Hey All👋 r/Hevy
First of all, amazing app. I recently switched to Hevy and it completely solved one of my biggest issues tracking sets, reps, and progressive overload properly. Really love the simplicity and focus.
I wanted to highlight a UX gap I noticed while using routines:
🔁 Routine Sync Issue
If I add the same exercise (e.g., Push-ups) in multiple routines (like Chest day and Shoulder day), the data doesn’t feel “connected” at the routine level.
Yes, the exercise history exists, but:
- It doesn’t automatically reflect across routines in a seamless way
- I still have to manually check previous performance
👉 A more unified “exercise intelligence layer” across routines would be a huge upgrade.
For example:
- Auto-suggest last performance regardless of routine
- Smarter linking of exercises across plans
- Clear visibility of progression independent of routine structure
🎯 Apple Watch UX Appreciation + Opportunity
I recently tried another app called Bevel.
Honestly:
- Mobile UX felt average
- But their Apple Watch UI & UX experience was 🔥
Things they nailed:
- Left → Right swipe = Pause/Stop
- Right → Left swipe = Music controls
👉 Extremely intuitive and fast during workouts
