FØRGE fitness challenge

FØRGE is not just a workout. It’s a test of grit, endurance, and mental toughness. 

This 90-minute high-intensity fitness challenge pushes you to your limits, through a relentless sequence of running and functional strength exercises.  

Spurred on by our fantastic team of instructors, you’ll complete four rounds including: 

• walking lunges
• plated thrusters
• burpee broad jumps
• spider plank push-ups

And if that isn’t enough to raise your heart rate, you’ll complete a 400m run between each set! 

With every lap, the intensity builds, demanding power, agility, and resilience. 

We have designed FØRGE for those who crave more than a gym session. It’s for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone ready to break barriers.  

Whether you're training for your next challenge or looking to redefine your fitness limits, FØRGE delivers a full-body burn and a serious sense of achievement.  

Are you ready to rise from the fire?
