Hevy Workout Log: How to Save a Workout

Start a new session (be it by using a saved routine as the template, starting an empty workout, or copying a recent workout from the Profile tab), do the workout as outlined (it could be as little as one activity and one set), and tap Finish on the top right.

This action takes you to the next window where you can access additional options before saving the session to your profile:

Available Options When Saving a Session

  • Change the session’s name – write a new name for the session or modify the existing one if you want.
  • See and edit the duration – you can tap and change it.
  • See volume and the number of sets – next to duration, you can see the number of sets you’ve done and the volume load.
  • See and edit the date and time – choose a different start date and time to log a workout you’ve completed before.
  • Upload video and images – tap the ‘Add a photo / video’ text or the icon on the left to take a photo or upload photos and videos from your library.
  • Write a description – write a note with feedback, observations, or even an update for people who follow you on Hevy. You can also tag people by adding @ and writing the person’s name.
  • Change the session’s visibility – decide if you want that specific session to be publicly available to all users (or your followers, in case you have a private profile) or private (only visible to you).
  • Sync – if you have any active integrations, you can select where the workout appears (for example, in Apple Health and Strava).

If you’ve used a routine (reusable workout template) and have made changes, such as adding or removing exercises or sets, the app asks if you want to update the original routine. Accepting this applies the changes to the routine; declining keeps the original routine the same for future use.

Additional Options and Information

Once you complete and save a workout, you’re taken to a new window where you can see the ordinal number of the workout, your active streak (only for the first workout of the week), and options to share the session on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (or X), or copy the link and post is elsewhere.

Multiple slides in the middle display useful and motivating information like:

  • New personal records (if any)
  • Your workout consistency in the last seven days
  • An overview of the workout (duration, number of exercises, sets, and volume)
  • An overview of the exercises, number of sets for each, and a workout muscle diagram

There’s also a neat comparison based on your volume load. For example, “You lifted a total of 6,615 kg. That’s like lifting an elephant!” It’s a nice touch that puts your efforts into perspective.

Creating Routines From Workouts

Once you save a workout, navigate to the Profile tab and scroll down to see it, along with all your other completed sessions. Tap the three dots next to any workout and select Save as Routine.

Edit any of the training details, change the name if you want, and store it in your library. You can find the routine in the Workout tab and reuse it unlimited times.

WORK OUT. TRACK PROGRESS. SOCIALIZE.

Whether you’re a regular person, competitive bodybuilder, or athlete, Hevy allows you to log sessions, track progress, and socialize.

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.

Yes. You can finish a session so long as you mark at least one set as complete. Hevy will only display the sets and exercises you’ve completed.
Let’s say you want to change variables like removing some sets or swapping an exercise for just one workout. Make any changes you wish to the workout while logging it. Then, as you complete the session, Hevy will ask if you want the changes to be applied to the routine. Select Keep Original Routine.
No, these options are not mandatory. You can tap Finish to complete the workout and select Save without adding other information to the session.
The current limit is three images or two images and one video per workout.
No problem. Go to the Profile tab, scroll down to the workout, tap the three dots, and delete it from your profile or select Edit Workout. The latter option allows you to change the duration, start date and time, description, visibility, media you’ve uploaded, and all the training details (like adding or removing sets and exercises).
