Skinny-fat? Built muscle never seems to stick? RecompX is strength training for beginners who want to build muscle and lose fat at the same time – body recomposition – in about three short sessions a week. Meet Recco, your red panda coach. He builds your plan, walks you through every set and cheers when you show up. TRAIN WITH A PLAN THAT FITS • A short quiz builds a 2, 3 or 4-day plan for your setup: gym, home dumbbells or no equipment at all • Pick your training days – Recco only nudges you on those days • Never done an exercise? It starts you light, with a clear "Start light" tip • Edit any workout: add, reorder or remove exercises, set your own sets and reps LOG SETS FAST • Last time's weight and reps are filled in, with a "beat it" target for today • Tap, type, done – plus a hold timer for planks • Exercise photos and form notes for every move CLIMB YOUR CLASS • Leaderboards by weight class, so you're ranked against people your size • Your rank lives on Today – see exactly where one more workout puts you • A globe shows where people trained today; drag it to look around RANK UP BY SHOWING UP • Points reward consistency – sessions, sets, new bests and full weeks – never how heavy you lift • Rise from Den to Trailhead, Valley, Ridge and Summit • Earn badges and finish the Welcome Quest in your first week TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES • Track your waist and your lifts, not just the scale – during a recomp, the scale barely moves • See your muscle map fill in as you train each area • Trend charts for every exercise LEARN AND ASK • Two-minute lessons on training, nutrition, recovery and mindset, with sources • Ask Recco anything – answers based on your own plan and training Talk to the founder: message me directly in the app. I read every message. RecompX gives general fitness guidance and isn't medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program.
