What members say

I cancelled two other subscriptions after a month. The programmes are the first ones I have actually finished, because someone finally explained the tempo instead of just listing sets.

The Pro form review caught a hip shift I had been training around for a decade. One video call undid more than a year of physio appointments.

I am 51 and came back to lifting after twenty years off. The beginner rotation met me where I was instead of pretending I was 25. Down 11 kg, still strong.

Back to the plans

Yes — permanently. Every article, investigation and review stays open to everyone. FORGE+ funds the reporting by adding the training library, the lab data and the podcast feed rather than by putting up a paywall.
