Xera is a free strength training app built around better programs, meaningful goals, and effortless workout tracking. Put your personalized training routine on autopilot: build a Workout Program from your own saved workouts, set your schedule, and let Xera guide you through what’s next. Automatic strength progression advances your training weight as you reach your rep targets, while goals keep the lifts that matter most in focus and track your progress across every workout. Log weights, reps, sets, and rest quickly from your phone, Apple Watch, or Garmin watch.
