready and heard no one. So then I emailed one off Cc details, totally over the stoneage incompetence being activelly displayed. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else to relax or treat someone else with a gift. These people are highly unprofessional and archaic. To top it off, whilst trying to purchase a gift certificate as a GIFT I was informed that l had to provide the recipients email. I don't think they understand or comprehend what a gift certificate is. Basic communication and comprension skills are clearly lacking, I'd be seriously worried if I was going there with a medical issue or injury or even to relax. Went to a different business, 100% no problems. Took 2 minutes.

    I love coming to Forge. Small classes, excellent instructors and a warm, welcoming environment. Lots of choice in classes and times. Classes adjusted to fit abilities and variety in routines so never get bored. I feel cared about as a person not just a number.

    The very first time I walked into Forge I realised the place was special. The atmosphere was vibrant, the staff from the reception as well as the clinicians were welcoming, and everything looked amazing! The staff themselves are all knowledgeable, professional and caring, I can't thank them enough for welcoming me

    I came to Forge through their Physiotherapy door for follow up after knee surgery. I stayed for Clinical Pilates and am blown away by the level of competence and professionalism the Forge team displays every day. An excellent facility run by passionate and compassionate people. Amy Lovegrove

    I was proposed to Forge for Clinical Pilates following an intracerebral hæmorrhage (see CT image). This is part of my rehabilitation program, which includes weekly Occupational and Speech Therapy. The sessions at Forge are conducted very professionally and are undoubtedly significantly promoting my recovery. Highly recommended.

    Excellent team of health professionals! I like how their team work across their disciplines for each client. I have been working on a tailored exercise program specially designed for my condition. I like that everything is in one place, Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology, Remedial Massage Therapists and Reformer Studio. I love their Rehab GYM and how they combine Gym & Studio Pilates Equipment all in one space! makes my chronic back pain rehab program much easier to work with!

    Forge West End is the dream clinic! Not only is a safe space where you go to get fit and/or to recovery from injuries, but also is a clinic that has formed a community that allows you to achieve your personal and professional goals as no other. I couldn't be more grateful for having walked through the door of Forge one afternoon and having met the most amazing directors and staff ever. Forge staff are not only amazingly friendly, but also extremely qualified to tailor programmes specifically for what your needs are. Totally recommended to enhance your wellbeing in general!

    I have been to many gyms, but it wasn’t until I was referred to Forge West End that I found the best. What makes Forge unique is that they care about the progress of every single client, and each staff member is passionate about the achievement of their client’s goals. Exercise Physiology has become an essential part of my life, and I couldn’t praise my Exercise Physiologist, Svet, any higher due to his technical knowledge, dedication to my continual progress and possession of the elusive quality of emotional intelligence which allows him to relate to many different types of people. Forge isn’t just a Pilates studio or gym, it has become like a second home to me, and I wouldn’t have regained my strength and self-confidence without them.

    Excellent physiotherapy services. I always see Billy Troy, he has helped me navigate the healing process of a neck/back injury. He is a professional and empathetic practitioner with excellent communication skills - always listening to my concerns and making necessary adjustments to my treatment and exercises. I highly recommend Billy, and the team at Forge West End.

  • 5/5 nicholas g. 1 year ago on Google
    the other day I had a consultation with senior physiotherapist Billy. He was clearly a very experienced and knowledgeable practitioner who was able to quickly diagnose and implement specific exercises to treat my condition. I could not recommend Billy and all the team at Forge physiotherapy where stand highly enough.

  • 5/5 Jack M. 5 years ago on Google
    Professional and friendly staff with a great setup

  • 5/5 Nada V. 1 year ago on Google
    Even I've just started, my first impression is so good. I feel privileged having such an amazing educated and knowledgeable physiotherapist and Pilates instructor as Dijana. She's going to tailor a program specifically to my needs. Can't wait to see how will look my next class. I also like very friendly and welcoming environment. I heartily recommend this studio.

  • 5/5 Josh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Second experience with Forge. Both Physios I have seen have been great. Most recently saw Billy and appreciated his ability to give professional advice through a friendly demeanour. Will definitely see him again on future injuries (that hopefully don't happen).

  • 5/5 Louise H. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been attending classes at Forge for over a year. I have hyper-mobility, which means that I have to be careful not to overextend myself and cause injury to myself. I like that the instructors are well-qualified and able to recognise when I need to adjust my posture to receive maximum benefit, as well as suggest modifications if an exercise is beyond me. I like that the classes are smaller and that there is more individual attention given. I am stronger and have fewer aches and pains when I attend my classes at Forge. And it is a very friendly, positive environment to exercise in. I highly recommend the studio.

  • 5/5 Tegan L. 1 year ago on Google
    The team at Forge are incredible. I had never done yoga/pilates before joining, and tbh was a bit intimidated by the look of the reformer machines. From my first visit, everyone made me feel comfortable, safe and welcome, and the small class sizes mean you actually get guidance on your form. All the staff are lovely, the equipment and facilities are first class, and there's a good variety of class times and types to choose from. I can't recommend Forge enough.

  • 5/5 Lucy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Forge is fantastic! Everyone who works there is compassionate and kind. They offer client-centred care and clearly have a great deal of experience. I am so impressed with the service, cleanliness, and atmosphere at Forge. Special mention for Billy and Ebony, who have been truly wonderful.

  • 5/5 Joel 11 months ago on Google
    I have had a great experience as a client of Forge. They have built an excellent team of highly skilled practitioners. The location is highly convenient. I like supporting a "small business" that is family owned.

  • 5/5 Lauranah W. 10 months ago on Google
    Forge Physio is unmatched. My physio Billy was always accommodating with schedules, professional, very thorough and incredibly helpful. Hopefully I will never injure myself again though if I do I know where to go 👍

  • 5/5 Jenny D. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Forge! I have been going to Clinical, Mum & Bub and Reformer classes and let's not forget the amazing massages from Fern. The staff is very knowledgeable, caring and friendly - always a pleasure to go every week.

  • 5/5 Jyoti Jude M. 1 year ago on Google
    The 5 stars given are a reflection of the expertise and excellence of care I receive at every session, with exercise physiologist Kristin Murray. Kristin ticks every box you could hope for: incredibly skilled and knowledgeable whilst also being kind, empathetic and engaging. By tailoring her approach to your specific needs and personality, Kristin knows how far to push you to maximise your recovery and build overall strength. Additionally, Kristin is brilliant at navigating how best to create unique treatment plans for anyone with complex health needs. The staff at reception and in general are super friendly and pleasant, which is another plus 🙂

  • 5/5 Jane B. 11 months ago on Google
    Jess is terrific, asked relevant questions to ascertain what was going on, then treated me to give relief from my back pain. The studio is comfortable and I felt treated respectfully and with warmth. Reception staff (Ness) always lovely and helpful. Jane B

  • 5/5 Filia P. 5 months ago on Google
    I joined Forge West End way back in 2017, towards the end of my breast cancer treatment. The Studio provides well-equipped facilities and a comprehensive range of services, including physiotherapy, reformer pilates, clinical pilates, exercise physiology and remedial massage services, all delivered by a professional, approachable, and friendly team. The studio exudes a welcoming and intimate atmosphere, where the professional and approachable staff have fostered a strong sense of community. I also enjoy the perfect blend of rigorous exercise, fun, and laughter that each session brings. Forge is like my second family.

  • 5/5 Penny J. 4 months ago on Google
    Very knowledgeable and thorough service. Ashleigh was so happy and helpful, and worked out all my knots was such a relief. Definitely 10/10

  • 5/5 SUSAN T. 5 months ago on Google
    My husband & myself have been attending weekly Exercise/Pilates classes with Kristin at Forge West End for over 12 months and we love it. Kristin, a qualified & trained exercise physiologist, understands our physical needs & prepares our weekly exercise schedule that we feel the improved benefits of the pilates & weight resistance training at the end of each session while making it fun & interesting all at the same time. All the staff at Forge are friendly, helpful and always happy to help with our health/exercise needs. We can highly recommend Forge West End.

  • 5/5 Karen 3 months ago on Google New
    If you have not been to forge then you are seriously missing out. All of their staff are incredible. So knowledgeable and really take the time to understand you and what you want to achieve. I have a few niggling injuries and all the sessions are tailored around that. An hour session passes so quickly. A special mention to Sarah. She will push you to your own limits so you receive the best workout but she also makes the session fun!

  • 5/5 Dimitrije S. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jarnum K. 2 years ago on Google
    I began attending Forge back in 2018 when I began my rehabilitation and return to sport journey. It's been over 3 years now and I've always had a great experience here. I am working closely with Chris Hitchins, one of the physio's there, with my soccer and he's always had nothing but the best in mind for me. I can comfortably say he has prevented a lot of issues for me in the sporting world. Highly recommend Chris and the Forge team!

  • 5/5 Russell L. 2 years ago on Google
    First attended for some remedial work on my shoulder - great outcome. From the interactions and first hand experience gained in that process I quickly realised the 'tue' professionalism of the Team at Forge. Realising after the first visit I could and still do benefit from twice weekly sessions years after. Thanks Team (actuallu almost family now)

  • 5/5 Henry J. 1 year ago on Google
    Billy is a godsend! I’ve been struggling with a shoulder issue for over a year now, numerous massages and other physios with no real relief. After my first session with Billy I finally felt like I had an answer and 4 weeks on now, I can finally play a full round of golf pain free!! I just wish I saw him sooner.

    Billy was great. I'd been suffering for a week with a sore shoulder that was only slowly healing. The day after seeing Billy, my shoulder felt almost back to normal. Recommended exercises are sent online with description/video/photos

    I really look forward to my sessions with Kristin at Forge. As a qualified exercise physiologist and Pilates instructor she has tailored a program specifically to my needs. Kristin has really inspired me to exercise more, she is always so positive and encouraging. Forge is such a very friendly gym, all of the staff are friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Tushar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience from start till finish. Billy really helped me with my shoulder issues. Also gives great golf injuries related advice. Can't recommend enough.

  • 5/5 Kaye C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to work on those niggling aches n pains! Or to firm up a few muscles that have been taking a long break :) Even though there are, at most, four clients in each group session, the knowledgeable exercise physiologists provide one-on-one, professional, individual attention. Highly recommended!
