Hevy’s Exercise Library

Hevy’s library has 400+ high-quality exercises. The built-in filters for equipment and muscle targets and the search bar help you find the most relevant ones and easily add them to routines (reusable workout templates) or live workouts.

Each exercise comes with essential details, including:

  • A demonstrational animation
  • In-depth data on your performance over time (heaviest weight lifted, projected 1RM, best set & session volume, and total reps)
  • Performance history (your performance on that lift from workout to workout)
  • Step-by-step instructions on proper setup and execution

The library offers a healthy balance of barbell, weight plate, dumbbell, kettlebell, gym machine, resistance band, suspension kit, and equipment-free exercises.

How to Access the Gym Exercise Library

You can access the Hevy exercise library in two ways:

  1. When creating a routine, logging a session, or adding exercises to an empty workout, scroll to the bottom and tap the blue + Add Exercise button.
  2. Outside these scenarios, navigate to the Profile tab and tap the Exercises button.

Create Custom Exercises

Aside from the existing entries in the exercise library, you can create unlimited custom ones (limited to seven on Hevy’s free version) with the following details:

  • Image
  • Name
  • Required equipment (if any)
  • Primary muscle target
  • Secondary muscle targets
  • Exercise type (such as weight & reps, bodyweight reps, or duration)

Best workout tracking app

This is by far my favorite workout tracking app. You can tell that the creators work out themselves because they know how important it is to be able to label drop sets, failure sets, supersets, etc. It allows me to track everything I need. When if it’s been a while since I did an exercise I can easily take a look at my history.

Kept Me Accountable

I have been using this app since January. I love it. It’s the thing that had kept me in the gym this year because it helps me see results. I love how it syncs with my watch and I can input the weight and reps on my watch or phone. I appreciate that it supplies workouts for different splits so I don’t need to pay for a trainer. I love how it holds the last rep and weight from the previous time I did the exercise.

Really helpful illustrations

My focus now is on building functional strength to avoid injuries as I age. Coming back to lifting as an adult with moderate gym anxiety, the Hevy app has helped me track progress on my weights and allowed me to make intelligent choices about increasing the amount I’m lifting. I really appreciate the illustrations and animations that help me learn new movements.

The Hevy exercise library has 400+ exercises you can do equipment-free or with various training tools, such as barbells, weight plates, dumbbells, gym machines, suspension kits, and resistance bands. There are also some cardio activities you can add to your workouts.
You can add and remove sets, mark sets by type, add the exercise to a superset, write a custom note, set an automatic rest timer, add warm-up sets, input weight, reps, and RPE (or duration) for each set.
Yes. When you access the library while building a workout or through the Profile tab, you can tap on any exercise to open it for details. You can see your performance from workout to workout, records, projected 1RM, best set and session volume, and individual set records there.
If you want to do exercises that are not found in the library, create them manually. You can add details like a movement’s name, required equipment, target muscles, and type––for example, weight and reps.
Hevy’s free version allows you to store up to seven custom exercises at a time. The paid version ($2.99 monthly) allows you to create unlimited custom exercises.
