Quick answers
Tap a question to open it.
Getting started
I'm a total beginner. Where do I start?
Take the health check. Then pick a plan in Plans. The walking plan is the gentlest start.
Do I need a gym?
No. Most plans need no kit: walking, running and short home workouts. One plan is for the gym.
Is it safe for me to start?
For most people, yes. If you have a health condition or pain, or you're not sure, check with your doctor first.
How do I know if I'm doing a move right?
Every move in the plans is in the exercise list with a video. Film a set from the side and compare.
Membership
Is Heftic free?
Yes. Every plan, template, tool and article costs nothing. A free account opens the plans. No card needed.
What does Pro give me?
Everything in Free, the Daily log: bodyweight, food, steps, sleep, lifts and measurements, goals and graphs of your progress, food targets set from your own weight. $5 a month, and new members get the first 30 days free.
How do I cancel?
Go to Account and tap Manage billing. You keep your plan to the end of the month you paid for.
