Best For & Not For

HevyHevy
✅ Best For
Lifters who already know their program and want the fastest, least fiddly place to record it
People motivated by social accountability who want friends seeing and reacting to their logged sessions
Budget-conscious trainees, since the free tier covers unlimited logging with no trial deadline attached
Apple Watch and WearOS users who want to leave the phone in the locker and log entirely from the wrist
Developers and data enthusiasts who want programmatic access to their training history through the public API
❌ Not For
Anyone who wants sessions generated from recovery data, since Hevy Trainer works from logged performance rather than sleep or HRV
Runners and endurance athletes, as the app is built almost entirely around resistance training
Free tier users running a long-term split, who will hit the routine cap and the limited history window quickly
People wanting a conversational AI coach that explains programming decisions in plain language
Lifters who need nutrition or macro tracking bundled into the same subscription
TempoTempo
✅ Best For
Home exercisers who want real barbells and dumbbells rather than cable or digital resistance systems
Beginners who are unsure about lifting technique and benefit from a sensor calling out form errors mid-set
Households of up to six people who want one membership covering everyone with separate profiles and progress
People who get bored quickly and want strength, HIIT, mobility, cardio, and recovery in one connected system
Anyone replacing a gym membership entirely and willing to trade upfront hardware cost for never commuting again
❌ Not For
Anyone in a small apartment, since the unit needs its own footprint plus several feet of clear space to train in
Budget buyers, given hardware costs that run from several hundred dollars for Move into the thousands for Studio
People who dislike mandatory subscriptions, as the coaching layer requires an ongoing household membership
Advanced powerlifters needing loads beyond what the included plate sets provide
Travellers who need training that works away from home, since the value is tied to the hardware

Real-world Use Cases

HevyHevy
1
Karan logs every set from his Apple Watch and leaves his phone in the locker, finishing sessions without once pulling it out to check what comes next.
2
Elise follows three friends on the Hevy feed, and the quiet pressure of them seeing her missed weeks turns two gym days a week into four.
3
Ravi hits the free tier's routine cap after building a full six day split, does the maths on the lifetime licence, and pays $74.99 once instead of subscribing forever.
TempoTempo
1
Priyanka has never lifted with a barbell before, and the sensors flag her rounding back on the third rep of every deadlift set until she corrects the pattern within two weeks.
2
The Mehta household splits one membership four ways, each with their own profile and progress history, for less than a single gym membership would cost any one of them.
3
Daniel buys the Move rather than the Studio because his flat has no room for a cabinet with a screen, docking his iPhone and streaming classes to the living room TV.
