“Let's start with data entry. The buttons are just where they need to be and big enough not to miss even with shaking legs — or hands. What's more, you typically only have to tap once to log a set; HeavySet's smart predictions have already accomplished the, umm, heavy lifting.”

Totally worth it if your serious about tracking and progressing in the long term.

If your into Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, or like to log training progress this is the app for you. Not to mention the fact that if you train you should be logging workouts anyways to maximise your gains and progress, this app is brilliant. It has a tone of functions and options you can change and set based on your individual goals. Plus it does all the calculations for you and shows your total Volume per muscle group, One rep Max and even calculates on Intensity percentages. This is not even scratching the surface on the amount of stuff in the app and I’ve only had it for a few days! It’s superb. No more logging workouts in notes haha. I don’t normally review or buy in app purchases but for the price and the lifetime access to all the umf this is totally worth the purchase. It’s a lifters wet dream when it comes to tracking and logging so if your reading this and your sick of not progressing or struggle tracking progress, you should definitely give the app a try as it’s free to use anyways. Thanks to the dev and all the hard work this guy has put into his app.
Fantastic stat tracking!

I loved this app once I started using it, being able to see my max weights for different rep ranges, across all exercises I was doing. It helped me push harder to do one more rep, or go that little bit heavier than my last gym session. What has impressed me most is the improvements that have come in releases. You can assign any exercise to (any number of) groups, allowing you to track progression even better. Keep up the good work, i’m very happy to have paid for a lifetime subscription. Next to protein powder and bro science, this is the best thing 4 dem gainz.
The best workout logger for IOS

Excellent overall, I literally tried every workout logger available & Heavyset won hands-down.There’s only two small issues that I have found (hence the 4 star rating instead of 5)...Firstly, one cannot rename exercise groups once created; if you want to rename a group you have to delete it & remake a new one (which is a little daft/inconvenient as; if doing this, you’d have to go through & re-ad all of your exercises to the new group once created).Secondly, there is no way to use the app for timed exercises instead of reps (i.e. say you wanted to do a set of 3 60 second planks). I work around this by logging the plank as a set of 3 reps so that I have a record of it in my workout routine; however, I toggle over the the developer’s other app ‘Seconds’ in which I have created a Plank timer (which is a solution that works very well, it must be said).Again though, overall this is an excellent app & beats all of the competition by a country mile; no silly subscriptions or unwanted workout recommendations/exercise changes, just a simple & intuitive workout logger (perfect but for the aforementioned minor points).Oh, I also think that Heavyset would benefit from a watch companion app; I could see people using their watch for exercise prompts & logging of the sets but then referring back to their phones for the more in-depth data & for workout/exercise creation etc.
Session Handling
Dielxb
I’ve been using this app for years, and it’s easily my favourite workout tracker. It’s clean, easy to use, and has everything I need to log my workouts. It’s one of the few fitness apps I’ve never felt the need to replace.The only issue I’ve noticed is that workout sessions can behave inconsistently. Sometimes, if I switch to another app during a workout, the app ends the session in the background and saves it before I’m finished. Other times, if I accidentally leave a workout open and don’t come back for days, the session is still running when I reopen the app.I’d love to see more consistent session handling because it would make the experience even better. Other than that, it’s a fantastic app that I highly recommend.
