POLE FITNESS, STRENGTH TRAINING AND BODY CONDITIONING
"If there is no struggle,
there is no progress"
Carys Davies
Carys has been a student at The Forge for around 4 years and has performed alongside me in the past. She has been an erotic model for around a year, and has taken up boxing, as well as studying for a degree and being a single mum. She is walking proof that women can be strong, independent AND sexy.
Carys has been my apprentice instructor for around two years, helping with group classes and offering tips on exotic pole. She is now more than ready to lead her own classes and excited to help women find their own empowerment.
ABOUT ME
Martine Conway
With an interest in Performance and Performance Art spanning over 10 years, I have been a qualified fitness instructor since 2014. I am a single mum of 4, and I'm also currently studying a BSc in Psychology and Counselling Services.
I became interested in fitness and body conditioning after I broke my back in my late 20s, in an attempt to ensure as easy a rehabilitation as possible. My injury inspired me to commit to working on my own strength and conditioning, which in turn had a monumental part in improving my mental resilience at a difficult time in my life. This drive to care for my own body and mind developed into a want to help others on this journey too. I work to offer fitness sessions that are adapted to the learner in order to create a safe, relaxed and enjoyable environment for my students, and encourage them to try new things, find their own strength and most importantly, have fun.
SESSIONS
An array of different workout sessions are offered at The Forge's large home studio, which is furnished with 2-3 Xpoles depending on group size, yoga equipment including mats and blocks, exercise ball, and a variety of weights.
The Forge has also recently welcomed Carys Davies to the family, our new exotic pole instructor - which means pole classes can now be offered with a focus towards fitness with Martine, or towards something sexier with Carys!

STUDENT STORIES
"I've been training with Martine for around 2 years after being recommended to her by a friend. I've always really struggled with my weight and because of this, found it hard to find exercise that I enjoyed and felt at ease doing. Martine creates an atmosphere that is totally fun and comfortable, something that I have never found in a sport before, and although it's been a hard journey I've never looked back. I'm more self confident than I've ever felt and so glad I started!"
CATHY, STUDENT
"I started learning pole dancing at The Forge just over a year ago, about 8 months after having my second child. I was hoping just to get fit and have a bit of a laugh, but it's definitely surpassed that expectation! Not only is it great fun, I'm stronger than I've ever been in my life and my confidence has excelled. I can't recommend The Forge enough."
DENISE, STUDENT
"I have been coming to The Forge for pole fitness classes for a year now and still love it. I have never stuck to any other fitness classes for this long before. Every class is fun and relaxed and I always learn something new, which gives a sense of accomplishment. Martine is a keeper!"
