This handy app tracks pretty much all your physical activities: runs, hikes, yoga sessions, bike rides, swims, gym training, CrossFit, rock climbing and more. But what makes Strava shine is everyone you can break a sweat with.
What we love: Each day, you’ll find members of the Strava community sharing stats in the app, and if you love a bit of healthy competition, you can find it here. King or Queen of the Mountain or Course Record badges are awarded to the fastest competitor in each of its sport disciplines.
Quick tip: Strava is also great for discovering new trails. Subscribers to a Summit membership get access to customisable training plans, along with deeper, post-workout analyses. Another great perk: the Beacon feature, which lets you share your location in real time with your designated safety contacts.
Meet the creator: Passionate about sport and camaraderie, friends Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath came about the idea whilst at Harvard, but could only launch the app in 2019 when wearable marketplace and GPS devices had entered the technology space.
