Our Story
Founded in 2009, The Forge is one of the oldest functional fitness communities in the Santa Barbara area. From our humble beginnings in the Funk Zone of downtown Santa Barbara, our fitness family has steadily expanded over years to become the largest fitness community in the area.
Moving into our new Canon Perdido facility has been the most recent stage of our evolution. At over 6000 square feet of gym space, we are now free to offer so much more than just functional fitness classes. As we settle into this new space, we plan on becoming a veritable fitness community center for Santa Barbara county.
We pride ourselves on teaching and practicing functional fitness safely, in order to create fitness lifestyle that can be sustained for decades to come. Regardless of your current fitness ability or background, you will find a place at The Forge.
