Loadex is a clean, high-performance tracker for lifting and running. It manages heavy barbell progression, set logging, GPS runs, and cardio circuits in one unified app with a easy 1 click migration so you never lose your past data from Strong or Hevy. IMPORT YOUR HISTORY Bring your logged training over from Strong or Hevy. Export a CSV and Loadex reads the sessions, sets and exercises, matches them to its own library, and skips duplicates. LOGGING Set, rep and weight entry built for speed. Rest timers keep running through a locked screen. Supersets and circuits, warm-up and plate calculators, and a full history with per-exercise records. RUNNING Record a run from the home screen and follow distance, time and pace as you go. Pause and finish from the lock screen. A finished run has its own page with your splits, route, the intensity it landed in, and your previous best at that distance. Runs are written back to Apple Health. Turn on cardio import and your runs, rides and other cardio from Apple Health join your history, counting toward your calendar, week streak and consistency. A Cardio page in Insights: twelve weeks of training time by intensity with your lifting alongside it, how much of your recent cardio was easy against the published guideline, and best efforts per distance. Training load, monotony and strain read lifting, running and conditioning as one athlete. EXERCISES Over 1,000 exercises with muscle maps and instructions. Create your own with custom equipment, muscles and tracking. AUTO-PROGRESSION Pick a scheme per exercise (Linear, Double Progression, Percentage-Wave, Top Set and Back-off, or Manual). Loadex writes next session's weight and rep targets onto your workout when you finish. The Progression Report shows what advanced, what held, and where a lift has stalled. INSIGHTS A weekly muscle heatmap, sets by body part, weekly volume against published MEV/MAV/MRV ranges, strength trajectory per lift, muscle balance ratios, effective volume by logged RIR, consistency, bodyweight and energy trends. READINESS Connect Apple Health and Loadex reads your sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and respiratory rate, scores each against your own baseline, and flags when today's intensity is worth easing. A one-tap daily check-in works with no wearable. Target adjustments are opt-in and reversible. CALORIES An EPOC-based estimate that accounts for the afterburn of resistance training, written back to Apple Health. CONDITIONING AND STRETCHING A circuit routed around the muscle groups your lifting is about to fatigue, plus stretches for the ones you just trained. Generated before you lift and locked for the session. COACH A weekly or monthly review of your logged training in plain language: new records, what is trending, and what to try next. It names only lifts you have performed. PRIVACY Your training is stored on your device. Health data is read through Apple Health and is never sold. It leaves your device only when you sign in and back up, and there is no automatic cloud sync. FREE AND PRO Free includes 4 workout blueprints, 1 program folder, unlimited history, recorded runs and cardio import, the Linear and Manual schemes, the record side of Insights, and two conditioning blocks a week. Pro removes the blueprint and program limits, adds the Double Progression, Percentage-Wave and Top Set and Back-off schemes with an RIR floor, unlimited conditioning, the Coach review, workload and monotony tracking, recovery correlation and next-session guidance.

My coach writes all of my programming, so I like that I can put my actual workouts into the app and keep everything organized in one place. I can track my weight, reps, RIR, rest times and volume. My favorite part is probably all of the data. I can see my strength trends, estimated 1RM, training load, muscle groups I’m hitting and how my recovery is lining up with my performance. It also connects to Apple Health for things like sleep, HRV and resting heart rate, which is really useful during hard training blocks and meet prep. I also love that I don’t need multiple apps anymore. Everything I need is right there, from my workout log and rest timer to things like kilogram/plate conversion and recovery data. There’s a lot of information, but it’s organized really well and easy to find, which is a huge plus for me. ### 5/5 — Austin P *2026-09-19* This app changed my life. I lost 100 pounds. ### 5/5 — Finally a good workout app *2026-09-07* If you’re serious about building muscle than Loadex is a must. ### 5/5 — Was skinny now I’m an absolute unit *2026-09-07* This app is so sick! When I started using it back in the day I was guessing all my workouts. Now I show up to the gym look at the exercises I need to, execute them and get the craziest pump. I believe I’m an absolute unit now because of this app. ### 5/5 — Effective *2026-09-05* I really like how Loadex keeps me on track during my workouts. I’ve always had a tendency to lose focus on my reps or not keep track of the weight I’m lifting, which makes it harder to know when I should push myself or where I actually stand with my strength. Having everything laid out helps me stay focused on the exercises I’m supposed to be doing and gives me something to measure over time. It’s nice being able to look back and actually see my progress instead of just guessing if I’m getting stronger. It makes my workouts feel more structured without making them feel complicated. ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool *2026-09-04* Great app to track workouts and stay on course with a dedicated routine! The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate through. ### 5/5 — Best I’ve used so far *2026-09-04* As a long time on and off again gym person this app really helps with keeping me into the workouts day in and day out. I’ve always just done the same workouts and seem to hit that plateau. This app does it all and has been very helpful for me to keep the body guessing. A+ from this 40 year old ### 5/5 — Your one-stop shop *2026-09-03* The Loadex strength tracker app is awesome! It’s loaded with all the best features of multiple apps all-in-one. The automatic progression structuring takes the guess work out of your training and mimics the same auto-regulation that you’d get from a coach. I really also like the body heat map showing minimum effective volume by muscle group. It’s also very condiment that I can import all my data from another app so that I pick up right where I left off. ### 5/5 — Omg this makes the gym so much better *2026-09-02* This app is awesome. It’s very user friendly and my favorite part is how it creates cardio and stretching program for you based off the workout you did, because that’s always the hardest part for me to do at the end of a gym sesh. It also suggests when you should increase weight/reps, it honestly just does all the thinking that I don’t know how to do, for me!! There are so many different options of workouts to choose from and different modifications/ adjustments you can do within the templates! Also it keeps track of your workout history which is neat. LOVE using Loadex ### 5/5 — BRUH - this app is perfect for me! *2026-08-24* I just recently started prioritizing fitness journey earlier this year with the goal of building more muscle in certain areas, and tracking my progress and workouts is something that has always seemed like such a burden to have to do. I’ve been tracking my workouts via my friend’s Peloton app for several months now, but only because it seems too complicated for me to even want to deal with. When I downloaded Loadex though I was blown away at how user friendly it is! It lets me build out my workouts with ease and has a ton of exercises to select from with descriptions and pictures for gym novices like myself. It’s so easy to track what weights I’m using, how many reps I’m doing, and records all my previous workouts so I can track my progress over time. It’s simple and doesn’t over complicate anything, but it is also has everything I would want as a beginner while also having some other special features for once I get more experienced with various workout plans. All around phenomenal app - sharing with all my friends! ## Frequently asked questions about Loadex ### What is Loadex?
