Hevy

Overview

Hevy is a weight-training tracker for lifters who want structured session records, progress analytics and optional interaction with other athletes. It suits individual gym users who train across phone, browser and smartwatch, especially when detailed set types and long-term history matter. The main trade-off is that useful free limits arrive quickly, while social accounts start public.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Calonge i Sant Antoni, Spain, Hevy combines routine planning with exercise-level records. Its community layer can provide accountability, but privacy controls let users keep training activity more contained.

Key features

Logging and programming

Routines, custom exercises, notes and rest timers cover the practical details of a session. Warmup, drop and failure sets are recorded separately, which is valuable for lifters whose workouts cannot be represented by simple working sets. Adaptive programming and an extensive exercise library make Hevy useful both for self-directed plans and for users who want a broader menu of movements.

Progress and social tools

Exercise charts, complete history, personal records and one-rep-max calculations turn logged workouts into measurable trends. Exercise videos can help with movement reference, while custom exercises prevent gaps in a personal program. Users can follow athletes, like or comment on workouts, save routines and use the community for accountability. Strava integration can automatically share gym workouts with Strava followers, so privacy-conscious users should review sharing before connecting accounts.

Web and wearable access

The web app at hevy.com supports routine creation and planning, exercise-progress analysis and viewing friends’ workouts. Apple Watch and WearOS support adds workout tracking, routine syncing and offline sessions, a practical advantage for training without a phone in hand or a reliable connection.

Privacy and coaching

Accounts are public by default. A private profile and reduced social activity are available in Privacy & Social settings, so users who do not want community exposure should change those settings early. Hevy Coach gives trainers a 30-day free trial; after that, coaches can assign programs and review client performance through Hevy. Customer-service questions go to [email protected]. Covered users have rights including access, correction, deletion, consent withdrawal, portability and objection to processing.

Pricing

Hevy uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs nothing and allows four routines, seven custom exercises and three months of graph history, with limited measurement tracking. That is enough for a small, stable program or for evaluating the logging workflow, but rotating routines and long-term comparisons will run into the caps.

PRO Monthly costs $2.99 a month, billed monthly. PRO Yearly is $23.99 a year, billed yearly, and PRO Lifetime is 74.99 USD as a one-time payment. All three Pro options remove the routine, custom-exercise and graph-history limits, add unlimited measurement tracking and include Hevy Trainer. Monthly suits uncertain or short-term use; yearly lowers the ongoing cost for regular trainees, while Lifetime favors someone committed to keeping Hevy for the long haul.

Platforms

Hevy runs on Android, iOS and the web. Apple Watch and WearOS support covers tracking, routine synchronization and offline workouts. Mobile apps suit in-gym logging, while the browser version is better for planning and reviewing trends on a larger screen.

Who it's for

Choose Hevy for detailed weight-lifting records, adaptive routine planning and analytics that include one-rep-max estimates and personal records. It is also a good fit for athletes who want optional community accountability or smartwatch sessions. It is less suitable for someone needing unrestricted history and many routines without paying, or for users who prefer a private-by-default social setup.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Detailed set logging, including warmup, drop and failure sets; charts, records, one-rep-max calculations and full history; web, Apple Watch and WearOS access with offline support; Pro includes unlimited routines, exercises and history.
• Cons: Free use is capped at four routines, seven custom exercises and three months of graphs; profiles begin public; the one-time Pro purchase requires a substantial upfront payment.

Verdict

Hevy is a strong choice for lifters who want precise workout logging, meaningful progress metrics and cross-device access, with social features available when useful. Choose Pro if four routines, seven custom exercises or three months of graphs are too restrictive; look elsewhere if you need a private-by-default account or a training system centered on endurance, routes or broader coaching operations.
