Hevy
Hevy suits lifters seeking an organized log, routine planning, progress records, and community accountability on phones, browsers, and supported watches. Its free tier works for a small routine collection, though regular trainers can reach the limits. Pro becomes relevant for unlimited routines, extended graph history, measurement tracking, or Hevy Trainer. Review the default public-profile choice if you prefer less sharing, and remember that API use is reserved for Pro accounts.
- Records sets, rest, notes, routines, and user-created exercises
- Apple Watch and Wear OS support includes offline workout recording
- Provides records, estimated one-rep max, volume, and exercise history
TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks suits endurance athletes who want a structured calendar and detailed load analysis, and coaches who need athlete-management tools. The free tier is a way to view the service, but serious planning, device workout sync, comparisons, and several analysis tools sit in Premium. Check your device path before paying, especially if your records live in Strava or you need a personal API project. The annual Premium option lowers the monthly equivalent, while coaching tiers add human contact and custom planning.
- Plans, records, and endurance analysis share one calendar.
- Garmin Connect activities can sync automatically.
- Premium includes planned-workout device sync and analysis tools.
Round by round
Price and free limits
Hevy has a free plan with up to four routines, seven custom exercises and three months of graph history. Hevy Pro costs $2.99 a month, $23.99 a year or $74.99 one time, with unlimited routines, custom exercises and graph history. TrainingPeaks Basic Athlete is free but limits workout viewing and uploads and has fewer features. Premium costs $11.25 a month when billed annually, or $19.95 monthly. The lower paid prices and broader stated free limits give Hevy the edge for someone watching subscription cost.

Workout and progress tools
Hevy centers on weight training, with workout logging, routine planning, warmup, drop and failure sets, rest timers, notes, custom exercises, personal records, estimated one-rep max, volume, muscle activity and body measurements. Its Pro tier adds Hevy Trainer and progressive-overload recommendations. TrainingPeaks centers on endurance, offering plans, structured workouts, lap and split analysis, Training Stress Score, Performance Management Charts and Peak Performance notifications. It also has more than 1,000 video-guided strength movements. Each covers its own training focus, so the facts do not separate them overall.
Ease of use
Hevy is described by independent reviewers as having a simple interface, quick program creation, straightforward client workflows and easy setup. Its routine builder can start from scratch or use body-part, beginner and equipment-specific plans. TrainingPeaks has an intuitive interface according to one G2 reviewer, and its dashboard brings performance data together while remaining advanced enough to teach users. Both offer planning and analysis, but the repeated praise for Hevy's simple setup supports Hevy for users who want a more direct starting point.

Supported platforms
Hevy lists Android, iOS, web and API access.

TrainingPeaks lists Android, iOS, web, Windows, macOS and API access.

Support and documentation
Hevy provides a searchable help centre covering setup, features, troubleshooting, integrations, imports, exports and subscriptions. Customer-service inquiries go to [email protected]. TrainingPeaks' Help Center covers athlete, coach, device-sync, billing, training-analysis and Virtual topics. It offers AI assistance and human ticket support targeted at one business day. Both document their products, but TrainingPeaks states a response target and offers two support paths, so it wins this round.

Privacy and data controls
Google Play reports that Hevy shares no data with third parties, encrypts data in transit and supports deletion requests. Hevy accounts are public by default, with private-profile and social controls, and its cookie policy describes access, correction, deletion, consent withdrawal, portability and objection rights for covered users. TrainingPeaks also reports no third-party sharing and encryption in transit, while identifying itself as the EEA and UK data controller and listing collection of training, health, device and location data. The facts show different controls and disclosures, not a clear overall winner.
API access
Hevy publishes an OpenAPI 3.0 REST API covering workouts, routines, exercise templates, folders, exercise history, body measurements and user information. Access is currently restricted to Hevy Pro users, and the documentation warns that the structure may change or be abandoned. TrainingPeaks' API can read profiles, zones, workouts, calendar events and metrics, and push planned events, completed files and metrics. However, access is limited to approved commercial fitness applications and devices, is not available for personal projects, and requests typically receive an answer in 7–10 days. Hevy is more usable for an eligible individual developer.
