// get repeater using get_post_meta()
$repeater = 'repeater'; // name of repeater field
$sub_fields = array(
  // holds names of all sub fields
  'sub_field_1',
  'sub_field_2',
  'sub_field_3'
);
// init rows
$rows = array();
// repeater meta holds number of rows
$count = intval(get_post_meta($post_id, $repeater, true);
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
  // build row
  $row = array();
  foreach ($sub_fields as $sub_field) {
    $row[$sub_field] = get_post_meta($post_id, $repeater.'_'.$i.'_'.$sub_field, true);
  }
  $rows[] = $row;
}
