My current deadlift PR at 40. I pulled 170 kg. Failed 180 kg and that was a disappointed. My goal is 200 kg. So its not that far or impossible. Life time natty. I just wanna be some what strong that I don't need any help when I am old to do basic things. Maybe this post is better
Today I was deadlifting and trying a new PR.
I couldn‘t lift the weight so I logged 0 reps for this weight.
When concluding the training I got the message for invalid sets and the removal of these.
Why can‘t I log a failed attempt and keep it for my workout history? I‘d really love if you could add this feature.
Other than that I really love the app in conbination with my Apple Watch.
There comes another small request into my mind: when adding an exercise during a running workout the exercise is always put on the end of the workout. I‘d rather have it added right after the actual exercise. That would safe the extra effort to re-order the exercises separately.

I’m a Hevy user of three years, and I frequently (>50%) travel for work around the world. I keep my workouts going when I’m on the road, making the selection of hotels a heck of a task, and often a disappointment.
Due to Hevy’s large user base, it may be possible to crowdsource a few aspects of hotel gyms by users. I would happily contribute in my 20+ hotels per year! I can’t imagine I’m the only person with this problem, so a feature to alleviate this may drive users to the platform, and keep users engaged.
Similar to a restaurant review on many platforms where accessibility, opening times, and other aspects are added by businesses and/or community members, Hevy could track a few a key points:
-Available equipment
-Max dumbbell weight
-How busy it was during the time of workout
-Known opening times
-Cleanliness
-State of equipment
I’m a big fan of the app and I hope you keep growing! 💪🏼
A great month!! How’d you guys do? U/n : Quandayledingle
Hey 👋
I'm Gustavo, Head of Product at Hevy (joined ~3 months ago). Kicking off an update series.
First, some context on how we ship. Almost every week we're putting out new improvements and bug fixes. Each release goes to our beta users for about a week, and once it's solid we roll it out to all of you. So there's a lot happening under the hood even when it's quiet from the outside. Our philosophy is to keep the app simple, so every feature gets a lot of thought before it ships: the goal is always to add value without making your workout more complicated.
Shipped recently:
On our radar / in progress:
We monitor Reddit and in-app feedback closely, and a lot of what's above came directly from you. Keep it coming 🚀💪🏻
🧸 Quick personal story:
I turned my own health around during the pandemic, losing a lot of weight once I committed to it. What kept me going was connection, first a doctor who genuinely listened, then the routine of training 4-5x a week with friends and eating well. It changed my life.
That connection is exactly why I loved the idea of joining Hevy. Three months in, the time has flown by, and I couldn't be more bought into the mission of making humanity stronger: a product built for you/me/us, simple, honest, accessible, and community-first.

1 Question For You
The strongest part of Hevy isn't a feature, it's the people using it.
Who or what got you into lifting in the first place? I'd love to read your stories in the comments.
p.s. Don't skip leg day. 🤣 (Last month, ~1 in 5 lifters trained arms and never once trained legs)
Seria otimo a sincronizar com os SmartWatchs da amazfit, o app zepp é muito bom, mas falta o app de exercícios fisicos, deixar o celular de lado durante a academia, é bom para a saude mental hehehe
So I recently started a Push-Pull-Leg split system which I really like and I've seen some recommendations say to hit this 2x a week while others say once is enough if you go hard enough. My schedule doesn't really allow for me to make it to the gym 6 days a week but 3 is easy to hit everything. Should I be worried that I'm not doing everything twice if I'm hitting failure on sets?, does anyone who does this system notice a huge difference going 6 days a week?
Does anyone have anything they use for tracking what they eat that works well with Hevy? Or if anyone from Hevy reads this are y'all working on something similar? Thanks
Hey everyone 👋
Better notes is one of your most requested updates, especially the ability to add notes at the exercise level that actually stick around, not just the temporary ones that clear after your next workout.
So we built a prototype exploring different note types and how they fit together, and we want to get it right before we commit. The tricky part is adding this power without cluttering the logging experience, so your input here matters a lot.
Got a few minutes? Run through the prototype to see how the experience feels:

And of course, feedback in the comments is always welcome. We're reading everything.
Thanks for helping us build Hevy with you 💪
Hi, been using the App since it first came out and loved it.
Some stretches / poses etc. require holding for a specific duration like 30 sec. Often, my hands are busy so I can’t look at my watch. I’m constantly flipping back and forth between Hevy and my watch’s timer to countdown the duration. You can specify the duration in the Hevy routine, but it counts-up, not down. I suggest a toggle switch at the exercise level: “Count up/down” and in the down state, there’s an alert when the timer reaches zero, like at the end of a rest countdown.
Is there a way to not have to put in the weight for each set? It drives me insane having to have to swipe on the weight column on my Apple Watch for each set.
Just for clarification: For example, if I’m doing 5x5 for squats, and 275 is my first set, I enter that it on my watch by sliding down for a while. Then, for the 2nd set, I have to do it all over again.
I’ve been starting my lifting sessions using Apple Fitness’s built-in “Traditional Strength Training” workout type on my Apple Watch, mainly because the watch integration feels cleaner — heart rate, calorie estimates, and closing the Activity rings all seem more seamless natively than routing through a third-party app.
The obvious trade-off is that I miss what Hevy is actually great at: logging sets, reps, and weight, and tracking progression over time.
So my questions for you all:
• Do you rely on Hevy’s Apple Watch app to track workouts, or do you run Apple’s native workout for the watch metrics and just log in Hevy separately?
• Does anyone run both at the same time? Any issues with that (double-counting calories, HR conflicts, etc.)?
• If you’ve tried both, which gives the better overall Apple Watch experience?
Trying to land on the best setup before I fully commit. Appreciate any input.
I use Hevy to log weight training, calisthenics and hybrid workouts, and I love the app. It find it gets everything right for me, but I end up creating lots of custom exercises and adding notes to cover gaps that could probably be handled through extenstions.
A few additions that would make Hevy much stronger for calisthenics and hybrid training:
1. Expanded equipment options
It would be great to have equipment like rings, parallel bars or parallettes. Even having the option to add custom equipment with the “Other” would be useful.
2. Comprehensive resistance band logging
For band-assisted or band-resisted exercises, it would be useful to log band colour/type per set, ideally with an optional resistance or assistance range (which would have to be user definable due to the inconsistencies between manufacturers).
This would make progression much easier to track for things like assisted pull-ups, one-arm chin-up progressions, planche work, banded HSPU, and band-resisted lifts.
3. More calisthenics exercise variations
The exercise library could use more calisthenics and rings-based movements, for example:
4. Exercise modifiers for progressions/regressions
Rather than needing a separate custom exercise for every variation, it could be useful to apply modifiers to an exercise or set, such as:
I know calisthenics isn’t Hevy’s primary focus, and some of these requests are much bigger than others from a UX and engineering perspective. But even small additions, like better equipment tagging and band logging, would reduce the need for custom exercises and make the app much better for calisthenics, rings, and hybrid strength training.
Hevy already goes a long way toward supporting this style of training. A few targeted improvements could make it even better.
Hii! I’ve been using this app for about 6months and love it very much!! I was wondering if anyone has found a way to see your all time cumulative weight amount? I’d love to see how much I’ve lifted overall without having to add each month up! Thanks for any help!!
I all, sometimes I like to see how much others squat etc but I foud it so weird, I see some people have cca the same squat pr as me, but do 3 times more on leg press machine as me.
It does not seem logical...
Thought I'd share my halfway point for 2026. As a 44 year old busy dad aiming to lean as possible for holiday in August.
Everything logged on hevy:
So far this year:
-Trained consistently 6 days per week training at 5am to avoid impacting family time.
-Stayed in a conservative calorie deficit while maintaining strength
-Body weight: ~172 lb to 162 lb as did a long sustained lean bulk from September (where I got very lean) until January then started a cut.
-Still progressing on key lifts despite the cut
-Daily step goal and 30 minutes of cardio after each session
The biggest lesson has been that consistency beats perfection. Just keep turning up especially when I consider where I was when I started this journey at start of 2024 (third pic). There weren't any magic workouts just boring consistentcy sticking to progressive overload and no special supplements as natural with only supplements I take being creatine, whether, fish oils and multivitamin. Always been patient, logging everything, and making small improvements over time.
Still aiming to get a little leaner before my August holiday, then the plan is to transition into anothee slow lean bulk for the rest of the year.
Happy to answer any questions

Ι would like to request a feature that allows users to exclude specific exercises from workout statistics.
The idea is to add a simple checkbox or toggle on each exercise, for example: “Don’t count in stats.” When enabled, that exercise would still remain in the workout log, but it would not be included in statistics, rankings, charts, PRs, or “top exercises” summaries.
Use case:
I regularly log warm-ups, mobility work, and post-workout stretching because I want to remind myself to do them and keep them visible in my training history. However, these exercises often dominate my monthly statistics. For example, my top monthly exercises are always warm-ups and stretching, which makes the top 5 less useful for reviewing actual training volume and progress.
Expected behavior:
Exercises marked as excluded should still appear in the workout itself, but they should not affect statistical summaries. This would make the stats more meaningful while still allowing users to log important supporting work.
This would be especially helpful for users who track warm-ups, rehab/prehab, mobility, stretching, activation drills, or other routine exercises that they want to remember but do not want included in performance statistics. :)
Hello! I’m new to working out and still trying to wrap my head around body recomposition. I’ve read a lot, but there’s so much info, it can get confusing
My trainer’s main focus for me is gaining strength, but one of my personal goals is to also lose a little weight and body fat
From what I understand, recomposition usually involves being in a calorie deficit while still building muscle. But if I’m training primarily for strength, will I still be able to achieve recomposition? Or do these two goals conflict?
Beginner in the gym. What do you think about this split? Is there something i should Edit, add or remove?
