Hevy alternatives: when you want a plan, not just a logbook
Hevy is a gym workout logbook with a social side, very complete for logging sets, routines and progress. If you want the same but with a plan that generates and adjusts itself, the alternatives are Alpha Progression, Fitbod or EntrenAI; if you only want to log, Hevy or Strong are hard to beat.

It shows charts per exercise, personal records, a 1RM calculator, exercise videos and your full history, supports custom exercises and has a social side (follow others, like, comment and save their routines).
