FAQ
Most apps hand you a static plan or a content library. Vela generates every session for you — your equipment, energy, schedule, and goals — and adapts the whole week when life happens. It's built on a real coaching methodology (Baseline → Develop → Evolve), not a template mill.
No. Tell Vela what you have — a full rack, a pair of kettlebells, or nothing at all — and your sessions are built around exactly that. Change gyms or travel, and your programming follows.
Report it in the app and Vela programs around it automatically — swapping movements, adjusting loads, and rebuilding capacity as you recover. No more guessing which exercises are safe.
Point your camera at your plate. Vela identifies what's on it and estimates per-item macros, portion sizes, and plate totals — then keeps your nutrition targets aligned with what your training asks of you that week. Barcode scanning and search cover everything else.
Yes. Your training and health data are used only to build your programming — never sold, never used for ads. Read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
