Built by lifters,
for lifters.
FORGE started as six squat racks in a Al Sadd garage in 2020. Today it's 5 locations across Doha, open 24/7, for people serious about strength — 2,300+ members, 12 certified coaches, zero shortcuts.
From a garage
to 5 locations.
Founder Yusuf Al-Kaabi built FORGE after years of watching Doha's chain gyms sell memberships nobody used. No coaching, no accountability, no results. He started with six squat racks and a whiteboard program.
Six years later, FORGE has grown to five locations across Doha — Al Sadd, West Bay, Lusail, The Pearl and Al Rayyan — each open 24 hours a day, every day. But the standard hasn't changed: every session is coached, every lift is tracked, every member has a program built for them, not a class schedule they're squeezed into.
What we don't
compromise on.
These aren't marketing lines. They're the rules every coach on our floor trains under.
Programming Over Guessing
Every class and floor session follows a written periodized program — never an improvised workout of the day.
Coaches, Not Instructors
All 12 coaches hold recognized strength & conditioning or boxing certifications and complete quarterly re-assessment.
Capped Class Sizes
14 members max per class so every lift gets watched and corrected, every single session.
Honest Membership Terms
Month-to-month by default. Cancel or pause anytime from your account — no retention calls, no fine print.
