The honest read

Where Hevy is great, and where it stops

Hevy is one of the best pure trackers on the market. Fast logging, clean UI, a social feed that keeps people accountable, a generous free tier with a reasonable paywall for power features. If logging is what you want, Hevy is a solid answer.

What Hevy does not do is write you a program. Every routine you follow is something you or someone else built manually, and your RPE, your missed reps, your fatigue markers do not feed back into next week's schedule. You are a data-entry operator for your own training.

Pelaris closes that loop. The tracker is still the tracker, but every set you log feeds the program you follow next week. Miss a rep target on bench, next session is calibrated down. Hit RPE 9 three days running, the following heavy squat day shifts to give you recovery. The tracking becomes useful in a way it was not before.

Switching from Hevy, answered

Is Pelaris a direct replacement for Hevy? +
For tracking, yes, Pelaris covers every logging feature Hevy offers and more. For social, no, we do not have a public feed or follower graph. If your favourite thing about Hevy is posting PRs for friends to see, Hevy is still the right choice. If your favourite thing is the actual logging experience, Pelaris matches it and adds program generation on top.
Can I import my Hevy workout history? +
Yes. Export your Hevy data as CSV and our importer handles it in one click. Every exercise, every set, every note maps over. You do not lose your history.
Why would I use Pelaris instead of Hevy + a separate programming app? +
You could. Many lifters run Hevy for tracking and something like Boostcamp or StrongLifts for programming. The issue is the two apps do not talk: the program does not see the RPE, the tracker does not see upcoming volume changes. Pelaris is one app where the tracking data drives the program you follow next week.
What does "free tracking" actually include? +
Every logging feature, forever. Sets, reps, weight, RPE, notes, PR badges, exercise history, export, body metrics. No session cap. No history paywall. The free tier on Pelaris is the whole tracker. Detailed breakdown here.
Is Pelaris coaching worth paying for? +
Depends on whether you want to follow a program someone else wrote, or have a program written for you that adapts to what you log. If you already follow a spreadsheet that works, stick with it and use Pelaris for free tracking. If you want a program that reads your fatigue and reshapes the week automatically, that is what the paid tier is.
