Hexis Live

I've used Hexis for about 10 months. In that time, the app has improved dramatically. The foundation has always been solid - a useful tool to periodise nutrition around endurance training. The UI is now much better and performance improvements have made the app a pleasure to use. I am an enthusiastic amateur cyclist, racing and training 15 hours per week. Hexis helps me understand when and how much of each macro to eat to optimise training adaptations and body composition. It has caused a significant shift in the amount of carbs I eat before and during longer rides, and a general significant increase in protein intake (difficult as a mostly plant-based athlete). Being able to save favourite foods and create custom foods (e.g. my regular recovery porridge recipe) are great time-saving features that make logging easier. This is essential for consistency. I use the app to track all food during intense periods of training and racing, and to check general macro requirements (but not to track all food intake) during off season. The TrainingPeaks integration is amazing. I look forward to seeing the recipes the team creates in future updates (especially those that help plant-based athletes take on more protein!)

I took the plunge and subscribed to this to help get a grip of my fuelling both on and off the bike. The interface “works” and the (working) features are useful and helpful for the amateur “athlete”. The “live” energy is a nice pictorial way of viewing calories in vs calories out. There is a MASSIVE drawback - the food logging is really laborious- it takes longer to log a meal cooked from scratch than eat it…may help with weight loss! The creation of custom foods is ok but only seems to allow g/ml and only collects very basic nutritional info. It lacks the ui of most free “calorie tracker apps” (no barcode scanner, no recipe builder that works and only has rudimentary “macros” (no fibre, no splitting of the fat) - the “database” of foods is not very accurate or large and the “take a picture” log has a 10% accuracy for me. I’ve committed to a long subscription so this will motivate me to use and log - I hope the development continues and logging of foods/recipes/meals becomes easy.

Can’t log any meal in last slot got to delete app and re install to quickly log last meal in then it disappears plus other activities and food logs go into other days this is my first month.would of been nice to just have a free trial just to see if app worked first hope I have not wasted 15 pounds. Lucky I was going to pay for the whole year

I thought I had a good idea of how to fuel my training sessions, but my performance and recovery has hugely improved since using Hexis. I love being able to integrate with Training Peaks and see my future sessions. This allows me to plan my meals and intraworkout fuelling for upcoming sessions, rather than just guessing. My power numbers and FTP have gone up significantly over the last few months 🚀

Been using Hexis for over a year and while it’s always been a bit clunky, it’s been a very useful training tool. Really helped bring a step change about how I think about how my nutrition and training inter link But recent updates have been a huge step backwards. Various features are not available, and incredibly hard to find basic foodstuffs - especially uncooked. Removal of option to add and save manual entries also completely infuriating!! Really unclear why everything’s switched across to a half finished app with a much worse user experience.

New update has made many features unavailable. Latest update still not made food log savings available, which makes it too time consuming.

Please respond to my email and the messages I dropped to your instagram page. I have zero feedback about this. Just refund me. Thank you

This app has a lot of good aspects to it, however, the latest food log update is truly awful. The update feels rushed and a lot of the features are currently unavailable. You cannot log your own ingredients so have to rely on what feels like largely American brands. The scan option is very inaccurate too. The foods added do not have consistent measurement options. It feels like the app has taken a backwards step.

The idea is good and worked for the first day, although froze a few times. Now not showing me any information and isn’t working at all. Probably best not waste you money.

Great for personalised nutrition planning! TrainingPeaks integration makes a massive difference and very simple to use.
