Strava has pushed a significant update to its strength training features, and if you’ve been manually logging your lifts, this one’s for you.
The most immediately useful change: you can now multi-select exercises when adding them manually to strength activities. That means no more tapping through each movement one at a time if you forgot to log during your session. It’s a small workflow improvement, but it’s the kind of thing that makes the difference between actually using the feature and abandoning it halfway through.
But this is just the tip of the barbell. Based on the available sources, the broader update appears to include a full overhaul of Strava’s strength experience. The company announced 14 new partner integrations spanning wearables and fitness platforms, including Amazfit, Garmin, and Whoop, with 24 Hour Fitness expected later this summer. That’s a lot of ecosystem expansion for a sport type that Strava says is one of its fastest-growing — more than 500 million strength uploads in 2025 alone.
The update text points to a dedicated workout log, auto-populated muscle maps, and five new strength-specific shareable formats. The muscle maps are interesting: they automatically show which muscle groups you worked based on the exercises you logged. For anyone who’s ever stared at a blank post-workout screen trying to remember whether they did lateral raises or front raises, that’s genuinely useful.
Strava’s press materials describe this as a “full overhaul” of the strength activity experience. The help center confirms you can still build a full workout log manually if you didn’t use a connected app or device — search the exercise library, enter sets, reps, and weight, and delete individual sets if you need to clean things up.
I’ve been skeptical of Strava’s strength features in the past. They always felt bolted on, an afterthought for runners who occasionally lifted. This update suggests the company is taking the gym crowd seriously. Whether that’s because strength training is genuinely booming on the platform or because Strava needs to diversify beyond running and cycling is hard to say. Probably both.
The rollout timing isn’t entirely clear from the sources. The press announcement dates to May 2026, and the app detection timestamp is late July 2026, so this may have been a staggered release or a server-side switch that took time to reach all users. Either way, if you’ve updated recently and your strength activities look different, that’s why.
One thing worth noting: the developer changelog mentions that Club Activities, Club Members, and Club Admins endpoints will be removed on September 1, 2026. That’s a separate change, but it’s a reminder that Strava is also trimming features on the backend while expanding on the front end.
If you lift and use Strava, it’s worth poking around the strength activity screen. The multi-select alone might save you a few taps per workout. Over a year, that adds up.
