Loadstep: Strength Training

Loadstep decides what goes on the bar, so you can stop doing arithmetic between sets.

Log a set with one tap. The next load, the next rep target and the rest timer all follow from what you just did — worked out on your phone, the same way every time, with no connection needed.

WHAT IT DOES

• Tells you the weight, and tells you why. Every prescribed load carries the reason it changed: every rep completed last time, a rep short, a scheduled deload, a stall reset.
• One tap to log. The set is saved the moment you tap it, the rest timer starts, and the plates for your next set are already worked out for the bar and plates you own.
• Rest that survives your screen. The countdown keeps running in a notification, with skip and ±15 seconds on the lock screen.
• 200 built-in programs. Full body, upper/lower, push-pull-legs, bodyweight, kettlebell, hybrid and conditioning blocks, from 1 to 7 days a week. Filter by days and by the equipment you actually have.
• A first session in four taps. On a fresh install, three quick answers pick one starter program for you; everything else is still there to browse.
• Step-by-step instructions for all 773 exercises, 736 of them photographed, and a swap button that offers real alternatives mid-workout and asks what to do with the sets you have already logged.
• Progress you can read. Strength curves with an honest trend line, weekly volume, session length, a personal-record timeline, and this week's hard sets drawn on a body.
• Your history stays yours. Export everything to CSV, import your history from another training app's CSV, and back up to your own Google Drive.
• A home-screen widget for today's session, and an app that reads in English or Spanish.

WHAT YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER DOES — AND DOES NOT

Ask for a program and your trainer designs one around your goal, the days you train, how long you have and the equipment you own, then shows you up to three options to choose from. The first time, it asks before sending anything: designing sends your training details to Loadstep's coaching service — never your name, never anything about injuries. Say no, or ask with no connection, and the app still builds the same kind of program itself: the same days, sets, reps and rest, filled from its own exercise library with the equipment you own. It never decides a load. Every number on the bar is computed on your phone by the same engine that runs every other program here, from the sets you have logged. No account and no sign-up.

Loadstep never asks about injuries and stores nothing about them.
