After installing, go through the short onboarding. 8REP doesn't require an account or sign-in — all data is stored locally on your device. To get the most out of the app:
Logging workouts and meals, Apple Watch, the barcode scanner, household measures, Apple Health integration and backups are free. Readiness is free with no limit; Coach and deload work fully for your first 10 strength workouts. 8REP Pro adds unlimited Coach and deload, training blocks, the plan generator, unlimited plans, outdoor workouts with GPS routes, advanced progress (strength standards, 1RM trends, progress photos), adaptive TDEE, unlimited recipes, "Month in numbers" and coach export.
Open any Pro feature or go to Me → 8REP Pro (also in Settings → Unlock 8REP Pro). Available options: monthly, yearly (with a free trial for new subscribers) and a one-time "Lifetime" purchase (no renewal). Prices are always shown in your currency by the App Store.
Enter it in Settings → Enter code or on the 8REP Pro screen ("I have a code").
In Settings or on the 8REP Pro screen, tap "Restore purchases". Purchases are tied to your Apple ID, so after reinstalling or on a new device you just restore — no new payment.
Apple manages subscriptions: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The "Lifetime" purchase doesn't renew and needs no cancelling.
The Apple Watch app installs together with the iPhone app (or from the Watch app → "Available Apps"). With the watch you can:
The integration is optional. Once on, 8REP can read weight, calories, sleep and heart rate and save completed workouts (with heart rate and calories) to the Health app. Change permissions in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → 8REP.
Health data (weight, heart rate) stays on your device and is never synced through iCloud.
iCloud sync is optional and off by default. Turn it on in Settings → iCloud sync. After changing the setting, restart the app.
In Settings → Backup you can export all your data to an
.8repbackup file and restore it later or on another device. Coach export
(PDF report and CSV log) is part of 8REP Pro.
8REP can remind you about meals, weigh-ins and workouts and let you know when your rest is over. You can turn notifications on during onboarding and change them in Settings → Notifications → 8REP.
We don't run our own servers and don't use analytics or tracking. Details are in the privacy policy.
You can delete all data in the app: Me → Clear data (choose categories). Uninstalling the app removes local data; if you used sync, delete iCloud data in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.
