The Best App to Help Your Clients Succeed

Simple Workout Logging

Clients can easily see and log the workouts you assign.

In-Depth Performance Insight

Clients can see their full performance history.

Fitness Community Engagement

Clients can engage with the Hevy community.

Workout Logging Made Simple

Your clients will enjoy an intuitive workout logger and stay on track without spending more than a few minutes on their phones.
Each assigned workout comes with all the details the client needs: what exercises to do, how many sets, how much weight, how many reps, how long to rest, and even what RPE to target.
Your client’s job is to log each set and tap Finish on the top right when done.

Analyzing Progress: Never Been Easier

Your clients can access progress charts, their best performances, and a complete training history.
Clients can click on the Calendar in their profile to see how often they work out monthly.
Your clients can examine their performance on individual movements in the Exercises tab and see how well they are doing and what their personal bests are.

Community Engagement for Support

The Hevy app is home to more than 5 million athletes worldwide. Your clients will gain instant access to this active and engaged community as soon as they register.
Hevy users can follow others, build a following, and show support by commenting on and liking other people’s workouts.
Of course, those only interested in progress tracking and workout logging can keep their profiles private, meaning only you, their coach, see their progress and updates.

No Phone? No Problem.

But Wait - There’s Also Desktop View

In addition to logging workouts on the phone or through a smartwatch, your clients will enjoy a full desktop view of their workouts.
To do so, they must go to the web at hevy.com and log into their profile. There, your clients can review their workouts, create routines, edit their profile settings, review their performance, and see recent updates from people they follow.

Clients Can Reach Out at Any Time

Once you start working with a client, they will get a dedicated Coach tab in the app. There, they can click the chat icon and reach out with questions, concerns, or feedback.
Any message clients send will show up on the Hevy Coach platform under Chat on the left-hand side menu.
You can also exchange images and video files with the clients. For example, a client can film some of their training and send it over for review, and you can film a video with instructions or feedback.

You Get Access to All the Data

One huge benefit for your clients is they don’t have to do anything special or spend extra time sending over spreadsheets.
Anything they log into the personal training client app, be it a measurement (like body circumferences), body weight, or a workout, will automatically show up under Latest Activities in your dashboard.
Click on any client update for more information, and open the chat to show your support, ask questions, or provide feedback.

"I've been using Hevy Coach with my clients for over a year now and they are constantly adding new features, improving the already incredible user experience and being super responsive. My clients literally love using the app, from simple tracking and social sharing to more advanced features like 1RM predictions and workout muscle usage charts. Its easy to send out invites to clients and assign workouts from existing programmes or write new ones specifically."

Maximizing Efficiency and Results

Embrace Automation For Your Clients

The beauty of coaching clients through our personal trainer software is that workout and performance logging is a breeze. This means clients are more likely to log their sessions and performance, allowing you to make better coaching decisions based on more data.

Clients can log workouts as they go along without spending too much time on the phone, and anything they save to their profile (be it a workout, sports session, or body metric) becomes available for you to review through Hevy Coach.

Track Progress and Organize Your Clients

Coaching clients across multiple platforms often makes your job more difficult and time-consuming. It also impacts your ability to track clients effectively and may cause you to miss out on essential client updates or messages.

With Hevy Coach and the personal training client app, all the data is organized in one place and available for you to review by visiting individual clients’ profiles.

With a couple of clicks, you can see a client’s latest activities and examine their performance, consistency, and body metrics (including progress photos). This makes progress tracking a breeze and eliminates the need for spreadsheets.

Eliminate Guesswork With Detailed Instructions

Hevy Coach allows you to provide detailed workout plans to clients with all the information they need: movements, number of sets, rep targets, weight, rest periods, and RPE.

You can also leave custom notes on individual workouts and exercises––for example, remind a client to do a lighter session or pause briefly at the bottom of a squat.

All the information you add when using the workout builder shows up in the client app when you assign a program to someone.

Any questions about the client app?

How do I assign workout plans to my clients, and how can they access them?

To assign a workout plan to a client, navigate to the Program Library tab in the menu on the left, click on a plan, and select Assign Program on the top right.

You can select the client (or clients) from the list and assign the plan. So long as they have internet access, the plan will appear in the Coach tab inside the app.

Can my clients log their workouts without using their phones?

The Hevy app works on Apple Watch and Wear OS, which means clients can log workouts even if they leave the phone in the locker room or at home.

What kind of performance insights does Hevy provide?

As a coach, you get access to exercise statistics (individual performance on specific movements over time) and advanced statistics that provide a breakdown of the client’s training––time spent training, sets per muscle group, and total training volume.

Can I communicate directly with my clients?

Hevy Coach’s built-in chat allows you to communicate with clients. Messages you send appear in the app, and clients receive a notification, allowing for quick and efficient discussions.

You can also enable browser and email notifications to see new messages immediately without checking Hevy Coach every five minutes.

How do clients log their workouts in Hevy?

Clients must navigate to the Coach tab inside Hevy to see their assigned workouts. They must then click Start Routine on the workout they want to do. The timer will start automatically, and clients will be able to log sets and exercises as they go through the session.

Once finished, clients can click the Finish button at the top right to save their session. It will automatically show up in your activity feed on Hevy Coach.

What happens if my client forgets to log a workout?

The best course of action is to ask your client to log the session from memory. They can change the date and time before saving the workout in the client app.

Can my clients use Hevy without internet access?

So long as the latest version of the program is saved in the app, clients can log individual workouts without internet access. Once they are back online, any saved workouts will sync to their profile automatically.
