Strava review

Strava is the app to pick when your training happens outside as much as inside. It records runs, rides, hikes, yoga and more than 50 other sport types, and its strength view pulls exercises, sets, reps, weights and a muscle map from the device or strength app you already use. The Routes tool suggests popular routes from de-identified Strava data or lets you draw your own, and Athlete Intelligence summarizes each workout with AI. Strava syncs with thousands of devices and apps, from Apple Watch to Garmin and Fitbit, and live location sharing adds a safety layer on solo runs. The social feed and monthly challenges keep many people consistent. There is a free version; the App Store lists the subscription at $11.99 per month or $79.99 per year, a family plan at $139.99 and a Strava + Runna bundle at $149.99. Strava does not plan or coach a gym session, so pair it with Hevy or Fitbod for lifting.
