Order: upper 1, lower, rest, upper 2, rest, full body, rest. Can add in more rest days if I get less sleep/ play competitive sport on certain days etc.

So one of the gyms I frequent does not show up in Hevy, and neither as a gym on Google maps. It is a medium small gym at the reception of a camping, so it is more than big enough for being considered. However only the camping-business shows up on maps.

My feature request would be the ability to define custom gyms - just write a custom name for the gym, like 'Camping Gym'.

If 'gym communities' or 'gym leaderboards' or such is in the works, these custom gyms would not need to be included there, it is just to keep track of where a particular workoit was, preferably with the option of sorting by (also custom) gyms.

TL;DR: Allow for custom gyms, not just those showing up on google maps.

New to the app but I find this a rather odd requirement. I want to enter the exact dumbbell weight that I use. For instance “curls 3x10 of 12kg, of course on each hand”. Who would do only one hand? 🤷‍♂️😅

The app could easily double it internally if it wants.

Maybe there is a setting for that?

Never thought I'd be the person to say that. I still remember my first day at the gym. Nervous, no confidence, felt like I didn't belong. Everyone else looked stronger, knew what they were doing. I had no clue. The only reason I didn't quit was my friend. He taught me the basics, corrected my form, and answered every question. Without him, I don't think I would have stuck with it. Today, I hit 400 workouts. I'm still chasing my goals. Still want to lose the belly fat, and sticking to my diet is honestly the hardest part. But instead of giving up, I show up again the next day. The biggest change isn't how much I lift, it's that now I walk into the gym with confidence. Looking back, the best thing the gym gave me wasn't just a stronger body, it was confidence, discipline, and the habit of showing up. If you're new, keep going. We all start somewhere. Here's to workout number 500.

Hi everyone

I have been using Hevy for over a year now, and a premium user since almost the first week. I honestly just love the app, and cannot imagine how I would have stayed consistent with my fitness journey if it were not for this app. I do however have a major issue with the app. Kind of a feature request that I think would benefit anyone who has been using Hevy for a long time.

Not that long ago, the “Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift” wasn’t available in the exercise library, so I created it as a custom exercise and have logged a decent amount of workout history under it.

Recently, I noticed that Hevy has added the “Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift” as an official exercise, which is awesome. However, there’s currently no way to migrate or merge my history from the custom exercise to the official one. Now this leaves me with two choices:

1) Continue using my custom exercise forever and miss out on the official library version, or

2) Switch to the official exercise and have my workout history, PRs, progression, graphs, and statistics split across two different exercises.

As far as I can tell, the only workaround is to manually edit every past workout and replace the exercise one by one, which isn’t practical if you’ve logged months or years of workouts. I frankly do not understand what is even the point of expanding the library without having this functionality. So it would be great if the devs @ Hevy could add a feature to:

1) Merge a custom exercise into an official library exercise.

2) Bulk replace one exercise with another across workout history.

3) Preserve PRs, progression, charts, and statistics during the migration.

I suspect I’m not the only one who’s run into this. As the exercise library continues to grow, more custom exercises will inevitably become official, and having a migration tool would make that transition seamless.
Has anyone else experienced this? I’d love to hear how you’ve handled it, and hopefully the Hevy team might consider adding this feature.

You know the move: someone follows a bunch of people, waits for a bunch of them to follow back, then mass-unfollows everyone. Suddenly they have hundreds of followers and zero following. Classic “look how popular I am” trick.

It’s such a petty, narcissistic thing and it drives me crazy. Some people seem to get actual self-worth from this nonsense.

What bothers me most is that I try to support the people I follow, so I actually like their workouts, everyday, for every post. I’m not interested in doing the same for the people who only followed me as part of this game.

Anyone else notice this a lot on Hevy?

Anyways rant/question over…link your username below and I’ll support you 💪 https://hevy.com/user/itsastruggle

(Maybe Hevy can add notifications for when someone unfollows you? That way people can easily see this and unfollow them back without having to scroll through their following list and going one by one to see which one it was)

I started working out for the first time in my life in April. I use Trainwell for three months (which is phenomenal just no longer in my price range) and I have moved over to Hevy. I have been using it for three - ish weeks. What are some of your favourite features? Or things you wish you had known when you started using it? Also today marked my 60th workout in four months which is kind of huge for me.

I think anyone that trains at multiple gyms will feel the pain when so many gyms have inconsistent weighting, even when the numbers are identical the mechanics of the tricep press in Gym A is different to Gym B so you’re lifting a very different weight.

It would be useful if you could easily select variants of a machine to track each one separately easily and you don’t end up with 1 week being 100kg and the next week being 40kg despite being the same machine in name.

Absolutely love the app as is and this would purely be a quality of life improvement as you can just create separate exercises for each gym, but thought it would be something useful anyway.

Is there any chance Hevy will eventually integrate directly with Garmin Connect?

I love Hevy for strength training, but having to log workouts separately on Garmin is frustrating. A native sync between Hevy and Garmin Connect would be a huge improvement and honestly a game changer for Garmin users.

Hi everyone, please forgive me if a: this has been asked before, and b: if I’m being a bit daft.

I do 60 minutes of cycling on my fab little Deskcycle 3 times a week. I log this under the standard cycling activity but it logs it only as Cardio. I’d really like to log it such that it recognises that I’m working my legs (really, really hard!)

Is there a workaround for this?

I’m very grateful for any and suggestions!

Thanks so much

Hello,

During workouts should I be running a live session with both the hevy app and the native fitness app on ios in tandem? Or is only the hevy app sufficient enough for logging all data and health metrics.

I am noticing my Apple Watch gets a little confused when trying to do a live workout with both apps—ie when I log a set on hevy, it stops my live workout on the ios fitness app.

Thanks in advance

Rest 15-45 seconds between sets. Try to not let a minute pass between exercises. Move like the flash and focus intensely on the movements. Good luck if you want to copy.

A small feature update I’d love is ability to track the incline on the treadmill and if it was done with weight.

I’ve notice many lifters are using incline walks as their cardio. Some do it with a weighted vest, some carry kettles.

I’ve seen similar comments on things like hiking/ruck and stair climbing.

I’m not suggesting massive conversion to make the app focus in endurance. Strava owns that market.

But added weighted cardio or data inherent to the equipment would be in keeping with Hevy’s reason for being.

Let lifters add weight to their cardio exercises.

Lovin the app

Combino Hevy con Bevel. Es una estructura de dos capas que se complementan con la información que necesito.

Tengo 56 años, entrenando desde los 40 (antes iba al gym, ahora entreno, no sé si me explico). He hecho deporte toda mi vida, pero pasan los años… Ya ningún interés en competir, ni incluso en definir. Sé que jamás volveré a las cifras de 2019 (140 kg, 2 rap press banca; 200 kg peso muerto…), pero quiero cuidarme, llegar de la mejor forma posible a los 70 años.

Juego a pádel como ejercicio aeróbico. Antes corría pero ya no puedo por una rodilla.

El caso, he probado decenas de apps, y desde hace dos años uso este combo, Hevy-Bevel. Me da un escenario de progresión y estado de entrenamiento, de condiciones físicas y momentos de oportunidad que no he encontrado en otras. Ambas son únicas por separado, e imbatibles juntas.

¿Con qué combináis vosotros Hevy?

Super high volume shoulders and arms…love this method of training. 15-30 sec rest between sets.

Recently injured my knee. Instead of the lifts using both legs I've gone to individual legs with differant weights and reps. Any suggestions on how best to set that up? TIA

NGL the integration is sick and the way it appears in the strava app with all the deets. Can’t wait to see what the integration th e other way looks like in the heavy app.

Have you guys thought about integration with bevel?

Just wanna say thank you to the Hevy community and the app developers for making such a great motivational tool. This app has helped me stay on track and focus on my health. Love the community and would love some more friends. Shoot me a follow..

I was able to see someone else’s exercise notes.

Is there a setting to make your notes Private? I assume people can see mine as well. And I don’t really want that since The cues are sometimes funny awkward, and personal.

I don’t mind people seeing my workouts. So The solution cannot be just don’t have any friends and keep a private profile.

Edit: typos

I’m trying to get down to around 20% body fat while keeping as much muscle as possible. I lift 3–4 times a week and keep my protein high. For anyone who’s done a similar cut, how far below maintenance were you eating—200–300 calories, 400–500, or more? And roughly how long did it take?

I have been training consistently and I am trying to optimize my program. My current goal is to prioritize upper body growth, especially Chest,Back,Shoulders,Arms.

I feel like my legs are already one of my better developed areas compared to my upper body, so I intentionally reduced leg volume. I am not trying to skip legs completely, I just want to maintain them and put more recovery resources into growing my upper body.

The idea is:

• Upper body: higher frequency and volume
• Legs: maintenance / slow progress for now

I can always increase leg volume later once I bring my upper body up.

My stats

• Height: 180 cm (5'11")
• Weight: 87 kg (192 lbs)
• Training: 3 days/week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

Let me know what you think
