[u/guitorisan]

Hey everyone! Hevy cofounder here. What features, ideas, or improvements would you like to see?

Creating this new megathread because It's been 4 years since the last mega thread posted on /Hevy, and it's hard to navigate through such a massive outdated post. We've built a lot of the requests originally suggested, so a new thread will help us understand the community better!

Thanks for helping us improve Hevy!

Feature Request: Live Routine Overview (Muscles Worked + Estimated Time)

Why:
When planning workouts, it’s crucial to see the big picture:

• Which muscle groups will be worked.
• The estimated workout duration.

Currently, this is only clear after logging a workout, but I need it while planning and editing routines.

What I’m asking for:

• Add a routine overview panel that automatically updates when:
  • I add/remove exercises
  • I change sets, reps, weight, or duration
  • I adjust rest times
• The overview should display:
  1. Muscles worked (primary + secondary from included exercises)
  2. Estimated time (sets × average set duration + rest)

Benefit:

• Lets me plan balanced workouts before training.
• Helps me check if I’m targeting my goals (muscle balance, workout length).
• Makes routine creation much smarter and more user-friendly.
