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 track CrossFit-style WODs and Hyrox workouts?
Yes. Lift Heavy supports AMRAPs, EMOMs, supersets, circuits, and pure-conditioning sessions alongside traditional strength training. 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.
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 Snap to Log scans do I get for free?
Three per month, free. Photograph a notebook, whiteboard, or printed plan and the app parses it into sets. Upgrade to Pro in-app for unlimited scans.
Is there a subscription fee?
Lift Heavy is free to download. Every analytic and tracking feature is free. The optional Pro subscription unlocks unlimited Snap to Log scans (you get 3 free per month without it) and removes ads from the free tier. 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.
