Strava adds coach-designed strength workouts with real-time set and rep tracking
Workout-tracking platform Strava is expanding its strength training features: users will get workouts designed by professional coaches, in which they can log completed sets and repetitions in real time.
Strava, a popular workout-tracking platform, has announced a significant expansion of its strength training features. Users will be offered workouts designed by professional coaches, during which they can record completed sets (series of repeated exercise movements) and individual repetitions in real time. This means progress can be logged during the session itself rather than afterwards.
Building on earlier changes
The update continues an overhaul of the strength training section that began a few months ago. At that time, the app gained a detailed workout log for recording the weights used and the sets performed. Automatic muscle maps were also added, showing which muscle groups a workout has worked.
What it means for users
Strava has been best known as an app for tracking sports activities, and the new options are aimed at people who train with weights and want a convenient way to follow their results. Coach-designed workouts provide a ready-made structure, while real-time tracking lets each user note exactly how much they actually completed.
