Michell Osorio
She has been training for around four years. She translates how a real professional trains into how Vire looks, feels, and is used, every screen of the product goes through her before it exists.
About us
Three partners. Three friends. Three people who train. The same problem, seen up close.
Vire was born from the intersection of technology and real experience in the fitness ecosystem. It's a Staion product, built from Medellín.
The team
The people behind VIRE.
Emmanuel Maya

The origin
From a gym to a product.
Michell and Emmanuel met at the gym. Thanks to their friendship with Jorge Zapata (ZapataFit) and years of training together, the foundations of Vire weren't laid by just the two of them, all three laid them. Over time Johan (Oso Coach), Andrés López, and Esteban Uribe joined: the same ambassadors who use Vire with their own athletes today.
Staion is the venture builder from which they build Vire, with Kevin (Emmanuel's friend since university) as CTO. Together, Kevin and Emmanuel won first place at the First International Technology Hackathon: Robot with Skills, organized by Institución Universitaria de Envigado (IUE) in August 2022, in collaboration with the state of Michoacán. But Vire wasn't born from a hackathon, it was born from training, from seeing up close what a movement professional needs to do their job well, and from building the tool they themselves would have used.
Built by Staion, from Medellín.
For sports professionals across Latam.
See you at ExpoFitness Lifestyle 2027, February 20 and 21: VIRE is exhibiting.

Michell doesn't just design Vire, she's the product designer behind everything Staion builds. She's the only woman on the founding team.
Emmanuel Maya
He has been training since 2018. AI engineer. Makers Fellowship 2026-1 fellow.
Before VIRE, he burned through five ideas with his team: kem, entrus, hitwai, lomi and quanta. The lesson was one: “we failed building for pains we did not live.”
Together with Kevin, he won first place at the First International Technology Hackathon: Robot with Skills, organized by Institución Universitaria de Envigado (IUE) in August 2022, in collaboration with the state of Michoacán, the winning team among IUE's teams.
He gave a talk at EAFIT to young people from the Parceros program of the Medellín mayor's office on how to find a problem worth solving.
