Hevy is the free tracker to choose if you train in a gym and want to see your numbers climb. Its App Store listing describes it as free with no ads, and the free version covers the core job well: log weights, reps, duration and RPE, see last session's weights and reps next to every exercise, tag supersets, drop sets, warm-ups and failure sets, and let automatic rest timers run between sets. For structure, Hevy has a free library of full splits and single workouts, and you can follow friends and compare lifts in a social feed. Progress shows up as strength and PR graphs per exercise, alongside body weight, measurements and progress photos. The Apple Watch app logs sets and starts rest timers without your phone. Pro adds Hevy Trainer, which builds a program from your goal, experience and equipment, plus unlimited routines, custom exercises and your complete history. On the US App Store, Pro costs $23.99 a year or $74.99 once.
