Why it matters

A training log is only useful if it survives the gym

Between sets you have one hand, ninety seconds and no patience. A log that makes you find the exercise, remember last week and type four numbers is a log you abandon in February and replace with a note on your phone. Loopa puts last time on the screen and asks you to confirm it.

What it records

The set, and everything that follows from it

One logged set feeds the history, the records, the volume chart and your day.

The set

Reps, weight, RPE, and the kind of set it was

Working, warm-up, drop, failure or AMRAP. Warm-ups are marked so they never set a record and never inflate your volume.

Cardio is logged the same way with distance and duration instead of load, and pace is worked out from those rather than asked for.

The catalog

453 exercises, and room for your own

Searchable by name, muscle group, equipment and movement pattern, with a form cue on each one. Add your own for the machine only your gym has.

6 starter programs are built in, assembled from 15 routines, so you can follow something sensible from day one instead of designing a split before you have trained once.

Records

6 kinds, and one of them refuses to guess

Estimated one-rep max, heaviest weight, most reps, best set volume, best pace and longest distance. Loopa tells you when you beat one.

The one-rep max is estimated, always, and Loopa says so every time. It comes from the weight and reps of a set. Above twelve reps it returns nothing rather than a number, because that is where the formula stops meaning anything and a fictional record in your history is worse than a gap in it.

Programs

A block you follow, not a split you re-plan every Sunday

Build routines, put them into a multi-week program, and Loopa puts the sessions on a calendar. Today’s workout is one tap from the home screen or a widget.

If you work with a Loopa Coach they can write the block for you and assign it, as long as you have turned on training sharing. How coaches build programs

Where the numbers come from

What you logged, and what Loopa worked out

You entered itEvery set. The reps, the load, the RPE and whether it was a working set. Loopa stores what you logged and does not adjust it.
EstimatedThe one-rep max, the per-muscle volume split and the energy a session used. All three are calculated and all three are labelled.
MeasuredHeart rate or distance arriving from a watch, if you have device sync. Premium, and the sets stay in Loopa either way.

FAQ

Questions about workout tracking

The ones that decide whether it survives a real session.

Is workout tracking free?

No. The whole workout feature is part of Loopa Premium, including the logger itself. Two things stay free so a lapsed account still owns its own record: deleting a session you logged, and reporting a comment somebody left on one. Logging ordinary activity, which is walks, runs, rides, steps and active minutes, is a different feature and it is free. Activity tracking.

How many exercises are there?

453 in the platform catalog, and you can add your own. It also ships with 6 starter programs built from 15 routines, so you are not starting from an empty screen.

Does it show my last session?

Yes. The numbers you hit last time are already on screen when you open an exercise, so repeating a set is a confirmation rather than a re-entry. That is the difference between logging in the gym and logging from memory afterwards.

What records does Loopa track?

6: estimated one-rep max, heaviest weight, most reps, best set volume, best pace and longest distance. Warm-up sets never set a record.

How is the estimated one-rep max worked out?

From the weight and reps of a set, using the Epley formula, which is what most strength apps use. It is an estimate and Loopa always calls it one. Above twelve reps it returns nothing at all rather than a number, because the formula stops being meaningful there and a fictional record in your history is worse than a gap.

What does training volume mean here?

The load you actually moved: reps times weight, added up across the completed working sets. Per muscle group, a set credits its full volume to each primary muscle and half to each secondary one, which is a convention rather than a measurement, and the chart says estimated. It describes what you did. It does not measure a training stimulus or tell you what you need to recover.

Does it work without a signal?

Yes. Log the whole session offline and it syncs when you have a connection. Every session and every set carries an identifier your phone made, so a replayed sync updates the workout instead of duplicating it, and two devices cannot delete each other’s sets.

Do my sets sync to Apple Health or Health Connect?

The session does; the sets do not. A completed workout appears in Apple Health and Health Connect as a session with a duration and a type, which is what those platforms model. Exercises, sets, reps and loads stay in Loopa because there is nowhere for them to go. What syncs.

Does a workout change my calorie target?

No. A completed session is folded into your day so the dashboard, your reports and any challenge see it, and its energy figure is an estimate. Your calorie target does not move because you trained. More on that.

Can a coach write my programs?

Yes, if you are working with a Loopa Coach and you have turned on training sharing. They write the block on desktop and it lands on your calendar. You need Premium to open it, because the workout feature is Premium. The program builder.

Your next session is enough to start

Workout tracking is part of Loopa Premium. Logging a walk, a run or your steps is free, and always will be.
