Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about Reforge, clearly explained.
Reforge is an app for nutrition and training. You can track just your nutrition, just your training, or both - it is your choice. It works for people going solo and for people working with a coach.
General
What is Reforge?
Reforge is an app to track your nutrition and your training and follow your progress. You can use it for either one or for both. Coaches can also use it to guide their clients.
Who is Reforge for?
For anyone working on nutrition or training: from complete beginners to people who have trained for years. Also for coaches who want to follow their clients in one place. You need no experience to start.
Can I use Reforge for nutrition, training or both?
Both is possible, but not required. When you start you pick a focus: just nutrition, just training, or both. What you do not use stays hidden, and you can change your choice anytime.
Can I use Reforge without a coach?
Yes. Most people use Reforge on their own, without a coach. If you want guidance later, you can add a coach without starting over.
Which languages and countries is Reforge available in?
Reforge is available in six languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The app works anywhere with internet; the coach and gym search is strongest in Belgium today.
Nutrition
Can I track calories and macros?
Yes. You log your meals and Reforge adds up your calories, protein, carbs and fats. You see where you stand each day. More on the nutrition page.
Can I search foods or scan barcodes?
Yes. You search foods in a large database or scan a product barcode. You can save your own meals and portions to log faster next time.
Is Reforge suitable for weight loss, muscle gain or maintenance?
For all three. You set your goal and Reforge calculates a calorie and macro target that fits it. Combine it with training and you see nutrition and effort together.
Can I follow a nutrition plan or recipes?
Yes. You can build meals into a plan and save recipes with their nutrition values. If you work with a coach, they can set up a plan for you.
Do I have to weigh everything?
No. Weighing is the most accurate, but you can also work with portions or standard amounts. Start rough and refine as you get used to it.
Training
Can I log my workouts, with sets, reps and weight?
Yes. For each exercise you record your sets, reps and weight. Reforge keeps your history so you can see how you did last time. More on the training page.
Does Reforge include exercises?
Yes. There is a library of exercises with guidance, and you can add your own. That lets you build a workout that fits the equipment you have.
Can I track my progress?
Yes. Reforge shows your progress per exercise and estimates your 1RM (your max strength for one rep). That way you can see in numbers whether you are getting stronger.
Is Reforge suitable for strength training, fitness, home and the gym?
Yes, all four. You can log a session with free weights at home just as well as a workout at the gym. Because you pick your own exercises, it fits any style.
Can I follow a training plan?
Yes. You build a plan with your own exercises and repeat it week after week. If you work with a coach, they can set up and adjust the plan for you.
Coaches
How does coaching work in Reforge?
A coach and you share the same app. The coach sees your nutrition and training, sets up plans and gives feedback. You stay the owner of your data. You can find a coach via Find a coach.
Do I pay Reforge or the coach?
Both, separately. To Reforge you pay your own app subscription (see pricing). The fee for the coaching itself is arranged with your coach and is separate from the app.
How do I find a coach?
Via Find a coach you browse the profiles of coaches on Reforge. You can pick someone based on their specialization and approach and contact them directly.
Can I become a coach and manage clients?
Yes. On For coaches you read how to manage clients, build plans and follow their progress. Coaches are vetted first; the page explains how to apply.
Do I need a coach to use Reforge?
No. Reforge works fully on its own. A coach is an extra, not a requirement; you can add one or drop one at any time.
AI features
Does Reforge use AI?
Yes, in a few places: to analyze your nutrition and training and to make suggestions. AI is a helper alongside the regular features; you do not have to use it.
Can I log food or training by voice?
Yes, on the plans that include it. You speak what you ate or trained and Reforge turns it into a log. Handy when typing feels too slow.
Can AI help build workouts or nutrition?
Yes. AI can propose a first draft of a training plan or a nutrition plan based on your goal. You then adjust it yourself; it is a starting point, not a fixed prescription.
Is AI advice checked?
Treat AI suggestions as suggestions, not facts. They are meant to get you going, but you stay in control, and your coach can review them. When in doubt, a human judgment always comes first.
Does Reforge replace a doctor, dietitian or personal trainer?
No. Reforge is a tool to track and adjust, not medical advice. For health issues or a tailored diet, consult a professional. A real coach can guide you through the app, though.
Account, privacy and payments
Do I need an account?
Yes. A free account keeps your data safe so you can pick up where you left off on any device. You can sign up without a credit card.
What data does Reforge store and is my data safe?
Reforge stores what you enter yourself, such as your nutrition, workouts and progress. Your data is not sold. How we handle it is set out in the privacy policy.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can delete your account and your data. What that involves and how to request it is explained in the privacy policy.
What does Reforge cost and which payment methods are there?
You can start for free and upgrade later for extra features. The current prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page.
Can I use Reforge on my phone?
Yes. Reforge works in the browser on your phone, tablet and computer, and you can add it to your home screen as an app. Your data stays the same everywhere.
