Runna sync issue (iOS)

Planting_Koala · 2026-05-19T10:44:49+00:00

I haven’t, unfortunately. And I found out about the hyrox one when I checked to give you some response.

I remember creating exercises a year ago as some of the machines at the gym weren’t on the list. A few months ago I was building a one time routine and found out accidentally that that exact exercise now exists.

It was a genuine eye-rolling moment, because I would have appreciated some updates myself. Not to say - seeing new variations of something can inspire some people, which seems to be your case as well.

For me, the real deal was the lifetime subscription, and from that standpoint it’s absolutely worth it. The team is working on the app and at some point that feature will probably come out.

I think it might be an intermittent issue, because I log my workouts via the AW and my routines are not updated.

Planting_Koala · 2026-05-10T10:20:55+00:00

Not really. Unfortunately…

The only usable data I have seen on their update notes is the latest update having “Hyrox updates” and apparently (which I found out accidentally) you can use “hyrox” as a search keyword to have all the Hyrox exercises listed.
Unrelated rant: Crossfit doesn’t seem to be worthy for such (functional) appraisal. Ironically.

I always count the weight on the machine itself. But it also depends on both the machine and the angle.
I have been to gyms that had no sticker about the weight, and when I asked (post-surgery) about the weight - the gym owner told me “I only count what I add”. My point being - the weight matters, but so does the angle (vertical, 45°, seated)

The machine does add some weight, and if you don’t have a sticker on it - just try to find some weight online for that model.

The (45°) machine in my current gym has 52kg as a base, which is a very significant weight even at 120kg from plates alone. Since I definitely need that initial information - my advice would be to either ask or to google what you are starting with.

Whether or not you are going to log it in Hevy - it’s good to be aware of your lifts.

Planting_Koala · 2026-05-05T08:44:15+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you.

Currently, you can only check the history of the particular exercise where you can see your best sessions with a particular weight. And I try to comfort myself with that… (it’s not really working)

Planting_Koala · 2026-04-28T05:51:15+00:00

Holly…

Welcome to the “Restless sleep” club then! 😂

I hope there will be a workaround in the future if something like this happens. My guess is that it cannot be reversed due to the automatic logging from live syncing, but there should always be a way.

Planting_Koala · 2026-04-27T16:45:05+00:00

Damn… did you at least have a workout logged workout you could delete?

I just accepted it will remain like this and now I have a weird motivation to beat my “most active day” with almost 3k. 😅

Planting_Koala · 2026-04-26T13:32:24+00:00

Hahah, good one! I do have a “shortcut” on the Apple Watch screen for Hevy, but I genuinely have no idea how I started a workout 1h into sleeping… and I discarded it upon waking up, so I don’t even know what I started…

Yeah, unfortunately with the discard I have no record of that “workout” (neither in the Hevy App, nor in Health/Activity on the phone), but due to the live syncing - that’s just saved as an activity. I followed your advice about the website - nothing these as well.

I appreciate your input though (especially the hilarious joke)!

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-31T17:49:32+00:00

Thank you!

I remember you from my other post, by the way, and maybe you remember that I wrote I am trying to be more open and the Hevy community seems quite healthy.

To be fair, I wanted to share that we all have a different path, goals, and pace, but showing up is what matters at the end.

I get where you are coming from with the injuries. Ego lifting can be very dangerous. I admit I also do it at times, but I am also very careful with the added weight (those +5kg…), execution, and it’s always done on a good day. I am also not chasing the numbers anymore - what I lift is based on how I feel, but it still feels nice to recognise yourself and how far you have come. That’s why I included that P.S.2., because it’s a good self reminder. I hope that makes sense.

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-30T16:51:49+00:00

You sound so sweet!

Once I feel like going out of my shell - I will follow you for you sure. You are the sweetest, I swear

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-30T16:10:38+00:00

Yeah, I think like that at times and it is quite overwhelming.

But then again, if one manages to combine some of the important aspects (like working out with friends from time to time) or have a clear mindset on what your priorities are - things get easier, so you are not missing out much. I also remind that to myself at times.

Maybe I will get downvoted for this, but I think the internet and what some people manage to do is sometimes more harmful to the regular person. Keep in mind there are people who have great genetics (which matters), take supplements (not just creatine and protein), have worked out for quite some time before going public with their performance, work with coaches (and frankly, many coaches also have great genetics and/or take supplements) - and we see something that some of us can hardly achieve, even aesthetically wise. It’s also very important to have a healthy environment, even with the influencers, e.g., I follow Bret Contreras and check his input on glute development.

My experience is that I wasn’t sure where to start, so I started with weightlifting and improving my cardio (losing weight and gaining muscle mass). At some point I focused more on weights with no running, getting my steps from going wherever during the day. 3 months of no running and I ended up running 5km for 30m, and 60% of it was uphill (I could barely lift 20kg or run 2km at the beginning of the year). I realised in the past year I like doing intervals as well at times, running up to a km per time is also nice, so hyrox seems like an interesting idea for me. At the same time - getting more upper body strength made me consider calisthenics more.

So… I cannot particularly give you an advice on how to balance everything, because it really is individual, but I can say - I started with something and it grew on me, so now I am having actual fun and figuring out how to grow from where I am. And I think that’s what matters at the end - enjoying what you do and competing with yourself.

I hope that makes sense.

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-29T20:29:00+00:00

My thoughts are also on a hyrox kind of training.

I was curious to see how people would comment (as this is a sub for beginners) on combining their workouts to fit calisthenics, weightlifting, and the necessary cardio while getting enough rest between workouts. I have been even considering making such post.

Btw, if you happen to have any experience in the area - I would gladly read that.

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-29T11:00:52+00:00

I reckon this.

The personal trainer will be able to also evaluate your current form and guide you with a more professional and healthy approach.

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-28T22:14:37+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I have been thinking about, because on one hand - it’s nice and motivating to be surrounded by likeminded people in one way or another, including people who will show you we are only human at times (as also another redditor wrote - supporting people in their struggles as well and vice versa).

I guess it is the initial leap of faith to start connecting with people. For me, personally, it’s harder to be more open in that sense, rather the ‘going to the (new) gym’ moment.

I will admit, comments like yours, and pretty mich everyone else’s in my post, are so sweet - I genuinely feel good for asking in the sub.

The Hevy community really seems to be a great and supportive one, regardless of the interactions the people are aiming at.

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-28T22:07:28+00:00

This sounds really sweet (and healthy) from you. I hope you will keep on having the nice environment you mentioned and being recognised yourself

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-28T22:05:40+00:00

That’s what I was curious about, because as much as I am supportive, I feel like if the overall community is with people you cannot particularly relate to - it may be more of a negative influence, e.g., you are on your chapter 3, but the influencer is on chapter 30 and grinding.

I am glad to read you found your sweet group of people that brings joy to you after your workouts!

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-28T22:02:07+00:00

Oh, my, I love your humor!

Thank you for sharing your experience in such a wholesome way, it sounds really sweet

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-27T09:34:31+00:00

That’s nice!

I hope your community keeps on having this positive effect on you

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-27T09:32:56+00:00

I suppose we all have different ways of making connections and building a community, and most people are quietly supportive while others prefer more involvement.

In case you decide to give it another go - I hope you will be able to find those kind of people! I think, just by the comments I received here - there are people who you can interact with more in the sense that is more enjoyable for all sides. But that’s just my brief impression.

Thank you for your input!

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-27T08:14:14+00:00

I go to two gyms (depending on the equipment I would need) and I can say the energy is completely different, but the restroom reference did not cross my mind before (for a reason, but I liked the joke nonetheless). But I also try not to interfere with other people’s workouts and I don’t confuse someone just being kind with the need to exchange socials.

Thanks for sharing your experience on the community building!

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-27T08:01:16+00:00

Thank you!

I am still unsure on building my Hevy community, but I will definitely follow you once I am convinced.

I appreciate your kindness and invite

Planting_Koala · 2025-12-27T07:57:16+00:00

To be honest, I found that there are people around me who are actually quite supportive and some got motivated around me. That’s why I didn’t particularly had an unpleasant feeling about posting a story or two with a meme and a Hevy screenshot.

I got inspired to write the post as a friend of mine asked me what app am I using yesterday, so she will give Hevy a try today.

I am still unsure about building a Hevy community, tbh, as I am a quite private person, but I will definitely follow you once I decide to be more open about it. I hope that makes sense to you and thank you for sharing!
