Where ForgeSport diverges from Freeletics
Built for lifting, not HIIT
Freeletics focuses on bodyweight HIIT and running. ForgeSport is built around barbell/dumbbell lifting with progressive overload.
RPE + DOTS progression
Freeletics tracks reps and time. ForgeSport tracks loads, RPE, RIR, and normalizes strength via DOTS across bodyweight and sex.
One-tap biomechanical alternative
A gym constraint doesn't block your session. Alternatives recalculate the load automatically.
