THE COACHES

GOOD COACHING
CHANGES THE
WORK.

A program tells you what to do. A coach sees how you’re doing it, knows when to adjust and understands when you’re ready for more.

THE COACHING STANDARD

ATTENTION IS
PART OF THE JOB.

Good coaching isn’t about being the loudest person in the room. It’s knowing what to watch, what to change and when to let the work speak for itself.

PAY ATTENTION

See the person, not just the program. Coaching starts with watching how you move, how you respond to the work and what changes from session to session.

MAKE IT CLEAR

You should understand what you’re doing and why. Good cues are specific. Good explanations are useful. The goal is clarity you can carry into the next rep.

ADJUST WHEN NEEDED

The plan serves the person — not the other way around. Load, movement, volume and approach can change when the situation calls for it without losing the purpose of the session.

KNOW WHEN TO PUSH

Progress sometimes requires more. A coach should know when you’re capable of another rep, more load or a harder progression — and when forcing it would add nothing.

COACHING OPTIONS

HOW MUCH SUPPORT
DO YOU WANT?

You don’t need the same level of coaching as everyone else. Choose the structure that gives you enough direction to keep moving forward.

COACHED GROUP


STRUCTURE WITHOUT DISAPPEARING INTO THE ROOM.

Follow FORGE programming alongside other members while a coach leads the session, watches the work and makes adjustments when you need them.

BEST FOR:

Members who want consistent structure, coaching and the energy of training with others.

PERSONAL COACHING


MORE ATTENTION. MORE INDIVIDUAL DIRECTION.

Work directly with a coach around your goals, starting point and training needs, with programming and guidance shaped more specifically around you.

BEST FOR:

Members who want individual programming, closer coaching and more specific direction.

COME TRAIN

PUT GOOD COACHING
BEHIND THE WORK.

Choose the level of support that fits how you want to train and start building from there.
