BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. FOR YOU.

FROM BRAZIL TO MARRICKVILLE

My name is Pedro and I'm from Brazil. Growing up I played football, handball and swimming but my relationship with the gym was a mess. Hot start for 3 months, burn out, disappear, repeat. I wasn't happy with my body and nothing was sticking. Then at 22 I found CrossFit and everything changed. Not just my body but my mindset. I started to understand that my body was a tool and the better I looked after it the better everything else got. I started competing. I started coaching. And I realised that the thing that made the biggest difference wasn't the programming or the equipment. It was the community. That's when I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

Our programming is built to keep you training for the long haul. Feeling good in your body for years to come is the goal, not just looking good for summer.

Every session is led by a coach who knows your name, watches your movement and pushes you at the right moment. You will never feel like just another face in the crowd.

Our people support each other and our coaches genuinely care. If you join us you will feel that from day one and we expect you to pay it forward too.

Whether you are chasing a competition podium, your first pull up or just want to show up and feel better, there is a place for you here.

FROM SYDNEY'S BEST GYMS

I moved to Sydney in 2018 and spent years working my way through some of the city's best fitness communities. Over 8 years I learned programming, operations and most importantly what it really takes to build a community that lasts.

THE STORY BEHIND Forte

THE NAME

Forte means strong in Portuguese. My language, my roots. The logo was designed with the Brazilian flag in mind, the green and the star. A little piece of home sitting right in the heart of Marrickville.

Born in January 2026

Late 2025 my business partner and I decided it was time to build something from scratch. Something that felt like us. Forte Training Club opened in January 2026 and we have never looked back.

Why It Matters

I got into coaching to make an impact on people's lives. But honestly the impact has gone both ways. Every member who has walked through a gym door and trusted me with their fitness journey has shaped me too. I am deeply grateful for that.
