VIGR is one connected system for training, nutrition, and recovery — run by an AI coach that sees all three together. WAKE UP KNOWING Every morning, VIGR turns your HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, and training load into a single readiness score — with a plain-language breakdown of why, and what to do with today. LOG FOOD IN SECONDS Snap a meal, scan a barcode, or just say it. VIGR returns calories, macros, and a Health Scan of the ingredients — with better alternatives when something doesn't fit your goals. TRAIN HARDER, SMARTER An AI routine generator builds recovery-aware training. Load tracking (ACWR) flags sudden jumps in training load before they catch up with you, and the Exercise Hub guides every session — on iPhone or Apple Watch. RECOVER ON PURPOSE Sleep staging, recovery scoring, and guided sessions — because rest is training too. MAKE IT A GAME Accountability that actually bites: duel friends, run private challenges, join creator challenges, climb live leaderboards, protect your streak, and take the monthly crown in the Hall of Legends. PLANS VIGR Basic covers AI food logging, Health Scan, supplement tracking, and a nutrition coach. VIGR Pro unlocks the full everyday app: training, recovery, readiness, and challenges. VIGR Premium adds deep Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Reports, the AI Voice Coach, and Habit Central. Every plan starts with a 2-week free trial for new subscribers.
