Strengths and weaknesses
Hevy
- Generous free plan with unlimited workout logging
- Quick, clear logging screen mid-workout
- Active community for routines and motivation
- Free plan caps the number of saved routines
- Less hand-holding than coaching apps like Fitbod
Hevy is the best workout tracker for most lifters. Logging sets is fast, rest timers and previous numbers sit right where you need them, and the free plan is unusually generous. A social feed lets you follow friends and copy their routines. Hevy Pro unlocks unlimited routines and deeper analytics. The main catch is that it tracks your training rather than planning it, so you bring the program.
