What is a HEP?

A home exercise program is the work an athlete does without you in the room. It is where most of the recovery happens — and where most software stops paying attention.

01
Build

Search 800+ exercises by muscle, equipment, or category. Set reps, load, tempo, and hold time. Add your own notes or video demonstrations.

02
Assign

Send the program to the athlete with a weekly schedule. It lands in the Rivalists app with demonstration images and step-by-step instructions.

03
Track

Completion, RPE, soreness, and wearable recovery data come back automatically. R1 Pro flags the drop-off before it costs you a milestone.

Adherence

Every session comes back to you.

A printed handout goes quiet the moment the athlete leaves. In Rivalists the program keeps reporting — what was completed, what was skipped, how hard it felt, and what the athlete's recovery data did in response.

  • Per-exercise completion logged in the athlete's app
  • Self-reported RPE, soreness, and pain on every session
  • Wearable recovery data from WHOOP, Oura, Apple Health and more
  • R1 Pro flags adherence drop-off and concerning trends
  • Async messaging when something needs a same-day answer
  • A written record of the program for notes and progress reports

HEP FAQs

Home exerciseprograms, explained.

A home exercise program (HEP) is the set of exercises a provider prescribes for a patient or athlete to perform on their own between appointments. It typically covers mobility, activation, strengthening, and sport-specific work, with defined sets, reps, load, and frequency. Because an athlete spends far more time outside the clinic than in it, the HEP is where most of the recovery and progress actually happens.
