High blood pressure

It puts your heart at risk. Train like you know it.

Nearly half of US adults have high blood pressure. America's heart guideline gives two things its strongest grade: losing the extra weight, and a structured exercise programme. VeraForma builds both, around you.

Free to start. The blood-pressure rules are free.

  • The moves that spike your blood pressure come out. The lifts that build you stay.
  • A cardio plan that builds week by week, and a free meal plan sized to your targets.
  • When your answers call for a doctor's OK, your plan waits for it, already built, and you train the day you have it.

VeraForma is coaching, not medicine. It does not diagnose, treat or cure anything. Check with your doctor before you start, and follow their advice on your medication.

Not on medication, but your reading runs high, or a doctor has never checked it? See your doctor before your first session. Over 180/120, don't train until a doctor has seen it.4,9

Why it matters

The numbers are against you. The answer is known.

  • Nearly halfof US adults have high blood pressure.1,2
  • Fewer than 1 in 4of them have it under control.1,2
  • Heart disease and strokeHigh blood pressure puts you at risk of both.1,3

What the guideline says

Lose the extra weight. Train on a structured programme. Both get the strongest grade.

The 2025 AHA/ACC high blood pressure guideline rates weight loss and a structured programme of aerobic and strength training at Class 1, Level A: its strongest recommendation, on its strongest evidence.4,5

The World Health Organization lists losing weight and being physically active among the changes that can help lower blood pressure.3

In the research, every kilogram (2.2 lb) of weight lost lowered blood pressure by about one point.6,7

VeraForma builds both: a strength programme, a cardio plan that builds and a free meal plan, from one evaluation.

"My doctor handles it."

Good. Keep it that way. Your doctor handles your medication and your numbers. VeraForma builds the training and the food around what you tell it, and when your answers call for a doctor's OK, it waits for it.

Both halves of the plan, built around you.

"Isn't lifting bad for blood pressure?"

The guideline puts strength training in the plan, at its strongest grade.4,8 VeraForma takes out the moves that spike your blood pressure and keeps the lifts that build you.

"My back hurts already."

Mark your low back once, and the programme trains around it, building back at your body's pace.

Sore today? Tell it, and today's session trains around it, or tells you it is one for a doctor or physio first.

VeraForma is coaching, not medicine. It does not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and it does not replace your doctor or physio.

Your doctor stays in charge

On medication? Your doctor's OK comes first.

"VeraForma does not assume you are healthy. It asks what I ask a new client in person, and when your answers call for a doctor's OK, your plan waits for it."

— Brad Glaser

When your answers call for a doctor's OK, your plan waits for it, already built, and you train the day you have it.

VeraForma is coaching, not medicine. It does not diagnose, treat or cure anything. Check with your doctor before you start, and follow their advice on your medication.
