Forge Fitness

Workout tracker for iPhone

It never makes a number up.

Forge Fitness logs your lifts, your cardio and your recovery, then tells you what your own data actually supports. When it supports nothing, it says so. Every target it suggests is computed from sets you really did.

Free while it’s in testing. Coming to the App Store.

The Forge Fitness home screen: a week calendar, a recovery band reading Ready with last night’s HRV, resting heart rate and sleep, and the day’s planned workout.

The rule

Most fitness apps fill the gaps. This one leaves them.

A readiness score invented from three numbers looks confident and means nothing. Forge would rather tell you it doesn’t know. Everything below is taken from inside the app.

Judged against your own normal

Your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate are compared with your own usual, not a chart built from other people. Every number comes from your watch, your ring, or you.

It says when it doesn’t know

When your recovery and your lifting don’t line up, Forge says so instead of manufacturing a pattern out of a dozen sessions.

A record says what it beat

Every personal record says whether you beat the weight or the reps, and by how much. No estimated one-rep max dressed up as a PR.

No guessing on day one

With nothing to compute from yet, Forge explains the blank instead of guessing a starting weight for you.

What it does

Lift, cardio and recovery, in one place that keeps them straight.

Lift

Fast to log, honest to read

  • Your last session sits beside the set you’re typing
  • One suggested weight or rep goal, worked out from your own history
  • Real personal records: heavier than ever, or more reps at a weight you’ve done
  • A rest timer that runs on your Lock Screen and your Apple Watch
  • Warm-ups and drop sets never inflate your volume or your records
Cardio

Each machine logs what it measures

  • Treadmill, bike, stair climber, rower, elliptical, SkiErg, runs and walks
  • Apple Watch workouts import themselves, no retyping
  • Counts toward your streak without polluting your lifting numbers
  • A hybrid plan that puts your key runs where your legs can take them
Recover

Your own normal, not a population average

  • HRV, resting heart rate and sleep from Apple Health, Oura or WHOOP
  • Every reading judged against your own baseline, never a chart in a textbook
  • A verdict that changes the session, never whether you train
  • Cycle tracking that connects phases to your training, if you want it

Inside

Real screens, not mockups.

Every one of these is the app running on a phone, on a demo account. No drawn-up interface that doesn’t exist yet.

Home screen with the week calendar, a recovery band and today’s planned workout.
Today. Your week, last night’s readings, and the session waiting for you.
Insights screen showing this week’s sessions, volume and PR days, and a recovery-versus-progress comparison.
Insights. How your mornings actually relate to your lifting, with the gaps left in.
Exercise detail screen with an animated demonstration, numbered instructions and a coaching tip.
Every exercise. A demonstration, written steps, and the one cue that matters.
Progression charts showing top-set estimated one-rep max over time for several exercises.
Progression. Every point labeled, because a graph you can’t read is decoration.
Workout summary with total volume, personal records, and a body map of the muscles trained.
After the session. What you lifted, what you beat, and what you actually worked.

You

Decide what a friend can see, reading by reading, and can take it back at any time.

The whole privacy policy is about one screen long, because there genuinely isn’t much to say.
