Filter by body part or equipment, search by keyword, and save your go-to moves to favorites. [ SMART PLAN GENERATOR ] Stop copying someone else's spreadsheet. Pick your goal (build muscle, lose fat, tone up), your level (beginner / intermediate / advanced), how many days a week you can train, your session length, and the equipment you actually own. FitForge builds a full weekly schedule for you — push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full-body splits — with every day's exercises, sets, reps, and rest already figured out. [ JUST FOLLOW ALONG ] Open today's workout, complete each exercise in order, and mark it done to auto-start the rest timer. Finish the session with one tap to check in, and watch your streak grow. [ CHECK-IN CALENDAR ] A clean month view shows your training rhythm at a glance. Streak tracking helps you build the habit; cumulative workout counts and total minutes make consistency measurable.
