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 believe in observing how your body responds, identifying and removing the current bottlenecks, and making the adjustments necessary to keep progress moving forward.

The goal is purely to perfect the process of getting you to your physique goals whether that is stepping on a stage, fitting into an old pair of pants, or anything in between.

The method is individualized coaching.

​

MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Leave no stone unturned, look at all the data, analyze each potential choice, and keep putting our best foot forward.

To simplify, my coaching philosophy is observation, interpret, adapt. Being proactive rather than reactive to always stay ahead of the progress bottlenecks and always progress at the best rate we can.

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

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

Most of all, to be able to bring the highest quality coaching I can... Never stop learning.

ABOUT ME

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

​

What started as a passion for sport training throughout high school, and a generous serving of no direction in life, led to me getting certified to train in 2017. That passion quickly became a passion for fully understanding all that went into it. 

But throughout my teens and early twenties, I struggled with chronic digestive and hormonal issues for the better half of a decade, making progress far more complicated than "train hard and eat 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.

This part of my history unintentionally carved out a bit of a niche for me, being gut health and hormone health. I don't consider myself the guy for one specific thing. There is an expert in every field, I just aim to learn as much necessary information as possible.

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 of progress.

​

I am located in the Kansas City, MO area but offer my online services to all. If you ARE in the Kansas City area, I HIGHLY recommend coming down to Flex Fitness Gym... I offer my in person training here ONLY, and I am beyond grateful to be able to. This is home. right where I want to be. We have all of the most crucial pieces of the puzzle in optimizing the system right here in one place. ​

​

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, not afraid of a little elbow grease... you are. The more you give it, the more I can.

Let's make progress a constant, not a question.

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.

NOT an AI coach btw - I'm big on that. It's a great tool to simplify life. Crock Pot recipes, math problems, etc.

But this is actually me. Hi there! And if you are choosing me as a coach, you'd be partnering in your journey WITH ME. Expect more than you are used to.

I would never sacrifice the integrity for convenience.
