Strava adds dedicated strength training support for sets, muscle groups, and more.

Strava completely overhauls its strength training experience, with a new training log, automatic muscle maps, new sharing tools, and expanded integrations with apps and devices. Here are the details.

Strava embraces strength training

For nearly 200 million users, Strava is the go-to app for recording walking, running, hiking and cycling sessions. Or, more broadly, hiking and cycling sports.

The app supports recording other exercise types, including strength, racket, water, winter, and other sports, but these activities have never been the focus of the app, with more limited functionality compared to running and cycling.

Now, Strava is completely overhauling its strength training experience to better support what the platform sees as one of its fastest growing sports, with over 500 million strength training activities recorded on the platform in 2025 alone.

This means Strava users can now plan, track and share their sessions more accurately, including 14 new partner integrations with other apps and devices:

  • 24-hour fitness (coming this summer)
  • Amazon
  • Caliber
  • COROS
  • Fitbod
  • Garmin
  • Hévy
  • iFIT Personal Trainer
  • JEFIT
  • Takeoff
  • Motra
  • REDOOR
  • Runna
  • CRY

The expanded support also introduces a workout log tool, which allows users to “dynamically record sets, reps, and weight,” while making it easy to review previous sessions and repeat workouts later.

It also adds auto-populated muscle maps that automatically generate a visual way to highlight muscle groups trained during exercise sessions.

Since this is Strava, the update also includes five new highlight-specific sharing formats, so users can “celebrate their lifts and progress with friends, clubs, and the wider Strava community.”

Here’s Stravas Chief Product Officer Matt Salazar in today’s news:

Strength has been one of the fastest growing sport types on Strava for some time, with over 500 million downloads in 2025 alone, and our community has made it clear what they expect from us. (…) This redesign brings the same depth, motivation and ease of sharing that Strava is known for to a myriad of muscle-building activities. Whether a person is training for a race, lifting for overall fitness, or building strength as a primary activity, they now have tools that go with them to where they really are, and that’s just the beginning.

Strava says the new force experience will roll out globally to its users “in the coming weeks,” and you can read more about the news here.
