For the man who knows there's more to life than the one he's living now. Are you doing what you love? Do you have the structure and discipline to build the life you actually want? REBUILD is engineered to take you from where you are now in life to becoming the man you were created to be. Forge — your AI guide Through a detailed onboarding process, Forge learns where you are now, and where you want to be. With that information, Forge generates your personal plan. Every morning Forge delivers five daily missions across the pillars that build a man one day at a time: - Training & Nutrition - Critical Mission 1 - Critical Mission 2 - Family Leadership - Spiritual Growth As you continue to build daily habits, stack wins, and gain momentum, Forge continues to recalibrate as you grow. The Grind — your defining challenge The Grind is a physical event only 1% of men your age commit to. Forge selects it based on your age and experience level, then designs a training plan that requires a minimum of 90 days to prepare. Examples: a 5K, a half marathon, a sprint triathlon, 15 strict pull-ups, a full marathon, an Ironman. This isn't a 90-day challenge. It's a 90-day transformation toward an event that proves something. Train. Execute. Finish. Built for finite transformation Most men's apps make good men more productive. REBUILD helps lost men become themselves again. Five pillars. One defining Grind. Daily execution that compounds into who you're becoming. This is the app that reforges the man — and a system that keeps him sharp after. Founders Club — $9.99/month 30-day free trial. Price locked for life. Limited to the first 20 men in. After Founders Club fills, new pricing tiers will be introduced at higher monthly rates. Subscription Terms - Monthly auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID - Cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings — no cancellation fees - Free trial converts to paid subscription unless canceled at least 24 hours before trial ends - Privacy Policy: https://rebuild-by-forge.netlify.app/privacy.html - Terms: Apple Standard EULA
