- Multi grip and angled pull up bars

Included
Support.
Our own crew does all of this. None of it is an add on you buy later. It is how a Forged gym gets built and kept running.
Design and Fit Blueprint
Brendan owns Forged and he is the one who shows up. He comes to your house, maps out where every piece is going, and makes sure the fit and the flow are right before anything gets ordered.
White Glove Delivery and Install
Our crew brings it in, lays the flooring and builds the whole room. You do not lift anything, assemble anything or sit at home waiting on a freight truck.
Forged Owners Club, 1 Year
We come back out twice inside the first year, service the machine, and make sure everything is functioning as it should.

FORGEDWe Don't Sell Equipment.
We Build Environments.
Most of our clients are busy professionals and families who wanted a real home gym without becoming a contractor to get one.
Most people spend weeks researching equipment, guessing at the layout and fighting with freight companies, then end up with a garage full of gear they do not use. Forged does it differently. One call to understand your room and what you want out of it. Then our team designs it, delivers it and builds it, and you train in it on day one.
"From start to finish Brendan at Forged Fitness helped us create the perfect exercise space. He worked within a budget and offered solutions and equipment that worked perfectly for our needs. Can't say enough positive things about Forged!"
"My experience with Forged was first class. From the consultation through final install, the team maintained a consistently high standard. Transparent, knowledgeable, efficient and reliable. Get fit and strong using your home gym — not from installing it. Leave that to the professionals."
"From start to finish, Forged took care of everything. Built me exactly what I needed in my garage. Now I can work out with the family from home. Worth every penny."

Southeast Michigan homeowners who want a real home gym and will actually train in it. You had to own your home and be within 25 miles of Novi, MI.
The $20,983.56 is four things added up: the complete Excalibur equipment package, the Design and Fit Blueprint, white glove delivery and installation, and a year of the Forged Owners Club.
Everyone who applied hears from us either way, by email and text. Applying does not obligate you to anything. If getting the gym built this year is still on your list, we are happy to talk it through with you like we would with any homeowner.
No purchase was required to apply. The application was free. If you are selected, we go through your options and what it involves on a call, starting with the in home gym Blueprint.
We usually build for homeowners within about 90 minutes of Novi, MI. For this scholarship the radius was tighter. The winner has to be within 25 miles of Novi.
Once you are selected and book your Blueprint Call, we usually go from design to done inside 2 weeks. You book the call, we confirm your room and your install date, and our team takes it from there.
The faster you book the call, the sooner we get you on the calendar. People who move quickly are usually installed inside 2 weeks. People who sit on it can be looking at 4 to 6 weeks depending on how full the install schedule is.

Yes. On the Blueprint Call you can add things like cardio or extra attachments at our normal prices. The scholarship covers the Excalibur package as listed above. Anything on top of it is priced the way we price it for everyone.
We're your neighbors. Brendan and Lynsey, the owners of Forged, born and raised in Southeast Michigan. We build home gyms for families in our own community every week.
A few times a year, when our install calendar and inventory allow it, we give one of those gyms away as a full ride scholarship. It's our way of putting a finished gym into a neighbor's home that might not do it otherwise.
Selfishly, it also puts us in front of more homeowners who want a real home gym. We'd rather invest in building one life changing gym locally than just pour the same dollars into another ad.
