POWER . BLAST . BURN .

FORGE, HOT KETTLE BELL WORK-OUTS ARE designed to unlock peak performance, sharpen efficiency, and accelerate recovery, all while building serious mental resilience. The benefits speak for themselves.

No fluff, no gimmicks - just heat, iron, and results for anyone ready to train hard, sweat harder, and walk out stronger.

Your body works harder to regulate temperature, raising heart rate and metabolism - meaning you burn more calories per minute compared to a standard session.
Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, improving circulation and flushing toxins through sweat. You’ll feel lighter, looser, and more refreshed post-workout.
Training in heat builds mental toughness. It pushes you to stay focused, breathe deeply, and stay present - all while powering through high-intensity work.
Warm muscles are more pliable, which: Lowers the risk of injury. Improves range of motion. Helps you engage and activate muscles more efficiently during kettlebell swings, presses, and squats.
Kettlebells already spike your heart rate - add heat, and it becomes a cardio-strength hybrid. Your heart adapts quicker, improving endurance and lung capacity over time.
A 30-34°C kettlebell workout is intense and efficient - you get full-body strength training, cardio, and conditioning in one powerful 50 minute session.
The combination of sweat, endorphins, and achievement in a heated environment delivers a massive mental release - think of it as therapy with kettlebells.
Forge’s kettlebell workouts aren’t just about building strength - they’re about building functional power and endurance that directly translates to HYROX performance.
With kettlebells, we:
- Push & Pull – mimicking sled pushes, rows, and carries.
- Lunge & Lift Heavy – strengthening legs, glutes, and core for running efficiency.
- Explosive Movements – swings, snatches, and thrusters boost speed and stamina.
- Strength + Endurance – high-rep, high-intensity work builds the engine HYROX demands.
Every Forge session is effectively Hyrox prep in disguise - training the exact movements and energy systems you’ll need to dominate the course.
