Your training week, summed up with a verdict

The review everyone skips

Everyone agrees a weekly workout report is a good idea; nobody actually does it. Re-reading the week's workouts, comparing exercise by exercise against the previous week, spotting what's climbing and what's stalling: that's exactly the work that turns a log into progress, and exactly the work nobody wants to do on a Sunday night with a spreadsheet. It takes twenty minutes, requires a method you'll second-guess, and the motivation to do it evaporates the second week.

So we run on feel. "Good week, I think." Except feel remembers the last workout, not the week; Tuesday's PR erases Thursday's stall, and a loud finish papers over a quiet start. Gymmy's weekly recap exists for this: it does the re-reading for you, numbers attached, and hands it back as one sheet you read in two minutes. Not a report to build. A report that's already built, out of the workouts you logged anyway.

A verdict, not a dashboard

The "Your week" sheet opens with a sentence, not a wall of charts: "Week of progress", "Stable week" or "Week backing off", along with the number of exercises behind it, so you always know what the verdict stands on. "Progressing, 5 exercises up" is not the same information as "progressing" alone: one is a conclusion you can trust, the other is a mood ring.

That verdict is computed, not decorative. It rests on comparing your exercises through estimated 1RM, the same measure Gymmy uses everywhere to compare sets at different rep ranges. It's built not to flatter you either: a tiny e1RM change counts as "stable", never as progress. No false positives to make the sheet more pleasant to read.

It also owns the bad weeks: "backing off" is a possible verdict, written plainly. A report that can't say "this was worse" is useless in exactly the weeks that matter. And a "stable" week isn't failure in disguise: holding your weights through a brutal stretch at work is already a result. The verdict says it as it is, no drama either way.

Three tiles, three deltas

Right below the verdict, three tiles set the frame. Each one carries its difference versus the previous week, because a raw number without its context is just decoration:

• Workouts: you held your rhythm, or you didn't, in one number.
• Sets: your overall volume for the week, against last week's.
• Records: how many personal records fell this week.

The records tile isn't just a counter: it opens a detailed sheet of the week's records, exercise by exercise. A three-record week deserves better than a "3". You get to revisit which ones, on which lifts, and that changes the color of the whole Sunday.

The delta is what makes these numbers useful. "42 sets" says nothing; "42 sets, +8 vs last week" tells the story of a comeback. A week is never judged in isolation, always against the one before. The recap makes that comparison by default, every time, without you opening anything else, digging through history, or trying to remember what last week even looked like.

The lifts moving up, and the ones slipping

This is the part you'd never do by hand, even with the best intentions: Gymmy ranks your week's exercises by estimated 1RM gain (the Epley formula, which lets you honestly compare this week's 80 kg × 8 to last week's 85 kg × 6), and shows the top 3 climbing and the top 3 slipping.

The climbers feel good, but it's often the decliners that are worth the look. An exercise going backwards is real information: accumulated fatigue, drifting technique, poor sleep, or just a bad day. Your call, but at least you saw it, that same week, while there's still time to adjust something. Without this ranking, that kind of signal drowns in the noise of a week and only surfaces once the plateau is already installed. The climbers, meanwhile, feed your personal records whenever they beat an all-time mark.

Your sets per group, with the detail

The recap also shows how your volume was distributed: your sets per muscle group, with tabs and a drill-down into fine muscles. It's the weekly edition of the sets per muscle screen, at the moment it's most actionable: the week just ended, the next one hasn't started.

This is typically where you notice the chest got its full share while the rear delts vanished from the radar again. It's the kind of imbalance that never shows up mid-session, because no single workout is responsible for it. And if you want benchmarks to read those volumes against, our article on how many sets per muscle per week lays out the ranges the research suggests.

Sunday 6 pm, only if you want it

The "Your week" sheet is available anytime from the Activity screen, one tap on the ✨ icon. Nothing forces you to wait for the weekend: open it on a Wednesday to see where the week stands. For those who like the ritual, an optional notification arrives on Sunday at 6 pm, when the week is over and the next one is taking shape. Optional for real: switch it off in the settings, and nothing changes about the recap itself if you do.

And the weeks with no training? The recap doesn't turn into a courtroom. You get a kind empty state: "Quiet week… your progress will pick up right where you left it." No zeroed-out chart, no red arrow, no streak of shame. A quiet week is a quiet week: it happens in every training life, your calendar often even knows why, and your history hasn't moved an inch. The recap that matters is the next one, and it will be waiting.

What the recap will never tell you

No prescriptions, ever. The recap will never tell you how many sets you "should" do, won't fix your program, won't generate next week's plan, won't set you a target of any kind. Gymmy measures, sorts and compares; you decide. That principle runs through the whole app, and the recap is where it matters most: an honest, well-sorted report makes a self-directed lifter sharper. An auto-generated plan would just make them obedient.

The recap feeds itself from the workouts you log: nothing to fill in, nothing to export, nothing to maintain. It's the Sunday-night spreadsheet session you were never going to do, done anyway, every single week. Log your week, read your Sunday. Your first 10 workouts are free, no credit card required.
