For GLP-1 Users

GLP-1 Fitness and Nutrition Coaching Built Beyond Weight Loss

Medication can change your appetite and the number on the scale. It does not build strength, organize your nutrition, or create the routines that hold either one in place.

Plans from $125 /month

Three coaching levels. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Forge provides fitness, nutrition, and habit coaching. Forge does not prescribe, dispense, or manage GLP-1 medication.

Beyond the Scale

Weight Loss Still Requires a Plan

That leaves three jobs, and none of them happen on their own. Your coach builds a plan for each, then adjusts it as your appetite, your schedule and your strength change.

Strength

Build and Protect Strength

Resistance training built around your current ability, your equipment, and any limitations you bring.

  • Personalized strength programming
  • Progression based on your performance
  • Live or submitted-video form review
Nutrition

Create Practical Nutrition

Nutrition shaped around your appetite, your schedule, and the food you actually eat, not a rigid menu.

  • Protein and meal structure
  • Hydration and food-quality priorities
  • Adjustments as your appetite changes
Habits

Build Repeatable Habits

Habits are what outlast the prescription. Your coach turns what already works into routines you keep.

  • Realistic weekly habits
  • Habit tracking in the Forge app
  • Coach review of what is sticking

The Medication May Be One Tool. Your Plan Determines What You Build Around It.

With Your Clinician

Your Clinician Prescribes. Forge Builds the Rest.

You need both. Medication takes the weight off. Training and nutrition decide how much of that loss is lean mass.

Forge Coaching

  • Lean mass, strength and training capacity
  • Protein, hydration and appetite changes
  • Routines that outlast the prescription

Licensed Clinician

  • Medication eligibility, prescribing and dosage
  • Diagnosis, laboratory testing and monitoring
  • Side effects, symptoms and treatment decisions

Forge can follow documented restrictions or medical instructions you provide, but medication and clinical decisions remain with your healthcare provider.

What the research shows about lean mass

Weight Comes Off. Not All of It Is Fat.

Forge combines progressive resistance training with adequate protein to help preserve muscle while the weight comes off.

How It Works

Choose Your Plan. Start With a Real Coach.

No application and no sales call. Your plan is built from what you tell us, not from a template.

  1. Choose Your
    Coaching Level

    Standard, Complete or Premium, by how often you want a private session with your coach.

  2. Complete
    Your Onboarding

    Your goals, experience, equipment, schedule and any limitations you bring with you.

  3. Receive a Truly
    Personalized Plan

    Your coach builds your training, nutrition and habits around you, not a template.

  4. Meet, Communicate
    and Adjust

    You train, you meet your coach on video, and the plan changes as you and your progress do.

More Than Numbers

Your Coach Can See How You Are Moving.

  • Live Form Checks

    Review selected movements during a scheduled private video session.

  • Submitted Video Review

    Record an exercise and send it through the app for coach feedback.

  • Technique Corrections

    Your coach can change your cues when a movement needs refinement.

FAQ

Common Questions. Clear Answers.

What Forge does and does not do, what every plan includes, and how to get started.

Does Forge prescribe or manage GLP-1 medication?

No. Forge provides fitness, nutrition and habit coaching. We do not prescribe, sell or dispense GLP-1 medications, recommend dosage changes or manage medical treatment. Those decisions remain with your licensed healthcare provider.

Can I enroll without scheduling a consultation?

Yes. Choose Standard, Complete or Premium and enroll directly through the pricing section. A free consultation is available when you have questions or want help comparing plans, but it is not required.

Do I need a gym or previous training experience?

No. Your coach builds the program around your experience, current ability, available equipment, physical limitations and schedule. Programs can be designed for a commercial gym, a home gym or minimal equipment.

Are the workouts live, and how do form checks work?

Most workouts are completed independently using your personalized program. Your coach can review selected exercises live during scheduled video sessions or through videos you submit, then provide corrections and adjust the program when needed.

What is included with every coaching plan?

Every plan includes personalized strength and cardio programming, nutrition and habit coaching, unlimited in-app messaging, progress tracking, ongoing program adjustments, exercise demonstrations and live or submitted-video form review.

The main difference between plans is the number of scheduled 30-minute private coaching sessions each month.

Which coaching plan should I choose?

Standard includes one private session per month and fits more independent clients. Complete includes two sessions and provides more frequent feedback. Premium includes four sessions and is designed for weekly accountability and closer oversight.

You can enroll directly or use the optional consultation when you need help deciding.
