The Hevy alternative with nutrition tracking

Hevy is a genuinely good workout tracker. Fast logging, fast generation, and unlimited logging even when it's still free. Gives you three months of history and comes with a social feed. Hevy's training-in-public features make it stand out from simpler, more bare-bones alternatives like MyFitnessPal (for nutrition).

And it works on both iOS and Google Play.

HOWEVER, it's just workouts. It stays pretty simple without offering progression (except with Hevy Trainer, which is more expensive), and has no particularly useful feature that advances your training alongside your nutrition, which leaves half the work of achieving a great body out of scope.

APEX does both: it offers a well-designed nutrition system that works alongside your training + adapts as you make progress.

Yes, if you get their Pro plan (Hevy Trainer launched in February 2026). It builds programs and comes with an automatic progression system that raises weights session to session. APEX also does it. But there's a slight difference.

Hevy just reads logged sets. It doesn't read your readiness history, your previous progress check-ins, or your current nutrition plan.

There's no chance you can adapt your training to your actual diet or vice versa, making it a solution for only HALF the problem.

And if you're here, you should know: there's no way you can build your body into the next level without nailing BOTH: your workouts and what you eat. Hevy only does one of these. But APEX does both.

It's the closest thing to Hevy with a diet coach you can find, and for a very modest cost it takes the lead when it comes to ACTUALLY achieving your fitness goals.

This is not just marketing talk. The evidence says it again and again. You cannot achieve the body of your dreams by just working out hard. Diet is just as essential, if not more important.

APEX is simply the best Hevy alternative with nutrition tracking. It places a food log and a training log side by side, so you can make the best decisions accordingly.

Just think about this:

You realize having an assistant to analyze your nutrition alongside your training is not a mere marketing ploy. It's actually the way to do it.

Hevy, instead, only tracks your burned calories from workouts. That's it.

But we all know that's not enough. True fitness improvement requires WAY MORE than just how many calories you burn from training. It requires an actual assessment of your daily expenditure, your actual food intake, and whether both training and diet are actually working for you... or against you.

Workout trackers are ASSUMING you are eating right. They have no idea what you put in your mouth.

Most just tell you what to do at the gym, sometimes without even surfacing the fact that you should eat a good pre-workout meal to fuel it.

APEX fixes that. And not only in a superficial way. It truly goes all the way into the most technical parts, checking even how you feel and how you ACTUALLY look, to make sure both your training and nutrition are working to your advantage.

While Hevy and other simple workout trackers just tell you what exercises to do, APEX goes the extra mile to tell you HOW and WHY to progress based on your training and nutrition, together.

This is what a Hevy for nutrition tries to fix. A workout plan that does indeed help you train better, gives you recommendations and pushes you harder. But it also knows how your nutrition is going, so whenever something's off, you can more easily diagnose what's happening.

Similarly, once things start working out well, you will have a much better idea of what actually works. No guessing what food goes better with what training, you'll find out over time.

Your training history is the most valuable thing in your Hevy account. APEX reads it and writes it to your history, so your progress moves with you.

Routines do not transfer automatically, but you can use the routine generator via text or files (PDFs, JSON, etc.) to create routines exactly like the ones you were using.

One kind of lifter shouldn't switch, and it's better to say so here than have you find out after an export.

For everything else, including wanting to make ACTUAL progress with your physique or overall fitness, then you should switch to APEX.
