Is Phaserr a full replacement for Hevy Coach?

For the programming side, yes — and it goes deeper: block periodization, %1RM and RPE prescriptions, and automatic load progression. What you'd give up is the Hevy consumer app itself, whose logging UX athletes love; Phaserr's athletes log in its web app instead.

Does Hevy Coach support percentage-based programming?

Partially. Hevy estimates a 1RM from logged sets, but it doesn't compute prescribed loads from percentages — the coach still types absolute weights, and there's no automatic recalculation when a max changes. In Phaserr, %1RM prescriptions are computed from each athlete's 1RM history automatically.

How much does Phaserr cost compared to Hevy Coach?

Phaserr is free. Hevy Coach charges the coach only — $25/mo for up to 10 clients, $50/mo for 25, $90/mo for 50, $160/mo for 100 — with a 30-day free trial and clients using Hevy for free.

Can my athletes keep logging in Hevy?

Not for Phaserr programs — there is no integration between the platforms. Athletes log in Phaserr's web app, which is what lets each logged set feed the next session's prescribed loads.

Alternatives

A Hevy Coach alternative that does the periodization math

Hevy Coach has a real advantage: your clients probably already log in Hevy, one of the best-loved workout trackers there is. Onboarding friction is close to zero and the logging experience is excellent.

But under the hood it is a routine builder on top of a logger. The coach types absolute weights, percentage-based loading isn't computed for you, and multi-week plans are folders of routines rather than periodized blocks. Phaserr starts from the opposite end: blocks, %1RM and RPE prescriptions, and logged results that set the next session's loads.

What Hevy Coach does well

Hevy Coach is the coach platform from Hevy Studios (Barcelona), built on the Hevy consumer tracker — rated 4.9 with 500k+ ratings and millions of users. Coaches program in a clean web dashboard; athletes receive and log workouts in the regular Hevy app and get Hevy Pro free while coached. Pricing is simple and coach-only, with a 30-day free trial and a 400+ exercise video library plus in-app coach–client chat.

Phaserr vs Hevy Coach at a glance

	Phaserr	Hevy Coach
Built for	Strength and S&C coaches writing periodized programs (powerlifting, weightlifting, combat, team sport).	Online personal trainers — especially hypertrophy and general strength coaches whose clients already track workouts in Hevy.
Program building	Block periodization is the core object: plan the macrocycle, phase the blocks, build sessions inside them — with an AI assistant that understands periodization.	Routine builder with multi-week plan folders. Reviewers note there is no block-periodization engine and that a client can't be assigned multiple periodized programs at once.
Loading methods	Percent-based and RPE-based prescriptions built in. A dated 1RM history feeds percentage loads automatically — a new max updates tomorrow's working sets.	Athletes log RPE per set. Hevy estimates a 1RM per lift, but there is no percentage-based auto-loading — the coach types absolute target weights.
Logging & progress	Set-by-set actuals, AMRAPs and test days captured; logging feeds directly into the next session's loads.	Best-in-class consumer logging in the Hevy app: every set with weight, reps, RPE and rest, auto rest timer, PRs, volume and progress graphs visible to the coach.
Nutrition, habits & business	Not a focus — Phaserr stays a training-programming tool.	None — no nutrition or meal planning, no habit tracking, no scheduling, and no integrated payments; coaches bill outside the app.
Client apps & branding	Web app.	Athletes use the standard Hevy iOS/Android app (Hevy Pro included while coached); a separate Hevy Coach app exists for coaches. No white-label branding.
Pricing	Free.	Coach-only subscription, clients pay nothing: $25/mo (up to 10 clients), $50/mo (25), $90/mo (50), $160/mo (100), tiers up to 1,000. 30-day free trial, no card required.

Which one is for you

Choose Hevy Coach if…

Your clients already track in Hevy and you want zero onboarding friction.
You coach hypertrophy or general strength where absolute weights and RPE cues are enough.
You want the cheapest solid entry point and don't need nutrition, scheduling, or billing anyway.

Choose Phaserr if…

You program in blocks and percentages and currently maintain the load math by hand.
You want a new tested max to update every downstream working weight automatically.
You run structured cycles — several periodized phases ahead — not week-to-week routine folders.

Moving from Hevy Coach to Phaserr

Athletes who log in Hevy already know the habit that matters — logging every set. Moving the programming side to Phaserr is a structured few evenings.

Write down the cycle behind your Hevy Coach plan folders: phases, weekly split, and how you progress loads between weeks.
Rebuild that structure in Phaserr as blocks — the AI assistant drafts mesocycles from your split and goals, and you adjust from there.
Enter each athlete's current maxes (Hevy's estimated 1RMs are a starting point; a recent AMRAP or test set is better).
Invite your athletes and start logging — from the first session, actuals feed the loads Phaserr suggests next.
