Workout tracking: log every set and progress with data

A routine without a log is a list of good intentions. Progrevia includes free workout tracking built for use in the gym: you record what you do set by set, and the generator itself uses that data to decide what comes next.

Set-by-set logging, from your phone in the gym

In “Train today” you pick the session that is due and log each set with its weight and reps. Next to every exercise you see what you did last time, which is the number you actually need in front of you to know whether today is the day to go up. It works in your phone or computer browser, with nothing to install.

The load for your next session, calculated from what you log

The engine reads your latest logged workouts and applies double progression: if you hit the top of the rep range on every set, it suggests increasing the load; if not, keeping it and adding reps. It is not a generic estimate: it comes from your own numbers.

Routine history and body weight log

Your generated routines are saved in your history, and you can log your body weight and, if you like, your waist measurement to check how they change over time alongside your training.

Your routine as a PDF or by email

Every routine can be downloaded as a PDF or sent by email, with exercises, sets, reps, technique and rest periods, in case you prefer to take it printed.

Your data is yours

Tracking needs a free account because it stores your logs. You can download all your data or delete your account whenever you want, without asking anyone.

Why writing down what you do works: a meta-analysis of 138 trials

Logging workouts is often sold as a habit of very methodical people. The evidence says otherwise. Harkin, Webb, Chang and colleagues published a meta-analysis of 138 randomised trials with 19,951 participants in Psychological Bulletin in 2016 on whether monitoring progress helps people reach a goal.

Interventions that got people to monitor their progress greatly increased how often they did so and improved goal attainment, with an effect close to moderate. Two conditions made it more effective: recording progress physically — writing it down, not just keeping it in your head — and making it public.

Effect of interventions that promote monitoring progress, in the meta-analysis by Harkin et al. (2016): 138 trials and 19,951 participants.

What made it more effectiveRecording it physically and making it public

The scope should be stated precisely: the work pools goals of every kind, not just strength training. What it contributes here is the mechanism, and it fits how progress happens in the gym: without knowing what you lifted last week there is no way to apply progressive overload, only to repeat similar sessions.

FAQ

Is workout tracking free?

Yes. Set logging, history, body weight and the PDF are free. You only need an account, also free, to store your data.

Can I use it from my phone in the gym?

Yes. It works in your phone or computer browser, without installing any app.

What if I do not complete my reps one day?

You log it as it is. With double progression that means keeping the load next session and trying to add reps before going up in weight.

Can I delete my logs?

Yes. You can download your data or delete your account and everything linked to it whenever you want.
