Elevate is Vara's built-in social platform. It's a training-first feed where posts are ranked by logged effort, not engagement bait. PRs, completed workouts, milestone badges, and progress updates surface before selfies.

• Momentum algorithm: Posts earn visibility from training data — workout volume, streak length, PR frequency — not likes. Toggle it off for a pure chronological feed.
• Post types: Text, photos, workout summaries, PRs, milestones, and achievements. Attach workout data directly from your log.
• Comments + reactions: Threaded comments with real-time updates via WebSocket. React to celebrate wins.
• Reporting + moderation: Flag posts or comments. Admin review queue with configurable actions.
• Studio: Your Elevate control center — edit your profile, manage privacy settings, configure notification preferences, connect health integrations, and review sync status. All in one place.
• Partner connections: Replace follower/following with mutual training partnerships. Find members at your gym, schedule sessions, stay accountable.

Vara connects to Apple Health (iOS) and Google Health Connect (Android) to automatically sync health data from your wearables and phone sensors.

• Steps: Daily totals aggregated across all sources. Goal tracking with configurable daily targets.
• Sleep: Session duration and timing synced nightly.
• Heart rate: Resting, average, and max BPM samples imported throughout the day.
• Weight: Imported from smart scales and encrypted on arrival (AES-256-GCM).
• Workouts: Sessions imported with duration, type, and timing. Deduplicated against manual logs.
• Background sync: Data syncs automatically on app open and resume — no manual trigger required.
• Sync status: Per-source, per-data-type last-synced timestamps visible in Studio settings.

Vara calculates a lifestyle adherence score each week based on workout frequency, nutrition logging, hydration consistency, and check-in targets. The score compares week-over-week so you can see whether your consistency is trending up or down.

• Adherence scoring: Weighted formula — 40% workout frequency, 20% nutrition logging, 20% hydration, 20% check-ins.

• Goal configuration: Set daily step targets, sleep hours, weekly check-in frequency, and adherence thresholds.

• Weekly comparison: Current vs. previous week scores in every weekly report.

• Dashboard integration: Step trend cards, heart rate zone cards, and goal progress rings on the main dashboard.

• Session structure: Log sets/reps/weight/RPE. Import from Strava, Apple Health, or Google Fit automatically so you never start over.

• Progress receipts: Volume and intensity trends, automated weekly reports, and a dashboard that surfaces what your programming is actually doing.

• Step goals: Set a daily target, track with a progress ring, and see your 7-day trend and streak at a glance.

• Habit streaks: Daily check-ins with current and longest streak counters. Calendar heatmap shows consistency at a glance.

• Challenges: Join group challenges — 30-day squat challenge, team step competition, weight loss %. Leaderboards with privacy controls.

• Partner matching: Train with people at your gym and schedule sessions. Gym partners, not followers.

• Chronological feed by default: Momentum algorithm available for surfacing PRs and logged workouts in Elevate, but your feed starts chronological.
