What Is Hevy? A Workout Tracker for iOS and Android
Updated
Hevy is a free workout tracker and gym logger app for iOS and Android. It is built for people who lift weights in a gym and want to plan routines, log each workout, and track progress over time. If your main goal is strength training or general gym work, Hevy fits that use case. If you are looking for a general sports tracker, a diet or calorie manager, or a running-focused app, Hevy is not designed for those jobs.
What Hevy Is Used For
The app centers on three activities:
- Building routines — set up a training plan (for example, a 3-day split) so you know what to do each session.
- Logging workouts — record the exercises, sets, and reps you actually complete in the gym.
- Tracking progress — review your history to see how your lifts change over time.
The site also highlights a community angle: you can train and interact with friends inside the app.
Who It Is For
Hevy targets gym-based strength training. That means:
- People following structured lifting routines (splits, programs, or their own plans).
- Lifters who want a written record of sets, reps, and progress instead of notes on their phone.
- Users who want a social element — training alongside friends rather than logging alone.
It is not positioned as a broad fitness or wellness app. There is no evidence on the site that it handles nutrition, calorie tracking, or non-gym sports, so do not expect those features.
Platform and Cost
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Platforms | iOS and Android |
| Cost | Described on the site as a free workout tracker |
| Core features | Routine planning, workout logging, progress tracking, community |
The site presents Hevy as free. It does not list pricing tiers or payment details in the available information, so treat "free" as the stated positioning rather than a full breakdown of every possible paid option.
How to Decide If It Fits You
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you train with weights in a gym? If yes, Hevy is aimed at you. If your training is mostly running, team sports, or classes, it may not match.
- Do you want to plan routines in advance? Hevy supports building routines, which suits program-based lifters.
- Do you care about logging and reviewing progress? That is the core of the app.
- Do you want a social or friend element? Hevy includes a community feature for training with friends.
- Do you need nutrition or diet tracking? There is no indication Hevy covers this, so look elsewhere for that.
If you answered yes to the first four and no to the last, Hevy is a reasonable fit.
