Welcome to Forge Physique.

​

There are a lot of ways to build a physique.

Different training styles work. Different diets work. Different approaches work.

The question isn't what works.

The question is what works best for you.

That's where my coaching comes in.

I don't believe in forcing athletes into rigid systems or cookie-cutter plans. I believe in observing how your body responds, identifying and removing the current bottlenecks. making the adjustments necessary to keep progress moving forward.

The goal is results.

The method is individualized coaching.

​

MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY

To simplify, my coaching philosophy is this:

Observe.
Interpret.
Adapt.

The body is constantly providing physiological feedback, leaving clues...

My job is to help you understand what that feedback means and use it to make the right decisions. 

Whether the goal is building muscle, losing fat, improving performance, or stepping on stage, the process remains the same.

The body leaves clues. Learn how to read them.

ABOUT ME

I'm Karl Forge - Full System Coach - ISSA certified Trainer/Nutritionist/Bodybuilding Specialist/Strength & Conditioning Specialist

​

What started as a passion for training throughout high school led to me getting certified to train in 2017. That passion quickly became a passion for fully understanding it. 

But throughout my teens and early twenties, I struggled with chronic digestive and hormonal issues, making progress far more complicated than simply train hard and eating more.

I had to put my bodybuilding journey on pause and search for answers, life hit. Those challenges forced me to learn all I could about digestive and hormonal health which cascaded into many other avenues of study. That curiosity eventually became an obsession, and that obsession is very much still alive today. It became the foundation of my coaching philosophy. Never stop learning.

That philosophy alone saved me and made it possible to finally, fully partake in what I love and teach again. 

Today my goal is simple:

Use the tools I have to help people achieve the best results possible through thoughtful, individualized coaching built around how their body responds.

I have spent allot of time in the gym training over the years, and my former clients could likely tell you...I am so clearly passionate about this, I would lift the weight for them if I could. I just love the process and watching the progress happen.

​

I am located in the Kansas City, MO area but offer my online services to all. That being said, I recently became part of the Flex family. If you ARE in the Kansas City area, I HIGHLY recommend coming down to Flex Fitness Gym... I offer my in person training here and I am beyond grateful to be able to. This feels like home already, right where I want to be. This is hands down the best gym environment I have witnessed. Nothing but comradery and hard working people who are extremely dedicated to their craft. Just look the place up and see the discography for yourself. Best machinery I have gotten to use too, and that's saying something because I have used it all. I believe that in bodybuilding, these are some of the most crucial pieces of the puzzle in optimizing the system. They are a bodybuilding focused gym equipped with everything needed for success on the stage, including a posing room.

So, local clients will have the ability to take advantage of hybrid coaching, where we can put extreme emphasis and attention on every aspect on your journey

READY TO GET STARTED?

If you're looking for a coach who will simply hand you a plan and disappear, I'm probably not the right fit.

If you're a hard worker, invested in the process, who communicates consistently... you are. If you're ready to adhere to a plan that best fits you and adapts as your body adapts...

I'd love to work with you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. Reach out by any of the way below or hit the CONTACT ME button.
