Coach & Founder

Hayden Richards

I'm Hayden Richards — powerlifting coach and the person who built ForceTrack because I was frustrated with how little visibility most coaches have into what their clients are actually doing.

I got into coaching because I saw too many people spending years in the gym making no progress — not because they weren't working hard, but because nobody was watching. Their trainer was on their phone. Their program was the same as everyone else's. Their form was slowly drifting and nobody noticed.

ForceTrack started as a tool for my own clients. Now it's the backbone of how I coach — every session logged, every lift tracked, bar path analysis on video so I can see exactly what's happening on your heaviest sets.

I coach people who are serious about getting stronger. You don't have to be a powerlifter. You don't have to have any experience. You just have to be willing to show up and do the work.

Philosophy

What Forged Fitness believes

01

Strength is for everyone

You don't need to compete to train like an athlete — you don't need any experience either. Anyone can benefit from structured, intelligent strength training.

02

Attention is the job

The best program in the world fails if nobody's watching whether you're doing it right. That's what coaching actually is.

03

Long term over short term

Sustainable progress built on real data beats quick fixes every time. Programs are built to last, not to burn you out in six weeks.

Why ForceTrack

A custom app, built for real coaching

ForceTrack was built specifically for Forged Fitness athletes.

It's what lets coaching stay personal, even at a distance.
