Group Fitness Classes in West Ashley, Charleston
Train With Us.
Coach-led strength, conditioning and mobility classes designed to help you function better. Better in the gym, better at work, better in everyday life.
Move Better. Feel Stronger.
At FORGE CHS, every class is built around one idea: help you function better. Better in the gym. Better at work. Better in everyday life.
We offer Strength & Conditioning and Mobility coach-led group fitness classes in West Ashley:
Strength & Conditioning classes — build strength training, mobility, core, and balance in one complete session.
Mobility classes — keep your joints healthy, your range of motion strong, and your body ready to train.
Every class is scaled to meet you exactly where you are. New to group training or a seasoned athlete — you'll find something that challenges you, supports you, and keeps you coming back.
strength + Conditioning
60 Min · strength · mobility · core + Balance
FORGE CHS strength and conditioning classes are hybrid workouts — not cardio-only, not pure lifting. A complete training session that covers all the bases:
Strength — compound lifts and resistance work that build real, functional muscle and carry over into everyday movement.
Conditioning — circuits and cardio-based work that challenge your endurance, build your engine, and keep your metabolism firing.
Mobility — intentional movement work that keeps your joints healthy, your range of motion strong, and your body feeling as good as it performs.
Core & Balance — the foundation underneath everything else. Built into every session, because real strength starts from the center out.
Certified trainers guide every session — monitoring form, offering modifications, making sure every member trains safely and effectively.
No matter your experience level, our strength and conditioning classes are here to challenge you, inspire you, and help you forge lasting strength — inside and out.
Mobility
30 Min · Active Stretch · joint mobility · Recovery
FORGE CHS mobility classes are led by Lauren Michi, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Women's Fitness Specialist.
These are not yoga. They're 30-minute sessions of intentional, active stretching focused on the joints that matter most for training — hips, ankles, shoulders. The focus shifts every few weeks to keep the work progressive and targeted.
The goal is simple: the ability to move freely, easily, and independently. Everything we do at FORGE CHS is for function. Mobility work is what makes the strength work possible — and what makes everyday life feel better.
Whether you're training for performance or just want to move without stiffness, our mobility classes in West Ashley give your body the recovery and range of motion it needs to keep showing up.
The Whole Gym Is Yours.
FORGE CHS classes use every part of the 10,000 sq ft facility — squat racks, free weights, machines, turf, rowers and bikes — so you get a varied, effective workout and experience the entirety of FORGE CHS. The whole gym is yours.

-
You're exactly who we built this for. Classes are programmed to scale so every movement can be modified to fit your level — and our coaches are on the floor every session to make sure you feel supported, not lost.
If you've never set foot in a gym before, reach out before your first class and we'll take a few minutes to connect, get to know you, and make sure you feel ready before you step on the floor. -

Most group fitness happens in a dedicated class room with the same equipment every time. At FORGE CHS, your class uses the whole gym — squat racks, free weights, machines, turf, rowers, bikes, and more — depending on the day and the programming. 10,000 sq ft is a lot of gym. We use all of it.
-
Classes are capped at 20 members — intentionally kept small so coaches can give every member real attention including modifications on movements or reinforcement of proper form to prevent injury and maximize strength.
-
It varies by session. Classes are held in the gym, not a studio or class room and may utilize the full 10,000 sq ft facility — squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, turf, sleds, rowers, Rogue bikes, machines, and more.
-
All programming is designed so members can complete the workout independently during open gym hours. With 24/7 access, you're never locked out of your training and always have coach support.
-
No. At FORGE CHS we have no contracts, no signup fees, and no cancellation fees.
