Hevy vs iFit

Hevy is a workout tracking app for logging strength training sessions, building custom routines, and monitoring progress over time through charts, personal records, and estimated one-rep max calculations.

Users can track performance metrics, follow adaptive training plans, and stream sessions on phones, tablets, smart TVs or directly on connected treadmills and bikes. The platform offers a free trial and a subscription model that unlocks the full catalog and personalized coaching.
