Science-Based Training Load Monitoring

RPE Trainer helps athletes and coaches track training load with the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) method. Monitor workload, prevent injuries, and build performance deliberately.

RPE Logging

Rate each session's effort on a 0–10 scale — training load (sRPE) is calculated automatically from effort and duration

ACWR Monitoring

The ratio of acute (7-day) to chronic (28-day) load shows whether your training is ramping up at a safe rate

Recovery Tracking

Daily wellness check-in: sleep, fatigue, muscle soreness, and stress

See How It Works

Real dashboards, real data — this is what managing training load looks like in RPE Trainer

Analytics That Talks to You

Training load (sRPE), the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR), and wellness trends on one chart. See at a glance whether your load is ramping up safely or next week needs adjusting.

Why RPE?

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a scientifically validated method for measuring training intensity and load

Your Actual Load

Training load is calculated from your own effort rating — it reflects how your body actually responded, not just time and distance

Injury Prevention

The acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) flags load spikes before they lead to overtraining or injury

Science-Backed

Session RPE (sRPE) and ACWR are extensively researched in sports science and used in elite sport worldwide
