Personal trainer é caro. Planilha pronta não evolui. O Forging é o meio-termo que faltava: um coach inteligente que monta seus treinos toda semana, conversa com você e ajusta tudo conforme seu corpo responde. Você não segue um plano genérico. Você treina com um coach que te conhece. SEU COACH, 24 HORAS POR DIA • Fale com ele no chat como falaria no WhatsApp: "troca o treino de hoje", "semana puxada, pega leve", "quero focar em pernas" • Ele responde, ajusta o plano e remonta seus treinos na hora • A cada treino feito, ele aprende: cargas, ritmos e volume evoluem com você TODOS OS SEUS ESPORTES, UM PLANO SÓ • Musculação, corrida, natação, ciclismo, calistenia, crossfit, yoga e mobilidade • Combine esportes na mesma semana sem sobrecarregar o corpo • Preparação completa para provas: meia maratona, maratona, Ironman 70.3 e mais REGISTRE E EVOLUA • Grave corridas e pedais por GPS: distância, ritmo e trajeto • Registre séries, cargas e repetições com timer de treino • Metas de performance com prazo — e um coach que treina você para batê-las • Progresso real: volume, recordes, sequência de treinos e análise pós-treino SEU CORPO NO COMANDO • Conecte Apple Saúde, Whoop, Garmin, Strava, Oura, Fitbit ou Polar • Recuperação baixa? Sono ruim? O coach adapta o treino do dia • Importe seu histórico do Strava e comece com treinos no SEU ritmo — desde o primeiro dia TREINE JUNTO • Comunidade para seguir amigos, compartilhar treinos e dar aquele gás • Perfil público ou privado — você escolhe quem vê GRÁTIS PARA COMEÇAR Gravar atividades, comunidade e progresso: de graça, para sempre. O Forging Pro libera seu coach e os treinos personalizados — com teste grátis para você provar antes. Forje sua melhor versão. — Forging Pro é uma assinatura auto-renovável (mensal ou anual).

TrainingPeaks's advantage is chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
