Workout app for iPhone · Free beta

Other workout apps keep your numbers. Forge keeps your story.

Your progress photos, the chapters of your life, the programs you finished, the squads you trained with, the PRs that mattered, all kept for life.

And it’s still one fast app for lifting, running, food and a coach. Miss a week and nothing is lost.

It’s free during the beta. After that, your training history stays free to read.

Why I built Forge Isaiah Altamirano, Forge’s founder, flexing with a friend at the gym
“I’ve tried a lot of workout apps. I liked parts of each, but my training ended up scattered: progress pics in a photo album, numbers in spreadsheets, workouts in whichever app I was using. I wanted one place that kept all of it. A place where I could also cheer on my family and friends, and help push them toward their goals. So I built Forge.”
Isaiah Altamirano, founder

Training

Log a set in one tap. Even offline.

Lifting or running, this is the screen you’ll live in. It’s quick between sets, maps your route on a run, and saves every rep as you go, even with no signal.

The Record
Hold to seal it. Keep it for good.

Beat last time. Every lift.

Finishing should feel like something. Press and hold to seal the workout and it joins your permanent record, with your volume, your time under iron, and how every lift compared with last time. It’s how you see progress that’s too slow to notice day to day.

  • Save any day as a template.
Nutrition

Eat for the gains you’re chasing.

Your food and your workouts, finally in one place. Log a meal in seconds and see at a glance whether you’ve eaten enough to recover, to build, or to lean out.

Coach Holt

Stuck on a lift? Holt has a fix.

Most plans don’t fail on day one. They stall in week five, when a lift stops moving or life gets in the way. Coach Holt reads your training, spots what’s stuck, and tells you what to do next. Nothing changes unless you say so.

What testers are saying

★★★★★
“Just wanna say thank you for making this app. Really has helped me in my gym life and has given me guidance with it. Before I was scared to workout in front of others because I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing but having a program has boosted my confidence”
Moses R. · Beta tester
★★★★★
“LOVE this app. I’ve used quite a few different apps for the gym and this beats them all. All the features in one app. I like how everything tracks and can customize it just how I like. Took me a week to get totally comfortable with all the features but totally worth it!”
Nate W. · Beta tester
★★★★★
“Forge has made exercising a no brainer. I no longer have to plan what I’m going to workout, I can just clicked in and start the workout that was pre-programmed for me. No planning or thinking required. Super easy! Definitely recommend.”
Benjamin P. · Beta tester

Brady P. · Beta tester
★★★★★
“Forge Legacy lays out the perfect blueprint for how to achieve actual fitness milestones. I’ve hired trainers, used other apps, and tried doing it by myself but Forge Legacy by far has been the best recourse I’ve used to help me stay motivated in the gym and also customize my entire work out plan to whatever my current goals are. I’d recommend this app to anyone who’s looking for something new and wants a new challenge!”
Braiden W. · Beta tester
★★★★★
“Interface is super clean and I love the social integration. Being able to compete against my friends daily and see a running record is awesome.”
Weston P. · Beta tester
Chapter I progress photos with a note: Not stoked about these. Need to get back into it and take the cut serious.
Transformation: progress photos, chapter by chapter

See how far you’ve come.

Take progress pics in the app and they’re kept in the chapter they belong to, next to the workouts and PRs from that stretch. Not lost in your camera roll.

  • Front, side and back, flexed or relaxed, in a few taps.
  • Add a note so you remember what that stretch felt like.

Miss a week. Keep everything you built.

Streaks punish you for one missed week. Forge doesn’t. Your rank measures years of training, not last week. Take a year off, come back, and it’s all right where you left it.

Inside a sealed chapter
Name a season of your life

A chapter for every cut, comeback and first meet

A chapter is a stretch of training with a point to it, like “Coming Back From Injury” or “The Year I Got Serious.” You name it, you decide when it ends, and you write down what it meant.

  • Workouts, records, honors, photos and goals collect in the chapter you’re in.
  • Close it and it’s sealed. It can be added to, never rewritten.
Squads

Friends who notice when you skip.

The best motivation isn’t strangers. It’s the few people who notice when you skip. A squad is your small, private crew: see each other train, cheer each other on, and chase goals together. And if you’d rather go it alone, all of Forge works solo.
