1. Export your data from Hevy
- Open Hevy and go to Profile → Settings → Export & Import Data → Export Data.
- Choose Export Workouts, Export Measurements, or export both separately.
- Save the CSV files to your phone. Keep an unchanged copy of each export.
Hevy describes both exports in its official export guide. You need the exported files, rather than a workout-sharing link or a screenshot.
2. Open the files in Kilos
- Open Settings → Import & export → Import from Hevy.
- Choose your workout CSV, measurement CSV, or both. The file picker accepts multiple files.
- Check the preview. It shows the workouts and sets found, plus measurement counts when you selected a measurement file.
- Review exercise matches. Choose a Kilos exercise for unfamiliar names, or keep them as your own exercises under their Hevy names.
- For workouts, choose Everyone or Only me, then tap Import selected history. Kilos may ask how you logged dumbbell weights and one-sided reps before saving.
You can bring measurements on their own. The workout visibility question applies when the selection contains workouts. Imports and your history are part of the free workout tracker.
What transfers from the files
- Workout history: names, dates, start and end times, exercises, set order, reps and weights.
- Extra set detail: notes, warm-up, drop and failure set types, RPE, distances and timed sets when present in the export.
- Measurements: the supported measurements present in the file, including body weight, body fat and body-part measurements. Empty cells stay empty.
- Units: Kilos reads Hevy's metric or imperial columns, including kilograms or pounds, kilometres or miles, and centimetres or inches.
This moves the history contained in your files. It does not move your Hevy account, followers, saved routine library or progress photos. It is an import, not an ongoing connection between the two apps.
Exact set timestamps and rest periods are not available to Kilos from this export. Hevy workouts keep their workout-level start and end times, but Kilos does not invent timestamps for individual sets. Lean body mass is not imported.
Check your history after importing
Open a recent workout and compare an exercise, its weights and reps with Hevy. If you imported measurements, check a date and value you recognise. Review any skipped-row message in the preview rather than assuming that every row was saved.
Can I import the same file again?
An identical Hevy workout export produces the same workout IDs, so importing the same file again does not add another copy of those workouts. If a workout was edited in Hevy and then exported again, it can be treated as a different workout. Check for overlapping dates before importing an updated export.
Why does Kilos ask about dumbbells and one-sided reps?
A number alone does not say whether you logged one dumbbell or the pair, or reps per side or in total. Kilos asks about your convention when the import includes those exercises. Your imported numbers stay as logged.
What if no history is found?
Use a fresh, unchanged CSV from Hevy's export menu. Check that you selected the file itself and that it contains entries. If it still fails, contact support with your phone type, which export you chose and the error text. Keep your original files while you check the result.
Have a Strong file instead? Use Import from Strong. Once your history is in place, you can also train with a friend while keeping separate workout logs.
