RepTrack is built for one thing: logging a hard session on your phone without the app getting in the way. Every screen is designed for one-handed use with sweaty hands. Before every set you can see what you did last time; after every set you see your volume and estimated 1RM climb.

This guide has two modes, and you can switch between them any time using the toggle at the top:

• Story mode reads like a walk-through. Start at the top and the chapters take you from creating an account to finishing your very first workout, in order. Each chapter ends with a “Next” button.
• Reference mode is for when you already know the app and just need one thing. The sidebar groups every topic, and the search box finds it by keyword.

1. 1Open RepTrack and tap Sign in.
2. 2Choose Create an account.
3. 3Enter your chosen email and password along with your Invite code to register a new login.
4. 4Check your email for your verification email and click the embedded link.
5. 5That’s it — you land on the home screen, ready to start a workout.

RepTrack is currently in early development. Everyone with a login is part of the same group and can see each other’s shared routines and custom exercises. Your workout logs, however, stay private to you.

You can use RepTrack straight from the browser, but installing it to your home screen is worth the ten seconds. It launches full-screen with no browser bar, feels like a native app, and is one tap away when you walk into the gym.

On iPhone (Safari)

1. 1Open RepTrack in Safari.
2. 2Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow).
3. 3Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

On Android (Chrome)

1. 1Open RepTrack in Chrome.
2. 2Tap the ⋮ menu in the top corner.
3. 3Tap Install app (or Add to Home screen).

The home screen keeps the most common action front and centre — starting a workout — and shows your recent sessions underneath so you can glance at what you did last. Everything else lives on the bottom tab bar, which is always visible:

From the home screen, tap Start Workout. You have two ways to go:

• From a routine — pick one of your saved templates (or one from the shared library). The session opens with all the planned exercises and target sets ready to fill in.
• Blank workout — start with nothing and add exercises on the fly. Perfect for an improvised session or when you’re trying something new.

Copy from last session

When you start a routine you’ve done before, RepTrack asks: “Load weights and reps from your last session?” Accept it and every set row is pre-filled with what you lifted last time, so you only adjust what changed. It’s a per-session prompt, not a setting — so when you’d rather start fresh, just decline.

Each exercise is a card. At the top of every card you see your previous performance — last session’s sets and your all-time best — so you always know what to beat before you start. Below that are the set rows, and a + Add set button.

The sticky header tracks the whole session and updates the instant you tick a set:

• Tracking weight and reps, shows Exercise volume and 1 Rep Max.
• Tracking time, shows total Elapsed time for the exercise.
• Tracking distance, shows Total distance across the whole exercise.

When showing the estimated 1RM (your theoretical one-rep max, from the Epley formula) a small arrow is shown comparing it to last session (if available) — green for up, amber for down, a star for a brand new exercise.

Logging a set is meant to take under five seconds. Enter the weight and reps, then tap the Tick Box to commit it — that’s what kicks off your rest timer and updates your totals. The down-arrow on a pending row copies the previous set’s numbers down in one tap.

Set types

Tap the type pill to cycle it. The colour tells you what kind of set it was at a glance:

Reps, time, or distance

Weight & reps

The default, for barbell, dumbbell, machine, and cable work. Type the weight, type the reps, and tap Tick Box. The card header keeps a running exercise volume and estimated 1RM as you commit each set.

Distance

For rowers, treadmills, bikes, ski-ergs, and loaded carries. Type the distance and RepTrack logs it in your preferred unit (set in Settings), converting automatically if a set was recorded in another unit. The header totals your distance across the whole exercise.

Time

For planks, holds, carries, and timed cardio. When the exercise (or its routine) has a goal time, the row shows it as a countdown. Tap ▶ to start and a full-screen countdown takes over — easy to read across the gym — ticking down in orange. Tap the big stop button (or let it reach zero, where it stops on its own) and RepTrack records the time you reached as your achieved result. Stop early and it logs how long you held; go the distance and it auto-saves the full target. With no goal set, the same timer simply counts up instead.

Effort tracking is entirely optional — switch it on in Settings if you want it. You choose the scale that suits how you think:

• RPE (1–10) — Rate of Perceived Exertion. 10 means an all-out set with nothing left.
• RIR (0–9) — Reps In Reserve. 0 means you couldn’t have done another rep.

They’re two views of the same thing (RIR = 10 − RPE), so RepTrack stores both no matter which you display — switch any time without losing data. On a completed set, a colour-coded pill summarises the effort:

A superset pairs exercises you do back to back with no rest in between. RepTrack shows the group inside a single combined card with a purple left accent so you can tell it apart from a standalone exercise at a glance.

How a superset flows

1. 1Complete set 1 of exercise A and tap the Tick Box.
2. 2RepTrack jumps you to set 1 of exercise B — complete it and tap the Tick Box.
3. 3If a rest time is configured it now starts, because the full round is done.
4. 4Rest, then repeat for set 2, and so on.

You can build supersets into a routine ahead of time, or create one on the spot during a workout (see the next chapter). To break a pairing, open the ⋯ menu on any exercise in the group and choose Remove from superset.

Exercises bound in a superset will keep their set count in sync, i.e. add or delete a set from one exercise in the superset will apply to all exercises within the superset.

Sessions rarely go exactly to plan — a machine is taken, or you feel like an extra movement. RepTrack lets you adapt without fear, because changes mid-workout only affect this session, never the routine template behind it.

From the ⋯ menu on any exercise, or the buttons at the bottom of the list, you can:

• Swap an exercise — search for a replacement; RepTrack even suggests similar movements.
• Add an exercise — pull anything from the library onto the end of the session.
• Remove an exercise from this session.
• Pair or break a superset on the fly.

Open the plate calculator from the active workout screen.

When you’re done, tap Finish Workout. RepTrack shows a summary — duration, total volume, exercises and sets completed — and celebrates any new personal records with a gold card. Add session notes if you like, then Save. (Discard is there too, behind a confirmation, for the rare session you’d rather forget.)

Marking a deload

Planned light weeks shouldn’t look like you got weaker. Flip the “Mark as deload” toggle on the finish screen and the session is saved normally but kept out of the numbers that matter:

Head to the Routines tab and tap New routine. Give it a name, then add exercises from the library. For each exercise you can set details that appear on the workout screen:

The Routines tab has two tabs of its own: My Routines and the Shared Library. Anything you share appears in the group’s library tagged with your name and the date, and anyone can copy it into their own account with one tap.

The routine menu

Every routine you own has a ⋮ button. Tapping it opens an action sheet with everything you can do to that routine. Here’s the full menu, with sharing switched on:

Archiving vs. deleting

A copy is a completely independent clone. Change the weights, swap an exercise, rename it — none of it touches the original or anyone else’s copy. If you later unshare a routine, copies people already made stay with them; it simply leaves the library.

Tap any exercise — from the library or mid-workout — to open its detail page. You’ll find:

• Its category, equipment, and target muscles.
• A description, step-by-step instructions, and tips on common mistakes.
• Your personal best for the lift, and your recent sessions.
• An estimated-1RM trend chart showing how your strength has moved.

Opening this page mid-workout is handy when you want a form reminder without leaving your session.

Three ways to look at it

• Summary — a verdict up top (how many lifts improved and your total volume change), then one line per exercise showing A → B and the difference. The fastest “did I improve?” read.
• Detailed — the deep dive: every set of A beside every set of B, with the change on each set and each exercise. For when you want the exact numbers.
• Gains — a visual recap that celebrates your biggest jump, flags anything that slipped, and charts each lift’s estimated-1RM trend.

It handles every kind of exercise — weights, timed holds and distance work — and shows everything in your chosen units. Anything you improved appears in green; anything that dropped, in amber.

When you finish a workout, RepTrack checks each exercise for a new max weight (the heaviest you've lifted, irrespective of reps) and a new best estimated 1RM. A max-weight record is credited the first time you reach a weight — doing more reps at the same weight later won't re-trigger it. New records show as a gold card on the finish screen and collect in your PRs list on the Progress tab. (Deload sessions never produce PRs, by design.)

The overload nudge

This is a quiet suggestion, not an auto-programmer. If you hit the top of your rep range on every working set for an exercise across two or more sessions in a row, RepTrack notes it on the exercise’s detail page and the post-workout summary: “Consider increasing the weight next session.” It only applies to exercises with a defined rep range, never fires mid-workout, and can be dismissed per exercise.

Open Settings to set your defaults. Everything here is a personal preference:

Exporting your data

From Settings → Export, RepTrack bundles your full history into a ZIP of plain, UTF-8 CSV files — no proprietary format, nothing locked in:

• Every workout set you’ve logged.
• Your personal records.
• Your routines.
• Your custom exercises.

Open them in any spreadsheet app for your own analysis, or just keep them as a backup.

Deleting your account

Account deletion comes in two forms, so you’re in control:

• Soft delete — your data is hidden and your account is restorable for 30 days. Change your mind in that window and everything comes back. After 30 days it’s permanently removed.
• Hard delete — an immediate, permanent removal for right-to-be-forgotten requests.

Estimated 1RM

Your theoretical one-rep max, calculated from a set with the Epley formula: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30). Lets you compare a heavy triple with a lighter set of ten.

Volume

Total weight moved: reps × weight, summed across sets. The simplest measure of how much work a session did.

RPE

Rate of Perceived Exertion (1–10). How hard a set felt; 10 is all-out.

RIR

Reps In Reserve (0–9). How many reps you had left; 0 means none. RIR = 10 − RPE.

Working set

A real, counting set at your target effort — as opposed to a warmup.

Warmup set

A lighter preparatory set. Logged, but lighter than your working sets.

Drop set

Reducing the weight mid-exercise to squeeze out more reps after reaching failure.

Failure set

A set taken to the point you can’t complete another rep with good form.

Superset

Two or more exercises done back to back with no rest between them.

Deload

A planned lighter session for recovery — saved, but excluded from PRs and trend charts.

Personal record (PR)

A new all-time best for an exercise: a new max weight (heaviest lifted, irrespective of reps, credited the first time you reach it), or a new best estimated 1RM.

Progressive overload

Gradually doing more over time — more weight, reps, or sets — to keep making progress.

Routine

A reusable workout template: which exercises, in what order, with target sets and reps.

PWA

Progressive Web App — a website you can install to your home screen so it behaves like a native app.
