OUR STORY

BUILT BY
ATHLETES.
FOR EVERYONE.

IRONFORGE was founded in 2018 with a single mission: to give every person who walks through our doors access to the same elite-level coaching, environment, and community that professional athletes enjoy.

In 2018, Jordan Knight β€” three-time British powerlifting champion β€” was frustrated. Every gym he visited chose profit over performance: overcrowded floors, undertrained staff, and equipment bought on budget rather than merit. He decided to build something different.

IRONFORGE opened its doors in Shoreditch with 6,000 sq ft, 3 coaches, and 200 founding members. Within 18 months, we'd doubled in size. Today we operate from a 15,000 sq ft flagship facility and have welcomed over 4,200 members β€” from first-timers to competitive athletes.

The philosophy hasn't changed: elite equipment, elite coaching, and zero compromise on results. Whether you're chasing your first 5kg weight loss or your first competition medal, we build the programme around you β€” not the other way around.
