Strava Launches Specialized Support for Strength Training, Featuring Sets, Reps, Weight, and Muscle Groups

3 Min Read

Strava is fundamentally transforming its strength training experience, featuring a revamped workout log, automatic muscle maps, enhanced sharing tools, and extended integrations with various apps and devices. Here are the specifics.

## Strava Welcomes Strength Training

For almost 200 million users, Strava serves as the primary app for recording walking, running, hiking, and cycling activities. More generally, it caters to foot and cycling sports.

While the app does allow for logging various other exercise types, such as strength, racket, water, winter, and additional sports, these activities have never been the main focus of the app, offering more limited features compared to running and cycling.

Today, Strava is entirely revamping its strength experience to better cater to what the platform claims is one of its rapidly expanding sports, with over 500 million strength workouts recorded on the platform in 2025 alone.

This development means Strava users can now plan, track, and share their workouts more accurately, including through 14 new partner integrations with additional apps and devices:

– 24 Hour Fitness (launching this summer)
– Amazfit
– Caliber
– COROS
– Fitbod
– Garmin
– Hevy
– iFIT Personal Trainer
– JEFIT
– Liftoff
– Motra
– REMAKER
– Runna
– WHOOP

The expanded support also brings a workout log feature that enables users to “dynamically capture sets, reps, and weight,” while making it simple to review past sessions and repeat workouts in the future.

Additionally, it introduces auto-generated muscle maps that visually display the muscle groups targeted during exercise sessions.

Being Strava, the update also comprises five new strength-specific sharing formats, enabling users to “celebrate their lifts and achievements with friends, clubs, and the wider Strava community.”

Here’s Matt Salazar, Strava’s Chief Product Officer, on today’s announcement:

> Strength has been one of the fastest-growing sport types on Strava for quite a while, with over 500 million uploads in 2025 alone, and our community has been vocal about what they require from us. […] This transformation brings the same depth, motivation, and shareability that Strava is known for to a variety of strength activities. Whether someone is training for a race, lifting for overall fitness, or focusing on strength as their main activity, they now have tools that cater to their real needs, and this is just the start.

Strava indicates that the new strength experience will be rolled out globally to its users “in the coming weeks,” and further information about the announcement can be found here.
