What r/Hevy Is For
This community is for people who use Hevy, a free social workout tracker available on iOS and Android. The description says athletes use it to log workouts, analyze progress, and be part of a community of athletes. So the people here are talking about their training, their progress, and the app itself.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The only rule that matters here is the one called "No Spam". The rule text is short and just says this is spam. The policy brief confirms that promotion is banned and spam is not allowed in the community. That single rule is the gatekeeper for everything you might want to post.
What To Post
A good post here is one that fits the community without looking like marketing. Since the app is about logging workouts and analyzing progress, a post about how you use Hevy to track your training could work. You could share a genuine question about workout tracking or a real story about your progress using the app. Keep it focused on the app and the community, not on your own product.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that trips the "No Spam" rule. That means no promotional posts, no links that look like ads, and no content that is not relevant to Hevy or workout tracking. The policy brief is clear that promotion is banned, so do not try to sneak in a pitch for your own product.
