How is Via Fortis different from apps like Strong, Hevy, or Fitbod?
Strong is a fast logger. Hevy adds a social feed and program library. Fitbod uses AI to plan your workouts. Via Fortis is more focused on showing what your training has become: muscle coverage, weekly balance, and lift progress. Any nudges it surfaces are grounded in your own logged data.
Is Via Fortis free?
Yes. Core logging tools, Weekly Balance, the 7-day and 14-day Body Map, Lift Progress, and basic goals are free. Core logging includes presets, custom routines, exercise history, and rest timers. Via Fortis Pro unlocks longer Body Map windows, deeper insights, and more presets and goals. Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year after the initial trial period. Pricing and eligibility are shown in the App Store and may vary by region.
Is Via Fortis available on Android?
The Via Fortis app is an iPhone app. There are no current plans to expand to the Google Play Store, but Android users can use the Via Fortis web app at app.viafortistraining.com, which includes everything in the free tier of the iOS app.
Does Via Fortis work offline?
Mostly, after setup. You can log workouts offline; drafts save continuously and sync when you reconnect. Setup, sign-in, and subscription management require an internet connection.
Can I import my workout history?
Not quite yet. Automatic import from other apps or CSV is not available, but may be available at a future date. For now, the training audit lets you enter a recent two-week snapshot without creating an account so you can preview what the Body Map looks like in Via Fortis.
Will it sync with Apple Health or HealthKit?
Not yet, but Apple Health and HealthKit integration are planned for a future release.
How is muscle coverage calculated?
Via Fortis maps 120+ exercises to primary and supporting muscle groups using a curated catalog. Every set you log contributes to those muscles based on the mapping, so the Body Map reflects what your training actually touched, not just what you named the exercise.
Is my data private?
Your training data belongs to you. Via Fortis does not sell your data, does not show ads, and lets you export your data. See the Privacy Policy for details on what is stored, where, and how it is used.
What does the training audit do?
Enter your last two weeks of lifting in your browser. In about two minutes the audit shows you which muscles you covered, where the week's balance is off, and plain language notes. It is the same view Via Fortis builds from your full log over time. No account needed.
