Is Hevy's data export free?

Yes. Exporting is available on free and Hevy Pro accounts alike, on iOS and Android.

What does the superset_id column mean?

Sets that share the same superset_id number inside one workout were performed together as a superset. Rows with an empty superset_id were straight sets.

What are the set_type values in a Hevy export?

normal, warmup, dropset, and failure. Every logged set carries one of these labels, which is more set-level detail than Strong's export includes.

What date format does the Hevy CSV use?

Quoted timestamps like "15 Jul 2026, 09:52", with a comma inside the quotes. Spreadsheets handle this fine, but a naive comma-split parser will break on it.

Does measurement_data.csv include body fat?

Yes. It is one row per day with columns for weight_lbs, fat_percent, and per-site tape measurements including waist_in and abdomen_in.

Does the export include my saved routines?

No. workout_data.csv contains logged workouts only. Routine templates are not part of the export.

Can I import Hevy data into Taper?

Yes. Taper (our app) imports workout_data.csv with supersets preserved, imports measurement_data.csv with your choice of waist or abdomen as the tracked ab metric, and adds per-import revert.

How to Export Your Hevy App Data (2026 CSV Guide)

Open Hevy, tap Profile, then the settings gear in the top right corner, choose Export & Import Data, then Export Data, and tap Export Workouts. Hevy sends you workout_data.csv with your complete training history; body metrics export as a separate measurement_data.csv via Export Measurements on the same screen. Both files are free to export and readable by Excel, Google Sheets, and other training apps.

How do I export my workouts from Hevy?

Hevy keeps export and import in the same settings screen. From the Profile tab, tap the settings gear in the top right corner, choose Export & Import Data, then Export Data, and pick Export Workouts. The workout file arrives as workout_data.csv; measurements are their own Export Measurements option on the same screen. Store the files somewhere durable, not just in your downloads.

What does workout_data.csv contain?

One row per set, fourteen columns, more per-set detail than Strong’s export. The real header, from an actual export: title, start_time, end_time, description, exercise_title, superset_id, exercise_notes, set_index, set_type, weight_lbs, reps, distance_miles, duration_seconds, and rpe.

Three details matter when reading it:

Detail	What to know
Timestamps	Quoted, like “15 Jul 2026, 09:52”, comma inside the quotes
superset_id	Same number within a workout = performed as a superset
set_type	normal, warmup, dropset, or failure on every set

Weights are always in the weight_lbs column regardless of your display unit, which makes the file unambiguous for other apps to read.

What does measurement_data.csv contain?

One row per day, wide format: date, weight_lbs, fat_percent, and a column per measurement site (neck_in, waist_in, abdomen_in, and the rest). Days you didn’t measure are simply absent. It is the easier of the two files to browse in a spreadsheet.

Can I import data into Hevy?

Yes, and Hevy deserves credit here: it imports Strong’s CSV, which is why Hevy is the standard destination for Strong switchers. Portability in both directions is genuinely rare in this category, and it means trying an alternative costs you nothing but time. Our Strong export guide covers the other direction, our Strong vs Hevy comparison covers choosing between them, the 2026 app roundup ranks the wider field, and the Hevy alternatives guide maps the exits.

Which apps can import a Hevy CSV?

Taper (our app) imports both Hevy files in one pass: workouts arrive with supersets preserved via superset_id, and the measurement import asks whether waist_in or abdomen_in should feed your tracked waist metric. Every import has one-tap revert, so nothing is a one-way door. Taper’s job starts where the export ends: it reads the weight, waist, and strength history you just carried over and grades whether your training is actually working, with a verdict like Lean Bulk or Clean Cut instead of another chart. It’s on the App Store with a 30-day trial.

Why export regularly?

Because the export is the honest inventory of what your app knows: sets, timestamps, and tape measurements, but no interpretation. A quarterly export in your cloud storage survives lost phones, deleted accounts, and discontinued apps, and it keeps you free to bring your history to whatever reads it best. Your training data outlasting any single app is the whole point of owning it.
