Frequently asked questions

Yes. SetRep is free to download on the App Store, and building programs, creating custom exercises, logging workouts, automatic progression, analytics and importing from Strong or Hevy cost nothing, with no caps on how many programs, exercises or workouts you create. A premium subscription adds suggestions and adjustments to your workouts and programs, training insights, and program changes through AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT.

SetRep premium suggests adjustments to your workouts and helps you create programs, and offers insights into your training. It also lets an AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, change your program through the SetRep connector, like swapping an exercise or adjusting sets and reps. Program analysis is free for everyone: without premium, an assistant can still read and analyze your profile, programs and workout history. Subscriptions are billed through your App Store account; see the subscription terms.

No. You can tap “Continue without account” and use SetRep with your data stored only on your phone. Creating an account with Apple, Google or email saves your programs and history to the cloud, so they sync across devices and survive a lost or replaced phone.

Not yet. An Apple Watch app is on the roadmap. During a workout, SetRep shows your next set and rest timer on the iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Not today. SetRep does not read from or write to Apple Health, so workouts you log stay in SetRep and your SetRep account.

Yes. SetRep is designed offline-first, because gyms often have poor signal: your programs and workouts are stored on your phone, so you can build a program and log every set without a connection. Features that need a network, such as AI suggestions and sync, will not work as intended until you are back online.

SetRep sets the weight and reps for each exercise from the sets you logged last time. Loads go up when you are strong, and volume comes down when you are grinding, so progressive overload is handled for you. Each set shows how its weight and reps compare with your previous session.

SetRep tracks RIR (reps in reserve): how many more reps you could have done before failure, where 0 means none and 4+ means the set was easy. RIR sits beside reps on each set and feeds your progress and effort insights. If you would rather not log it, turn it off in Settings.

Yes. SetRep imports CSV exports from Strong and Hevy. Go to Settings → Import data, choose the app you are coming from, and follow the on-screen export instructions; the support page has more detail.

Not yet. An Android app is coming soon. SetRep is available today on iPhone from the App Store.

Yes. You can create a program from scratch with whatever exercises you want, on whichever days you want to train. Program creation is not capped on the free tier, so you can make unlimited programs.

Yes. If an exercise is not in the library, tap “Create exercise” in the exercise list and it is marked Custom. Custom exercises work like built-in ones in programs, workouts and history, and you can archive them when you stop using them. Exercise creation is not capped on the free tier, so you can add as many as you need.

Yes. During a workout, open an exercise’s menu and choose “Create superset” to pair it with another exercise. SetRep then groups the sets into rounds, and supersets show up the same way in your history.

Yes. Tap a set’s number to mark it as a warm-up or as taken to failure. Failure sets count as working sets, while warm-up sets are not counted as working sets and get their own rest timer.

Yes. The rest timer starts after each set, and you can set separate durations for warm-up sets, compound exercises and isolation exercises in Settings. The countdown also shows on the iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Yes. Choose “Add notes” from an exercise’s menu to note that day’s session, or pin a note to the exercise so it appears in every workout. Pinned notes are good for form cues or setup like rack height and machine settings.

SetRep charts your progress for any exercise you choose and tracks estimated one-rep max (Est. 1RM) personal records. If you log RIR, it also shows how close to failure you have been training. These analytics are free for everyone.

Yes. In History, pick a day and choose “Add workout” to log a session after the fact. To change a logged session, open its menu and choose “Edit workout”, or delete it, which removes it from all your devices.

Yes. Choose your weight and distance units in Settings → Units. When you import from Strong or Hevy, SetRep asks which units you used there, because their exports do not include them.

A training location is a place you train, such as a commercial gym or a home setup, saved with the equipment it has and the weights and plates available. SetRep adjusts your workouts to the location you are training at, and you can switch locations from the workout screen.

Yes, as long as you are signed in. Your programs and workout history are saved to your account, so signing in with the same account on another device keeps both in sync.

Premium renews automatically through your App Store account until you cancel. Cancel any time in your iPhone’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions, and premium stays active until the end of the period you paid for; see the subscription terms.

Go to Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and its workout data. If you can’t access the app, email [email protected] from the address on your account and we will handle it for you.

A data export is coming to the app. Until then, connect SetRep to Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to export your workout history, for example as a CSV; reading your data through the connector is free. You can also share any single workout from History.
