What VIRRA is
Train by feel.
Heart rate as truth, not metric. Plans that listen to the body you woke up in.
Your cycle is a variable.
Diet culture taught you to fear it. We treat it as your superpower.
Built for her physiology.
Training designed around women — not retro-fitted from men's.
The founder
