Hevy review

Hevy is a logbook rather than a coach, and it does that job for little or no money. Hevy describes itself as a free workout tracker for iOS and Android, and its App Store listing says the free app has no ads. You build routines, mark warmup, drop and failure sets, and let automatic rest timers run between sets. Progress shows in exercise charts, personal records and a one rep max calculator, and you can add custom exercises when the library lacks one. The Apple Watch and Wear OS apps let you log a full session with the phone in a locker, even offline, and a web view at hevy.com shows routines on a big screen. A social feed lets you follow friends and copy their routines. Hevy Pro is listed on the App Store from $2.99 per month, $23.99 per year or $74.99 for lifetime. What Hevy does not do is plan for you: there are no instructor classes and no adaptive weight picks like Fitbod.
