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.

Hevy provides detailed data on set count per muscle group, how your training volume is distributed between muscles, and what exercises you do most often, along with a breakdown of your performance on any exercise you’ve logged in the app.
Go to Profile > Statistics > Set count per muscle group. Here, you can select to load data from the last 30 days, three months, year, or all time. The filter on the right allows you to display weekly, monthly, or annual data. Select the monthly breakdown and what muscles to show on the graph.
Yes. So long as you mark primary and secondary muscles while creating custom exercises, Hevy will break down your performance and training volume just as it would when using movements from the app’s library.
Yes. The free version provides access to all the above information, though you can only load graphs from the last three months. Hevy Pro (only $2.99 monthly) allows you to see data from the last year or all time.
You can upload an entry every day. Each entry can have as much or as little information as necessary––for example, an entry could have a progress photo, along with weight, body fat, and all 14 circumference measurements, or it could only have a single measurement, such as weight.
