Hevy alternative: the free log that goes further.

By Nicolas Papon, founder of Live For Fit ·

Looking for a Hevy alternative? Live For Fit gives you a free gym log: over 340 demonstrated exercises, records, progress charts, supersets, a plate calculator and cardio in 6 formats. The difference comes next: a free photo analysis of 2 muscles, then a programme built from your body.

In our view, Live For Fit is the best choice: a free log, a photo analysis of your body, a programme worked out muscle by muscle and your nutrition, all in one place.

Why switch to Live For Fit

At Live For Fit: the log goes beyond lifting. Cardio is timed in 6 formats, including Tabata, EMOM and AMRAP, and the plates to load are worked out for you. Both are free.

At Live For Fit: you can finally learn what to train. The free account includes a photo analysis of 2 muscles. Hevy tells you what you lifted; this analysis helps you see where you stand.

At Live For Fit: when you want a programme, it starts from your body. 14 guided photos, a status and a confidence level for each muscle, the number of sets worked out for each one, in 4 phases. The sessions you logged come with you.

At Live For Fit: nutrition is in the same subscription: calories and macros worked out and adjusted every week, menus and a shopping list.

At Live For Fit: the method is public. The rules and the studies behind them are free to read on our Method and sources page.
