Moving your workouts from Hevy

Hevy hands over your history as a CSV file, and I read it as is — nothing to fix by hand.

Step 1. Export a CSV from Hevy

1. In Hevy, open Profile and go to Settings.
2. Pick Export & Import Data → Export Data → Export Workouts.
3. Hevy builds a CSV file with all your workouts — save it or share it right away.

Log in pounds in Hevy? No problem: I recognize the weight_lbs column and convert it to your diary's units. Hevy marks warm-up sets itself, and I skip them.

Menu path per the Hevy help center as of October 2026; newer versions may name things differently.

Step 2. Load it into the bot

1. Open the bot and go to 🔧 Settings → 📥 Import CSV. While your diary is empty, the 📥 Import history from Hevy/Strong button sits right in the main menu.
2. Send the CSV file as a document — as is, no edits.
3. Check what I read and tap ✅ Upload all. Until then I log nothing.

Or load it into the iPhone app

1. In the app, open Settings → Import CSV and pick the file. From Hevy it's shorter: pick Athlete Diary in the Share window.
2. I show a preview: workouts, sets, units and the exercises I didn't recognize.
3. All good — run the import.

What I do with the file

• Split it into workouts by start time and title — two workouts on one day stay two.
• No doubling up. A workout that's already in your diary (same start minute, or the same exercises on the same day) gets skipped, and I tell you how many.
• Match the names against the catalog and your own exercises. Where I'm unsure, I ask where it goes and don't import until you pick.
• Explain what I skip. Warm-ups, cardio, timed exercises and sets with no weight on a loaded exercise don't go in — but I say how many and why, with examples.
• Carry notes over for exercises and for workouts.
• Let you undo it. Landed wrong? "↩️ Undo import" removes exactly what I loaded: workouts, sets, the exercises it created and the badges they unlocked. You can undo within 30 days.
