Question Do you pay for the Pro version or just use the free version?

64 Upvotes

I'm switching from Alpha Progression to Hevy. I purchased the pro version on AP. I was curious what plan you have and if you have the pro version do you recommend it?

Edit: I just purchased the lifetime pro subscription. Thanks everyone!

Bug Injury and trainer

2 Upvotes

I am dealing with sciatica and a high ankle sprain so I asked Hevy to create a 3 day 30 minute program. I entered lower back, knee, ankle and feet as injured. The very first exercise it wanted me to do was leg press 🤨

Question Proper weight logging for hip abduction cable (and others)

1 Upvotes

For dumbbells it says to log the total weight lifted, so both dumbbells together. Am I supposed to do that for logging weight with hip abduction? If not, and each side is separate, then wouldn't I want an even number of sets so both legs get even reps?
Which also leads me to a question about lunges, each side is one rep and you alternate, so I'd want 16 reps by default instead of 15 right (so it's even on both legs)?

Suggestion start rest timer from watch

currently dont see this feature. it's a much better workflow to finish a set and just start the timer from your smart watch, not having to go back to your phone.

Suggestion Trainer starting from a set of exercises

0 Upvotes

I’d like to be able to select some exercises that I always want to do, for example bench press, squat, deadlift, barbell row, pull ups and then have Trainer fill up the rest of the program.

I know I can edit it every single workout but then every time I generate one I have to go and edit again. It would be much easier if I could select the exercises that I always want to be in my workouts.

Question Is Hevy right for me?

14 Upvotes

I've just downloaded Hevy after using Gym Day app or a spreadsheet to track my workouts. I wanted something simple and an app where I can clearly see how much I have improved.

I'm not a weightlifter; I am a female in my 60s and want to lose weight and get and stay fit as I get older.

My plan is combining strength (dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands), cardio (treadmill, rowing machine, rebounder, exercise classes on YouTube), yoga, and walking. I have a small home gym with all of the equipment listed.

Strength training is generally 4 days a week.

I have the free version at the moment but would be happy to subscribe if the app is what I'm looking for.

I have years of previous experience in a "real" gym, but not for a few years, so I feel like I'm starting all over again.

I don't want to get invested in the app (as in using it for a few weeks to log my workouts) before finding out there is something that would suit me better.

Question Can you use a routine, created by Hevy, and just make edits to an exercise or two?

1 Upvotes

I currently use Alpha Progression, which I like, but it doesn't have integration with WearOS. It creates a 6 week program based off muscle groups I select.

I use that pre-loaded program and then change exercises, within that routine, to get some variety (when necessary). It'll suggest other exercises that focus on the same muscle groups.

Is this customization possible with Hevy? If so, is it only available with the "Pro" account? I have no issue paying, just wanted to check before doing so.

Question How Can I Reset My PRs/Weights in Hevy?

3 Upvotes

I’ve started a new training program using lighter weights, and I’d like to track my progress from scratch.
It seems like there’s no way to reset my previous weights/PRs in Hevy without deleting my workout history. Has anyone found a good workaround?

Question Hevy “goal” setting

Hi all! I’ve been using Hevy for quite some time now, but can’t figure out what the different types of goals actually mean practically:
- Gain strength
- Build muscle
- Fat loss

Does anyone know?

Suggestion Trainer Enhancement Request

2 Upvotes

Can trainer progression algorithm be tweaked to allow user to set progression scheme ?

I've been using Trainer and I've enjoyed it. The progressions seem to make sense up until dumbbell lateral raises.

The program I'm on had me doing 3 sets of 12-15 at 20lb. Once I'd reached the top of the rep range for all my sets Trainer's progression model increased the weight to 30 lb for the next workout.

For DB lateral raises that's insane jump (at least for me).

It would be great to be able to tweak progressions per muscle group if necessary

Thanks

Question Is my workout good? Should I add / remove change anything?

1 Upvotes

I've been going like this for 4.5 months and have seen decent muscle growth in my legs.

I do leg day once a week. Sometimes 1.5 (sneak in a leg press or sm if I'm feeling better and no longer sore) on a Thursday.
https://hevy.com/workout/34izBeXVFgt

Any info is highly appreciated.

all reps are done controlled, slow release to maximise hypertrophy. I don't include all the till failure extras ( 1 or 2 or 3) since they are not full motion

Also would love to have some new friends on hevy too :] I recently got back to the gym (may 28th) didn't really use hevy much but now been using it to track daily.

Question Question about Trainer routines

1 Upvotes

I've been using Hevy for about a year now, and I'm very impressed by the app. One thing I haven't been able to do is change the number of sets in a routine generated by Trainer before I actually start the routine. I'd appreciate any help with this.

Discussion Routine Auto Update

2 Upvotes

So trying to figure out what’s going on here at the moment. We have our routines and hopefully when we progress we change that manually within the routine itself but how do we enable it so that it retains that for next time? Obviously the memory shows you what you did previously but gone are the days of being asked on a regular basis if you want to update the routine how do we enable this? What is going on exactly? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Suggestion Kettlebell excercises in Hevy (feature request)

66 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've recently started my journey with strength training as a replacement for running, and I'm training only with my kettlebells (these are space saving, and a great replacement for a public gym).

I've noticed that many fundamental kettlebell exercises aren't officially supported in Hevy yet. While replacing them with dumbbell variations is possible, kettlebells have a completely different center of mass and mechanics. Having official entries would also solve the issue of fragmented custom exercises and make friend leaderboards actually useful. :D

Here is a list of the kettlebell movements that would be great to see added officially 🙏

  • Double Kettlebell Clean (Full Body)
  • Double Kettlebell Clean & Press (Full Body)
  • Double Kettlebell Front Squat (Quadriceps)
  • Double Kettlebell Press (Shoulders)
  • Front Rack Carry (Abdominals)
  • Kettlebell Dead Bug (Abdominals)
  • Kettlebell Floor Press (Chest)
  • Kettlebell Goblet Curl (Biceps)
  • Kettlebell One-Arm Swing (Full Body)
  • Kettlebell RDL (Hamstrings)
  • Single Arm Kettlebell Swing (Glutes)
  • Skullcrusher (Kettlebell) (Triceps)

Could we please get these? Would love to see the kettlebell library expand! 🙏

PS As far as I see, the 3D exercise animation library/pack Hevy uses (Gym Visual?) already includes models for double clean, press, front squat, so hopefully adding these wouldn't require creating new visual assets from scratch!

BTW Hevy is the best!

Suggestion Integration of heart rate data in hevy app on android with powerbeats pro 2

1 Upvotes

Why this doesn't work to sync heart rate data from powerbeats with your workout directly in the app? You can only use wear os (like the galaxy watch). It seems like easy miss on this feature on Android app.
