The Best Hevy Alternative for Lifters (2026)

Q: Can I import my Hevy data into Lightweight?

Yes. Export your workout history from Hevy as a CSV and import it straight into Lightweight. The importer is built around Hevy's export format and maps your exercises, sets, weights and dates, so your history and personal records come with you.

Q: How is Lightweight different from Hevy?

Both are fast workout trackers with routines, charts and a social feed. Lightweight adds a layer Hevy doesn't have: a crowdsourced global gym map, a gym passport of every gym and country you've trained in, records that respect the gym and equipment you used, permanent ranks you earn by training, per-gym leaderboards, and optional WHOOP and Oura recovery context.

Lightweight vs Hevy, feature by feature

The core logging is a wash — both do it well. The difference is everything Lightweight builds on top, once your workouts know which gym they happened in.

Why lifters switch

Not more of the same logger — a different idea of what a training app is for.

Your gyms, on a globe

Every session is tied to the gym it happened in. Train somewhere new and it stamps your passport — a map of every gym and country you've lifted in, instead of a flat list of workouts.

Records that know the gym

A lucky machine number on hotel plates isn't a PR at your home gym. Lightweight keeps records honest by remembering the equipment and gym behind every lift.

Status you can't buy

Earn permanent ranks by actually training — with a transparent breakdown, no XP theatrics, and nothing to pay to skip. The one number in fitness that means you showed up.

See who lifts where

Per-gym leaderboards and opt-in "training now" presence turn your gym into a scene. Private by default — your precise location is never shown to other users.

Bring your Hevy history with you

Switching shouldn't cost you your logbook. Lightweight's importer is built around Hevy's CSV export, so your workouts, exercises and PRs come across in a couple of taps.

Export from Hevy

In Hevy, open Settings and export your workout history as a CSV file.

Import into Lightweight

Open Lightweight, choose Import, and pick the CSV. It maps your exercises to the catalogue automatically.

Pick up where you left off

Your history, streak and personal records are there — now tied to the gyms you trained at.
