If you've been training with Strong or Hevy, import that history before you start from scratch in Kenso. Kenso uses it to build a program, seed your progression, and set a strength baseline, rather than starting cold. Importing is free and works from any export file, no matter how far back it goes.

Why import first

An import brings your past workouts, exercises, and sets into Kenso. From that history, Kenso can detect your recent routine and turn it into a program, back-fill personal records, and give your Strength Score a real starting point instead of an empty one.

What Kenso builds from it

  • A program: once you have enough recent sessions imported, Kenso can detect your routine and offer to turn it into a Kenso program. See Create a program from your imported history.
  • Progression: exercises you've been running get their progression history seeded from what you imported, rather than starting from zero.
  • Personal records and a strength baseline: Kenso scans imported sets for PRs and uses your history to give Strength Score something to work from immediately.

How to import

Go to Settings → Data & Sync → Import Workouts, and upload the export file from your other app. See the app-specific guides:

You can also re-import later to top up with newer workouts. Kenso skips anything already in your account and only adds what's new.

Good to know

  • Detecting your routine from imported history and bringing it in as a program is free, with no limit on how many times you do it. After an import, Kenso may also offer to build you an AI program that specifically fixes what your history is missing: that build is a Pro feature. (The free-then-Pro allowance you may see elsewhere applies to building a program from a photo or PDF, not to anything based on imported history.) You can always build a program manually or from a template at no cost. See Six ways to get a program in Kenso.
  • Already exported from Kenso before and switching devices? See Import workouts for re-importing a Kenso export.
