Forge
A gym site that shows what a membership actually costs over the whole term, including joining and maintenance, instead of a monthly figure that hides half the bill.

Design decisions
Each of these came out of researching how this trade actually sells, not from a style preference.
- 01
Publishes the total payable across the whole term alongside the monthly figure, so a joining fee cannot appear for the first time at the desk.
- 02
States plainly that a one-month plan costs the most per day — information that pushes buyers toward the honest choice rather than the impulse one.
- 03
Personal training explicitly flags that gym access is NOT included, which is the commonest source of membership disputes.
- 04
Class sizes are capped and the cap is published, because it is the difference between coaching and crowd management.
- 05
First theme on the landing archetype: acid-green on near-black, uppercase Bricolage Grotesque, tile cards. A membership is a lead, not a catalogue item.

How it’s built
The specifics matter because they determine what the site costs to run, how fast it is, and whether you can move it later.
- Stack
- Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4
- Rendering
- Fully static export — every route is prerendered HTML, independently crawlable
- JavaScript
- No animation or UI library. Design tokens applied as scoped CSS custom properties
- Accessibility
- Semantic landmarks, labelled controls, visible focus, prefers-reduced-motion honoured
- Hosting
- Deploys to any static host including cPanel shared hosting — no Node runtime required
Suited to
- Gyms and strength studios
- Businesses competing against opaque monthly pricing
- Studios running capped group classes
- Anywhere personal training is sold alongside membership
What it doesn’t include
Stated up front rather than discovered later.
- No payment gateway or membership management. Enquiries route to WhatsApp, which is how most independent gyms sign members.
- Trainer names and certifications are placeholders and must be verified before publishing.
- Facility photography is the biggest upgrade available here and is not included.
- Built on RootPro's theme engine: 5 routes, with this theme's own palette, typefaces, card anatomy and layout variants.
