Comparison
FitFo vs Hevy
Hevy has the bigger community and the longer track record — if a social feed is the point, Hevy wins. FitFo differs in where workouts come from: you can share a TikTok or Instagram Reel into FitFo and get a structured, editable session back, instead of rebuilding it by hand. Both apps log sets and reps competently, and both have a free tier — the decision comes down to where your workouts come from.

Should you use FitFo or Hevy?
Use Hevy if you are lifters who want a free logger with a following and a feed. Use FitFo if you want free unlimited set logging with rest timers that size themselves per exercise, next-set suggestions from your last session, and the ability to turn a TikTok or Instagram Reel into an editable workout in about 30 seconds.
What is Hevy?
Hevy is a workout logging app built around a social feed. You create routines, log sets against them, and share completed workouts with people you follow. It has one of the largest active communities of any dedicated logger and a well-regarded free tier that covers ordinary logging without payment.
What Hevy does well
- Large, genuinely active social feed — the strongest community of any dedicated logger
- Clean routine builder with a well-tested logging flow
- Exercise library with video demonstrations
- Mature apps on both iOS and Android with a long release history
Where it falls short
- The free tier caps routine count, custom exercises, and how far back history goes — check current limits in-app, they change
- Every workout starts as something you build or copy by hand
- The social feed is central to the product; it is not a quiet logger

Which should you pick: FitFo or Hevy?
Pick Hevy for its core strength — large, genuinely active social feed — the strongest community of any dedicated logger. Pick FitFo if most of the workouts you actually want to run are ones you saved from social video, and you want them logged with automatic rest timing and progression tracking rather than retyped by hand.
Neither choice is permanent, and both apps are free to try. The one real cost of switching later is your training history, so whichever you pick, check that you can export it before you build a year of data inside it.
