Build muscle and get stronger with a customized workout plan. Forge is a personal trainer that builds every strength training session around you: your fitness goals, your schedule, your experience, your equipment, your injuries. Home workouts or gym days, the plan fits the equipment in front of you and adapts every week as you progress. Ask your coach anything, any time. Form checks mid-set. The 7am question about training on five hours of sleep. Answers come back in seconds, from a coach that remembers everything you tell it. Other apps ignore questions or email back a day later. A human trainer charges $75-150 an hour. A year of Forge costs less than that. Every rep gets logged, every PR recorded. Whether you train to build muscle or lose weight, watch your progress climb with strength trends for every lift and a body weight chart, all on a dashboard you can customize. Every exercise comes with step-by-step instructions and a visual demo. Download Forge today and start your free 7-day trial.

Slept 5 hours. Should I still lift today?" Your coach: "Yes, lighter though. I cut today's volume by a third and moved the heavy squats to Saturday." PICK YOUR COACH The same advice lands differently depending on who says it. Choose yours: • Stone: ex-military. Tough love, zero excuses. • Maya: patient and supportive. Celebrates every win, especially the small ones. • Mike: your gym buddy. Keeps training fun so you keep showing up. • Reese: data-driven, technique-obsessed. All business, all progress.

"Does a great job at giving me new workouts and reminding me of last weeks progress. Letting me know how my progression is going." "I used to waste so much time wandering around the gym wondering what to do next, but this app completely eliminates that decision fatigue."
