Answers to common questions about WOD Forge. If you don't find what you need, email us directly — we read every message.
Open the app and type in the composer — for example "Give me a 20-minute AMRAP" or "Build a full one-hour session, intermediate". Tap a suggestion to start instantly. The coach replies and drops a workout card into the chat; tap it to see the full detail.
To change anything, just keep chatting: "swap the pull-ups for ring rows", "make the loads lighter", "add a strength piece". The coach updates the same card. You can write in any language.
You can also photograph a whiteboard or attach a screenshot of a workout: tap the camera / photo control in the composer. The coach reads the WOD and writes it as a session.
No. There's no sign-up and no login — the app works the moment you open it. The AI is built in; you don't need to bring your own API key.
No. WOD Forge is a subscription, with the first seven days free — everything included, nothing held back during the trial. After that a subscription is required to keep using the app.
Two things never need a subscription: exporting your training and deleting it.
Open a session card and tap Start. The timer follows the structure of that workout (For Time, AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, and rest between blocks). A countdown runs, then the clock starts. The screen stays awake, and buzzer sounds mark the countdown, start, round changes and finish (toggle sounds in Settings).
You can put the phone down mid-workout — the timer keeps running on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. When you finish, you're prompted to log how it went.
When you log a score, the app compares it to your previous results for that workout. For timed WODs the fastest time wins; for AMRAPs the most rounds+reps wins. Your current record gets a PR badge in History and on the workout page, and you'll see a "New PR!" note when you beat it.
Yes. In the composer, take a photo of a whiteboard or attach a screenshot. The coach transcribes the movements and writes a session card you can start, edit, or time.
Install WOD Forge on your Apple Watch (it installs automatically with the iPhone app). Start the session on your iPhone: the Watch app records live heart rate and calories during that workout and can save it to Apple Health. The iPhone timer is the clock; the Watch is the heart-rate recorder. The iPhone app is fully usable without a Watch.
Check permissions: open the Health app → your profile → Apps → WOD Forge, and make sure "Workouts" (and, on Watch, Heart Rate / Active Energy) are enabled. You can also toggle "Save workouts to Apple Health" in the app's Settings. Only workouts finished with the built-in timer are written.
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. On your iPhone open Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → WOD Forge, where you can switch between monthly and yearly, or cancel. Cancelling keeps your subscription active until the end of the current period.
Open the subscription screen from Settings and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you used to subscribe. If it still doesn't unlock, email us with the approximate purchase date.
Your workouts, scores and settings are stored on your device. When you chat with the coach, your message, a short training summary, and any photo you attach are sent (securely) to generate the reply — never used to train AI models. Apple Health measurements stay in Apple Health; the coach may receive a one-word recovery verdict computed on your iPhone. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Export or delete everything in Settings → Data & privacy, or delete the app to remove all on-device data. Export and delete never need a subscription. There's no server-side account to erase.
