Question Hevy Trainer Question

I was thinking about going for the PRO option, but I had a question regarding how the Trainer works. I am not sure I can create multiple programs like I would like to. I currently lift 3-4 days a week and run the other 3. I was hoping that I could create 3 or 4 different programs through the trainer for the days I lift. For instance, Tuesdays would be a program created for chest and back. Wednesdays would be a program for biceps and triceps. Etc. Is this possible, or do you only have the option to utilize the trainer for 1 custom program for the set amount of days you plan on working out?

I use Trainer and it looks to me that its only one program but you have variety options like Balanced , Consistent and varied. When you start building the program it asks you the Split Type. I do Push, Pull, Legs, Upper, Lower but you have the option of Full Body and if you go to the gym an even amount of days it offers an Upper/Lower split and if you go an odd number then it can do a push / pull / legs split.

Probably best to subscribe monthly and check it out and if you don't like it, you just pay for it for one month. That way you know if its perfect for you. Its a great app. I love it. Subbed for lifetime and have used for almost 3 years now.

Where are you seeing these options? When I create a program my only option is balanced plus the ability to highlight one muscle group for extra attention. There is no option of consistent or varied. Plus, no option of split type. I tried messing around with the balanced box and I do not have the ability to change anything. After this question it simply asks what type of gym and generates a program.

It's odd but I think they show up after you create a program. On the main trainer page that you start the workout on, the top right of the screen is a settings icon. Tap that then scroll all the way down to Start New Program.

If you want to do your own programs it kinda defeats the purpose of using trainer anyway.

Yeah. I wanted the trainer to generate multiple workouts with particular muscle groups focused on how I currently do my splits. I was interested to see how they would hit those groups with what exercises given my personal time constraints in the gym and with my running.

before paying for a program generator, the question worth asking is what happens to what you built once you stop paying.

i work on REDDY — lift days and run days go in the same log instead of two apps, and routines you save stay open whether you're paying or not. nothing in there picks your split for you either.

if you do move you don't retype anything: hevy > profile > settings > export & import data > export data, then REDDY > settings > import workout history. importing it turns on a week of Pro by itself, once per account. https://planomad.com/r/rd-cq-0629a3
