RPE Tracking

Know how your athletes actually feel.

You program the workout. But how did it actually land? RPE tracking closes the gap between what you prescribe and what your athlete experiences. Adjust load, prevent injuries, and coach smarter.

How RPE tracking works in SWEATX

1

Athlete completes the workout

On the SWEATX mobile app, athletes follow the assigned workout — exercise by exercise, set by set, with video demos.

2

Athlete rates session effort

After the last set, a simple 1-10 RPE slider appears. Athlete taps their perceived effort and adds optional notes ("felt heavy", "low energy today").

3

Coach sees the full picture

On the dashboard, RPE appears alongside workout completion, weight data, and pain reports. Trends over time show if an athlete is adapting, plateauing, or overreaching.

More than just RPE

RPE tells you effort. But effort alone doesn't tell the full story. SWEATX gives you the complete picture.

RPE per session

Athletes rate effort 1-10 after each workout. See trends over weeks and months.

Pain reports

Athletes report pain per exercise with location and severity. Catch issues early.

Weight tracking

Athletes log weight per set. PRs detected automatically. See strength over time.

Variance alerts

Dashboard flags athletes with consistently high RPE variance. Spot overtraining.

What you see on the dashboard

RPE trend charts

Line charts showing each athlete's RPE over time. Spot upward trends (increasing fatigue) or flat lines (adaptation).

High variance alerts

Athletes whose RPE consistently differs from expectations get flagged. You know who needs attention without checking every report.

Pain + RPE combined

See pain reports alongside RPE data. An athlete reporting RPE 9 with knee pain tells a different story than RPE 9 alone.

Strength progress

Weight PRs per exercise. When RPE stays steady but weight goes up — that's real progress.

Frequently asked questions

What is RPE tracking?

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is a 1-10 scale athletes use to rate how hard a session felt. It helps coaches monitor training load, prevent overtraining, and adjust programming based on how athletes actually respond — not just what was prescribed.

How do athletes log RPE in SWEATX?

After completing a workout on the SWEATX mobile app, athletes rate their session effort on a 1-10 scale with optional notes. The data appears instantly on the coach dashboard.

What are RPE variance alerts?

When an athlete consistently reports RPE values far from what the coach expected (high variance), SWEATX flags them as "concerning" on the dashboard. This helps coaches identify athletes who may be over- or under-training.

Can I track more than just RPE?

Yes. SWEATX combines RPE with pain reports per exercise, weight tracking per set, PR detection, and workout completion data. You get a complete picture of each athlete — not just effort.
