Hevy’s library has 400+ high-quality exercises. The built-in filters for equipment and muscle targets and the search bar help you find the most relevant ones and easily add them to routines (reusable workout templates) or live workouts.
Each exercise comes with essential details, including:
- A demonstrational animation
- In-depth data on your performance over time (heaviest weight lifted, projected 1RM, best set & session volume, and total reps)
- Performance history (your performance on that lift from workout to workout)
- Step-by-step instructions on proper setup and execution
The library offers a healthy balance of barbell, weight plate, dumbbell, kettlebell, gym machine, resistance band, suspension kit, and equipment-free exercises.
How to Access to Access the Exercise Library
You can access the Hevy exercise library in two ways:
1. When creating a routine, logging a session, or adding exercises to an empty workout, scroll to the bottom and tap the blue + Add Exercise button.
2. Outside these scenarios, navigate to the Profile tab and tap the Exercises button.
Create Custom Exercises
If you can’t find an exercise that you commonly use in the Hevy exercise library, you can create custom exercises. A free account can make up to 7 custom exercises and with a Pro subscription, you can make unlimited custom exercises.
Your custom exercise can include the following details:
- Image/Video
- Name
- Required equipment (if any)
- Primary muscle target
- Secondary muscle targets
- Exercise type (such as weight & reps, bodyweight reps, or duration)
You can also select any existing exercise from the library and duplicate it to turn it into a custom exercise. Tap the three dots on the top right and select Duplicate Exercise. Tweak the name, change the asset (you can add a photo, video, or GIF), and adjust any of the other details if necessary.
Important note: once a custom exercise has been saved (including duplicated exercises) you can edit the details from the app (but not from the website) however, you cannot edit the type of exercise.
