How is Fitenome different from Hevy and Strong?

Hevy and Strong log what you already did: they're digital notebooks with stats. Fitenome designs and revises your plan every week: it picks one of four periodization models (Linear, Undulating, ATR or Maintenance), operates inside your MEV-MAV-MRV volume ranges, monitors your ACWR ratio to prevent injury and triggers an automatic deload when fatigue justifies it.

Is Fitenome a Fitbod alternative?

Yes, but it operates on another level. Fitbod recommends exercises set by set based on muscle recovery. Fitenome plans your whole season —macrocycle, mesocycles and microcycles— with a periodization model chosen for your level and goal, and also adjusts your nutrition macros as the block progresses.

How much does Fitenome cost compared to Hevy?

Fitenome has a free guest mode and starter plan. Premium is €5.79/month or €34.99/year (about €2.92/month). It's in a similar range to Hevy Pro, but in exchange you get full training and nutrition prescription, not just logging and stats.

Q: What is the best alternative to Hevy?

It depends on what you need. If you only want to log sets and reps, Hevy and Strong do the job. If you want an app to decide your plan —which exercises, how much volume, when to deload— Fitenome is the alternative: it isn't a tracker, it's a prescription engine that applies periodization, RPE autoregulation and automatic deload.

Hevy, Strong and Fitbod are great at logging what you did. But none of them decides what you should do next week. Fitenome does: it's a prescription engine that designs your whole season and rewrites your plan based on your real fatigue. If you're tired of being your own coach, this is the difference.

The difference in one sentence

A tracker (Hevy, Strong) is a digital notebook: you decide the routine, the app stores it and gives you stats. A recommender (Fitbod) suggests the next exercise based on muscle recovery. A prescription engine (Fitenome) plans your entire season, picks the right periodization model for your level, and revises the plan every week based on your accumulated load, daily readiness and real progress.

Put differently: with Hevy you program and the app records. With Fitenome the app programs and you train.

When are Hevy or Strong the better choice?

Let's be honest: not everyone needs a prescription engine. Stick with a tracker like Hevy or Strong if:

You already have a plan that works (yours or your coach's) and just want to log it cleanly.
You enjoy designing your own routines and only need stats and personal records.
You share workouts with a community and value the social side.

When is Fitenome the better choice?

Switch to Fitenome if:

You don't know when to deload or how much volume to run, and want something to decide it with real criteria.
You've plateaued and suspect it's a programming problem, not an effort one.
You want training and nutrition that adapt to your fatigue week by week, without rebuilding the spreadsheet.
You'd pay for a certified coach but prefer a system that applies the same principles for about €2.92/month.

How Fitenome decides (the part no tracker does)

The initial assessment picks your periodization model; from there, every week the engine makes decisions a tracker leaves to you:

RPE/RIR autoregulation — recommends your next set from the one you just lifted.
ACWR monitoring — acute/chronic load ratio to trigger a deload before fatigue becomes injury.
MEV → MAV → MRV volume — always inside your individual landmarks.
Banister fitness-fatigue model per muscle group — it knows your chest is fried while your legs are fresh.
Automatic deload — scheduled by load, not by calendar.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to Hevy?

If you only want to log, Hevy is already good. If you want the app to decide your plan, Fitenome is the alternative: it prescribes periodization, autoregulation and automatic deload instead of just recording.

Can I migrate my workouts from Hevy or Strong?

Fitenome doesn't import third-party histories because it starts from an assessment to build your plan from scratch. Your progress is tracked inside Fitenome from your first session.

Does Fitenome replace a personal trainer?

It applies the same programming decisions a certified CSCS coach would make, but it doesn't replace medical advice or in-person technique correction. It's a programming coach, not a physiotherapist.
