Hevy Alternative

You already track the gym. Now eat to match.

Hevy is a great workout logger. But it doesn't know what you ate, and your macro app doesn't know what you lifted. Coachly is one iOS app that does both — and an AI coach that reads them together so your calorie target moves with your training.

Where the integration actually helps

A workout app that doesn't know your nutrition is a logger. Here's what changes when one app sees both sides.

Calories follow your training

You PR your squat. You hit 18,000 steps. Your weekly volume is up. Hevy logs it; your macro app doesn't see it. Coachly bumps the calorie target for the week — because the same coach is watching both. Hard day, more fuel. Rest day, tighter.

Deloads when sleep tanks

Coachly reads sleep, HRV, and recent training load from your Apple Watch and softens next week's intensity automatically. A workout-only app pushes the next progression regardless. The result for most lifters: fewer plateaus, fewer "why am I going backwards" weeks.

One subscription, not two

Hevy Pro plus your nutrition app (MyFitnessPal Premium, MacroFactor, Cronometer Gold) typically runs £100-150/yr combined. Coachly Pro is £99.99/yr for the integrated experience. The math gets easier when you stop running two apps.

AI coach that knows your week

Ask the coach "should I push today?" and it answers based on your actual sleep, your recent volume, and yesterday's macros — not a generic LLM with no context. Refuses medical advice by design; references your week when you ask.

Common questions about switching from Hevy

Will I lose my Hevy workout history? Apple Health imports your Hevy workouts automatically (Hevy writes sessions to HealthKit when you grant access). Your Apple Watch sessions, weight history, steps, sleep, and heart rate all flow into Coachly. Full set-by-set CSV import from Hevy directly is on the roadmap.
Does Coachly support the lifts and programmes I run in Hevy? Yes — every standard barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, and bodyweight exercise. Choose your goal (Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance, Fat Loss) during onboarding and Coachly generates an 8-week mesocycle with structured volume and intensity. You can also build custom routines.
What about the Hevy community and shared routines? Hevy's social feed and public routine browser are unique strengths. Coachly is more focused on the integrated coaching experience — adaptive programmes generated for you, weekly check-ins with the AI coach, and macros that move with training. If community-shared routines are central to how you use Hevy, that's a real consideration.
Is Coachly cheaper than Hevy? Not for Hevy alone — Hevy has a free tier. The fair comparison is Hevy + your nutrition app (typically £100-150/yr combined) vs Coachly's £99.99/yr for the integrated app. Coachly comes out cheaper than most two-app stacks.
What if Coachly isn't for me? 14-day free trial, then £12.99/month or £99.99/year. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions before day 14 ends, no charge.
Who builds Coachly? An indie team (Coachly App Ltd, registered in Scotland, SC887439). No VC, no growth-hacker advisors. Data is hosted in the EU and scoped to your account with row-level security. Never sold. Never used to train AI.
