See the right machine history at each gym

A cable row at one gym can feel different from the same weight at another. With Smart matching, Lightweight shows your previous machine and cable sets from the gym you’re training in. If you haven’t logged that exercise at that gym before, Previous stays empty.

Barbell, dumbbell and bodyweight history follows you between gyms in Smart mode. Your workouts remain together in one complete history, and sessions logged at a gym keep that location.

Keep one training plan across different gyms

Create a routine and save different variations of that routine for each gym you train in, based on the machines available there. See your progress, statistics and records per gym. Save machine settings such as seat height or pin position for each exercise and gym.

Log without stopping to manage the app

Lightweight remembers which routine you completed last and which one comes next (Up Next), so you don’t have to scroll through your workout history to see what you last trained and don’t have to scroll through your routines to select the right one. Start your next routine from the app, a Home Screen widget or Apple Shortcuts. Lightweight can also select the nearby saved gym automatically, so you don’t have to set it every time. On iPhone, you can get a notification when you arrive at a saved gym. Tap it to start your workout with that gym already selected.

Once you start, keep the workout moving from the iPhone Lock Screen or Dynamic Island: see the current set and its values, mark it complete, run timed sets and control the rest timer without opening the app. Tap the active workout to return directly to the logger.

Lightweight does not need an internet connection while you train. Start, log, edit and finish a workout fully offline; it is saved on your phone and syncs automatically when you reconnect. Your saved routines, gyms, workout history and progress remain available offline too.

Start from a routine or build the workout as you train. Add, replace or reorder exercises, build supersets, use rest timers and log weight and reps, time or distance. With Pro, create an editable training week around your goal, schedule and available equipment with Smart Trainer. Create custom exercises if you need something outside Lightweight’s extensive exercise library with 3D animations.

Don’t want to track every single lift but still want to remember how often and where you’ve trained? Log a workout without adding exercises or sets. It still counts toward your history, streak and status, and records the gym in your Passport.

AI assistants: choose whether ChatGPT or Claude can analyze your complete Lightweight training history and, separately, whether each connection may create saved routines. Updating an existing routine requires both permissions. ChatGPT saves only after you confirm the exact change. With Claude, review each change before permitting it; approval behavior follows your Claude tool settings. Neither assistant can delete routines, start workouts, change workout history, or access billing and payment details.

Track more than weight and reps

Type “/” in an exercise note to choose or create a tag. The free “Exclude” tag keeps that exercise in your workout history while leaving it out of your statistics. With Pro, create custom tags for anything you want to track, choose whether exercises with each tag count towards statistics, and optionally attach a duration, angle, number or percentage. For example, mark exercises completed during a deload week or while injured and exclude them from statistics, create a “Paused” tag that records pause duration, or create an “Incline” tag that records bench angle. Filter your exercise history by custom tag to follow each variation separately.

Optionally record how close each set was to failure with RPE on a 6 to 10 scale. Lightweight also shows the approximate number of reps left. RPE remains training context and does not change volume, records or recommendations.

Turn on the plate calculator in Training settings, then open it from a compatible weight field. It shows which plates to load on each side for the weight you entered, or the nearest achievable weight. Save the bars and plate sizes available at each saved gym, or use common defaults when no gym is selected.

Find and remember gyms

In the app, search gyms in Lightweight’s directory by available membership and day-pass prices, equipment, amenities and access, or sort them by whether they have the equipment your routine needs. Price coverage varies by gym. See crowdsourced reviews and equipment information, submit a missing gym for review or suggest a correction.

Want a gym chain with branches near both your home and your office? Save the places that matter to you, then see which chains have locations near all of them and compare walking times. Compare two places for free, or up to four with Pro.

Gym Passport turns everywhere you’ve trained into an interactive globe. Countries you’ve trained in are highlighted; zoom in to reveal pins for your gyms, then tap one to see the gym, your visits and workout photos.

Understand your progress

See what you lifted last time beside each set and copy it into today’s workout with one tap. You choose what “last time” means: the most recent time you did the exercise anywhere, in this routine, at this gym, or in this routine at this gym. Smart mode chooses for you—it prioritises the current routine, keeps machine and cable numbers tied to the current gym, and lets barbell, dumbbell and bodyweight exercises follow you between gyms. New personal records appear as you train.

Choose whether live personal-record alerts appear and whether they animate, whether machine records are compared within each gym, and whether PR comparisons restart after 1, 3, 6 or 12 months of inactivity. Returning after the chosen gap begins a fresh comparison cycle, while your lifetime records remain in your history.

Smart matching is free at every gym. The explicit Same gym and Same routine & gym choices are free at your two saved gyms; Pro unlocks those choices at every gym.

Exercise charts compare sessions, while monthly reports summarize workouts, duration, volume, sets, muscle distribution and personal records.

With Pro, Data Lab lets you create your own workout statistics and charts—for example, your estimated 1RM over time, lifetime volume lifted or how your training compares across gyms. Add your favourite statistics to your profile or share your custom stats and charts as a card.

Earn Status points and climb seven permanent ranks

Status tracks your overall lifting life as one permanent rank. Your points increase as you train consistently, improve your strength records, reach milestones for total workouts, lifetime volume and weekly streaks, train at new gyms and in new countries, and contribute gym information that gets verified. Your Status does not decay, and ending a streak never removes points or a rank you’ve earned.

Everyone starts at Pebble and can progress through Stone, Granite, Emerald, Obsidian and Sapphire to Diamond. Rank Explorer shows every threshold, your exact total, where your points came from and what can earn more.

Your rank appears as a coloured ring and glow around your avatar throughout Lightweight, including the Feed, comments, notifications and leaderboards. On your profile, the progress ring fills toward the next rank while higher ranks develop a brighter, animated aura around your photo.

Train with friends on your terms

While you’re training, Lightweight can show that a friend or family member is working out at the same time—even at another gym. See what workout they’re doing and how long they’ve been training.

Working out with a buddy and want to follow their routine? Copy their live workout with your own previous weights and reps. Or use Train Together to follow each other’s sets live while each of you logs your own workout and keeps a separate history, whether you’re side by side or in different gyms.

Once you finish, your workout appears in the Feed for the people allowed to see it.

Compare workouts, training time, volume, cardio, bench press and status with friends. At an eligible public commercial gym you have saved or visited, opt into local rankings for training metrics and estimated one-rep max in the main barbell lifts; boards appear once enough lifters join.

With Pro, connect Oura or WHOOP read-only, or connect Fitbit Air for bounded recovery reads and export of newly completed workouts to Google Health. Connected wearables can compare 30-day average sleep duration with friends; individual nights stay private. Connecting joins the friends Sleep board until you disconnect, and wearable context on an opened workout follows that workout’s audience. Open a completed workout to see Oura readiness, WHOOP recovery or Fitbit Air resting heart rate.

Keep control of your history

Import supported CSV exports from Hevy or Strong, or export completed sets with weight and reps as a CSV. On iPhone, optionally send newly saved workouts and estimated active calories to Apple Health.

The free plan includes your full workout history, lifetime personal records and exercise progress charts, plus up to four routines, seven custom exercises and two saved gyms.
