LiftsmithSwitch from Hevy without losing your history
Years of logged sets shouldn't keep you in an app. Export a CSV from Hevy, import it into Liftsmith, and every workout, set and personal best comes with you. It takes a few minutes, and the file is read on your device, never uploaded.
How to move your workouts
- Open Hevy and go to its settings.
- Find the option to export your workouts. Hevy saves them as a CSV file.
- Save the file somewhere you can reach from the phone or computer you'll use for Liftsmith, like your files app, email or a cloud drive.
- Open Liftsmith (the app, or the web app in any browser) and go to Settings, then Data.
- Tap Import workouts (CSV) and pick the file.
- Check the exercise list. Liftsmith matches each of your exercises to one in its library; change any it got wrong, or keep it as your own exercise.
- Tap Import. Your workouts appear in your history, and your next plan starts from them.
What comes across
- ✓ Every workout with its date, title and length
- ✓ Every set's weight and reps, and timed sets such as planks
- ✓ Warm-up sets (kept as warm-ups, so they don't count toward your stats)
- ✓ Drop sets and supersets
Good to know
- Hevy's export says which unit the weights are in, so there's nothing to choose.
- Cardio rows and empty sets are left out, and Liftsmith tells you how many.
- Importing the same file twice adds nothing, so you can import again later to bring newer workouts across.
What changes after you switch
Your history isn't just kept, it's used. Liftsmith reads your imported sets to estimate your max on every lift, sets the weight for your next workout from them, and shows how many sets each muscle got recently on the recovery map. Instead of picking what to do each day, you open the app and the workout is already planned around your equipment, recovery and time.
