Rhetra: Gym, Crossfit, Hyrox
Not claimedA logbook records what you did
By Victor Calvary · Health and fitnessWhy we expect it: A thoughtful fitness app that explains every load, adapts plans, and offers strong Apple Watch support.
In short
Rhetra: Gym, Crossfit, Hyrox is a workout logbook and training planner for iPhone and Apple Watch. It plans sessions from chosen programs such as StrongLifts 5×5, Push/Pull/Legs, or Hyrox, and explains each suggested load, with the option to log everything offline. Its standout feature is that it refuses to estimate a 1RM beyond 12 reps rather than guess.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
A logbook records what you did. Rhetra tells you what to do.
A rhetra, the word that was law in Sparta — is the rule you set yourself and stick to. Rhetra knows it's Tuesday, that it's Push day, week 3 of 8, and that your bench press goes up to 82.5 kg. And it tells you why.
THE PROGRAM, NOT JUST THE LOGBOOK
Pick an agoge — StrongLifts 5×5, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, calisthenics, CrossFit, Hyrox, running — or build your own. Days, a duration, a progression rule: the plan moves forward on its own. Strength on Tuesday, a run on Thursday, in the same agoge.
EVERY LOAD EXPLAINS ITSELF
“82.5 kg, +2.5: your 3×5 went through last week.” The engine proposes, you decide: nothing is saved without your OK. And when it doesn't know, it says so: past 12 reps, Rhetra refuses to estimate your 1RM rather than make one up.
YOUR RACE, READY FOR RACE DAY
10K, half marathon, marathon, HYROX, obstacle races: three levels, from three to twelve months. Each week tells you what to run, at what pace, and what to lift alongside.
THE REMINDER THAT GETS YOU UP
“Push: 82.5 kg bench press, +2.5.” The notification carries today's load. Skipped a session? Rhetra offers to move it. Never a reproach.
SPEED, WHILE YOU TRAIN
One tap per set, screen kept on, rest timer in the Dynamic Island. Supersets, warm-up sets, the plates to load. 263 exercises with their form cues, written and reviewed, never generated on the fly. And mobility routines at the end of your session.
