Track effort with RPE

RPE adds useful context to weight and reps by recording how hard a set felt to you.

Settings → Workout → Track RPE

  1. Turn on Track RPE

    Open Settings and enable Track RPE. The RPE field will appear when you log or edit a set. This display preference stays on the device.

  2. Use the 1 to 10 scale

    Rate the effort after the set:

    • 10: You could not complete another rep with good form.
    • 9: About one good rep remained.
    • 8: About two good reps remained.
    • 7: About three good reps remained.
    • 6 or lower: The set was increasingly comfortable.

  3. Record what you felt

    Choose the closest honest rating. RPE is personal, so it does not need to match another trainee’s rating for the same weight.

  4. Look for patterns

    Exercise reports can show RPE effort trends. SmartSpot can use repeated comparable working sets to support or hold a future increase.
