A Quick Overview of Hevy’s Exercise Library
Navigate to the Profile tab and tap the grey Exercises button below Dashboard. This will take you to the app’s exercise library, where you can search through the 400+ movements and all the custom activities you’ve created.

Recently logged exercises appear at the top, and you can scroll down to your custom movements:

Alternatively, use the search field and filters for available equipment and muscle targets to narrow your search results:

How to Monitor Exercise Performance
Tap on any exercise in the library for additional details. (You can also access the information while building a routine or logging a live gym session by tapping the movement’s name.) The summary section displays your performance on a graph; you can show data from the last three months, year, or all time.

You can tap on different metrics to display them on the graph.

Below, Hevy displays your records for the movement, including the heaviest weight used, your true or projected 1RM, and your best set and session volume.

Under Set Records, you can see the most amount of weight you’ve lifted for a given number of reps:

For bodyweight exercises, it shows the most reps you’ve done in a set and workout.

For duration-based activities, Hevy displays your best time.

And for cardio exercises, you can monitor your distances and best times.

How to Monitor Workout Performance
Another option is to navigate to the History tab at the top to see all the workouts in which you’ve done the specific exercise.

You can scroll through the workouts to see your strength performance from session to session on just that movement. For more details, tap the workout’s name or the arrow icon on the right to see the whole session and the other exercises you’ve done.

This is a great way to access more details that add context and help you understand your training performance.
For instance, you might notice that you’ve been lifting slightly less weight for fewer reps on the lat pulldown in the last five or ten workouts. But as you tap and explore older and current workouts, you might notice that you’ve been doing the lat pulldown third or fourth, whereas you previously did it near the start of your sessions.
That insight can help you better understand how fatigue adds up and affects your performance. More importantly, having access to that information can keep you from getting discouraged.
Exercise Instructions & Demo
The How to tab on the top right provides useful information for each exercise. Most movements come with a demonstrational animation to help you understand proper form. Below, you have written step-by-step instructions on proper setup, technique, and bracing.

You can also access this and the other sections while logging a workout by tapping on any movement’s name. Doing so won’t pause or discard the session.
