How WHOOP and Strava Work Together

Most training data lives in pieces – your runs sit in one app, and your lifts sit in another. The wearable on your wrist captures the strain and recovery, but the workouts themselves, including the GPS, the route, the exercises, live somewhere else.

WHOOP and Strava close that gap. Activities recorded on Strava, or routed there from another device, flow into WHOOP. WHOOP cardio and strength workouts flow out to Strava. Connect once, and your full training picture follows you across both apps.

Why this integration matters

Strava is where a lot of training gets aggregated, like indoor rides from Zwift, outdoor runs from Garmin, or lifts logged in Fitbod or Hevy. Your WHOOP device should autodetect your activity and capture the Strain, but your activity details may miss the distance, pace or the strength exercises.

When that data flows into WHOOP, your activity details get richer. WHOOP has more context about you and your training — pace, distance, the lift you did this morning. And when your strength workouts flow back out to Strava, the work you put in shows up alongside your runs and rides on the feed.

What flows from Strava into WHOOP

Activities recorded on Strava import into WHOOP automatically. So do activities that other devices route through Strava — a run with another wearable device, an indoor ride from Zwift, a lift logged in Hevy.

Each imported activity can carry:

• GPS, distance, pace/speed for cardio activities (when available).
• Power and cadence when the original device captured them.
• Exercises with sets, reps, and weights when the activity is strength training and the source app logged that detail.
• Source attribution — "Garmin Via Strava" when another device routed through. You can see where the data came from on the activity details screen.

If an activity overlaps something WHOOP already recorded, WHOOP keeps the version with the richer data. No duplicates.

What flows from WHOOP into Strava

Any activity recorded on WHOOP can flow to Strava. In the Strava integration settings page, you can choose to have all activities shared to Strava, specific activity types shared, or you can share one-off via the Activity Details page. If you enable Strength Trainer workouts you record on WHOOP to flow to Strava, then WHOOP will share the full structure of the session — not just "Weightlifting, 30 minutes."

In the Strava feed, your strength workouts show up with:

• The list of exercises you performed, with weights
• Total volume lifted
• Muscle groups worked, rendered as a muscle map
• WHOOP attribution as the source

The muscle map is Strava's feature. WHOOP supplies the structured strength data behind it.

How imported activities show up in your data

A workout that imports from Strava is treated the same as one WHOOP recorded on its own. It contributes to your daily Strain and counts toward your Healthspan metrics — including strength activity time and zone-based activity time.

The activity details screen shows the route, pace, power, cadence, and source. WHOOP uses that detail when it talks about your training — so instead of "you ran for 45 minutes," the conversation can be about the 5 mile run you actually did.

Your training, one full picture

This integration keeps both WHOOP and Strava current with all your activities — without manual logging. Connect Strava in the WHOOP app.

Frequently asked questions about the WHOOP and Strava integration

How do I connect Strava and WHOOP?

In the WHOOP app, go to More > App Settings > Integrations and select Strava. Once connected, activity import is on by default. You can turn it off any time on the Strava integration page.

What kinds of activities import from Strava into WHOOP?

Cardio activities — runs, rides, and other endurance activities — import with GPS, distance, pace, power, and cadence when available. Strength activities on Strava (Weight Training, HIIT, Crossfit, and Workout) import with exercises mapped to the WHOOP exercise library.

Will activities from my Garmin or Zwift show up in WHOOP?

Yes, if those devices route activities to Strava or Apple Health (iOS) / Health Connect (Android). WHOOP shows the source of the imported data so you always know where the data came from.

What strength data goes from WHOOP to Strava?

Strength Trainer activities flow to Strava with the full list of exercises and weights if you’ve enabled WHOOP to share that activity type to Strava. In the Strava feed, members see total volume lifted, muscle groups worked, exercises with weights, and personal records.

What if I record the same workout on both WHOOP and Strava?

WHOOP deduplicates automatically. If an activity originated on WHOOP, the GPS data from Strava layers in without creating a duplicate. If a Strava import overlaps an activity that came in through Apple Health or Health Connect, WHOOP keeps the Strava version because it has the richer detail.

Can I turn off Strava imports?

Yes. On the Strava integration page in the WHOOP app, toggle the import setting off. Your existing activities stay; new Strava activities won't import.

Do I still need to log strength workouts manually?

No. Strength activities you record on WHOOP — and strength activities recorded in any app that writes to Strava — flow through automatically. For exercise-level detail (sets, reps, weights), use Strength Trainer on WHOOP or any strength app that writes to Strava.
