Heala vs Hevy

Hevy is one of the best pure lifting logs on either store, and it is free for most of what people use it for. This page is about what a log alone cannot do.

Hevy

• Very fast set logging
• Routines and history
• A social feed

Heala

• Set logging, or say it out loud
• A programme written from it
• Read against food and sleep
• Cardio, body and recovery

What Hevy does better

Speed in the gym. Logging a set is about as fast as it can be made, and that matters more than any feature list when you are between sets.

Its social side. Followers, shared routines and a feed of people you actually know lifting.

Its free tier is generous, and if a log is all you want you should probably keep using it.

What Heala does with the same sets

It writes next week from them. Completed sets and the loads you actually moved feed a programme that progresses, deloads and moves sessions rather than sitting there as a history.

It reads them against everything else. A session logged on four hours of sleep in a steep deficit means something different from the same session rested and fed, and only an app holding all three can tell.
