" July 29, 2026 5.0 Pros The UI/UX is incredibly intuitive and smooth on both the coaching and client end! If I need to upload exercises that aren't included in the library, I'm able to easily attach Youtube and other open-source links without having to record them all myself! Cons I purchased a lifetime Pro subscription before realizing that the Coach subscription stood separately. I'm still waiting to hear back from the Support team about transferring my Pro subscription dollars towards the equivalent Coaching subscription timeframe. I do hope we can work towards a solution! Switched from [Lifetime Analytics](https://www.capterra.com/p/10009951/Lifetime-Analytics/) As a Personal Trainer at LifeTime, I was unsatisfied with the club's in-house UI/UX and its bugs Review Source Mo H. Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very promising " May 13, 2026 4.0 Generally fantastic, and a solid starting point that is extremely affordable. Very glad that the app hasn’t been hit by the AI of it all yet. A very promising platform that has a lot of potential. Pros The exercise library is fantastic, assigning programmes is straightforward, the metrics and insights are detailed, especially how it links with Apple Health and also takes data from other fitness accessories to give a more complete snapshot at any given training interval. Cons I think the mobile app needs more functionality and true dedication put into it. A web-based app doesn’t suffice and makes checking in on clients more difficult. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Too messy and difficult to use, slow interface and impossible to use on mobile. Review Source Katherin W. Personal trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform to use! " November 8, 2025 5.0 Very easy, simple to use, my clients love the format and videos that are in each workout. I also use Hevy for my own personal tracker too! Pros The software is super easy to use, my clients enjoy the platform, and it’s so easy to build new workouts on! Cons I don’t have many cons to go off, maybe just that I can’t access programs I built on my personal page. Another is there’s not many options for nutrition or meal planning. Switched from [My PT Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/146651/My-PT-Hub/) Better value for my money and easier to use Review Source MC Matt C. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app but needs improvements!" June 18, 2026 5.0 Overall, I am very happy with this app. I have tried several competitors and this by far has the easiest interface for my clients. That is the most important thing for me is to remove as much friction as possible for my clients. All of the back-end functions definitely need upgrading to be more competitive with other training apps. Pros It is incredibly easy to use. Programming is a breeze. I can easily create custom workouts. As a Physical Therapist and a trainer, there is not a program that covers both prehab and strength training exercises. But creating custom exercises are very easy. Most importantly, the app is super easy for my clients to use. This was the main reason I selected Hevy over several other competitors. The price is very reasonable. Cons There is no billing option so I have to charge my clients separately. I do not like how I can't lock the programs I created. Meaning, my clients can modify a program I created during their workout and save the changes. I am ok if they need to swap out an exercise mid-workout because a piece of equipment is occupied, but I do not want them to be able to save it permanently. I would appreciate if you want to swap an exercise mid workout that the app would keep the body part the same and not go back to the base library. So if I want to swap out a dumbbell lat pullover, I would like to hit the swap button and see a list of lat exercises, not the whole library. I would like to be able to assign a workout on a certain day of the week. For example, if I create three workouts, they are listed in my client's folder and I cannot assign certain workouts on certain days of the week. Lastly, I would love if the Hevy app had offerings for coaching reminders, such as protein or hydration intake.

The app is easy to use for them to log/track their data Switched from [CoachRx](https://www.capterra.com/p/253158/CoachRx/) CoachRx is way too clunky for my clients to use. Terrific back-end features, but poor user interface for my clients. Review Source CV Carla V. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great app for all personal trainers! " March 1, 2026 5.0 It has been a game changer for creating and tracking client workouts for me! It is so much easier than following a client around with a clipboard as I used when I first started training! Pros It is easy to use and even my clients who are not tech savvy catch on quickly how it works. I like the exercise library and how easy it is to add my own custom exercises. I also like that I am able to make a program library and store my many programs to use with various clients. Cons I think it would be better if you could have more clients on the app than ten for the base fee. Maybe 15-20? When you are staring out as an PT every dollar counts.

Absolutely can not reccomend it enough and the lead tracker and link to an enquiry page included absolutely incredible! Pros I love hevy! I used it for my own training and tracking and when i was told about "hevy coaching" i instantly had to try it! Both me and my clients absolutely love it Cons I think the main thing that could do with some improvment is the layout on drsktop it sometimes cuts off towards the edge of the screen and no way to scroll to the right Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Hevy is better for time managment as creating my own spread sheets was getting very time consuming Review Source MQ Milly Q. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good but needs a few small tweaks" May 18, 2026 4.0 overall positive for the price point and easy to use as a coach. So many apps have useless features where as this is good for training. Pros I like how fun it is for the user. My clients say its easy to use and the layout is user friendly for beginners. Cons I would really like a way to review client progress on a lift within the plan editing screen. Having to switch tabs or pages or write down weights or reps can be a bit more time consuming. So having a way to review the progress of the clients assigned to that programme from that screen would be good. Or even just their previously attempt autofilled would be good. Switched from [My PT Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/146651/My-PT-Hub/) Their pricing structure was terrible and lengthy contracts were not feasible for this industry. Review Source Luke S. Personal Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "NORD STRENGTH approved " March 24, 2026 5.0 Perfect, exactly what I needed! I did not need or want messaging or onboarding service, just an app that tracked strength and worked seamlessly and this was it! Pros The metrics I need for my coaching are volume and 1RM, this app tracks it easily for me and my clients. Cons The social media style homepage and aspect, I found no use in it however some of my clients have enjoyed it.

I can quickly see their previous workouts, weights, reps and progress without having to keep everything manually. Since I coach clients in person at my own gym, it also helps a lot when they train on their own. They always have their program with them, and I can still follow their progress and make adjustments when needed. It saves me a lot of time and makes my coaching much more organized. Cons The main thing I’d like to see improved is the exercise library. There are still some common exercises and machines that are missing, which means I sometimes have to create custom exercises for things that are actually pretty standard in the gym. I’d also like a bit more flexibility and customization on the coaching side, especially when managing multiple clients. These are relatively small issues overall, but expanding the exercise and machine library would definitely make Hevy Coach even better for coaches working in a real gym environment. Review Source Jacob E. Certified Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A clean app that is helping elevate the client experience" July 18, 2026 4.0 I enjoy the app and so do my clients. I am still learning how to best utilize the routines and features such as body measurements and progress pictures. Pros I like that there are visual exercise demonstrations and the user experience (design) is clean. The ability to create custom exercises is also a plus. Cons Some areas for improvement include being able to adjust your clients name (vs. the username they select). In addition, being able to edit routines from the coach app vs. having to complete online would be nice. Some clients don't want the same routine each time and the app doesn't seem like it is designed for flexibility - I am in a small gym so the ability to pivot on the fly is critical. Review Source KJ Kim J. PT Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent coaching app" May 4, 2026 5.0 Excellent experience so far. Very easy to use and a simple interface for clients to interact with also. Pros Ease of use. Scalable pricing structure. Simple user interface. Have really enjoyed using the Hevy platform so far. Has worked seamlessly for a short pivot to remote coaching. Cons Could do with some more exercises in library as had to custom build a lot. Some of the exercise instructions could be better. The Hevy coach app would be better if possible to see people's completed sessions from the app Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/)[Everlytic](https://www.capterra.com/p/235406/Everlytic/) Reason for choosing Hevy Coach Price and easier to setup and use.

Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best one I've used build by a confidence inspiring team" February 19, 2025 5.0 4.5 stars and I have high hopes for what these guys are building. Can't wait to see where it'll be in 6 months/1 year Pros Responsiveness of the app. I has been clearly developed by skilled engineers that know what they are doing. Also love how quick their customer support is. I had a minor issue and \[sensisitve content hidden\] and one of the engineers immediately jumped on it. They know what they're doing. Cons They are still on their early days and they clearly ensure that what they release to us is of top quality (unlike other coaching apps that just add features upon features and then nothing works). That said, I wish they focused a bit more on how efficient it is to review workouts and to give feedback to clients. The experience is currently seemless but it there is room for improvements on the visibility and efficiency side of things Alternatives considered [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) Reason for choosing Hevy Coach Price, features, reliability. The only positive thing was customer support. Pretty sure they test things in production instead of internally before releasing. Felt like a house of cards. Switched from [Coach Catalyst](https://www.capterra.com/p/187707/Coach-Catalyst/) CoachCatalyst was very poorly build. Slow. A fair of unusable features. Review Source PA Pablo A. Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best fitness app of the moment" June 3, 2025 5.0 I liked it so much that I didn't want to use any other. I know there's a very famous one, but it's more expensive, and I don't see how it could beat Hevy. Pros Its minimalism and how easy it is to use, sometimes less is more and in this case it is fulfilled but it does not mean that it does not have functions and capabilities. Cons Sometimes the weights are mixed up between lb/kg, which can be confusing, depending on whether you're using the app or the web version. The illustrative/attached videos are also somewhat hidden within the exercise. Switched from [Everfit](https://www.capterra.com/p/202837/Everfit/) It's quite comprehensive, but trying to mix everything together becomes somewhat complex. Furthermore, you have to assign the plan by day or week; Hevy always leaves this within the user's reach. Review Source ZV Zac V. Owner, Head Coach and Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hevy Coach Review" October 4, 2024 4.0 Overall experience with Hevy Coach has been positive, and clients say they love it. Pros Firstly I love Hevy Coach's interface! It is smooth, clean, intuitive, and easy to use! This is what mainly drew me to Hevy Coach in the first place. Writing client programs is also really easy due to the powerful workout builder. On computer, you get a really nice dashboard of how many clients you have, who's been active & inactive in the last 7 days, and which of your clients have completed a workout, and some other details. There is also a chat feature fully built into Hevy Coach, so you don't need another messaging platform to coach your clients. Cons When clients accept your invitation to Hevy, they are given a random username such as "canuck79" or "swift\_calf30180", which is not editable by you as the coach afterwards. As a coach, this makes it extremely difficult to keep track of your clients in the app. There are currently no stretches in the Exercise Library, so if you're a coach who likes to prescribe stretches to your client, you'll have to do it elsewhere. There is also currently no method of prescribing any sort of nutrition/calories/macros to your clients, so if that is part of your service, you'll need to find a different method of doing so. The chat functionality is very, very basic at the moment. Text, emojis, photos & videos are all available. Sending hyperlinks, read receipts, emoji reacts and the ability to "reply" to specific messages are all missing at the moment. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) I didn't like the workout logging interface of Trainerize Review Source RK Rashid K. Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My clients love Hevy" December 6, 2023 5.0 The customer support and team are extremely friendly and always respond to feature requests and work on them. Most other apps leave you in the inbox with a thank you message and take months if not years to process your feature request. Pros It's a simple and easy dashboard that has a very clean app with UI. It has all of the tools required to track progressive overload and make sure clients are enjoying their workouts. Compared to other apps they're either too confusing or have too many bells and whistles that make it confusing for clients. Hevy does a very good job at keeping things simple but extremely effective and easy to use. My clients love it. Cons The only struggle with Hevy is that for a fitness coach to provide full transformation it would be great to have it integrate with apple health so we can see data on sleep, steps, and so on. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Hevy is 10x simpler to use. Trainerize tried to become too many bells and whistles that were unnecessary. Hevy was simple and straight to the point and was easier for clients to use. Data Visualization on Trainerize was horrible. If you use Hevy you can EASILY see your clients progressive overload stats, volume stats, duration stats, everything can be viewed easily with charts innate in Hevy. While Trainerize you have to export data into a extremely messy excel file and then spend hours trying to clean it up to create graph. Review Source AV Aurora V. Personal Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy, simple & intuitive " September 25, 2024 5.0 From someone who has been working on Excel this was a well upgrade to do my job: easy, simple, quickly. Pros The UX is clean, intuitive to use it, I'm from México and regardless the language barrier (and obviously the fact that you can change it in the app) it was so easy to try it the first time, for me and for my training clients. I love that as a couch I have an overview of my clients workouts with all the data you can get. Cons The only con is not having an app for coaches to use it at phone, only by desk but I mean it works great, this could be more helpful in a future. Another con it's that not all the exercises have a video for showing how to do the movement but it's ok, I guess this will be updated eventually. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Because I needed to be able to do my job: easier, in less time, with the support of videos explaining some exercises, functionality. Review Source BK Brandon K. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very good and could easily be improved" January 24, 2024 4.0 Pros Easy to build your workouts, easy to modify workouts, and generally very user friendly. Cons Doesn't allow you to upload custom videos directly from iPhone; it requires an additional piece of software for that, and their exercise library is small enough that this is a critical feature. This is a very user friendly app, which probably makes this extremely annoying step stand out all the more. When they fix that feature and allow videos to be uploaded in more formats that will take this app from good to AMAZING. For now it stands at "good." Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Easier to build workouts in Hevy than it was in trainerize. More user friendly. But Trainerize allows me to upload workout videos directly from my phone. Review Source Aries Y. Online Fitness Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great App for Coaches and Personal Use" August 6, 2025 5.0 I’ve been using the Hevy app for almost a month now, and so far it’s been doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate even for beginners. Assigning workouts to clients is simple and efficient, and I especially appreciate how easy it is to create and add custom exercises. As a coach, this saves me a lot of time and helps me stay organized. Overall, Hevy has been a solid tool in my coaching workflow, highly recommend it for both personal use and client management! Pros User-friendly interface – easy to navigate even for first-timers Custom exercise creation – perfect for personalized programming Easy client workout assignment – makes managing multiple clients simple Clean layout and design – minimal distractions, focused on training Progress tracking – helpful graphs and history to monitor performance Cons Some features might feel basic if you’re looking for in-depth analytics Limited integration with other fitness platforms or wearables Would love to see more automation or scheduling options for client workouts Review Source AL Amanda L. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good app for Personal Trainers" January 30, 2026 4.0 It's been a good experience for me and my clients. We're able to edit the exercises during the sessions. Pros I like that the clients can see their workouts, start the sessions, it it shows the overall time, and what were the previous weights used on the previous session Cons Unfortunately, the exercise library doesn't have a lot of the exercises I wanted so I had to customize and create a lot of them Review Source HH Hussein H. Calisthenics Trainer Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Platform for Coaching Various Sports" June 13, 2025 5.0 Currently I have multiple trainers who also enjoyed the app and gave me good feedback on its easy of use and the cool features it has. Keep it up Hevy Team! Pros The Platform is so cool and has all the features required to do the required coaching. The most feature I liked is that I can upload custom videos and attachments for a custom exercises that I create. Cons I didn't find any bad features or experience till now. Hope the team still add features and keep the prices as they are. Review Source JK Jacqueline K. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Organization Tool" June 19, 2025 5.0 Very helpful to manage multiple clients’ workout and individual progress. It gives the client the accountability and ownership of their health and fitness. Pros I like how easy it is to track individual progress of clients and tracking and updating their workout in real time. Cons I’d like there to be a section for nutrition. Also, the coach app could have the ability to see your library of workouts. Review Source SS Scott S. Strength Trainer Sports Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "See Results. Use HevyCoach." March 5, 2025 5.0 The HevyCoach app makes my role as a trainer a breeze. It’s so simple to use and has a TON of proven programs & exercises that I can use to fit my clients needs. The PR medals that it rewards at the end of a workout are little accomplishments for my clients to chase. It’s user-friendly and packed full of helpful statistics to ensure success. Pros I absolutely love the HevyCoach Program & Excercise Libraries. An insane value to offer clients! Cons My only wish was that Hevy got into nutrition tracking. Hevy does everything better than anyone and it would nice to have everything all in one place. Review Source NE Nick E. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Best coaching app!" February 12, 2025 5.0 I really enjoyed using this app. As an online coach, this app helped me a lot. I used to everything manually before via Google sheets, but this app made my life easier. I also use Hevy for my personal progress. I always recommend this to my fitness-driven friends and co-fitness coaches. Pros Very convenient for both clients & coaches. Cons No steps tracker, and doesn’t sync well in Hevy Coach app and client’s. Review Source TB Thierry B. Fitness coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Already better than more established players" December 13, 2024 4.0 I really like the app, I think it can still improve but the average competitor is impractical for my use case so I wish more people knew about the coach functionality of Hevy. Pros Building up on an already successful workout tracking app is great, it means Hevy Coach is a lot more straightforward and nicer to use than existing option right off the bat. Cons They still have some pieces of the full coach-client experience to work on like the exercise library, cardio tracking, maybe some payment functions and better communications etc. Review Source GR Gilian R.

My clients and me couldn’t be happier. 100% recommend it!! Pros How incredibly innovative and easy it is to use. It also has the best costumer support team.
