Everything your studio runs on

What it does

Forge, in the trade's own words

  • Book with a tap

    The month at a glance, the day's classes with the coach and open spots, and credits always in view. Book, cancel and rebook in seconds; a reminder lands in the gym thread the day before.

  • See the plan

    Open a class and read the whiteboard before walking in: movements, sets and the coach's notes. Log results and they join the record.

  • A record the coach confirms

    Attendance is marked by the coach, not the honor system. A profile draws it as a body map: the muscles worked, and the ones not.

  • Flag an injury, train around it

    Mark a region on the body map and the coaches see it when they plan. The injury feature only ever suggests; a coach decides.

  • Talk to the gym

    One thread to the front desk for questions and event invites, and direct messages with coaches. With permission, the desk's first answer can be drafted by an AI assistant; say no and the staff answer instead.

  • Dues, packs and the shop

    Memberships, class packs, drop-ins and the studio's own shelf. Every member sees what they owe and what they have paid.

  • A movement library at the core

    A library of movements and the muscles they work, which the whiteboard, the body map and the injury loop all draw on.

  • For coaches and owners

    The same app with more tools: plan classes, keep the weekly timetable, confirm attendance, trade and cover shifts, answer the gym thread and keep the studio's books.

Seen on a phone

Four screens, as they look today

Shown with a demo studio, Copperline Strength: every name and figure in it is invented.

  • The calendar: the member's next booked class at the top with its coach, the other classes they have booked under it, and the days of the month.

  • A class plan: the warm-up and the work, each movement with its sets and the coach's notes, and a Book button beside the open spots.

How it works

Made for the way a gym actually runs, with the calendar at the center and everything else hanging off it. The app speaks each studio's own words for its rooms, its staff and its people, because a gym that calls itself a studio should not be called a gym.

Good to know

  • Dues, class packs, drop-ins and the shop are the studio's own, paid to the studio; Forge takes no cut of them.
  • Studios start on the web, and there is no public list of them, so each studio's community stays its own.
  • No ads, and nothing about you is sold. A member can delete their own account from their profile, at any time.
  • To use Forge you need an account at a studio that runs on Forge: sign in, or create an account and join your studio with the handle it gave you.
