A social lifting log. Or the full day around it.
Hevy is a purpose-built strength tracker with routines, live logging, progress, and a social community. POWR has a deep set logger but no public feed. Its advantage is the connected record around the workout: nutrition, plans, recovery, Apple Health, bloodwork, and coach chat.
Side by side
Hevy wins the social and cross-platform rows. POWR answers a wider set of health and nutrition jobs.
| POWR | Hevy | |
|---|---|---|
| Strength logging | A free set logger with reps, load, holds, distance, supersets, derived rest, RIR, PRs, and a plate calculator. | A core product job with routines, live sets, rest timers, exercise history, progress, and workout customization. |
| Social training (POWR loses) | No public feed, clubs, or follower graph. | A built-in social feed and community are central product features. |
| Multi-week training plans | On Pro, POWR builds multi-week training plans with goal-specific phases, progression, and easier weeks. Review the proposed schedule and changes before accepting. | Saved and shared routines are central. Check the current automated planning tools. |
| Nutrition and recovery | Food, calorie and macro targets, sleep, readiness, and muscle recovery share the workout record. | Check theirs — this page will not quote a tier that can change next week. |
| Bloodwork and coach context | 93 lab biomarkers plus coach chat grounded in request-relevant food, training, recovery, and trend data. | Check theirs — this page will not quote a tier that can change next week. |
| Platforms (POWR loses) | iPhone and Apple Watch only. | Mobile, web, Apple Watch, and Wear OS, including Android support. |
| Current price and tiers | Published on the pricing page. | Check theirs — this page will not quote a tier that can change next week. |

Pick Hevy instead if
Any one of these is enough. They are not weighed against a list of POWR's advantages, because that is how a real decision works.
- A lifting community and public workout feed are part of why you train.
- You want a dedicated routine builder without a larger health app around it.
- You use Android, Wear OS, or a web browser.
