Spyke turns your phone into a complete free training logbook. Log your sets in one tap, record your movements, and watch your progress build over time. Designed for the gym: no hassle, simple automations, and ultra-fast clip creation. ULTRA-FAST LOGGING • Weight, reps, rest time, tempo: everything is pre-filled from your latest performance. One tap validates the set and moves you to the next one. • Edit a set while training, and the app automatically applies the change to the following sets. • Enable only what you need: warm-up sets, RPE, percentage-based loading, failed sets, and more. RECORD AND REVIEW YOUR SETS • Record your sets directly in the app: filmed sets are automatically validated. • Find all your videos in a feed-style gallery with multiple filters. • Create clips with workout data overlays (weight, reps, tempo, RPE...) to share your performances. BUILT FOR MULTIPLE TRAINING DISCIPLINES • Complexes: combine 1 Clean + 1 Front Squat + 1 Jerk under the same load. Every movement counts toward your records. • Supersets: group exercises performed in alternation, with transition rest and round rest. • Unilateral mode: manage left/right sides and rest between each side. • Prescribed X/X/X execution tempo, set by set. • Weightlifting, calisthenics, strength training, powerlifting, kettlebell exercises... plus the ability to create your own exercises. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Automatically detected records and PRs, with a badge highlighting your all-time best set. • Complete history for each exercise and complex: stats, charts, videos, and past workout calendar. • End-of-workout recap: total tonnage lifted and records broken. A SMART REST TIMER • Starts automatically when you validate a set, with a duration adapted to the exercise type. • Full-screen mode or floating bubble, with built-in EMOM support. • Sequence mode lets you alternate work time and rest time (ideal for exercises like planks). RON, YOUR VOICE COMPANION Ron accompanies you throughout your workout to encourage you, keep you motivated, and count your rest and plank times. YOUR WORKOUTS AND PROGRAMS • Easily create multi-week training programs. • Restart a previous workout exactly as it was, with or without your previous sets. • Sort your workouts and pin your favorites to the top of your home screen.
