FitForge Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. What makes FitForge unique?

   Three things most fitness apps don't do: 1. Workouts adapt to what you actually lift. If you stall 3 weeks,
   auto-deload. If you crush every session, volume goes up. 2. Macros rotate by training day. Push day = high carbs. Rest day
   = low carbs. The meal plan changes with the workout intensity. 3. Streaks without freeze days. Show up or lose it. No loophole.
   Built solo by one person in 6 weeks. Free forever.

2. Why should a person choose FitForge over its competitors?

   If you want adaptive workouts + training-day-aware macros + a streak system that actually works (no freeze days), FitForge is the only one I've found that does all three. Strong is great for simple logging. MyFitnessPal is great for
   calorie counting. But neither does what FitForge does.
   Free forever, no premium tier hiding the good stuff.

3. How would you describe the primary audience of FitForge?

   Beginner to intermediate lifters (18-50) who want a real program without the overhead of a personal trainer. People who count
   macros by hand and want it automated. Anyone tired of fitness apps with freeze days that make streaks meaningless.
   Solo founder, no team — built it for myself first.

4. What's the story behind FitForge?

   I built FitForge because I kept hitting the same 3 problems with every other fitness app: workouts reset every week, macros were static, and streaks let you freeze skipped days. I'm a solo developer with no fitness background — just a lifter who wanted better tools. After 6 weeks of building, I shipped it
   publicly. It got 4 upvotes on Product Hunt (rank #106), 7 real
   comments on IndieHackers, and a stranger offered to run free
   validation work for me.
   The hardest part isn't writing the code. It's saying "I don't
   know if anyone will use this" out loud.

5. Which are the primary technologies used for building FitForge?

     Next.js 15 (App Router) + TypeScript strict
     Supabase (Postgres + Auth + RLS)                                                                                                                 
     Stripe (billing + webhooks)
     Vercel (hosting)
     Sentry (error tracking)                                                                                                                          
     Sentry (error tracking)                               
     PWA via Workbox (works on iOS Safari + Android Chrome)
