Vira FAQ

Everything you need to know about using Vira Fitness.

Getting Started

What is Vira Fitness?
Vira is a fitness app that helps you build workout plans, log your workouts in real time, track your progress, and share it all with friends. Whether you're just starting out or already training consistently, Vira gives you the tools to stay organized and motivated.
How do I get started?
After signing up, you'll see a welcome screen with the option to take a guided tour or explore on your own. If you take the tour, we'll walk you through every feature step by step. Either way, we create a starter "Push, Pull, Legs" workout plan for you so you can jump right in.
What is the starter workout plan?
When you sign up, we automatically create a "Starter Plan: Push, Pull, Legs" workout plan for you. It includes three workouts with exercises, sets, reps, equipment, and even a superset to show you how the app works. You can edit it to make it your own, or create a brand new plan from scratch.

Workout Plans

Where are my workout plans?
Your workout plans live on your Profile page. You'll see your active plan displayed there with its name and the workouts it contains. Tap on a plan to see all the details.
How do I edit or delete a plan?
On your Profile page, tap the three dots (⋮) on any workout plan card. From there you can edit the plan to change exercises, sets, reps, and more, or delete the plan entirely.
How do I create a new plan?
On your Profile page, tap the green "+" button next to the "Workout Plans" header. This opens the plan builder where you can create a fully custom workout plan from scratch — add workouts, exercises, sets, reps, equipment, supersets, and more.
How do I share a plan with friends?
On your Profile page, tap the share button at the bottom of your plan card. You can share directly with your followers inside the app, or send a link via text or any messaging app.

Logging Workouts

How do I start a workout?
On the Home screen, you'll see your next scheduled workout from your active plan. Tap the green "Start Workout" button to begin logging. The app auto-advances to the next workout after each session.
How do I change which workout to log?
On the Home screen, tap the three dots (⋯) on the "Next Workout" widget. This lets you pick a different workout from your plan to log next.
How do I log sets, reps, and weight?
Once you start a workout, each exercise appears as a card. Tap a card to expand it and see your sets. Enter the weight and reps for each set. Previous values auto-fill the next time you do that exercise, so you can see what you lifted last time.
What are workout notes for?
Each exercise has a notes field where you can leave yourself a reminder. Notes carry over to the next time you do that exercise — great for things like "go up in weight" or "focus on form." You'll see your previous note the next time that exercise comes up.
How do I finish a workout?
When you're done, tap the "Finish Workout" button at the bottom of the logging screen. You'll have the option to share your completed workout to your activity feed for your followers to see.

Progress Tracking

How do I track my workout history?
Go to the Progress page. The Workout Calendar shows which days you worked out with green dots. You can track your workout streak and see your monthly activity at a glance.
Can I track strength gains per exercise?
Yes! On the Progress page under "Exercise Progress," you can select any exercise and see a chart of your strength gains over time. This shows how your weight and reps have improved across sessions.
How does weight tracking work?
On the Progress page, switch to the "Weight" tab. Here you can log your body weight over time, set a goal weight, and track trends with a chart. Tap the "+" button to log a new entry.

Social Features

What is the Activity Feed?
The Activity Feed on the Home screen shows workout posts from people you follow. You can like and comment on their completed workouts to stay connected and motivated together.
How do I find and follow other users?
Tap the search icon on the Home screen to find other users by name. From their profile, you can follow them. Their completed workout posts will then show up in your Activity Feed.
How do I share my completed workouts?
After finishing a workout, you'll see the option to share it to your feed. Your followers will see the post on their Home screen's Activity Feed, where they can like and comment.
