Nutrition

Food

Nutrition is coached the same way as training: simple, consistent, adjusted as you go.

This week’s plan

Meal prep notes

Sunday: cook 1.2 kg chicken or a tray of tofu. Rice for four days.

Chop greens and citrus once. Keep them in glass, not a bag. If a meal doesn’t fit the day, swap protein for protein.

Check in

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Keep it honest.

Weekly nutrition check-in

Energy, hunger, adherence.

Text your coach

If something doesn’t fit the day, text your coach.

Before you go

Pause or leave

This program works because of consistency. If you need to pause, text your coach first so the plan can be adjusted instead of dropped.

On your own vs. Forge

Your gym has the iron. Nobody has a plan.

A membership gets you in the door. It doesn’t tell you what to lift, what to eat, or notice when you stop coming.

Who it’s for

Busy, capable, stalled.

An empty gym at sunrise, light through tall windows

You’ve bought the membership. You’ve tried the app with 400 workouts. You know what to do, and you still don’t do it two weeks in a row. That’s not a discipline problem. It’s a plan problem. Here you get two or three fixed days, a coach who runs the session, and food that’s already decided. You just walk in.

  • You work full days and train around them
  • You’ve started over more than twice
  • You want strong, not just tired

What changes in 12 weeks

Twelve weeks. Three blocks.

01

Weeks 1–4

Learn the lifts

Squat, hinge, press, pull. Light enough to learn, heavy enough to count. You leave every session knowing why.

02

Weeks 5–8

Load the bar

The weights go up on a plan, not a mood. Food gets dialed in around your training days.

03

Weeks 9–12

Own the routine

Three days a week stops being a decision. It’s just what you do. You test your numbers in week 12.

13

Week 13

Next block

New numbers, new program. Same days, same time.

Four steps

How it works

  1. Pick your days at checkout. Your first month is the deposit, and your first week is held as soon as it’s in.

  2. Sixty minutes, warm-up to last set. Ryan picks the weights, watches the reps and adjusts on the spot.

  3. Training-day and rest-day plans, a Sunday prep list, and a weekly check-in on energy, hunger and sleep.

  4. Every block ends with a re-test. Missed a week? Text your coach and the plan moves instead of falling apart.

About the coach

The person behind the plan.

I coach a small group of people with real jobs and real lives. I don’t sell programs to strangers. I run your sessions, I write your food, and I notice when you’re not there. Three days a week is enough if you actually do them. My job is making sure you do.

Show up. I’ll handle the rest.

Iron is old.

People have gotten strong the same way for over a hundred years: show up, lift, eat, sleep, repeat. We just make sure you do it.
