Build gym confidence with a form-first coach for beginners. Most fitness apps assume you already know what you are doing. Rep Bank starts where confidence is built: clear form, realistic progress and a routine that fits real life. FORM FIRST. STRENGTH FOLLOWS. Learn the lifts with two-frame photographic demonstrations, plain-English set-up steps and focused coaching cues. No jargon and no guesswork. A PRACTICE PATH THAT FITS REAL LIFE Choose the areas you want to strengthen. Each path starts with an approachable movement and builds gradually. Practice on your schedule; sessions never expire or reset. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Log your sets, reps and weight, see your history, and receive small, sensible progress suggestions. Unilateral exercises coach each side clearly, so your target always means what it says. TRAIN WHERE YOU ARE Tell Rep Bank where you are and what equipment is available. A wall and a chair are enough to keep moving; when kit is missing, Rep Bank suggests a suitable bodyweight alternative. GYM MACHINES, MADE CLEAR Explore a photo-led guide to common gym machines: what each one does, how to set it up and how to move with confidence. RECOVERY COUNTS Plan a rest day when you need it. It protects your habit without pretending recovery is a workout. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads or behavioural tracking. Your progress stays on your device and in your private iCloud. Workouts can be written to Apple Health; Rep Bank never reads your health data. Rep Bank Membership is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. Eligible new subscribers receive a 14-day free trial.

The guide talks you through small circles growing wider, then says — out loud and on screen — when to reverse and go backwards, instead of repeating the same two words for the whole set. • Suggested for you. The planner now picks a workout from your own history — 48 hours of recovery per muscle group, two sessions a week as the floor worth chasing, and your goals breaking any tie. It always tells you why it chose what it chose. • Training coverage on the body map. Red now builds across the last four weeks rather than a single session, so you can see the areas you have quietly been avoiding — front and back. • Your journey so far. The dashboard gathers what you have built into one place, and today's focus explains itself in a sentence. • The Bank reads more clearly, marking what you have mastered and ready to run again at a tap. • The monthly weight check-in can now be started whenever you like from Settings, instead of waiting to be asked. ### 1.16.0 — 2026-08-18 Your body map, rebuilt. • A real anatomy figure you can turn around — the muscles you've worked burn red, front and back, with a Woman/Man choice in Settings. • Today's Focus picks one area and tells you why, working from your last month: 48 hours of recovery per muscle group, twice a week as the floor worth chasing, and your own goals breaking any tie. • Honest rep coaching. The guide now speaks each exercise's own words and starts with the half the movement actually starts with, so a push-up begins by lowering. Firm haptic on the effort, soft on the return. • Timed cardio keeps moving. Jumping jacks and friends animate through the whole set instead of freezing. • An optional monthly weight check-in, offered once and easy to decline. Saves to Apple Health, and reads your latest weight back so you needn't type it. • Membership now explains itself: clearer purchase and restore, and a way back into everything you've already unlocked. ### 1.14.0 — 2026-08-11 Guided workouts are now more reliable from countdown to completion, including improved Apple Health workout timing. Exercise selection and coaching feel more consistent across the full catalogue, with quicker visual switching and clearer at-a-glance guidance. We also fixed smaller issues across settings, progress and workout flow. ### 1.13.0 — 2026-08-05 Build workouts from what you have unlocked. Once three exercises are available, Library now surfaces Planner with a clear three-step guide; eligible machine-scan results join your planning choices too. Guided sets now include a five-second count-in, exercise-specific pacing, squeeze cues and distinct optional haptics, so you can follow the movement without watching the screen. We also simplified progress and mastery messages for a calmer, more focused experience. ### 1.12.0 — 2026-07-29 No release notes. ## More apps by Andy Mesa - [Overtime Live - Shift Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/overtime-live-shift-tracker/id6755075589) - [Sun Hours for Solar Panels](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sun-hours-for-solar-panels/id6773940001) - [Landlord Assistant: Rent](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/landlord-assistant-rent/id6777530304) - [Outflow: Subscription Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/outflow-subscription-tracker/id6779691937) All apps by Andy Mesa: https://appshunter.io/developer/1851743474 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
