Your Fenix 7 tracks HRV, sleep, and Body Battery with precision. Forma translates that data into a daily strength prescription — the feature Garmin hasn't shipped yet.

The gap
The Fenix 7 is a serious watch with serious sensors. HRV status, Body Battery, sleep score, Training Readiness (7 Pro), and training load — the biometric data is there. The strength programming is not.
Fenix 7 owners have been asking for Strength Coach since 2024. It shipped on the Fenix 8, but not on the 7. If you're a Fenix 7 owner who lifts, Forma fills that gap today.
Enter your metrics manually or connect your Garmin account. Forma's engine reads your recovery signals, scores your readiness, and prescribes a structured strength session in under ten seconds.
The engine
Forma's readiness engine processes five inputs each morning:
| Input | What it reflects | How Forma uses it |
|---|---|---|
| HRV status | Autonomic nervous system readiness | Primary session tier signal |
| Body Battery | Overall energy reserve (0–100) | Session type threshold |
| Sleep score | Recovery quality last night | Modifies intensity and volume |
| Training load ratio | Recent vs chronic training stress | Overtraining detection |
| HRV low streak | Days of consecutive suppressed HRV | Protective downgrade trigger |
The engine maps these five signals to a readiness tier (R1–R4) and session type (S1–S5). The full workout is available in the web app or pushed directly to your Fenix 7.

| HRV status | Yes | Primary readiness signal |

Device coverage
Strength Coach is not available on the Fenix 7. Forma fills that gap today — recovery-adaptive strength programming that reads your actual biometrics, not a fixed plan.
Forma works on 27 Garmin devices. You connect your Garmin account once, and Forma auto-fetches your recovery metrics before each session. The workout is ready before you reach the gym.
Concrete example
Your Fenix 7 shows Body Battery 75, HRV Balanced, and sleep score 79. Training load ratio is 0.88.
Forma prescribes S2 — Moderate Strength. Compound lifts at moderate intensity, standard rest intervals, accessory work. The full workout is available in the web app or pushed directly to your watch.
If Body Battery were 42 and HRV low-unbalanced, the same morning produces S3 Conditioning instead. The session always reflects the data, not a fixed schedule.
Session types
Forma selects one of five session types each morning. You do not choose — your biometric data does.
