Strava is finally giving gym sessions the same level of detail as cycling and running. The company just announced a massive update to its strength training tools, bringing new ways to log sets, reps, weight, and targeted muscle groups. With over 500 million strength workouts recorded in 2025 alone, the platform is expanding its focus beyond endurance sports to better support users who consistently lift weights.
Record your weights and see which muscles you trained
The biggest change in this update is the new workout log. You can now enter your specific sets, the number of reps you finished, and the exact weight you lifted right inside the app. This makes it much easier to track your progress over time and repeat past gym routines without needing a separate notepad.
Strava also added automatic muscle maps. When you finish a workout, the app generates a visual breakdown showing exactly which muscle groups you worked on. Whether you track your activity with a fitness watch or an iPhone, these visual maps give you a quick summary of your physical effort.
To make gym sessions feel just as social as a morning run, the update includes five new shareable cards. These formats are built specifically for weightlifting, letting you post your lifts and celebrate your gym milestones with your followers.
Sync your workout data directly from other fitness apps
Rather than making you type everything by hand, Strava is pulling data directly from the tools you already use. The company introduced 14 new partner integrations to bring in detailed strength training stats automatically.
This list of partners includes popular platforms like Garmin, Coros, WHOOP, Fitbod, Hevy, JEFIT, and Runna. Another integration with 24 Hour Fitness will arrive later this summer. If you log a workout in one of these connected services, it will show up on Strava with all the details intact.
The new strength experience will roll out globally over the coming weeks. Importantly, the company confirmed that these features are available for all accounts, meaning you do not need a paid premium subscription to start tracking your sets.
Strength training is clearly becoming a priority for fitness platforms. By removing the manual work of logging gym routines and adding visual insights, Strava is adapting to how people actually train. It gives athletes a single place to monitor both their endurance miles and their weight room progress.
