The Forge builds you a training programme, then keeps it honest. It adapts as you log, so the plan matches the athlete you are this week — not the one you were the day you started.

WHAT YOU GET
• A programme generated around your goal, experience, training days and session length
• An AI coach that knows your programme and your history — ask it about form, swaps, niggles or pacing
• Set-by-set logging built for the gym floor: pre-filled targets, one-tap confirm, steppers instead of keyboards
• Automatic progression and block adaptation when your performance or adherence changes
• Personal records, benchmarks and progress insights that update as you train
• Live sessions with a timer that captures a split for every component
• Body metrics with optional progress photos, kept private to your account

TRAINING THAT FITS THE DISCIPLINE
Strength, hybrid racing, functional fitness, running and general fitness. Pick your discipline and the programme is built around it — including a full peaking block when you set a race date.

OPTIONAL READINESS FROM HEALTH CONNECT
Grant permission and The Forge reads your heart-rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep to work out how recovered you are, then tunes the intensity of that day's session. It is read-only, never sold, never shared, and never used for advertising. Revoke it any time in Health Connect — the app works without it.

FOR GYMS AND COACHES
Gyms provision The Forge for their members under their own branding, with a coach dashboard for programmes, check-ins and progress. Ask your gym if they run it.

Health disclaimer: The Forge provides fitness guidance, not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any exercise programme, and stop if you feel unwell.

RECOVERY-AWARE TRAINING (OPTIONAL)
Connect Health Connect and The Forge reads three recovery signals — heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep duration — to work out a daily readiness score. Under-recovered, the coach prescribes an easier session; fresh, it pushes. The data is read-only, never written back to Health Connect, never shared, and deleted automatically after 30 days. Entirely optional: the app works fully without it.
