How to switch from Strong or Hevy without losing your history
Your records, charts and years of training come with you. A step-by-step guide to importing your workouts into Leann.
Your training history is valuable. It’s how you know what to lift next, and it’s proof of how far you’ve come. Switching apps shouldn’t mean starting from zero, so Leann can import your workouts from Strong and Hevy.
Step 1: Export from your current app
Both apps can export your workouts as a CSV file.
From Strong: go to Profile → Settings → Export Strong data.
From Hevy: go to Profile → Settings → Export & import data → Export workouts.
Save the CSV to your phone’s Files app or to Google Drive.
Menu names can change between app versions. If you can’t find the option, look for “Export” in the app’s settings.
Step 2: Import into Leann
- Open Leann and go to Settings → Your data → Import from Strong or Hevy.
- Tap Choose CSV file and pick the file you just saved.
- Leann shows a summary: how many workouts and sets it found, and the date range.
- Choose the weight unit the file uses. Strong exports use whatever unit you had set in Strong.
Step 3: Review exercise names
Different apps name exercises differently. “Bench Press (Barbell)” in one app might be “Barbell Bench Press” in another. Leann matches what it can automatically and shows a short review list for anything it isn’t sure about. Pick the right match, or keep it as a custom exercise.
Step 4: Import, and you’re done
Tap Import and Leann brings your workouts into your history. Your records, progress charts and weight suggestions pick them up straight away, so your first workout in Leann already knows what you lifted last time.
Good to know
- No duplicates. Importing the same file twice won’t create duplicate workouts. Leann skips the ones that are already there.
- Private by default. The import happens on your phone. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to sign in and sync.
- You can always leave. Leann exports everything as CSV or full JSON at any time. We think that’s how it should be.
