How to track effort with RPE or RIR

Updated July 13, 2026

Effort tracking adds a column to every set where you log how hard it felt — either as RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) or RIR (Reps in Reserve).

Turn on effort tracking

During a workout, tap the gear button to open Workout Settings.
Under Effort Tracking, choose RPE or RIR.

The Display section of Gript Workout Settings with Effort Tracking set to RPE — Effort Tracking in Workout Settings — Off, RPE, or RIR.

An RPE or RIR column appears on every exercise. Not sure which scale to use? See RPE vs RIR.

Log effort for a set

Tap the RPE or RIR field on a set.
Pick a value from the quick-pick options that appear above the keyboard. Each value shows a plain-language description — for example, RPE 8 is "Hard — could do 2 more reps."

Gript set rows with an RPE column showing logged efforts of 8, 8.5, and 9 — The RPE column sits next to reps; previous efforts show under last time's numbers.

Turning it off

Set Effort Tracking to Off in Workout Settings. Previously logged values stay in your history.
