I participate in the Crossfit and Jiu-jitsu program, but we' ve all done every program offered at one point or another. Many people don't know that this was the original crossfit gym in Raleigh. The combined years of experience and level of expertise by the staff is unmatched by any other local gym. In fact many of the owners and trainers from the competing local gyms got their start at Forged when it was CrossfitNC. If you're serious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, or Crossfit training this is the best to begin your journey. The environment is friendly, family oriented, and laidback. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or have years of experience this gym will challenge you and instruct you at the level that's right for you. In the six years I've been a member I have personally seen many of my training partners make amazing transformations in body and mind. I've also been fortunate enough to train with some of the most respected high level jiu-jitsu instructors and competitors in the area and from all over. The kids program is equally highly regarded and the most effective as proven in competition. Come out and meet the crew if you're in the area. You won't regret it.

The coaches were really supportive and helpful when it came to the technical stuff. They also have a full gym with a squat rack, row machine, ropes and an assault bike (just to name a few pieces of equipment). This was huge for me especially coming from a Crossfit gym. It's been over two months and my skills have improved and so has my endurance. The workouts are definitely low impact in comparison to other forms of exercise I've done. It's also been really good for my shoulder's endurance and mobility (I've had two rotator cuff surgeries on the same one). My boyfriend and I couldn't be happier here.

Everyone is at different levels and all are zoned in on their own workouts not someone else. It is a great mental and physical workout. I challenge you to stop by for a free workout and see for yourself. You won't regret it-if you are committed to make a change.
