  • Great

    I have been using heavy set for 10 months now and it’s great. Easy to use and quick so it’s not a distraction at the gym. I only have one suggestion for the developers, I wish the rest clock would show up on the lock screen. So that when you are resting you can look quickly without unlocking your phone for access. Other than that, Perfect!

  • Does the thinking for me!

    I’ve been using this app for over a year now and I just love it! It stores all my data for me. I’m constantly traveling and it easily switches between kg/lbs as international gyms usually have a mix of the two. It gives me a countdown when my rest time is coming to an end. It shows my progress be week/month. I’ve compared with several different apps but HeavySet always has more features and it’s user-friendly. Big fan! Thanks!

  • Perfect for lifting. Don’t need anything else.

    Took a bit to get used to the user interface - swiping is your friend, swipe everywhere! - but otherwise perfect.

    Muscle groups makes tracking volume much better, intensity is helpful (eg you can set a 1rm max and then train based on % of it), can create your own exercises and add them to volume groups, tons of great stuff in here!

  • Well worth the purchase!

    I hesitated dropping $10 on this app but it was worth it. This app is a game changer for me. It has helped me add solidity, structure, and organization to my gym routine. It took me a little bit to figure out how the app worked but they have help vids that explain everything. The only thing I wished the app has was exercises without a rep count. For instance: plank 0:30+.

    Other than that, well worth the purchase. Get it now.

  • Indispensable

    Perfect companion to my “old fashioned” paper log that I use for my gym workouts. I really enjoy the charting, rep tracking, and it’s *simplicity*. This is an app that does not try to trap you in its own ecosystem. It has a handy import and export, connection to Apple heath and a clean interface. The only drawback I can think of is that I have a hard time tracking exercise times since I enter my workouts after my session.

  • Really well made, everything I need

    I downloaded and tried most of what looked like the best apps out there but I have used this one now on an almost daily basis for a year or so.

    There are a small collection of apps on my phone that feel almost perfect and this is one of them. The timer, the supersets, the organization, the plate calculator and stats, so much packed in without feeling overwhelming while being intuitive and practical.

    I recommend it as often as I can and enjoy it as an essential companion at the gym. I gladly paid for it as it was well worth the money.

  • Recent issues

    App works well as for logging workouts. Occasionally has some clunky UI to view certain history of workouts. I paid to upgrade and was happy that I did. Before recent issues I would have given it 4 stars. I have since switched apps as this one was having issues that was keeping it open in the background with major battery drain on my iPhone XS. 50%+ of battery life in 1-2 hrs if I didn’t make sure to force close it after my workout. If these issues are addressed I will use the app again.

  • Perfect

    I’ve used several other lifting apps, this one is by far the best in my opinion. Great for someone who does their own workout routines and tracks their progress regularly. Takes all the thinking out of the workout so that the only thing you have to focus on is the workout itself. Does all the math, keeps track of rest, previous workout weight/sets/reps for each exercise, etc. Really a great app.

    100% worth the fee for the paid version.

  • Excellent

    Lots of options to actually build your own programs that can be organized into folders and sub folders so that you can simply open one and the app will effectively step you through the session. These can be percentage dependent based on a training max that can be set manually or even updated automatically based on new rep records and e1RMs, all of which are tracked and logged in the history. You can create your own exercises and assign body parts to them so that you can track volume by body part, by session, by exercise, and by week. Nice graphs put this into a visual over time, and you can choose to track it by tonnage, reps, sets, etc. Of all the training apps I’ve tried, this one is easily my favorite mainly because of the flexibility it has to create your own routines. Hard to ask for anything better than this one. Seriously give it a try.

  • Great for intermediate and above lifters

    I’m pretty sure this is the only app that has RPE, automatic weight calculator based on intensity, automatic training max calculator, timer, tempo timer, all in one app. It even allows you to have multiple sets of the same workout at different intensities. There is no other app that does all of this, making it the best choice for all intermediate and above lifters who need these tools. There is a learning curve, and setting up your routine for the first time took a while, but it’s so worth it. It even allowed me to import my old data from the strong app. Definitely recommend this to anyone who’s workout complexity is high
