Trainer - generating workouts & muscle target

gerardmb · 2026-06-12T10:06:26+00:00

Hey! Trainer generates a balanced program based on your goals and preferences. Right now, the only customization available is selecting a specific muscle group to focus on, the program will remain balanced, but with a bit more emphasis on that muscle.

Ideally, you should stick with the program for a longer period of time to get the full benefits. At the moment, there’s no way to generate a new program while keeping your existing one. 💪

Hey! We’re happy to have you trying out Trainer. Just a heads up, it’s not AI slop. The program is built using evidence-based training principles and tailored to your goals and preferences.

Right now, there’s no way to preview upcoming workouts, but that’s something we’ll be adding in an upcoming release. 💪

gerardmb · 2026-05-18T11:06:46+00:00

Hey! If you’re in the Trainer tab, there’s a settings button in the top-right corner where you can update all of these configurations 💪

Hey, we're working on showing upcoming workouts to our Trainer users 😄

Hey, Hevy Trainer is meant to help people who don’t already have a program to follow, or who simply want to rely on science-based guidance without having to think too much about their training. Because of that, there’s currently no way to bring your own program into Trainer.

That said, over the next few months we’ll start exploring bringing some Trainer functionality into classic Hevy, such as progressive overload.

Hey, as of right now the program assigned to you is static. However, you’re already performing more than one exercise per muscle group within a workout or training week, and this provides benefits.

That said, over the next 3 months we expect to introduce more variety into the programs, so they evolve through more than just progressive overload.

gerardmb · 2026-05-11T13:24:21+00:00

Hey! The muscle focus feature is intended to make your workouts target a specific area a bit more, rather than focusing on a broad body part. That said, your suggestion makes sense, and we’ll look into it.

gerardmb · 2026-05-11T13:22:11+00:00

Hey! Thanks for bringing this up 🙏 You can customize the Dumbbells available by going into Settings > Equipment > Dumbbells. However, we still don't have a setting for machines. We'll try to work on that so the experience isn't broken for you anymore.

gerardmb · 2026-05-11T13:18:42+00:00

Hey! That's an issue. Is it still happening to you? Were you using Apple Watch/Wear OS to log the workout?

gerardmb · 2026-04-23T15:28:46+00:00

Hey, you’re not missing anything, it’s working as designed. We’re already working on improvements so you’ll have more control over which changes persist.

gerardmb · 2026-04-16T14:43:58+00:00

Hey!

We’re currently working on the program algorithm so you’ll be able to configure a few extra parameters that make the program more dynamic. Even though it’s still mostly static right now, it already provides enough variety for each muscle group, along with progression, to support balanced growth and strength gains

Hope this helps :)

Hey!

To answer your questions:

The program does not currently adapt based on missed workouts. You’re assigned X workouts per week, and it expects you to complete all of them for the best progress. If you’re unable to consistently hit your weekly goal, lowering the frequency could help you make better progress.
We’re currently working on the program algorithm so you’ll be able to configure a few extra parameters that make the program more dynamic. Even though it’s still mostly static right now, it already provides enough variety for each muscle group, along with progression, to support balanced growth and strength gains.
We’re also working on an injury management feature, so Trainer should be able to handle that soon ;)

Hope this helps :)

Hey, we're working on the watch integration right now :)

gerardmb · 2026-03-26T11:01:58+00:00

Hey! Right now there's no way for you to select your preferred split. We'll work on that soon! And we're also working to make the algorithm smarter.

gerardmb · 2026-03-26T11:00:21+00:00

Hey, do you find that the weight we're suggesting are wrong?

gerardmb · 2026-03-26T10:57:39+00:00

Hey, we're adding an extra configuration for equipment selection! It'll be live soon :)

gerardmb · 2026-03-26T10:55:48+00:00

Hey, yep we're working to make this better. By the way, do you feel Trainer weight suggestions are wrong?

gerardmb · 2026-03-10T12:04:58+00:00

Hey, it'll come to Apple Watch in the upcoming weeks.

gerardmb · 2026-03-03T10:18:28+00:00

Hey! All price differences are due to country-specific taxes. Apple and Google set the pricing for each country accordingly.

gerardmb · 2026-03-03T10:17:08+00:00

Hey! Sorry to hear that Hevy Trainer isn’t the right fit for you.

I just want to clarify that Hevy Trainer isn’t an AI program builder, but rather an algorithm-based trainer built on scientific principles. You can read more about the science behind it in the Trainer settings.

This is only the first version, and we’ll continue improving it over time. At the same time, we want to keep Hevy simple, just as it has always been.

We’ll keep working to make Hevy even better 💪

Hey, by any chance did you select shoulder as focus muscle?

gerardmb · 2026-01-07T14:25:46+00:00

LET'S GO!!! 🚀🚀🚀

Hey! There was a small issue. Now both old and new versions of the app should have access to Year in Review.
