How to Import Workouts into WHOOP Strength Trainer (From Hevy & Other Apps)

The honest answer most lifters need to hear up front: WHOOP doesn't accept third-party workout imports for Strength Trainer in 2026. There's no CSV import, no API push, no "Connect to Hevy" button. Here's what the actual options look like, when each one is worth the effort, and the screenshot-based workflow that gives you a unified progression view without re-logging anything.

The short answer

WHOOP doesn't accept workout imports. You can either (a) manually re-log each session in WHOOP Strength Trainer to feed Strain, or (b) skip the re-log entirely and use StrengthInsight to read a screenshot from your source app (Hevy, Strong, FitNotes, etc.) and combine the data with your WHOOP recovery view automatically. Option (b) takes 10 seconds per session.

Why WHOOP doesn't accept imports (and probably won't soon)

WHOOP's API exposes recovery, HRV, sleep, and strain data outbound — but the Strength Trainer data layer is closed both ways. WHOOP doesn't expose your set-by-set data to third parties, and equally it doesn't accept third-party workout data inbound. The result is the same in practice: your strength data has to be entered inside WHOOP to live inside WHOOP.

WHOOP's May 2026 announcement listed "third-party app integrations" as a future roadmap item, but with no ship date and no specific mention of workout imports. So the practical answer in 2026: don't wait.

Your three real options

OptionEffort per workoutStrain integrationProgression view
Manually re-log full session in WHOOP5–10 min✓ Full✗ Still no per-exercise trend
Quick "summary" log in WHOOP (top exercises only)~1 min✓ Approximate✗ Still no per-exercise trend
Skip WHOOP log + use StrengthInsight10 sec (screenshot)✗ No✓ Full per-exercise trends + PRs

The honest tradeoff: if Strain integration is non-negotiable for you, options 1 or 2 are unavoidable. If your priority is per-exercise progression visibility (which WHOOP itself doesn't yet show, even with a full re-log), option 3 gets you that for free without any re-logging at all.

Option 1: Full manual re-log inside WHOOP Strength Trainer

If you decide to mirror your Hevy / Strong / FitNotes session inside WHOOP, the workflow:

  1. Open WHOOP → Activities → Strength Trainer → New session
  2. Select the exercises in the order you performed them
  3. Enter sets, reps, and weight for each exercise
  4. Save the session with the correct date/time of your actual workout

This is the only path that gives WHOOP a complete set-by-set picture of the session. The cost is 5–10 minutes per workout of mostly manual data entry that you've effectively done twice (once in your real logger, once in WHOOP). For most people, this gets abandoned within two weeks.

Option 2: Quick summary log (the "Strain-only" workaround)

If you want your strength session to count toward daily Strain but don't care about WHOOP having full set-by-set detail, log a quick summary:

  1. Log only your top 2–3 exercises in WHOOP Strength Trainer
  2. Enter a single representative set (e.g. "top set squat 140kg × 5")
  3. Save — WHOOP's Strain algorithm picks up the activity and credits roughly correct load

This takes about a minute and feeds WHOOP enough information for Strain to register that you trained. It's the pragmatic middle ground — you lose set-by-set fidelity inside WHOOP, but you gain a representative Strain value.

The shortcut

Skip the re-log entirely — let StrengthInsight read your screenshot

The fastest path: screenshot the workout in your source app (Hevy, Strong, FitNotes, your spreadsheet, your gym whiteboard). Upload it to StrengthInsight. AI extracts every exercise, set, rep and weight. You get estimated 1RM trends, PR tracking and plateau alerts in one progression view — alongside your WHOOP recovery data. Free, 10 seconds per session, no manual entry inside WHOOP at all.

Option 3: The screenshot workflow (the one most people end up using)

1
Finish your workout in your usual app Hevy, Strong, FitNotes, Caliber, a Google Sheet — whatever you already use. Don't change your logging app for WHOOP's sake.
2
Screenshot the session summary A standard phone screenshot of the workout — exercises, sets, reps and weights all visible. Takes 3 seconds.
3
Upload to StrengthInsight AI extracts every set, rep and weight. You get per-exercise estimated 1RM trends, PR tracking, plateau alerts and an AI-generated next workout — alongside the WHOOP recovery context you're already getting in the WHOOP app.

This isn't an import into WHOOP per se — it's a unified progression view that doesn't need WHOOP to be the system of record for strength data. For most lifters that's a better answer than re-logging anyway, because even a fully re-logged WHOOP Strength Trainer session doesn't show per-exercise progression. You'd be doing the data entry work without getting the progression view at the end of it.

What about other apps? (Strong, FitNotes, Caliber, spreadsheets)

The same logic applies. There is no direct import from Strong, FitNotes, Caliber, or a spreadsheet into WHOOP Strength Trainer. The options are identical:

StrengthInsight reads screenshots from any of these apps — it's source-agnostic for the most part. The constraint is just that the screenshot needs to show exercise names, sets, reps and weights clearly.

FAQ

Can I import Hevy workouts into WHOOP Strength Trainer?

No. WHOOP doesn't accept third-party workout imports for Strength Trainer in 2026. Options are manual re-log or skip-and-unify via StrengthInsight.

Does WHOOP accept CSV imports?

Not for Strength Trainer. WHOOP doesn't currently support CSV imports of strength workouts.

How do I move Strong / FitNotes workouts to WHOOP?

No automated path exists. Re-log manually inside WHOOP, or use StrengthInsight to read screenshots from Strong/FitNotes for the progression view without needing data inside WHOOP.

Will WHOOP add workout imports in 2026?

Third-party integrations are on WHOOP's roadmap, but no ship date or commitment to workout imports specifically. Don't wait.

Is re-logging worth it just for Strain?

Only if Strain matters to you. A quick top-set summary log takes about a minute and gives WHOOP enough to credit Strain — full set-by-set re-logging is rarely worth the time.

The unified workflow

Stop re-logging. Start unifying.

Use whatever app you prefer for logging, screenshot the session, let StrengthInsight extract the data and pair it with your WHOOP recovery view.
