## What is The Forge?

The Forge is your AI strength & conditioning coach — a personalised training partner that builds your programme, adapts it to how you're recovering, and coaches you through every session.

WHAT YOU GET
• A programme built for you. Tell the coach your goals, experience, equipment and schedule and it generates a periodised training block — strength, functional fitness, hybrid racing or a blend.
• A coach that listens. Chat with your AI coach any time for form cues, swaps, pacing and answers — it knows your programme and your history.
• Recovery-aware training. Connect Apple Health and The Forge reads your HRV, resting heart rate and last night's sleep to flex today's session to how recovered you actually are.
• Fast, tap-first logging. Pre-filled targets, one-tap set confirmation and steppers — log a session without fighting a keyboard.
• Built for real disciplines. Benchmark workouts, hybrid-race stations and race simulations, personal records and progress tracking.

Train smarter, recover better, and see the work add up.

Apple Health data is read only to personalise your training. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and you can turn it off at any time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-08

Train now starts today's session in two taps. Requires iOS 15.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-22

This update asks what you can actually do before building a programme — eight taps, not a fitness test. Sessions sit only on the days you marked, so a four-day week stays four.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-11

Your free trial, said out loud.

Both plans now show the 7 days free before you commit. The trial was always there — the App Store applied it at purchase — but the app never mentioned it, so it arrived as a surprise rather than a reason.

Membership covers the AI: your generated programme, the coach chat, and the analysis after each session. Everything else stays free, permanently — logging, history, splits, personal records, body metrics, photos and progress. If your gym covers your membership, nothing changes for you. If you were already using The Forge before 4 August, your access continues unchanged.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-09

Membership arrives, and it covers one thing: the AI.

Your generated programme, the coach chat and the analysis after each session now need a membership. Everything else stays free, permanently: logging, history, splits, personal records, body metrics, photos and progress. If your gym covers your membership, nothing changes for you. If you were already using The Forge before 4 August, your access continues unchanged.

A calendar that actually moves. Sessions can be pushed to another day from a proper calendar page, so a missed session gets rescheduled instead of sitting there going stale.

Your gyms, visible. See the gyms you belong to, choose which one you are looking at, and leave one you have moved on from.

Fixes: the coach sheet no longer hides behind the keyboard and follows your latest message; sending twice in quick succession can no longer duplicate a message; and the Apple Health connection is now named after what it actually reads.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-30

No release notes.
