" 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 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 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 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 TM Tayah M. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streamlined program delivery for solo PTs" June 16, 2026 5.0 As a solo personal trainer running my own business, Hevy Coach has made program delivery and client tracking genuinely easy. It bridges the gap between writing programs and having clients actually follow them, which is something a lot of platforms get wrong. Highly recommend it for any PT looking for a simple, effective coaching tool. Pros Hevy Coach is a great tool for managing client programs as a personal trainer. Being able to build and send programs directly through the app makes the whole process so much more streamlined. Clients can log their sessions and I can see their progress in real time, which saves a lot of back-and-forth. There's also a built-in chat feature so I can communicate with clients directly through the app, which keeps everything in one place. The exercise library is solid and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. Clients pick it up quickly with minimal explanation needed. Cons The only thing I'd love to see added eventually is more branding customisation options, but it's a minor wish rather than a real issue — the platform genuinely does what it promises and does it well. Review Source AM Adrian M. Dr AdrianMendez Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent app" June 15, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Hevy Coach has been excellent. It has become one of my primary tools for delivering exercise programs to patients and athletes. The platform is reliable, user-friendly, and continuously helps improve communication, adherence, and training organization. It provides a professional experience for both coaches and clients while saving time and simplifying program management. I highly recommend it to fitness professionals, personal trainers, and healthcare providers involved in exercise prescription and rehabilitation. Pros Hevy Coach has been an outstanding platform for managing my clients' training programs. The interface is intuitive, easy to use, and allows me to create highly personalized workout plans efficiently. I especially appreciate the ability to track progress, monitor adherence, and make adjustments in real time. The visual presentation of workouts is excellent and makes it easy for clients to understand and follow their programs. Overall, it has significantly improved my workflow as a Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician and coach. Cons There are very few things I dislike about Hevy Coach. If I had to mention something, I would appreciate more advanced customization options for rehabilitation-focused programs, including exercise progressions, mobility protocols, and clinical outcome tracking. Additional reporting features and integrations with wearable devices could make the platform even more powerful for healthcare professionals. 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 JL Jack L. Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Client interaction is so clean!" June 3, 2026 5.0 Will definitely continue as having an easy way to interact with the work you put in the background matters so much. Pros The cleanest way I have come across for my clients to view and follow their training programs. I was tired of watching my athletes try and use spreadsheets on their phones mid workout. Cons A way to program overload into the pre filled sections. A work around was to just write it into the notes along with the sets/reps. Review Source KS Kevin S. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent easy to use app. " June 16, 2026 5.0 Loading on programmes for clients has been nice and straightforward, as has assigning them to them. One of the biggest bonuses is how easy the app is to use for clients, which makes them much more likely to use it. Pros The ease of creating workouts is a major bonus, and the exercise videos and description is great for clients. Cons No negatives to write about so far. But I’ve only been using it for one month. If anything comes up I’ll update this review accordingly. Review Source R. Ric .. CPT Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app so far" June 19, 2026 5.0 Pros Value for the money. I'm still fairly new to it but I love the exercise library. I also like that I was able to integrate my routines from the workout app. Cons Haven't found one yet. I would like to be able to edit my clients profile, like add their name if they don't put one. Review Source PK Parmjit K. Personal trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app for Personal trainers and clients! " May 10, 2025 5.0 Fantastic! So far so good. Easy to use, set individual programs and track client progress too! Also like that you can make adjustments when needed during the workouts too! Pros So far this app has been amazing. My clients have transitioned over have loved it too and have found it easy to use. Cons It can have more exercises in the library. Alternatives considered [Everfit](https://www.capterra.com/p/202837/Everfit/) Reason for choosing Hevy Coach Better price and seemed a better product Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Still have this for my online clients but it's too expensive for just PT clients and not PT and nutrition. 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 CM Craig M. Owner, trainer, nutritionist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software. Very, very happy " November 3, 2024 5.0 Very, very happy love the simplicity and ease of use. Programs are now so easy to create and assign. Myself and my clients are very happy Pros Ease of use and program writing has become so simple. Clients and myself are extremely happy since I moved over to hevy Cons For example if you do a 1 arm row for two sets you have to set up 4 sets and track each side and if you have superset on it sends you to the next exercise and you still have another side to do of a unilateral exercise. Maybe an idea for all unilateral exercise would be to break the set up no matter how many sets your doing into a 1L,1R…..2L, 2R ect. 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 DI Dan I. Online Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The best coaching app I've used (and I've used a few!)" February 13, 2024 5.0 I've used a few different softwares in the past to coach and there's always been something missing from each option. When HevyCoach released, it was the first time that EVERYTHING I wanted from a coaching app was in one place. Pros There's so much more data that I can use to track client progress. The ability to write up client workouts so that all they have to do is hit "start routine" is such a time saver on their side! It's just super easy to use and intuitive. I was using the normal Hevy app previously and as soon as HevyCoach was released, all my clients were moved to this within days. Cons I'd like there to be an ability to set client workouts in a calendar for an easier view of how the plan runs and how far they are along their plan. This would also mean that I could change their plan from week to week if i wanted to. Switched from [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) Faster feature implementation, the ability to be tracking metrics. TrueCoach was just plain text boxes and tracking metrics was clunky and impractical. 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 DA Dario A. Personal Trainer Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use coaching software " March 3, 2026 5.0 So far my experience with Hevy coach has been positive and my clients have been enjoying the switch! Pros Hevy coach gives both coach’s and clients a easy to use solution solution to coaching both in person and online, the interface is easy to use and covers the main basis of assigning programs, logging body weight/ other measurements and tracking progress clients get a video demonstration of the exercise to give them a quick reminder of form Cons The aspects I would say Hevy coach would need to improve on is being able to log nutritional data for your clients as well as a bette way to track/ Add cardiovascular fitness workouts e.g. Running, swimming etc Review Source DS Drake S. entrepreneur Sports Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great but rpe needs revamp for powerlifters" March 4, 2026 5.0 Overall pretty good and just wanting rpe changed but I also understand powerlifting is more of a niche and not a summary people use it. Pros It’s very user friendly for me and my clients. It’s very simple and you can out in your own exercises so you can always get the point across Cons Can’t put an RPE under 6. As a powerlifting coach in earlier weeks on compounds we often have light rpe for form and technique work so being able to out RPE under 6 would be very useful. Review Source BP Ben P. Personal Trainer Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hevy Coach - Great Workout Tracker " April 30, 2025 4.0 I enjoy the app and so do my clients, for my in gym clients it works great and online is good too but it would be great if in the future everything could all be done within the app for the client such as nutrition, check ins… But overall a great in gym use app Pros Great practical workout planner and client integration and customisation options, having used the Hevy app for my own personal workouts was very happy with the integration. The way the app tracks and encourages progression has really helped motivate clients Cons The App is still growing with a lot of room for improvement and extra features to become a fully coaching tool 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.

There are many exercises to use, with great descriptions and videos. Love both apps Hevy coach and Hevy for my clients.

Pros The format for allowing athletes to see exactly what they are doing and how best to do that. Cons That my athletes are not able to see what the other group members are doing.

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.

My clients feel even more supported/excited to hit the gym and share their progress!! Simply an amazing app all around!! Cons No cons here. It gives exactly what it promises.
