Stop guessing your next weight. RepXP is a strength workout log with automatic progressive overload. Set your rules once, then start each session with the right weight and rep targets already applied. Log on iPhone or leave it in the locker and train from the standalone Apple Watch app. One tap confirms a set, rest timers start automatically, and personal records are detected as you lift. A ROUTINE BEFORE YOUR FIRST SESSION Starting from nothing? Answer a few questions about your training days, how long you have, your goal, and your equipment, and RepXP writes the routine: a split that fits the days you picked, exercises matched to the equipment you own, sets and reps chosen for your goal, and a starting weight estimated on every exercise. Nothing is blank, and every number is one tap from being changed. AUTOMATIC PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD Define your progression once. RepXP can increase reps within your range, move the weight when you are ready, react to logged effort, and suggest a deload when progress stalls. Turning progression on comes filled in: a rep range from your goal, and a weight jump sized from the plates you own rather than a round number that does not fit your bar. FAST WORKOUT LOGGING • Confirm sets with one tap • See the active set clearly • Edit reps and weight when plans change • Track RPE or RIR by set, exercise, or session • Use automatic rest timers with Live Activities • Detect weight, rep, volume, and estimated 1RM records TRAIN PHONE-FREE ON APPLE WATCH Start and finish complete workouts from your wrist. Log sets, change reps or weight, adjust upcoming sets, and get haptic rest-timer alerts without carrying your phone. While the Watch runs a workout, tapping the banner on your phone shows the session as it stands, every set logged so far, and offers to take it over. LIVE CARDIO HEART-RATE ZONES See live heart rate and your current zone during cardio workouts on Apple Watch. On iOS 26, iPhone can also show live data from a compatible paired heart-rate source. Completed cardio workouts include average heart rate, max heart rate, and time in each zone. BRING YOUR TRAINING WITH YOU Import routines and history from Strong, Hevy, or Bolt. Import an AI-generated routine from a RepXP link or CSV. Create a readable custom export for a coach, an AI tool, or a spreadsheet. FREE PLAN • A routine built from a few answers, with a starting weight on every exercise • Progression settings that arrive filled in • Strength, cardio, and flexibility workout tracking • 400+ exercises and unlimited custom exercises • Standalone Apple Watch app • RPE and RIR effort logging • Recovery and stress trends • XP, levels, badges, and streaks • Apple Health and iCloud sync • Widgets, progress photos, charts, and calculators • 30 days of workout history REPXP PRO • Automatic progression and smart deloads • Effort-aware progression • Workout forecasts and progression-ready alerts • Supersets and tri-sets • Unlimited workout history • Personal-record and muscle-group analytics • Strength standards, body trends, and training heatmap • AI training reports and recovery insights on supported devices Eligible new subscribers can start with a 1-month free trial.
