It’s fast, flexible, and built for lifters who want minimal distractions during their workouts. WORKOUT AND RECOVERY DATA THAT DRIVES PROGRESS Spotr integrates with your wearable data (HRV, RHR, sleep) to help determine which muscles are ready to train and when to dial it back. Get clear, muscle-specific recovery insights so you know what to hit and when. Visualize your training volume by body part, follow weekly progress trends, and see how your workload evolves over time. Spotr helps you find the sweet spot between hitting the gym hard and recovering fully. WORKOUT SHARING Turn your workouts into shareable art.
