I didn’t train for HYROX the “right” way.

I coached, ran two businesses and trained around real life. Most weeks, that meant 4–5 kettlebell sessions at FORGE - building strength, resilience and an engine that could handle more than I expected.

I made it to The Yard The Yard Athletic Cape Town in Cape Town three times (love this place!), and Must Love Hills MustLoveHills RUNCREW (you GUYS! All the love) helped bring my head and my pace - back into the running game.

Race day was not perfect. The scoreboard failed, I ran an extra lap, and I kept moving. I also got to share the day with judges (FORGE coaches in the mix too Jo 🇿🇩 The Movement Life Tyler Mento | Strength & Conditioning Coach ) supporters and a whole lot of brilliant energy.

3rd place, Women 40–44.

The takeaway is simple: you do not need perfect conditions. You need consistency, strength and the willingness to keep showing up.

Built by kettlebells. Built at FORGE.

BRING ON 2027!

đŸ”„ HELLS BELLS - OUR HELLRAISERS đŸ”„
14 days. A ridiculous amount of kettlebells. And some seriously impressive humans.

#1 THE HELLRAISER - SINO MKAZA Active
14 CLASSES IN 14 DAYS. Sino understood the assignment. She showed up. And showed up. And then apparently thought, f*ck it, I’ll show up again. An absolute machine. Consistency wins. Every bloody time.

#2 THE RELENTLESS AWARD - NATASCHA KUEHL Natascha Kuehl + MEG WAYT Megan.
12 CLASSES EACH. Twelve classes in two weeks! These two just kept coming back, working hard and pushing. Hats bloody off! GET IN you legends.

#3 HELLRAISER SPIRIT AWARD - MEG WAYT Megan.
Yep. Meg gets anothery darn award. But this one isn’t about numbers. In just two weeks we watched Meg’s form, technique and confidence completely change. She listened, learned, pushed herself and got stronger with every class.

And THAT is what Hells Bells was really about. Not just who did the most classes. Not who lifted the heaviest. Showing up. Getting stronger. Building confidence. And finding out what you’re capable of.

Bloody proud of these three AND every single HELLRAISER who threw themselves into the last two weeks. You lot absolutely smashed it. Thank you for your hard work AND YOUR TIME. We are so proud of ALL of you! FORGED through, showed up (even when feeling sh*te) and proofed that you are absolute MACHINES! We LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you REVIVE | Daily Electrolytes for keeping our HELLRAISERS going! And of course, those badass prizes đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„

NEXT HELLS BELLS - SPRING TOUR - OCTOBER. Let’s HAVE IT!!!!

50+ CLASSES.
THOUSANDS OF REPS.
COUNTLESS SWEARS.
ONE HELL OF A LOT STRONGER.

And the mad thing? FORGE is only heading into month eight.

To already have members crossing 50 classes is f*cking awesome.
That’s not a few good weeks. That’s consistency.
Showing up when you’re tired, busy, stressed or really couldn’t be arsed.
Choosing to get stronger again and again.

And from our side.. THANK YOU. 🧡

You choose to spend your time with us.
You trust us with your training.
You keep walking through those doors and bringing the energy that makes FORGE what it is.

The equipment doesn’t build this place.
You lot do!!

Welcome to the 50+ CLUB.
You’re officially FORGED. đŸ”„

And unfortunately, 50 classes does not earn you immunity from burpees. Our windmills. Or swing-squats. Or swing-lunges. If you know, you know.
