Strava Goes All-In on Strength Training in Major Update

The update brings muscle maps, workout logs and 14 partner integrations to the social fitness app that’s become highly popular with runners and cyclists

Strava is giving strength training a much larger role on its platform, rolling out new tools for workout logging, muscle maps, partner integrations and social sharing.

The update includes 14 integrations across the strength, fitness and wearable ecosystem, a dedicated workout log, auto-populated muscle maps and five new strength-specific shareable formats. The features are designed to make lifting easier to log, understand and share alongside the runs, rides and other activities users already track on Strava.

Strava said strength is one of its fastest-growing sport types, with more than 500 million strength uploads in 2025 alone.

The company, which is eyeing an IPO amid the social fitness boom, said the growth of strength training is being driven in part by interest in overall health, longevity and injury prevention, as more athletes incorporate resistance training into broader fitness routines.

“Our community has been clear about what they need from us,” Strava chief product officer Matt Salazar said. “This overhaul brings the same depth, motivation and shareability that Strava is known for to a myriad of strength activities.”

The update includes integrations with popular wearables including Amazfit, Garmin and Whoop, among others, along with 24 Hour Fitness, which is expected to join this summer. The integrations are designed to bring more comprehensive strength data from third-party apps and devices into Strava, reducing the need for users to manually recreate workouts inside the platform.

The new workout log lets athletes record sets, reps and weight in a dedicated strength format, making it easier to review and repeat workouts over time. Strava is also adding auto-populated muscle maps, which visually highlight the muscle groups trained based on the exercises performed.

Strava is also rolling out five strength-specific shareable formats, giving users more ways to post lifting progress, workout summaries and gym-based milestones with friends, clubs and the broader Strava community.

The new strength experience is rolling out globally to Strava users in the coming weeks.
