FORGED STRENGTH. ENGINEERED. Manchester's premium strength facility
Opening 2025 · Founding memberships now available

A premium, capped-membership strength facility coming to Middlewood Locks, Salford. No classes, no café, no compromise. World-class German machinery across 4,700 sq ft of dedicated training space — purpose built for serious lifting and serious content.

Membership is strictly limited to 600. When it's full, it's full. Founding members receive priority access, the best rate, exclusive merchandise and a fob that will never be available again.

Built by operators, for lifters. FORGED is led by Samuel Benjamin — a multi-venue gym operator with facilities across Greater Manchester. The equipment specification, space design and membership model are built on years of operating serious training environments. This is not a first venture. It is the best one.
