Frequently asked questions
How do I track a workout?
Tap the "+" button to start a new workout, select your exercises, and log your sets. The app saves your progress automatically.
How do I log a workout with Siri?
Say "Log workout in Lift Heavy" to start. Siri will guide you through adding exercises, sets, reps, and weights. You can use natural language like "bench press 3 sets of 10 at 135 pounds."
Can I log workouts on Apple Watch?
Yes. Log a set right from your wrist, and hand off an active workout between iPhone and Watch in either direction. Structured blocks — EMOM, AMRAP, For Time, supersets, circuits — show and log right on the wrist, and timed-block pacing keeps running when the screen sleeps and picks up where it should when you come back.
Can I track CrossFit-style WODs and Hyrox workouts?
Yes. Lift Heavy supports AMRAPs, EMOMs, supersets, circuits, and pure-conditioning sessions alongside traditional strength training. The full eight-station HYROX race — including the 1 km runs — drops into any workout in one tap, ready to log. Browse the curated Plans library for Hyrox, CrossFit-style, and hybrid templates — or build your own from scratch.
Can I track my personal records?
Yes. The app automatically tracks your PRs for each exercise and highlights when you hit a new personal record during your workout.
Is my data synced across devices?
Your workout data is stored locally on your device. If you use iCloud Backup, your data will be included in your device backup.
How do I add custom exercises?
Navigate to the exercise library and tap "Add Custom Exercise". Enter the exercise name and select the muscle group to create your custom exercise.
How do I edit or delete a workout?
Swipe left on any workout in your history to reveal edit and delete options. You can modify sets, reps, and weights, or remove the entire workout.
Can I import workouts from other apps?
Yes. Lift Heavy supports importing workout data from Hevy, Strong, and FitNotes via CSV files. Go to Settings → Import Data to get started. Your history exports as CSV or JSON, too.
How do I create a workout plan or template?
Go to the Plans tab and tap the + button to create a new plan. Add exercises with target sets and reps. You can then start any workout quickly from your saved templates.
How many Capture scans and parses do I get for free?
Capture gives you 3 photo scans and 10 voice or text parses every month — two separate pools, so using one doesn't draw down the other. Upgrade to Pro in-app to remove both limits.
Is there a subscription fee?
Lift Heavy is free to download, and every analytic and tracking feature is free for everyone. The optional Pro subscription removes the Capture limits and removes ads from the free tier. Without Pro, a free account gets 3 photo scans and 10 voice or text parses each month, as two separate allowances. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
Will I see ads in the app?
The free tier shows ads served by Google AdMob. Pro subscribers do not see ads. Ads share only non-identifying data (device identifier, coarse location, ad interaction) and never your name, email, or workouts. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown, including how to opt out of personalized ads in iOS Settings.
