Forge founder Michael S. Parker explains how personalized coaching works, what each coaching level includes, and how to decide which level of support best fits your goals.

 
Why Forge

Coaching Built on Evidence, Not Trends

Forge has served thousands of clients across more than 60 countries since 2017. Our approach combines private, one-on-one video sessions, ongoing support through the Forge app, and a dedicated professional who understands your history, monitors your progress, and adjusts your coaching as your needs change.

Training, nutrition, recovery, and daily habits do not operate independently. Forge coaches them together, using current evidence, professional judgment, and real-world feedback to help you make progress safely and build results you can sustain beyond the next workout or diet.

“Habit alteration is a slow process, and quitting won’t speed it up.”

Michael S. Parker, Founder of Forge

Credentialed Coaches, Not Algorithms

Forge coaches combine relevant education, respected professional credentials, and real-world experience. They use that expertise to understand your progress, make informed adjustments, and coach the person behind the data.

Are you taking a GLP-1?

Coaching Built for GLP-1 Users

GLP-1 medications can be valuable tools for weight management, but they do not replace resistance training, adequate nutrition, recovery, or sustainable habits. Forge provides personalized fitness, nutrition, and habit coaching that complements your medical care and helps you pursue weight loss while supporting strength, function, and long-term health.

Forge does not prescribe or manage medication. Clients should continue working with their prescribing clinician for medical guidance and side-effect management.

  • Personalized resistance training and nutrition targets designed to support strength and lean-mass retention
  • Coaching strategies that account for appetite changes, reduced energy, hydration, food tolerance, and other factors that can affect training and nutrition
  • Sustainable habits that support long-term health whether you remain on medication or later transition under medical guidance

FAQ

Common Questions

Clear answers about coaching, billing, equipment, and getting started.

What is included in a Forge coaching plan?

Every plan includes personalized training, nutrition coaching, habit support, progress tracking, and unlimited in-app messaging. The main difference between Standard, Complete, and Premium is how often you meet privately with your coach.

Is there a long-term contract?

Forge coaching is billed monthly and does not require a long-term contract. You may cancel by sending your coach a written request through the Forge app at least 10 days before your next billing date.

I am taking a GLP-1 medication. Can Forge work with me?

Yes. Forge provides personalized fitness, nutrition, and habit coaching that can complement the treatment plan established with your prescribing clinician. We emphasize resistance training, adequate nutrition, recovery, and sustainable habits to support strength, function, and lean-mass retention. Forge does not prescribe medication or manage medical side effects.

What if I do not have a gym membership?

Not a problem. Your coach builds your program around the equipment and space available to you, whether that is a commercial gym, a home setup, resistance bands, or bodyweight training.
