FORGE

How Forge works

Mostly pictures. Five minutes, then a quick quiz.

Step 1

Tap the day. Tap what you did.

Coloured squares — days you already logged.

The one thing everyone gets wrong

Points are per day — not per workout

Gym
8am
+
Cricket
6pm
= 5 pts

Same day = one day. Log both anyway (they show in the feed and count on your profile) — but the score asks only one question: did you show up?

So: six days of one workout beats two days of three. Forge rewards showing up often, not doing more in one go.

Step 2

What counts?

✓ Counts
  • Gym, weights
  • Run, cycle, swim
  • A 45-min walk
  • Cricket, football, padel
  • Yoga, pilates, physio
  • Home workout, HIIT
  • Dance, martial arts
  • …every one with a photo
✕ Doesn't
  • Anything with no photo
  • A 38-minute walk
  • Walking to the car
  • Housework, shopping
  • Standing at a wedding
  • Tonight's planned workout
  • Someone else's workout
Every workout needs a photo in the WhatsApp group. Gym, run, cricket, yoga — all of it. No photo, it didn't happen. That is what the group chat is for.
Walks have one extra rule: 45 minutes minimum. They're the easiest thing to over-claim, so the bar sits higher. 38 minutes doesn't make it — the line has to sit somewhere or it isn't a line.

That's the whole system, and it's why Forge works where a private tracker doesn't: the photo makes it real to somebody other than you.

Step 3

Two streaks, one pays

Yours

Days in a row you logged. Worth 0 points — it's pure pride, and that turns out to work better than points.

Your team's

If enough of you log the same day, it grows — and it does pay, up to 3 a day.

3 of 5

Streak
grows

Just over half your team, rounded up. Not everyone — but you do need each other.

If your team misses it, you still keep your 5 points. You're never punished for someone else's rest day.

Why it stops at 3

Day 3Full value.
+3
Day 4, 5, 20, 60…Stays at 3. This is the ceiling.

Without a ceiling the maths runs away: a 30-day team streak would pay +30 a day, and a group that got hot in week one could never be caught. Everyone else would stop trying — which is the opposite of what the streak is for.

Capped at 3, it stays a habit rather than a jackpot. A long streak is worth holding for its own sake, and a group having a bad month is always still in the game.
