Import workouts from CSV

Kept your training in a spreadsheet — Excel, Google Sheets or another app? Send me a CSV file and I'll move the history into your diary.

Step 1. Get the file ready

I need four columns: date, exercise, weight and reps. Set number and RPE are optional.

• Headers in English or Russian: date, exercise, weight, reps — I recognize them myself.
• Delimiter: comma, semicolon, tab or pipe. Excel and Google Sheets save differently, I figure it out.
• Dates: 2025-09-12, 12.09.2025 and other common formats. If a date can be read two ways, I tell you how I read it.
• A unit in the header — "Weight (lbs)" or weight_lbs — gets converted to your diary's units. No unit means I treat the weight as yours.
• No header row? In the bot I ask about the columns by number and show you the first row.
• The extension is .csv. In Excel: File → Save As → CSV. In Google Sheets: File → Download → CSV.

Notes instead of a spreadsheet? Paste them into the bot or the app as text — the AI coach reads them, and I show you the result before logging anything.

Step 2. Load it into the bot

1. Open the bot and go to 🔧 Settings → 📥 Import CSV. While your diary is empty, the 📥 Import history from Hevy/Strong button sits right in the main menu.
2. Send the CSV file as a document — as is, no edits.
3. Check what I read and tap ✅ Upload all. Until then I log nothing.

Or load it into the iPhone app

1. In the app, open Settings → Import CSV and pick the file. From Hevy it's shorter: pick Athlete Diary in the Share window.
2. I show a preview: workouts, sets, units and the exercises I didn't recognize.
3. All good — run the import.

What I do with the file

• Split it into workouts by start time and title — two workouts on one day stay two.
• No doubling up. A workout that's already in your diary (same start minute, or the same exercises on the same day) gets skipped, and I tell you how many.
• Match the names against the catalog and your own exercises. Where I'm unsure, I ask where it goes and don't import until you pick.
• Explain what I skip. Warm-ups, cardio, timed exercises and sets with no weight on a loaded exercise don't go in — but I say how many and why, with examples.
• Carry notes over for exercises and for workouts.
• Let you undo it. Landed wrong? "↩️ Undo import" removes exactly what I loaded: workouts, sets, the exercises it created and the badges they unlocked. You can undo within 30 days.
