How to Connect Your Hevy Profile to Hevy Coach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your trainer signs up for Hevy Coach (there\u2019s a 30-day free trial<\/a>), they can send an invitation to the email you\u2019ve used to sign up for the Hevy app. You can see what email you\u2019ve used by going to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profile<\/strong> > Settings<\/strong> (gear icon on the top right) > Account<\/strong> > Change Email<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You will be prompted to sign up through the email invitation if you don\u2019t yet have a Hevy app account.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Accepting your coach\u2019s invitation will generate a new Coach<\/strong> tab inside Hevy. Your trainer will be able to assign training plans, review your performance, and view your progress metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Information & Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tap on your trainer\u2019s name at the top of the Coach<\/strong> tab to see their personal information or remove their access from your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chat With Your Coach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tap the chat icon on the top right in the Coach<\/strong> tab to access your messages, respond to questions from your trainer, or ask them anything. You can also send them videos and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Log an Assigned Workout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navigate to the Coach<\/strong> tab to see the assigned workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Learn more about Hevy\u2019s workout-logging features here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you finish and <\/strong>save a workout<\/strong><\/a>, your trainer will gain instant access to your performance in the Hevy Coach platform, so you don\u2019t need to take extra steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Coach Can Also Log Workouts For<\/em> You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hevy Coach mobile app<\/a> lets your trainer see and log your prescribed workouts on their phone while coaching you in person. This means you can leave your phone in the locker room and focus entirely on your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coach app has the same workout-logging functions, including completing sets, inputting weight, reps, RPE<\/a>, and duration, writing notes<\/a>, and editing any<\/em> training variable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For instance, your coach can swap an exercise if a particular machine at the gym is not available, as well as remove sets<\/a>, reduce your rest periods<\/a>, and pair activities into supersets<\/a> if you\u2019re pressed for time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatically Share Performance & Body Metrics Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of using Hevy is that you don\u2019t need to send your coach any training or body composition information manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, as you log workouts, your coach gains instant access to all the data and metrics that matter. They can see everything in Hevy Coach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
