FAQ
Straight Answers About Forjex
- What is Forjex?
- Forjex is an iPhone app for strength training. It combines a workout tracker, AI form check, macro tracker, readiness score, squads and coaching in one app with one training record.
- Is Forjex free?
- Yes, the core is free. Workout tracking, squads, challenges, leaderboards and limited form analysis cost nothing. Forjex+ adds the AI layer, and Forjex Coach adds the coaching workspace.
- Is Forjex on Android?
- Not yet. Forjex is iOS first: an iPhone app with an Apple Watch app. Coaches can also work from the web app in any browser.
- Does Forjex need an Apple Watch?
- No. Logging, form checks, food and squads work on iPhone alone. An Apple Watch adds workout logging from the wrist and the sleep and heart data behind the readiness score.
- How does the AI form check work?
- You film a set on your iPhone. Forjex AI scores the lift and points to the reps where depth, bar path or joint position broke down. It flags technique; it does not replace a coach.
- Where do the macro targets come from?
- Forjex sets calorie and macro targets from your own TDEE, calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation from your body data and activity. You log food by search, barcode or photo.
- What is the readiness score?
- Readiness reads your sleep, heart rate variability and resting heart rate from Apple Health and compares them with your own baselines, not with population averages.
- Does Forjex use kilograms or pounds?
- Both. Forjex stores every figure in metric and shows kilograms or pounds, and kilometres or miles, by your preference.
- Can I import my training plan?
- Yes. You can import a plan, build your own, or, with Forjex+, ask Forjex AI to propose one from your goals, schedule and equipment. AI changes wait for your approval.
- Can I hire a coach in Forjex?
- Yes. Coaches list a public profile, and you can message them, start coaching and pay inside the app. Your coach then sees the training you log.
Workout Tracker
- Is the Forjex workout tracker free?
- Yes. The workout tracker is part of the free plan, with your last 30 days of history, squads and leaderboards. Forjex+ keeps a longer history.
- Can I log workouts on Apple Watch?
- Yes. Forjex has an Apple Watch app for logging sets from the wrist.
- Does it track kilograms and pounds?
- Yes. Forjex stores weight in kilograms and shows kilograms or pounds by your preference.
AI Form Check
- Which lifts does the form check cover?
- It is built for barbell lifts such as the squat, bench press and deadlift, and works on other recorded lifts too.
- Is the AI form check free?
- The free plan includes limited form analysis. Forjex+ expands it.
- Can AI replace a coach for form?
- No. It flags obvious technique errors quickly. A coach still reads context the camera cannot see.
Macro Tracker
- Does Forjex scan barcodes?
- Yes. Forjex scans food barcodes and can log a meal from a photo.
- How are calorie targets set?
- From your TDEE, calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation from your height, weight, age and activity.
- Can my coach see my food log?
- Only if you work with a coach in Forjex and share it. Coaching access is controlled by you.
Readiness Score
- Do I need a Whoop or an Oura ring?
- No. Forjex reads the sleep and heart data Apple Health already holds.
- Which data does readiness use?
- Sleep, heart rate variability and resting heart rate, compared with your own baselines.
- Does readiness work without an Apple Watch?
- It needs overnight heart data, which usually comes from an Apple Watch through Apple Health.
Squads and Challenges
- Are squads free?
- Yes. Squads, challenges and leaderboards are part of the free plan.
- What can a squad challenge count?
- Workouts, training volume, active energy, distance, exercise minutes or readiness.
- Do my squad mates see all my data?
- No. Each member chooses which metrics the squad can see.
Find a Coach
- How do I find a coach in Forjex?

- Can a coach change my plan without asking?
- Your coach assigns plans in Forjex, and you see every change in your training plan.
- I am a coach. Can I list myself?
- Yes. Forjex Coach gives you a public profile, a client roster and payments.
AI Workout Plan
- Is the AI workout plan free?
- AI plans are part of Forjex+. The workout tracker itself is free.
