Most workout apps just remember what you lifted. Progressor decides what you should lift next. Built for lifters who are done guessing, Progressor runs a real periodization engine under the hood — the kind a good coach charges hundreds a month for. Pick a program, train, and the engine auto-regulates your weights, reps, and progression across every 12-week cycle. Free to download, with a free plan that's yours to keep. WHY PROGRESSOR • Auto-regulated progressive overload — reads your performance set by set and decides when to add weight, push reps, or back off. • True periodisation — macro, meso, and micro cycles across power, strength, and hypertrophy phases. Not a random daily workout. • Smart deloads & stagnation detection — spots when you've stalled and manages fatigue before it manages you. • 48 expert programs, ready to go — 5×5, PPL, Upper/Lower, PHAT and more. Grab one and make it yours. • Log in seconds — clean set logging with RPE, rest timers, and instant 1RM estimates. Built for the gym floor. • Works offline — log every set with zero signal. Syncs when you're back. • Progress you can see — volume, estimated 1RM, PRs, and body weight over time. • Nutrition that fits your training — separate training-day and rest-day macro targets. WHO IT'S FOR Intermediate and advanced lifters who want progressive overload run systematically — not another notebook with a timer. Newer to structured training? Smart defaults guide you; advanced modes get out of your way. HOW IT WORKS Choose a program or build your own. Train — log weight, reps, and effort in seconds. The engine analyzes every set and writes your next session. Repeat for 12 weeks and watch the numbers climb. PRICING Download free and train on the free plan as long as you like: • 1 active program • Auto-regulation suggestions (read-only) • 30 days of analytics history Go Premium to unlock the full engine: • All 48 programs • Auto-regulation that actually drives your weights, reps, and deloads • Unlimited analytics history, PRs, and 1RM tracking Try Premium free for 14 days.
