LastRep remembers your last set so you always know what to beat. Log a workout and LastRep hands you exact targets for next time. No guessing, no spreadsheets, no rebuilding your program every week. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, CALCULATED Every exercise gets a target based on what you actually lifted. Hit the top of your rep range and LastRep adds weight. Fall short and it asks for one more rep at the same load. Ramp-up sets are detected automatically, so warmups never get treated as working sets. CARDIO PROGRESSES TOO The assault bike, the stairmaster, heavy bag work, the treadmill. LastRep pushes one variable about five percent per session. More minutes, more calories, or more distance, never all at once. A CALENDAR OF YOUR TRAINING Every training day marked. Tap any day to see exactly what you did, edit it, or log a session you forgot. A WEEK THAT BUILDS ON ITSELF Pick your training days and your exercises. LastRep lays out the week, groups related lifts together, drops cardio on the lighter days, and attaches a live target to every entry. Finish the week, rebuild, and next week starts heavier. Push it to your iPhone calendar in one tap. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Around 100 exercises across chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, core, machines, outdoor, conditioning, and martial arts. Add your own. Star your favorites. Pounds or kilograms. Everything stored on your device. Free to use. No account. No ads. LASTREP PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Pro unlocks the coach chat, which answers questions using your own training log, plus a progress chart for every exercise. - Monthly: $4.99, with a 3-day free trial - Yearly: $19.99 Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
