FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Get Shredded free?
Yes. Workout logging, the built-in programmes, history, PRs, recent progress charts and the whole XP, streak and achievement system are free, with no card required.
What does Pro add?
Get Shredded Pro (£5 a month or £50 a year) adds your own AI coach (up to 100 messages a day), smart next-weight suggestions, unlimited custom plans and goals, long-range and muscle analytics, full body-measurement tracking and a Pro badge. It renews automatically until you cancel.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs in your browser. On your phone, use "Add to Home Screen" to install it like an app — it opens full-screen and works offline.
What happens if I lose signal in the gym?
Keep logging. Your workout is saved on your phone as you go, and finished workouts sync automatically once you're back online.
How is XP earned?
Mostly for consistency: completing workouts (at least three working sets), completing planned workouts and weeks, keeping your streak, genuine personal records (capped per workout), quests and achievements. There's no reward for training more often than you planned.
Will a rest day break my streak?
No. Streaks count weeks, not days. If you planned four workouts and did four, the week counts — whichever days you trained. Every four completed weeks earns a streak freeze for when a week goes wrong.
How are PRs detected?
Weight, rep, estimated 1RM and volume records are checked every time you finish a workout. Your first ever session on an exercise sets the baseline; beating it later is a PR.
What is RPE?
Rate of perceived exertion: how hard a set felt, out of 10, based on how many more good reps you could have done. 10 = none left, 9 = one more, 8 = two more, 7 = three more. It's optional when logging; plans use it as an effort target.
How is estimated 1RM calculated?
With the Epley formula by default (Brzycki is available in settings). Sets above 12 reps aren't used, because estimates get unreliable.
Can I use pounds?
Yes. Choose kg or lb in settings. Your plate calculator uses the bar and plates you set up.
Can I sign in with Discord?
Yes. You can sign up with Discord, or connect Discord to an existing account from Settings.
Who can see my workouts?
Only you. Profiles, workouts and body measurements are private by default.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from Settings. It permanently deletes your account and all your data.
Is this medical advice?
No. Get Shredded is a training log. Suggestions and load notes are based only on your logged history and aren't medical or injury advice.
