Everything you need to know before you step into the Forge.
The Forge is designed to work with dumbbells and a resistance band as a minimum. A barbell and rack unlock the full Phase 3 (The Steel) programming, but we provide alternatives for every exercise if you're training at home or with limited equipment.
100% on demand. Every workout, guide, and piece of content is pre-recorded and available to stream any time, on any device. There are no scheduled classes — you train on your schedule, not ours.
Most sessions run between 30–55 minutes. Phase 1 (Foundation) tends to be shorter as you build your base. Phase 3 (The Steel) sessions can run closer to an hour. We also include express 20-minute options for days when time is tight.
No. Phase 1 (The Foundation) is designed as your entry point regardless of where you're starting from. Whether you've been lifting for years or are picking up weights for the first time, the program meets you where you are and builds progressively from there.
The program is structured around 3–4 sessions per week. This is intentional — recovery is built into the design, especially important for women over 45 where hormonal changes affect how the body responds to training stress.
Both plans give you full access to all four Forging Phases, the complete workout library, nutrition and recovery guides, and the community. VIP Annual saves you over $100 compared to monthly, and includes your exclusive Morani Forge welcome kit — a branded t-shirt and water bottle shipped to your door. VIP members also get early access to new phases and exclusive member workshops.
Monthly members can cancel at any time with no penalty — your access continues until the end of your billing cycle. Annual members can cancel renewal before their next billing date. We don't do long lock-ins or hidden fees.
We offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If within your first 14 days you feel the Forge isn't right for you, reach out and we'll sort it out. We're confident you'll feel the difference — but we stand behind our community.
Your t-shirt and water bottle ship within 3–5 business days of your VIP Annual membership being confirmed. You'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking. Currently shipping to the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
The Forge is designed specifically with perimenopause and menopause in mind. The program accounts for hormonal fluctuations, joint sensitivity, and recovery needs. That said, we always recommend consulting your physician before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have existing health conditions.
Phase 1 (The Foundation) specifically addresses joint health, mobility, and stability before any heavy loading begins. We build the structural foundation first. If you have a specific injury or condition, we recommend discussing with your physical therapist — and always provide lower-impact alternatives for every exercise.
No. After 45, estrogen decline makes it significantly harder — not easier — to build large muscle mass. What strength training does do is build lean, functional muscle that improves metabolism, bone density, posture, and how you feel in your body. The "bulky" concern is one of the most persistent myths in women's fitness.
The Morani Forge community is a private digital space for members — a place to share progress, ask questions, find accountability partners, and connect with other women who get it. VIP Annual members get access to the inner circle, which includes exclusive challenges and member-only events.
The Forge is a fully digital, on-demand platform — we don't offer private one-on-one coaching. The programming is built to be comprehensive and self-guided, with enough education and progression built in that you don't need a personal trainer to get results.
You can reach our team at hello@moraniforge.com. We typically respond within one business day. For technical issues with your account or membership, include your account email and a brief description of the issue.
