AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--F45 Training Holdings Inc., a leading global fitness community specializing in innovative, functional group workouts that are fast, fun, and results-driven, now serves as the first global functional fitness franchise to show grouped activities on Strava, the leading digital community for active people with more than 125 million athletes.

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."
