The integration between F45 Training and Strava apps allows
members to connect their fitness goals with the global F45 Training
community, inviting them to track their progress against that of
others. It’s done seamlessly with automatic activity uploads to
Strava, displaying class type, sharing average beats per minute,
calories and location. Additionally, these uploaded activities will
automatically group on Strava, so athletes can benchmark their
efforts and connect with others who completed the same workout.
It’s as easy as downloading the F45 Training app, utilizing
LionHeart and following the prompts to connect to Strava.
F45 Training makes available all data collected from LionHeart,
its wearable technology that tracks points, heart rate and more, in
Strava’s feed. On Strava, F45 Members can choose to join the F45
Training Club to connect with fellow F45 Members, and can elect to
appear on a global leaderboard, showcasing a ranked list of members
and fostering friendly competition between them worldwide.
“Becoming the first global functional fitness franchise to
collaborate with Strava in a really unique way deepens the
connections our members and Strava users have to their fitness and
wellness journeys, all as a global, like-minded community,” said
Tom Dowd, CEO of F45 Training. “The integration with LionHeart is a
key component of our partnership and will really make sharing
workout results and supporting other members both near and far more
seamless than ever before. The time to join the F45 Training Club
on Strava is now and, with roughly 20,00 F45 Training locations,
there are a lot of studios in which to train.”
“This integration with F45 Training reinforces Strava’s
dedication to fostering active communities worldwide,” said Mateo
A. Ortega, Vice President of Connected Partnerships at Strava.
“We're excited to open up new opportunities for athletes to
connect, support each other and share their fitness journeys with
Strava's global community."
During Strava Week, starting June 24, participants who join the
F45 Training Club on Strava and share their workouts will have the
chance to win daily giveaways, while Strava athletes can access a
free one-day trial at their nearest F45 Training studio.
F45 Training, rated the No. 1 gym chain in the U.S. by Men's
Journal in 2023, combines elements of functional workouts and
high-intensity interval training (HIIT), with members able to
complete each of the workouts at their own pace. Thousands of
functional movements make the workouts different each time and are
a proven concept to help members achieve the best results.
