FORGE IS Cape Town’s first dedicated hot kettlebell HIIT studio.

A 60-minute, full-body strength and cardio blast in a heated space designed to push limits and ignite transformation.

To get an extra cardio hit we’ve also introduced ski machines in the hot room. This brings a turbo-charged cardio component to every workout - for next-level endurance and calorie burn, and keeping our Hyrox athletes on top of their game.

Working out in 38°C heat with kettlebells isn’t just about getting sweat-soaked - it’s about maximising performance, efficiency, and recovery (with a good dose of mental grit too).

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 38°C kettlebell workout is intense and efficient - you get full-body strength training, cardio, and conditioning in one powerful 60 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.
