What Can You Log and Track in the Hevy Workout Tracker?

Hevy is a free workout tracker for iOS and Android that lets you log workouts, build reusable routines, measure progress, and share training activity with friends. It fits lifters who want a simple gym log rather than a full coaching platform: you record what you actually did in a session, then review the history to see whether strength and training volume are moving in the right direction.

What you can log during a workout

The core of the app is session logging. For each exercise you add to a workout, you record the details that define the set:

• Exercise — the movement performed, chosen from the app's exercise library or added as a custom entry.
• Sets — how many working sets you completed.
• Weight — the load used for each set.
• Reps — the number of repetitions per set.

Because these four values are stored per set, the log reflects what you actually lifted rather than a plan. That distinction matters later, when you compare a planned routine against real performance.

Building and reusing routines

Hevy separates planning from logging. You can create a routine — a saved sequence of exercises — and reuse it across sessions instead of rebuilding the workout each time. This is what makes structured splits practical to follow, since a recurring training day can be started from the saved routine and then adjusted set by set as you train.

The site also publishes training guidance alongside the app, such as a guide to a 3-day workout split, which pairs with the routine feature for people following a fixed weekly structure.

Tracking progress over time

Once sessions are logged, the history becomes the measurement tool. You can review past workouts to see how strength and training volume change across weeks. Practically, this means answering questions like:

• Is the weight on a given lift increasing over time?
• Is total volume per session or per muscle group trending up, flat, or down?
• How does today's session compare with the same routine from previous weeks?

Progress tracking only works if the log is consistent, so the value depends on recording sets as they happen rather than reconstructing them afterward.

Sharing with friends and the community

Hevy includes a social layer: you can share workout activity with friends or the wider community inside the app. This is optional and separate from private logging — useful if accountability or visible progress motivates you, unnecessary if you prefer to keep training data to yourself.

Who this suits

The app is positioned as a free workout tracker and planner for iOS and Android, so the practical starting point is simply installing it, building one routine, and logging a session to see whether the logging flow matches how you train.
