Our Philosophy

Iron doesn't
care about
your excuses.

Forge & Iron is a barbell gym in Williamsburg built by lifters, for lifters. We don't have selfie mirrors. We don't run group classes you could do in a hotel pool. What we have is serious equipment in a serious space — the kind where chalk flies and nobody gives you grief for it.

Two competition platforms. Three dedicated deadlift platforms. One of the better squat-rack lineups in New York City. A full kettlebell range, sleds, prowlers, and all the small stuff you actually need. Every coach on staff is certified and actively competing — not just credentialed, but in the sport.

Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, hypertrophy programming, strength GPP — if it involves a barbell, we know how to program it. If it doesn't, this probably isn't your gym.

Getting Started

Walk In.
Lift Heavy. Leave Strong.

01

Drop In or Sign Up

$35 drop-in, no booking required. Monthly membership is $189, no contracts, no cancellation fees. Show up, pay, and get under the bar.

02

Get Oriented

First session, any coach on the floor can walk you through the space, show you platform etiquette, and point you toward the right equipment for your goals.

03

Train Your Program

Run your own programming or work with one of our competing coaches on powerlifting, Olympic lifting, or hypertrophy-focused blocks. No generic template nonsense.

04

Come Back Stronger

Open 5am to 11pm every single day. Whether you're a before-work 5am regular or a late-night session lifter, the gym is there when you need it.

The Equipment

Serious gear.
Real iron.

Two Competition Platforms

Full-spec competition platforms for powerlifting and Olympic lifting — not repurposed rubber mats. When you compete, you already know the setup.

Three Deadlift Platforms

Never wait for a platform on peak hours. Three dedicated deadlift setups mean the floor moves even when the gym is full. Pull when you need to pull.

Best Squat Racks in the City

Our squat-rack lineup is one of the better setups you'll find anywhere in New York. Monolift, adjustable safeties, proper j-hooks — the details that matter.

Sleds, Prowlers & Kettlebells

Full kettlebell range from 8kg to 80kg. Sleds and prowlers for conditioning work that doesn't compromise your strength training. GPP the right way.

Simple Pricing

No games.

Our Story

Williamsburg's
Barbell-First
Gym.

Forge & Iron exists because Brooklyn needed a serious gym — not another boutique fitness concept, not another commercial chain with forty treadmills and a smoothie bar. A gym built around barbells, built for people who actually want to get strong.

We're based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and we've built the kind of facility we always wished existed. Two competition platforms set to full spec. Three dedicated deadlift platforms so you're never waiting. A squat-rack lineup that's genuinely one of the better setups in New York City — not a marketing line, just true. Full kettlebell range, sleds, prowlers, and every accessory piece you actually use.

No selfie mirrors. No group fitness classes that could be done in a hotel gym. No in-app gamification. What you get is a well-maintained facility, coaches who are actively competing in powerlifting and Olympic lifting, and a community of people who take their training seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

Drop-ins are $35. Monthly is $189. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no asterisks. We're open 5am to 11pm, seven days a week — before your shift, after your shift, on weekends when everywhere else is closed. The bar doesn't care what time it is.

What Sets Us Apart

Not a fitness club.
A barbell gym.

Coaches Who Still Compete

Every coach at Forge & Iron is certified and actively competing. They're not just certified — they're in the sport, pulling numbers, qualifying for meets. The advice is current because the experience is current.

Two Full Competition Platforms

Most gyms have zero. We have two — built to spec for powerlifting and Olympic lifting meets. If you're prepping for a competition, you train on the same setup you'll compete on.

Open 5AM to 11PM, Every Day

18-hour days, seven days a week. No reduced holiday hours, no "seasonal closures." Early morning before the commute, late night after a double shift — we're open when you need to train.

$189 Month-to-Month. No Catches.

No annual contract, no cancellation fee, no 30-day notice requirement. $189 gets you full access every month. $35 drop-in if you're not ready to commit. The price is the price.

What We Offer

Train With Purpose.

Forge & Iron is built around barbell sport and strength training. Every service is run by coaches who compete actively. No generic programming, no group fitness crossover.

Powerlifting

Squat, bench, deadlift — programmed for progress, not maintenance. Train on competition-spec platforms with coaches who have stood on the same platforms at sanctioned meets. Suited or raw, beginner or elite.

$189/mo

Olympic Lifting

Snatch and clean-and-jerk coaching on full competition platforms. Technique work, percentage-based programming, and meet prep for those chasing totals. Coaches are certified and actively competing in Olympic lifting.

$189/mo

Hypertrophy Programming

Strength-based hypertrophy blocks built around barbell movements and compound accessory work — not machine circuits. For lifters who want to get bigger without abandoning the barbell. 12–16 week blocks.

$189/mo

Personal Coaching

One-on-one sessions with a competing coach. Technique assessment, programming design, and session coaching. Available for powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and strength GPP. Pricing varies — contact us to discuss your goals.

Callfor quote

Strength GPP

Sleds, prowlers, kettlebells, carries — general physical preparedness work built to support your main lifts, not compete with them. No HIIT classes, no timed circuits. Just deliberate conditioning that makes you stronger.

$189/mo

Drop-In Access
