## Description

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.<br><br>WHAT YOU GET<br>• A programme generated around your goal, experience, training days and session length<br>• An AI coach that knows your programme and your history — ask it about form, swaps, niggles or pacing<br>• Set-by-set logging built for the gym floor: pre-filled targets, one-tap confirm, steppers instead of keyboards<br>• Automatic progression and block adaptation when your performance or adherence changes<br>• Personal records, benchmarks and progress insights that update as you train<br>• Live sessions with a timer that captures a split for every component<br>• Body metrics with optional progress photos, kept private to your account<br><br>TRAINING THAT FITS THE DISCIPLINE<br>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.<br><br>OPTIONAL READINESS FROM HEALTH CONNECT<br>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&#39;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.<br><br>FOR GYMS AND COACHES<br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>RECOVERY-AWARE TRAINING (OPTIONAL)<br>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.
