Forge Softball is sport-specific strength and conditioning built for the real demands of fastpitch — not random workouts, and not generic lifting that never transfers to the field. Every session is programmed by Michael Cole and delivered through the Train Heroic app, with new programming every week. The whole team runs the same plan, and you can jump in today right where the cycle is — no waiting for a new block. It's generalized team programming written for every position: pitchers, hitters, and position players all train the same foundation — rotational power, shoulder and arm health, speed, and durability — with the position-specific emphasis built in as blocks inside the program. One program, every position. And when you join, you're not buying a PDF — you're on the leaderboard with every softball athlete running this program nationwide. You see their work, they see yours, and that's what keeps you showing up.
Michael Cole
All programming is written by Michael Cole — former two-sport athlete, current professional wrestler, and co-owner of 4Balance Fitness, with over 40 years of playing and training experience. 4Balance Fitness is the official strength & conditioning partner of The Vault, where athletes train their skills steps from where they build the body underneath them.
Fastpitch softball players from youth through high school, college, and adult rec — any position. You'll want access to a basic weight room (barbell, dumbbells, bands, a med-ball). Start anytime; jump into the current week.
