Strava adds dedicated strength training support for sets, reps, weight, and muscle groups

Strava is completely overhauling its strength training experience, with a new workout 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 to log walking, running, hiking, and cycling sessions. Or, more broadly, foot and cycle sports.

The app does support logging other types of exercises, including strength, racket, water, winter, and other sports, but those activities have never been the focus of the app, with more limited functionality compared with running and cycling.

Today, Strava is completely overhauling its strength experience to better support what the platform says is one of its fastest-growing sports, with more than 500 million strength activities logged on the platform in 2025 alone.

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

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

The expanded support also introduces a workout log tool, which allows users to “dynamically record sets, reps, and weight,” while also 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 the muscle groups that were trained during the exercise sessions.

Since it’s Strava, the update also includes five new strength-specific sharing formats, so users can “celebrate their lifts and progress with friends, clubs, and the broader Strava community.”

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

Strength has been one of the fastest-growing sport types on Strava for some time, with over 500 million uploads in 2025 alone, and our community has been clear about what they need from us. […] This overhaul brings the same depth, motivation, and shareability that Strava is known for to a myriad of strength activities. Whether someone is training for a race, lifting for general fitness, or building strength as their primary activity, they now have tools that meet them where they actually are, and this is only the beginning.

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