Does Titan Forge Offer A Training Program Without 1:1 Coaching?

Yes. The App + Community membership, $49.99/mo, includes the 90-Day Transformation Program inside the TITAN FORGE app. It is 90 days of resistance training organized by muscle group, with progressive overload built into the programming. App access continues while your membership is active, and the membership also includes the Titan Forge Science-Based Community on Telegram for training, nutrition and research questions.

The community on its own is $24.99/mo. A program gives you the plan; it does not watch your technique or change the plan for you. That is the difference from 1:1 coaching with Steve "Doc" Ginevan, PhD, founder of Titan Forge Fitness in Englewood, Colorado, where a coach reviews your feedback each week and adjusts training and nutrition. See the App + Community membership and the Science-Based Community for what each one includes.

When Is A Program Enough, And When Do You Need Coaching?

A program is enough when you already train consistently, can judge your own recovery, and mainly need a structured plan to follow. Coaching is the better fit when the plan keeps breaking down: missed weeks, stalled progress, unclear technique or food decisions you cannot settle on your own.

Premium Coaching is $750/mo with scheduled video calls, Standard Coaching is $400/mo with phone or pre-recorded Loom check-ins, Nutrition Only is $200/mo, and App + Community is $49.99/mo. Prepay five months on any 1:1 plan and the sixth month is free. A program can also be a first step. If following it shows that what you are missing is feedback rather than a plan, coaching is the next move. No plan or program promises a specific result; outcomes depend on your starting point, consistency and recovery. Compare the options on the pricing page, or apply for coaching.

What Makes A Training Program Work?

Enough weekly work per muscle, increased over time. A 2017 meta-analysis in the Journal of Sports Sciences (Schoenfeld and colleagues, PMID 27433992) analyzed 15 studies and found a graded dose-response relationship between weekly training volume and muscle growth: each additional weekly set per muscle was associated with a 0.37 percent greater gain in muscle size.

That is why a good program counts sets per muscle across the week and adds load or sets as you adapt, which is what progressive overload means. More is not endlessly better: the extra work only helps if you can recover from it, and that limit is different for everyone. Read how many sets per muscle per week and what progressive overload really means.

How to read the 0.37 percent figure

The figure is an average slope across the studies in the analysis, not a promise that every added set adds the same amount for every person. Most of the included studies ran for weeks to a few months, and the analysis could not say exactly where the benefit levels off. Treat it as evidence that volume matters, then let your recovery decide how much of it you can use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are programs standalone products?

Program paths are shown conservatively.

When should I choose coaching instead of a program?

Choose coaching when you need form feedback, nutrition changes, accountability, or help adjusting the plan when progress stalls.

Who can use a structured program?

A structured program can fit someone who already understands basic follow-through, can self-monitor recovery, and mainly needs a plan to follow rather than weekly decision support.

Can a program become coaching later?

Yes. A program can expose whether the missing piece is the plan itself or the feedback loop around the plan. If follow-through keeps breaking, coaching is the next step.

Why are program details conservative?

Public offer names, support levels, pricing, and inclusions need final approval before the site publishes them as fixed product promises.
