How to Connect Hevy to AI (AI Workout Plans in Hevy)

Asking AI for a gym plan is easy. Typing that plan into your workout app, exercise by exercise, is the tedious part. Connecting Hevy to AI skips it: Viro builds the plan around how you already train and sets it up as routines in Hevy, ready for your next session.

This guide shows how to connect Hevy to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.

What you can do when Hevy is connected to AI

Read and catch up:

Look at your routines and folders, your recent workouts (up to 60), and what you’ve lifted on an exercise
Find exercises in your Hevy library, so a plan uses exercises Hevy already has
Read your body measurements when you ask

Make changes, with your OK:

Add a plan’s routines to Hevy, up to seven at a time, in their own folder
Change a routine: swap an exercise, change sets, add or remove an exercise, reorder or rename
Log a workout you did, or correct one you logged
Add a custom exercise, or log your weight or other measurements

What it won’t do: delete anything in Hevy, undo a change once it’s made, track a workout live, log one without you telling it what you did, or give medical advice.

How to connect Hevy to AI, step by step

Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
Go to Customize → Connectors, open Hevy and select Connect to Viro.
Create an API key in Hevy. Select Open Hevy’s developer settings, sign in to Hevy on the web and create a key. API keys need Hevy Pro.
Paste the key and select Connect. Viro checks it with Hevy before saving it.

What to ask Hevy once it’s connected

Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.

Plans

“Build me a 4-day gym plan and set it up in Hevy.”
“Make a 3-day beginner full-body plan using the exercises I already do.”

Adjusting

“Swap bench press for incline dumbbell press in my Upper A routine.”
“Add a set to every squat in my Legs routine.”

Logging and progress

“Log today’s workout: squats, 3 sets of 5 at 100 kg. I started at 6 pm and it took 45 minutes.”
“How has my squat gone this month?”
“Log my weight: 82.4 kg this morning.”

Does the AI change Hevy without asking?

No. Viro shows a card marked Needs your OK with exactly what it will add or change. Nothing reaches Hevy until you select Add to Hevy, Save to Hevy or Log workout. Viro can’t undo a change, so read the card before you confirm. Viro can plan training and describe your trends, but it isn’t a doctor or physiotherapist.

Is it private?

Viro reads your Hevy data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.

To disconnect, open Hevy in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored. Delete the API key in Hevy’s developer settings too if you like.
