About this app

Academia da Força – Strength Training for Youth, Backed by Science and Purpose Welcome to Force Academy, the first Portuguese fitness app entirely dedicated to structured strength training for children and teenagers — grounded in science, guided by pedagogy, and driven by a clear mission: to raise stronger, more confident, and more capable young people. Created by Gonçalo Castanha, a personal trainer, researcher, and PhD candidate in Physical Activity and Health with over 15 years of experience, this platform is here to transform how families, schools, and clubs approach youth fitness and development. For too long, strength training has been postponed to adulthood due to myths and outdated fears. Today, science is clear: well-guided training is safe, effective, and essential for healthy growth, motor literacy, and injury prevention. Force Academy brings this knowledge into practice — with scientific rigour, personal guidance, and real impact.

What the App Offers:
Personalized training programs tailored by age group, experience level, and personal goals;
Interactive videos and content, with exercises adapted for each developmental stage;
Progress tracking dashboards for users and coaches, with automated reporting;
Direct communication via push notifications, chat, and feedback alerts;
Educational content to enhance body awareness and physical literacy;
Integrated payment and invoicing system;
Strong scientific foundation, supported by academic research and proven methodologies;
Accessible anytime, anywhere – at home, in schools, clubs, or gyms.

More than just a training app, this is a tool for human development, designed to:
Support the young athlete striving for excellence;
Empower children needing confidence and motor skills;
Guide families committed to active, healthy lifestyles;
Equip schools and institutions with a reliable youth training solution.

From Madeira Island, Portugal — land of resilience and talent, and birthplace of Cristiano Ronaldo — to the world, Force Academy is a project with identity, vision, and purpose. Force Academy. Because when we raise stronger youth, we build stronger adults.
