How to export from Hevy
- Open Hevy and go to your profile, then tap the settings gear.
- Choose "Export & Import Data".
- Export your workout data. Hevy hands the file to your share sheet or emails it to you.
- Save the CSV somewhere you can reach it from this device, then upload it here.
- Measurements are a separate export from workouts in Hevy, so grab both if you track them.
- The file names its weight column after your unit setting. Either one imports correctly.
What comes across
• Every logged session with its date, name and notes
• Every set: weight, reps, RPE, distance and duration
• Warm-up, drop and failure sets, kept as the set type you logged
• Superset grouping
What your export cannot carry
• Hevy timestamps carry no timezone, so times are read as local wall-clock at the moment you logged them.
• Body measurements live in a second export file. Upload that one separately.
Every one of these is a property of the export file itself, not a guess. Anything the file does not contain is reported to you in the preview rather than filled in.
What imported data counts for
Your history, personal records, charts and analytics come with you. Ranks, XP and achievements are earned here, so imported sessions never move them.
That line is the whole deal, and it is deliberate. A rank anyone can produce with a spreadsheet is worth nothing, so ranks, XP, achievements, streaks and leaderboards are driven only by what you log here. Everything that describes your training rather than scoring it, which is your history, your personal records, your charts and your analytics, uses your imported data from day one.
How the import works
Upload a CSV file and nothing is written yet. You get a preview first: how many rows of each kind, the date range they cover, which names matched automatically, and which need a decision from you.
When you approve it, the rows are written and stamped as part of that import. If a day already has an entry you made yourself, your own entry wins and the imported row is skipped, and the skip is counted and shown rather than quietly dropped.
Changed your mind? One button removes every row that import created and leaves everything else alone. You can upload the same file again months later too. Rows that already exist are skipped instead of duplicated, so you only ever gain what is new.
Your file, and how long we keep it
The uploaded file is stored privately for a short retention window so an import can be retried, then deleted. Undo keeps working after that, because it is keyed to the import rather than the file. Your account holds the data, and you can export it or delete your account at any time.
Frequently asked
- Where does the export live in Hevy?
- Under your profile, in Settings, as "Export & Import Data". Workouts and measurements are two separate exports there.
- Will my Hevy exercise names match up?
- Most of them match automatically. Anything ambiguous is shown to you before a single row is written, and you decide what it maps to or leave it out.
- Can I undo an import?
- Yes. Every row an import writes is stamped with that import, so one button removes all of it and leaves anything you logged yourself untouched. You can also upload the same file again later. Rows that already exist are skipped rather than duplicated.
