Frequently asked questions

Is Hevy a free Fitbod replacement?

Hevy has free core logging, but adaptive Hevy Trainer is in Pro. A free tracker and paid session generation solve different jobs.

Are these independent hands-on test results?

No. This is Trainer's editorial comparison of documented features. Trainer claims are checked against the app implementation; other apps link to product pages or store listings. It does not claim measured speed, better results, or hands-on testing of every app.

How should I compare prices and free tiers?

Check the platform, region, renewal period, and feature you need at the official checkout. A free download or trial is not a permanent free tier. Unconfirmed prices are labeled check current pricing.
