How it works

Nothing moves without a reason you can read.

Workset sets each workout from what you logged last time, and every weight carries one plain line in your own numbers. Tap Why for the range, the rule and the arithmetic, down to the plate.

The set screen with Why open: last time 220 × 12 on all three sets, each with a full row of rep bars, bracketed into today’s 225 × 8. Range 8 to 12 reps. Rule: 12 on every set, so add the smallest step and start again at 8. So 220 + 5 = 225, a 2.5 plate a side.The set screen with Why open: last time 220 × 12 on all three sets, each with a full row of rep bars, bracketed into today’s 225 × 8. Range 8 to 12 reps.

How a weight moves, in the app’s own words

  1. Up 5 lb. You got 12, 12, 12 last time.
    Aim for 8 reps.

    Top of the rep range on every set, so the weight goes up.

  2. Same weight. Aim for 9 reps.
    Last time: 8, 8, 8.

    Not at the top yet, so a rep comes before weight.

  3. Short last time. Same weight again.
    Nothing changes unless it happens twice.

    One rough session and the weight stays.

  4. Short twice in a row, so down 25 lb.
    That’s 10% off, onto a weight you can load.

    Two in a row and it comes down, then builds back.

  5. Up 5 lb. All 5 × 5 done last time.
    Same plan: 5 × 5.

    On 5x5 Linear, every workout you finish all your sets.

    2Say what you lift now

    Each lift starts from your answer, snapped to a weight you can load.

  • Type it in

    Enter a weight you can do for about 8 clean reps. That lift starts there, on a weight you can load.

    “Starts at 225 lb × 8.”

  • Bring your history

    Import a Hevy or Strong CSV export. Your past workouts show up in Workset and set your starting weights.

    During setup or later

  • Or test it

    Leave a lift blank and it starts with one light test set in the gym. Your answer sets the working weight.

    One set, then go

In the gym

One tap per set.

The weight and reps are already filled in. Hit the target and logging the set is one tap.

The set screen mid-workout: set 1 of the back squat logged at 225 × 8, set 2 up next. The bar drawn with 45 + 45 a side on a 45 lb bar, Romanian deadlift next, and the rest row counting down 1:39 with −15, +15 and Skip above Log 225 × 8.
Set 2 of the back squat: the plates for each side, and rest counting down above the Log key.

  • Rest on the Lock Screen

    The rest timer keeps running when you lock your phone, counts down on the Lock Screen and alerts you when rest is up.

  • Plates for each side

    The bar is drawn with the plates for each side, so you load it without the math.

  • Loads you can make

    Weights snap to what your gym can load: barbell, dumbbell and machine steps, in lb or kg.

  • Type or hold

    Type a different weight, or hold + to count up fast.

  • Machine taken

    Swap the exercise, add an exercise or a set, or skip to a different workout.

Who it’s for

For people who already lift.

It’s for you if

  • You already train, often three or more days a week.
  • You’d rather follow a proven program than write one.
  • You’re done doing the math in a blank log or a spreadsheet.

It’s not for

  • Your first weeks in a gym. Many exercises have a How card, but Workset assumes you know your way around.
  • Building a program from a blank page. Workset runs its five; you can swap and add exercises inside them.
  • A feed. There are no followers, likes or leaderboards.
  • Android. Workset is for iPhone.

Questions

Before you lift.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in. Your workouts are stored on your phone, and training works offline.

Can I bring my history from another app?

Yes. Import a CSV export from Hevy or Strong during setup, or later from Settings. Your past workouts show up in Workset and set your starting weights.

What if I miss my reps?

One rough session keeps the weight where it is. Two in a row and it comes down 10%, then builds back. On 5x5 Linear a miss repeats the weight, and three in a row cut it 10%.

Does it work in kilograms?

Yes. Pick lb or kg. Weights snap to the barbell, dumbbell and machine steps your gym can load.

Can I change programs later?

Yes, in Settings. Your working weights come with you.

What happens after the free workouts?

Once you have used 6 workouts and 14 days, starting a new workout needs a plan: Yearly, Monthly or Lifetime. Your history, charts and export stay open either way. See plans and prices
