Welcome to FORGED—where strength isn’t just built, it’s earned. Where every drop of sweat is sacred, and every rep is a return to self. I’m Devindra Somadhi. My life’s been a blend of intensity and intuition—from skateboarding as a kid to walking through spiritual fire, from corporate collapse to inner resurrection. I’ve learned that the body is not a machine—it’s a message. And FORGED is how we learn to read it. FORGED trains through boxing, calisthenics, skateboarding, violin and dancing. Here, we train through paradox: Grit is your fuel. Soul is your compass. Presence is the result. FORGED is more than a workout. It’s a method for remembering your strength, your grace, and your reason for rising. You bring the fire. I bring the form. Together, we get to the root—and we rise.See more

Julia D. says, "Fitness journey update! 💪🏼 I started training with Rico 3 years ago 2-4 times a week and it's been an incredible ride. Boxing is my passion, but we also mix it up with cardio and weight training at the gym. The results speak for themselves - my body and health have improved so much! Rico's guidance on nutrition and food prep has been a game-changer. Thanks, Rico, for helping me become stronger and healthier woman 🙏"See more
