1. [R1] 5/5 · US Must have for lifting: LOVE this app, it keeps me regular with my workouts, easy to use, shows your PRs, has timers etc and is free, I have been way busier in the gym since I got this
2. [R2] 5/5 · US Favorite app: Hevy is awesome. It keeps you motivated by seeing how much you lift per month, tracks your progress, built in workout timer. All my friends are on it, we like and comment on each others workouts. The interface is super clean and easy to use
3. [R9] 5/5 · US Best w/o app!: I’ve used many workout apps over the years and this is by far the simplest, cleanest, most trackable and personable app I’ve used
4. [R16] 5/5 · US Amazing App!!: It’s SO user friendly. Anything that I’ve wanted to edit, adjust, customize, etc. it’s there. Truly fantastic app for tracking weights, progressive overload, and all progress. Like it gives you GRAPHS and DIAGRAMS!! It truly gives you more details than you’d expect! I would highly recommend this app for people just starting or well along in their workout journey.
5. [R12] 5/5 · US Cool app: I use this a lot to track my workouts and progression. It does it’s job very well.
6. [R11] 5/5 · US This is it: This is the app I’ve been looking for ever since bodybuilding.com ruined their app. You can create your own routines and add an exercises if they don’t have in their library. You can also add gifs, videos, or photos of how to do that exercise. You can track your progress and snap progress pics with the option of keeping it private or sharing. Easy works with apple fitness tracker and m
7. [R35] 5/5 · US Great app: Lots of data and exercises, includes videos of how to do them. I’d say it’s probably one of the best free apps for any level of athlete.
8. [R56] 5/5 · US Best workout app!: Love how easy it is to make a routine and track it. I’m finally able to easily see my progressive overload progress without guessing. I also love that you can search exercises and it has a picture and description of how to do them!
9. [R67] 5/5 · US Easy to use and so helpful!: Love Hevy! It’s free and has so many exercise options with lots of little gifs that show how to do the movement. It’s a really great way to keep track of my progression and stay connected.
10. [R13] 5/5 · US Perfect Gym Companion: Works perfect. Customized my own workouts, and have it connected to my Apple Watch as a perfect workout setup. Rest timers, rep counts, weight inputs, all work flawlessly and has improved the efficiency of my workouts. Highly recommend.
11. [R17] 5/5 · US Simple useful neat: Really like the simple structure of the app and the built in timers. It’s nice to have to take one less thing to the gym ( as I don’t have to take my notebook). That said I’m dipping if they make the essential stuff super limited and put a paywall, or if they add too many adds.
12. [R65] 5/5 · US Very Helpful: I’ve been using the app for a couple months now. It meets my needs of tracking my workouts with reps and weights. It also helps me stick to a proper rest time between sets. I’m happy so far. It’s much better than using the Notes app. I haven’t taken advantage of the “community” within the app, so I can’t speak to that aspect.
13. [R7] 5/5 · US Best workout app for college students: Best gym app!!! I love being able to see all my workouts in one place. Clean, motivating, and gives all the info you need. It also calculates 1RM based on past lifts and remembers PRs. As a college student, I don’t have the money to spend on a paid app. This is the best free app I’ve found, and I’ve tried so many!
14. [R49] 5/5 · US Best Workout Tracker Ever: Been using Hevy for about 2 months and it's absolutely amazing. The free tier is so good most people don't even need to purchase the premium version and it's amazing robust yet simple to use. It has all the features to help me track progressive overload and stay motivated without any fluff or having it all locked behind a paywall. I'm thinking of getting the subscription
15. [R60] 5/5 · US Best app for lifting!: I never do reviews but this app deserves it. Clean UI and perfect to track your workouts and the best part is the free version is solid enough!
16. [R19] 5/5 · US Great Tracking App: love this app use it everyday and it sinks with apple health and strava
17. [R31] 5/5 · US Simple and effective: It tracks and records your workouts, uploads to Strava, does what it is supposed to do. What more can you ask for.
18. [R63] 5/5 · US Love it!: Very helpful app that not only keeps track of my workouts, it also inspires me to work harder to achieve my fitness goals. Love also that it connects with Strava.
19. [R4] 5/5 · US Great app: Love this app. Keeps me on target and reminds me what weight I’m on. Great for challenging yourself and friends. Free is good but I have no complaints about the lifetime membership. My wife, my daughter and I all use it. The like the coach option so they don’t have to figure out what they are doing for each workout, it just tells them what they should do.
20. [R23] 5/5 · US Exactly what I needed: Hevy keeps my lifting progression moving forward. It does a great job keeping history and providing analytics, while not being overly robust to the point of being cumbersome. It’s allowed me to share routines with friends. It also allows me to compare myself to friends, when I need that little push to go a little harder. Love the app!!!
21. [R24] 5/5 · US Grateful for Small community: I use this app amongst myself and two other friends. We all started marathon training around the same time and we simply use it to like and comment on each other’s posts. I really appreciate that it isn’t such a large community. It feels far more intimate than Strava or Nike Run Club.
22. [R371] 2/5 · GB Apple Watch keeps disconnecting: Was great until recently, it can. never stay connected to the watch
23. [R785] 3/5 · AU Frustrating Apple Watch sync issues: So, I have been using the Hevy app for almost 12 months and I really love it. I love the app so much that I am still willing to put up with these ongoing sync and connection issues just so I can continue to use it. But unfortunately, for the last three months, the Apple Watch sync has been breaking during almost every workout. I have contacted the Hevy app tech
24. [R844] 1/5 · AU Deletes progress in the middle of workout: Hevy is pretty good all round but there’s a critical bug that I reported ages back and haven’t heard anything about since. It’s now caused me to lose data on half a dozen occasions and is making me want to refund my subscription and go back to Fitbod. If you wear an Apple Watch, Hevy has a companion app that’s great for gym sessions without your phone… e
25. [R932] 2/5 · AU Unreliable watch sync: Been using this app for about a year now and every now and again it will be unable to save workouts with heart rate data. Even though the phone app and the watch app are perfectly in sync for the entire workout. This app is all about the workout data so to not have all the data I’m wanting, makes it very disappointing.
26. [R249] 2/5 · US Simple and handy, but frustrating: Works well and is easy to use, but free version is limited to 4 total saved workout routines.. I lift 5 times a week so I’m probably going to switch to something else
27. [R44] 5/5 · US Overall GREAT app,: I say that because I only really needed an app to log my workouts and this is perfect, only downside being that you can only have 4 routines for free, any more would be in the paid subscription, but other than that, love the app
28. [R62] 5/5 · US Great App!: This is a great app to track your workouts. So much better than a journal to track your workout’s. Wish there was one more free spot to put a workout but other than that a great app!
29. [R87] 4/5 · US helps add progressive overload: works well for my push pull legs routine and i like the rest timer and checkboxes for sets because it keeps me from spacing out between sets. unfortunately only 4 free routines but it works for me with push pull legs and shoulder PT exercises
30. [R241] 1/5 · US Not What I Expected: The Application Lacks The Ability To Track Calories and Heart Rate In Real Time. The Developers Expect, If You Have An iPhone, to Switch To Apple Health in Order To See Your Estimated Calories Burned As Well As Your Heart Rate. This Presents A Problem While Utilizing The Hevy App In Real Time. I Don’t Recommend This App For Users Tracking Calories Or Users Concerned With What
31. [R405] 3/5 · GB Airpods heartrate travkong doesn’t work: It’s a great app but if you aren’t wearing an apple watch the calorie tracking just goes out of the window. It doesn’t seem to support app 3 heartrate tracker… hopefully will work in a future update
32. [R29] 4/5 · US Great app, kills your battery: This app is great and has the perfect amount of free features. You can have 4 plans, which is perfect for my 4 day split. You can easily add sets and change your weights. It is easy to reorder or switch out an exercise as well. With that being said, it kills my battery. I had a 1 hour workout and my battery was drained 19% from this app, yet it was only on the screen
33. [R34] 4/5 · US Very good app: App is perfect, completely fine to use for free, 100% would recommend. The only issue is it drains so much battery. If this didn’t happen easily 5 stars. I still use it and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have an app.
34. [R404] 3/5 · GB Previous kms: I was checking my previous workouts records but it’s not there . I think the last updated changed all my app .
35. [R152] 1/5 · US do not use rest timer: you’ll go deaf
36. [R611] 3/5 · CA Works Great: I really like the tracker, I hate the social media aspect. I wish I could turn it off and not have random people be showed to me every time I open the app. Also, it would be awesome if it could be made possible to edit/remove previous notes written under exercises.
37. [R975] 1/5 · AU The app won’t work: It use to be so much better but gotten way worse lately. Start and finish button either takes forever to load or just simply wouldn’t. I have workout from days ago that I simply can’t finish because the finish button won’t load (that’s if I’m lucky enough to start it in the first place). Contacted the support team and they were not much help either by giving generic advice su
38. [R20] 5/5 · US This is the most amazing application I’ve ever used: I have been using Hevy since about 2021!! There’s many ways to track your workouts, and this one is SUPERB!! History, small demos on each workout, easily changeable workouts. I used to not be a premium member, which gave me 4 workouts that I could customize to my liking. However, I changed to the premium which is only about $20 a year. That’s ri
39. [R47] 5/5 · US Great app!: I’d recommend this. It’s the best I’ve found and I like that I get to create my own workout routine. I love that it shows you how to do the exercises and the monthly reports.
40. [R74] 5/5 · US So great: I love that it allows me To create custom exercises. As most of what I do are not typical.
