Comparison
GYMZO vs Hevy: which workout tracker fits how you train?
Short answer: pick GYMZO if you need a plan to travel from a coach to a member by code, if you train or coach in Arabic — or any of 36 languages with full right-to-left layout — or if your gym wants a free live screen on the wall. Both let you log every set for free.
The short version
- Pick GYMZO if you coach and want plans to hand over by code, you train in a language Hevy doesn't ship, or you run a gym and want a screen on the floor.
- Either works if you just want to log sets and reps and see your numbers go up — both do that well, and both do it free.

Where GYMZO is different
A plan can change hands
A coach builds a plan and shares a QR or 6-digit code; the member imports their own copy and owns it permanently. There's no coach seat to buy and no dashboard — the coach uses the same app. On Hevy, coaching runs through Hevy Coach, a separate paid product.
36 languages, Arabic-first, full RTL
Hevy's App Store listing shows 12 languages, and Arabic isn't among them. GYMZO ships in 36 with full right-to-left layout, and Arabic is the default rather than an afterthought — including exercise names reviewed by people who lift in that language.
A free screen for the gym
Any TV with a browser shows a room code; members pair from the app and their sessions appear live on the wall. It costs the gym nothing and needs no hardware or admin login. Hevy has no gym-facing display product.
An unlimited free plan builder
GYMZO's free tier doesn't cap how many plans you build, and ships a full set of ready-made ones. Hevy's free tier caps routines at four, which is where most people hit its upgrade prompt.
What both apps do well
- Unlimited free workout logging — neither app charges you to record a session.
- Fast, one-handed set entry built for actually being mid-workout.
- Your previous numbers visible while you're logging today's.
- Supersets, drop sets and the structures real programmes use.
- Large exercise libraries with demonstrations, and the ability to add your own.
- A monthly, yearly and lifetime option, with no ads in the paid tier.
If you're switching
There's no automatic import from Hevy into GYMZO. The realistic path is to rebuild your current routine in the plan builder — a few minutes once — and start logging forward from today.
A few weeks in, the history is your own again — and this time it sits behind a plan you can hand to anyone with a code.
