VeraLift is an AI-assisted form check for lifters who train alone. Record or upload a short video of a clear gym exercise and get conservative feedback based on what is visible in the clip: a form score, caution flags, top fixes, timestamped notes, recording tips, and private history. VeraLift works best when one exercise, one to three reps, your full movement, and the equipment path are visible. It is especially useful for common strength movements like squat, bench press, deadlift, leg press, pulldowns, presses, and other clearly recorded lifts. If the clip is too dark, cropped, obstructed, or unclear, VeraLift will ask for a better recording instead of guessing. Free users get limited form checks. VeraLift Plus unlocks more scored checks each month. VeraLift provides fitness technique feedback only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or a replacement for a qualified coach, trainer, or healthcare professional.

iFORMA builds your training program the way a strength and conditioning coach would — periodized, sport-specific, structured around your goals. Not a rep counter. Not a workout-of-the-day. A real program. WHAT MAKES iFORMA DIFFERENT Most fitness apps give you the same workouts whether you do Brazilian jiu-jitsu, archery or powerlifting. iFORMA doesn't. Choose from 98 sports and iFORMA builds a program for your discipline — day types, training phases and session lengths calibrated to what your sport actually demands. PERIODIZED TRAINING THAT PROGRESSES Six-week cycles, built on ACSM and NSCA periodization guidelines: • Foundation — build your base • Volume — increase training capacity • Hypertrophy — muscle development • Variation — prevent plateaus • Strength — peak performance • Deload — structured recovery Each cycle flows into the next. Your training advances instead of repeating. TRAIN WITH GUIDANCE, NOT GUESSWORK • Audio coaching through your headphones, hands-free • Start and end positions with full written form guidance • Instructions, form tips and target muscles for every exercise ASK DJINN Djinn is your in-app coach. Ask it to adjust today's workout, reshape your meal plan around what you actually eat, or explain why a session is built the way it is — answered in the chat, in your language. ON YOUR WRIST Pair iFORMA with Apple Watch and train hands-free. Your day's workout, exercise images, form guidance and audio coaching — on your wrist. Heart rate and Apple Health are built in, and everything syncs back to your phone. NUTRITION THAT MATCHES YOUR TRAINING Tell iFORMA how you eat and it never suggests otherwise: • 12 dietary preferences — Halal, Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, Paleo, Keto, low-carb, low-fat, low-sodium, diabetic-friendly and FODMAP-free • 12 allergies — gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, sesame, sulfites, fructose and more. Tick it once and it is never suggested again • 9 fasting protocols — 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, 14:10, evening windows, Ramadan and custom • Daily calorie and macro targets aligned to your training phase • Water tracking, eating windows and meal history TRAINS AROUND YOUR BODY Lower back pain. Knee, shoulder, neck or wrist injury. Hip replacement. Heart condition. High blood pressure. Pregnancy. Epilepsy. Diabetes. Osteoporosis. Asthma. Tell iFORMA and your program is built around it. WEARABLES — FREE TO CONNECT iFORMA reads your data through Apple Health — nothing extra to buy. Connect Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, Polar, Withings, Coros, Amazfit, Ultrahuman, Wahoo or Suunto and your sleep, heart rate and recovery feed into your training. Optional — iFORMA works fully without one. BUILT FOR EVERY ATHLETE, IN YOUR LANGUAGE iFORMA speaks 44 languages, switchable any time in your profile. The App Store lists pages in a limited set, so this page appears in 34 — the other ten are fully supported in the app: Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Right-to-left supported. EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE iFORMA runs a scholarship program for athletes who need support.
