ABOUT FORGED
Our
Story
Built From Experience. Designed for You.
Forged Fitness and Boxing was founded in 2020 with the simple but powerful belief that fitness should be personal, purposeful, and transformative.
​
After years spent honing his craft in strength training and boxing, Alex Badlissi set out to create something different: a space where every client, no matter their starting point, could find strength through individualized programming and hands-on coaching.
​
As a USA Boxing Certified Coach and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Alex brings elite-level experience with a down-to-earth, client-first approach. Whether you’re an athlete chasing peak performance, a beginner learning the basics, or someone reclaiming your mobility and confidence, Forged Fitness and Boxing meets you where you are, and pushes you further.
​
Built in the heart of Needham, Massachusetts, Forged Fitness and Boxing offers more than workouts. We offer a personalized, elite training experience that challenges you, celebrates your progress, and transforms your potential into real-world results.
Our
Philosophy
Personalized. Purposeful. Powerful.
At Forged Fitness and Boxing, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs or one-size-fits-all training. Every client brings a different story, a different drive, and every program we build reflects that.
​
Our philosophy is simple: training should serve the individual. Whether you're sharpening your edge, a youth athlete building foundations, or someone navigating physical challenges like Parkinson’s disease, your goals guide the journey.
​
We focus on precision in technique, in programming, and in coaching. Every movement has a reason. Every session has a purpose. It's not about doing more, it’s about doing better.
Strength, skill, and resilience aren’t given, they’re forged. Through smart programming, disciplined coaching, and relentless commitment from both sides of the mitts.
