Importing your data
Switch from another app
Strong, Hevy, Fitbod, and FitNotes are all one-tap imports. Every session, PR, and volume number comes across.
How do I move from Strong, Hevy, FitNotes, or Fitbod?
Imports run on the web — there's no in-app importer. Sign in at swolex.com/account/data with the same account you use on your phone. The Import panel is at the top of that page.
Then export from your old app:
- Strong — In the Strong app: Settings → Export Data → CSV. Upload the file. We detect the format automatically.
- Hevy — In Hevy: Settings → Export Data. Upload the CSV. Hevy supports per-row weight units; we read them as-is.
- Fitbod — In Fitbod: Settings → Export workout history. Upload the CSV. Note: Fitbod exports in kg.
- FitNotes — In FitNotes: Settings → Export Database. Save the
.fitnotesfile — this is a SQLite backup, not a CSV. Upload that file directly.
After uploading you'll see a preview showing matched exercises. Confirm and commit on the web. The import runs server-side and finishes in a minute or two — once it's done, the new sessions show up in the mobile app on next refresh.
Will my PRs and history transfer?
Yes. Every session, every set, every weight and rep — and your RPE notes where present — comes across. Detected PRs are recomputed against your full imported history, so the PRs tab populates immediately.
Exercise names auto-match to our catalog by common name. Anything unmatched becomes a custom exercise tagged to your account — private, but Kevin can program with it once it's in your history.
Body measurements (bodyweight, body fat) parse from FitNotes backups but aren't yet written to your profile in this version — we'll surface them once that profile screen ships.
What if my app isn't on the list?
Try the generic CSV uploader. As long as your file has at minimum a date column and an exercise name column, we'll detect the structure and import what we can.
If your file format doesn't work, send us a note with a sample export — we add new importers regularly and can usually have you up and running in a few days.
Apps that explicitly aren't supported yet:
- Apple Health (workouts), Google Health Connect
- Strava, Garmin Connect, Fitbit
They're on the roadmap but require OAuth integrations rather than file uploads. We'll announce on the feed when they ship.
