Remember all that behind-the-scenes work we kept mentioning? Here’s what it was for. With v9.1, we’re taking StrengthLog beyond the training log itself, introducing three major new features: Social, AI integration, and Strava. Plus an improvement to Strength Levels and the usual bug fixes. First up, we’re introducing social features! Training is easier to stick with when someone else knows whether you’re showing up. And a little friendly competition rarely hurts. You can now add friends, see summaries of their workouts in your friends feed, give them a fist bump, and challenge each other to competitions. Bragging rights are optional. Mostly. We’re starting with a limit of 25 friends and no public profiles. That’s deliberate. We’re not building an influencer platform or the next big fitness social network. We want to help you stay consistent, encourage and support each other, and reach your goals. This is just the beginning. Try it, tell us what you like, and, more importantly, what you’d like us to add next. And since social features won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, yes, you can hide the widget on your home screen. Just long-press it to bring up the customization menu. Another big thing: we’ve opened up your training data to AI. If you’re a Premium subscriber, you can now connect StrengthLog to ChatGPT or Claude through MCP, giving your AI assistant read-only access to your training data. Ask it how your bench press has progressed, whether your training volume has changed, or what your workout history might suggest about your program. You can dig into years of training without digging through years of logs. Read-only means exactly that: the assistant can analyze your data, but it can’t edit workouts, rewrite programs, or delete anything. AI can be remarkably useful. It can also be remarkably confident when it’s wrong. We’d rather not let that confidence loose on your training history just yet. You control the connection and can turn it off whenever you like. You can set it up in Settings under StrengthLog MCP. We’ve also added a Strava connection. Connect Strava, and its activities will appear as events in your calendar, including older activities. We fetch them as you browse, so scrolling back in time may mean a short wait. Workouts you log in StrengthLog can also be sent to Strava. One caveat: Strava limits how long we can cache its data, so activities aren’t permanently imported. They remain available while your connection is active and disappear from the calendar within an hour of disconnecting. The Strava connection is also found under Settings. And finally, a little improvement to Strength Levels. Strength Levels can now suggest specific sets to get you to the next level. Say you’ve benched 72.5 kg for one rep and need an estimated 1RM of 80 kg to level up. You might see suggestions such as 80 kg for one rep or 72.5 kg for four. Different routes, same destination. We’ve also fixed bugs and made a number of smaller improvements. Some are exciting to us. We understand if you don’t share our enthusiasm for obscure software problems. That’s v9.1. Give the new features a try, especially Social, and tell us what you think at app@strengthlog.com.

Well. We did it again. We’ve moved a lot of things around. Before you close the app forever, hear us out. The goal wasn’t to make you relearn StrengthLog from scratch. The goal was to make it make more sense. Things now live where they always should have lived. Your profile is now home to... well, your stuff (like exercises you create, programs you build, achievements you get, etc.). Statistics has taken custody of all the statistics. Exercises have moved into the Library. And each exercise page has become the one-stop shop for everything related to that exercise. Will your muscle memory hate us for a week? Probably. Will future you thank us? We think so. Here’s what else is new: • The top of your home screen now has a calendar where you can start workouts, plan future workouts, add events, and even backlog workouts you forgot to log. (We won’t judge. Much.) • You can also schedule training programs you follow now. • Cardio statistics have had a major glow-up, including history for your most common running and cycling distances. • We’ve built an entirely new Program Builder. Whether you just want to throw together a quick program or spend three hours optimizing every detail, we’ve got you covered. Choose between the new Simple Builder or the Detailed Builder, and let Smart Blocks do some of the heavy lifting. • You can now add a new type of exercise comment while building a program or during active workouts. These comments only belong to that specific workout, so use them for things like “bench was taken”, “left knee felt weird”, or “this seemed like a good idea at the time.” Your pinned exercise comments aren’t going anywhere—they still carry over every time you use an exercise, making them perfect for machine settings, technique cues, and other permanent reminders. • Your favorite graphs are now customizable. Reorder them, change their colors, and finally make your statistics look as organized as that color-coded training spreadsheet you swore you’d keep updated back in the stone age. • You can now mark programs as favorites, making your best (or least hated) programs easier to find. • The programs and workouts library now has two new filters, Favorites and Following, for quicker access. There are probably another hundred improvements we’ve forgotten to mention. Version 9.0 has been in development for so long that some of these features feel like they’ve always existed. As always, if you find a bug, have feedback, or simply want to tell us we ruined your life by moving a button, send us an email at app@strengthlog.com.

tarting with this update, we’ll send all cardio you log in the app as separate workouts to Apple Health, so the data there becomes more accurate. This means that when you log a workout in StrengthLog that includes both strength training and cardio, you’ll see one strength workout and one cardio workout in Apple Health going forward. The duration of the cardio workout will be the amount of time that cardio was logged in the workout, while the strength workout (including any mobility) will be sent as the full workout length minus the cardio portion.

If you follow training programs, you’ll be pleased with this update. Any exercise changes you’ve made are now visible during active workouts – and when you change an exercise, you’ll be asked if you want the change to be permanent or not! For cardio exercises, we’ve added a variable: floors climbed. Other than that, it’s mostly cleanup. Long exercise names weren’t visible in the superset menu, some exercise history gave a gray screen, and calendar events didn’t handle time zones correctly.

Our head of development is nagging me about finishing this release note quickly, so I’m going to take my time. Lots and lots of small improvements in this one. Hard to name them all, really. Or pick a favorite. One cool thing going forward is that we’ve started doubling our workload for the exercise demonstrations. Previously, we’ve filmed one demo for each exercise, mainly using one of our team members as the model. Meaning that our CEO, Daniel, was the model for a lot of popular barbell exercises (the first ones added to the app), but later on, we used everyone else in the company when adding new exercises. And since we’re a small team with a few dudes and a couple of dudedettes, the sex of the person demonstrating the exercise has been quite random. But going forward, we’ll try our best to ensure that most exercises get one video with a man and one with a woman. And that you, the user, see the one corresponding to the gender you’ve picked in the app. You’ll, of course, be able to view them both when an exercise has two, but the first one you’ll see will be gender specific. Right now, only 40-50 of our most popular exercises have this feature, and it will take us years to even get close to finishing this project. But kind of cool, right? Alright, more stuff to explain. We’ve redesigned the menus for handling exercise blocks and sets in workouts! The old ones had become cluttered beasts, and it felt impossible to add new features, while the new ones are much neater and easier for us to add stuff to. This will probably mean an extra tap before you reach the feature you’re looking for, but the chances of you finding more hidden gems should improve. And you’ll get used to the new menus, we promise. Most other menus have gotten small design changes, too, but nothing that changes how they function. Oh, before I forget, premium users will discover a new gem in the quick stats for sets (which you can now bring up more quickly by swiping left on the set): percentage of bodyweight! Meaning you’ll see what percentage of your bodyweight the entered set weight corresponds to. And supersets now also show stats for both exercises, instead of just their combined stats. This is getting long, but I have more to write, and I won’t let my colleague rush me. If you’re one of those who enjoy planning your workouts in the calendar, you’ll have more options going forward. It will now be possible to plan workouts using a previously logged workout, a workout marked as a favorite, or a workout template you’ve built yourself. Speaking of workouts and programs you build under the Mine tab, you can now rename your categories over there. We’ve also given CPR to the report feature, so it should be good as new. That’s about it, except: • Better summaries for mobility exercises. • Drop sets can now show PRs. • Small design improvements in a few of the calculators. • Yearly bests for cardio exercises have been repaired. • And more stuff, but he’s really yelling at me now to finish this thing. Bye!

One of the more requested features is for the app to lift the weights for you. We haven’t quite solved that one yet, but now we’ve finally made a program summary for when you complete a training program that’s three weeks or longer. That’s not nothing! And starting with this version, you’ll also get a small indication in the calendar when the date of your planned workouts has passed without you training them. We’ve also tweaked the design of our calculators, added a milestone for the fairly new Progress Pics feature, and made a bunch of improvements to our strength levels.

In the weeks since we released Strength Levels to the world, we’ve made some useful improvements that you might or might not notice. But they are there, we promise. We’re also trying a new warning system that pops up if you try to save a workout with suspiciously high numbers logged in it. Let us know if you like it! There’s other stuff, too, but it’s mostly under the hood. We’re still working on making the app faster than the Millennium Falcon!

It’s finally time to climb to the next full release number, from 7 to 8, because this version contains one of our most requested new features in years: Strength Levels! So, what is it? A fun way for our users to compare themselves with other app users, both when it comes to general strength (based on the fifteen most logged exercises in the app) and on individual lifts. As of this release, there are 200 exercises added to Strength Levels—and more will be added continuously. You’ll find Strength Levels on the stats tab, with a shortcut at the bottom of your start screen. Also in this version: • Improved data when previewing workouts that contain cardio exercises. • If you’re logging your fat percentage, you can now add dates to those entries. • We’ve added an edit button to the preview view on workouts and programs under the Mine tab. • This is a huge update. Bugs are to be expected. Don’t fear them. Together, we can and will find them.

We’ve redesigned the login screen, which isn’t a very exciting thing to write about in a release note. But we prefer telling you what new releases actually contain, rather than generic words about bug fixes and speed improvements. So there’s that. We also made a slight change to the new workout shortcut when viewing premium stats for specific muscles or exercises. It now lists all workouts you’ve logged that include that muscle or exercise, rather than just those during the selected timeframe.

Here’s a word you might hate: cardio. And cardio is what most of this update is about, because no matter what we feel about it, we all understand it should play at least a small part in our lives. So sorry, not sorry, but the best strength training app in the world just got better at tracking your cardio, too! • We’ve changed how the app determines whether what you log is a new cardio PR, finally using an algorithm that makes sense. • We’ve also introduced yearly records (YR) and yearly summaries, just like we’ve always had for strength exercises. • Tap a specific PR to view its history. • Toggle the record list between time or distance records. • Workouts that contain cardio exercises will now show your average tempo in the exercise summary. Do you feel exhausted yet? Imagine how we feel! But that’s not all. If you have a premium subscription and enjoy our more advanced stats, you will now find a shortcut when looking at stats for specific muscles or exercises that lists all workouts you’ve logged containing the muscle or exercise in question. Pretty neat.

We’re back from the Holidays to clean up the mistakes of years past. Mainly from the last release, at the end of December, when we broke your ability to edit exercises. We blame eggnog. We also fixed bugs in Progress Pics and bodyweight exercises, and resolved some minor issues in the training log reports and record lists. Finally, we removed that lazy delay when you delete a workout from the training log, which made it seem like it wasn’t deleted even though it was. So confusing.

We’re getting a head start on 2026 by fixing minor but still important stuff: • Our ”Export Your Data” feature on the settings page has been significantly improved. • The exercise library on the settings page now has the same design as in active workouts. • Inputting assisted or additional weight is now integrated with our new keyboard. • And other stuff you might notice if you dig deep enough! Digging is fun, after all. Let’s dig a hole to the other side of the world together next year!

Update to this version ASAP to be ready for January, when we release the Your Gains in Review report, which summarizes your 2025 training year. With this version, we also launch a new long-requested feature: Progress Pics! Check it out on the same page as your body measurements. We look forward to your feedback and to improving this feature together with its users. This might be the last update of 2025. On the other hand, it might not. Impossible to tell, really.
