Training - Workout Support
Training is a gym companion for strength workouts. You build a workout from your own exercises, each with a number of sets, reps and a weight, and then follow it set by set. After every completed set a rest timer starts on its own, so you don't need a separate stopwatch between sets.
It is aimed at people who already know roughly what they want to do in the gym and want a simple structure: no social features or long questionnaires, just your routine, a countdown and a record of what you finished. Once you have a few sessions logged, the statistics show how often you trained each month and which workout you repeat most.

How to use Training
- Create a workout. Open the New Workout tab and type a name such as 'Chest day' or 'Full body A'.
- Add exercises. Tap Add Exercise, enter the exercise name and set the sliders for sets (1 to 10), reps (1 to 30) and weight (0 to 200 kg in 5 kg steps). Add as many exercises as you need, then tap Save Workout.
- Start a session. In the Workout List, tap a workout. The screen shows the current exercise, which set you are on, the target reps and weight, and a progress bar.
- Mark each set. Tap Complete when you finish a set or Skip if you didn't. The rest timer appears automatically: 60 seconds between sets and 90 seconds before the next exercise. Tap Skip on the timer to continue early.
- Finish and review. Tap Finish Workout when you are done. It is added to the History tab with the date, duration, completed exercises and completed sets.
- Check your statistics. Tap the chart icon at the top right for total workouts, total training time, your most frequent workout and a count of workouts per month.
- Keep favourites handy. Tap the star on a workout to mark it as a favourite, or the bin icon to delete it.

Sets, reps and rest: the basics of strength training
What sets and reps mean
A rep (repetition) is one complete movement, such as lowering and pressing a bar once. A set is a group of reps done without stopping. '3 × 10' means three sets of ten reps. Lower reps with heavier weights lean toward maximum strength, moderate reps (roughly 6 to 12) are a common middle ground for building muscle, and higher reps with lighter weights emphasise muscular endurance. All of them build strength if the effort is genuinely hard by the last few reps.
Why rest periods matter
Rest lets your muscles partly recover so the next set can be done with good form. About one minute between sets of the same exercise suits most moderate-weight training, and a little longer when moving to a new exercise helps you set up and catch your breath. Heavy, low-rep sets of big lifts such as squats or deadlifts often need two to three minutes or more. Training's timer gives you a consistent default; skip it when you're ready sooner.
Progressing safely
The principle behind getting stronger is progressive overload: gradually asking a little more of your body over time. Add a rep, then another set, then a small amount of weight, rather than jumping in big steps. Keeping a written record is the easiest way to know what to try next time.
Good technique comes first. Warm up with lighter sets, use a full but comfortable range of motion and stop a set if form breaks down or something hurts. If you are new to lifting, a session with a qualified coach to learn the main movements is time well spent.
Building a simple routine
Many beginners do well with two or three full-body sessions per week, each including a push (press), a pull (row or pulldown), a leg movement (squat or lunge) and a hinge (deadlift variation or hip thrust). Splits by muscle group, such as chest day or leg day, become useful as training volume increases. Leave at least a day between hard sessions for the same muscles.
Frequently asked questions
Are there ready-made workout plans?
No. You create your own workouts from the exercises you choose, which keeps the app flexible for any gym or home setup.
Can I change the rest time?
Not currently. Rest is 60 seconds between sets and 90 seconds between exercises, and you can skip it at any time.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
It keeps counting while the page is open, but browsers may slow background tabs. Keep the page visible during your session for the most accurate countdown.
Where is my data stored?
Only in this browser on this device. There is no account. Clearing site data, using a private window or changing browsers or devices means your workouts and history won't be there.
What is different from the phone app?
The iPhone and Android apps work the same way and show ads that a one-time purchase removes. The web version has no ads or purchases.
