Or, more broadly, foot and cycle sports.<\/p>\n<p>The app does support logging <a href=\"https:\/\/support.strava.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/216919407-Supported-Sport-Types-on-Strava\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other types of exercises<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Strava is completely overhauling its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/strength\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">strength<\/a> experience to better support what the platform says is one of its fastest-growing sports, with more than\u00a0500 million\u00a0strength activities logged on the platform in 2025 alone.<\/p>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<p>24 Hour Fitness (coming this summer)<\/p>\n<p>Amazfit<\/p>\n<p>Caliber<\/p>\n<p>COROS<\/p>\n<p>Fitbod<\/p>\n<p>Garmin<\/p>\n<p>Hevy<\/p>\n<p>iFIT Personal Trainer<\/p>\n<p>JEFIT<\/p>\n<p>Liftoff<\/p>\n<p>Motra<\/p>\n<p>REMAKER<\/p>\n<p>Runna<\/p>\n<p>WHOOP<\/p>\n<p>The expanded support also introduces a workout log tool, which allows users to \u201cdynamically record sets, reps, and weight,\u201d while also making it easy to review previous sessions and repeat workouts later.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s Strava, the update also includes five new strength-specific sharing formats, so users can \u201ccelebrate their lifts and progress with friends, clubs, and the broader Strava community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Matt Salazar, Stravas\u2019s Chief Product Officer, on today\u2019s news:<\/p>\n<p>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. [\u2026] 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.<\/p>\n<p>Strava says that the new strength experience will roll out globally to its users \u201cin the coming weeks,\u201d and you can learn more about the news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/strength\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Worth checking out on Amazon<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767635229_987_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strava is completely overhauling its strength training experience, with a new workout log, automatic muscle maps, new sharing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[565,134,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-438561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
