What each week held
Withheld: something was read in 1 week of the last 12. A series needs at least 2 to say anything a single reading does not.
What it declares
- 1-on-1 human coach matching
- custom weekly workout plans
- daily coach messaging/accountability
- flexible/adjustable scheduling
- Apple Health/Watch integration
- coach-switching
- DEXA scans and lab testing (Pro tier)
- nutrition and dietitian guidance (Pro tier)
As the company’s own pages describe it. Forge did not test any of these.
What users raised
- high monthly price ($199+)
- no real-time in-person coaching
- limited data without compatible smartwatch
- feels impersonal vs in-person training
Themes people raised in public. A complaint is somebody’s opinion, not a measurement of the product.
