I’m so happy to share that the tool I built earlier this year has just hit 100 users! The tool helps to automatically rename your Strava activities to make them more fun, interesting, and full of personality, no extra effort required!

You can choose from styles like:

• Roast: For some hilarious self-deprecation
• Funny: To add a lighthearted touch
• Motivational: For a little extra encouragement
• Or create your own Custom Style!

It’s been amazing to see how creative people have gotten. Some of the interesting custom styles so far include:

• Self-roasts that are absolutely brutal.
• Activity names for a dog’s Strava account.
• Custom roasts in German.
• Write like Shakespearean characters
• Song lyrics

This is a 100% free passion project, no paid tiers, just something I built for fun.
If you’re interested, check it out here: 👉 stravify.fun

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you give it a try. If you do give it a try, feel free to post your renamed activities here, and let me know what styles y'all are using! hahaha

Just a short description on user data & privacy as requested by mods:
I want to reassure you that your data privacy is a top priority. The tool only accesses the stats for the newly created strava activity necessary for renaming. No other private strava data is collected, stored, or used. I do not sell any of your data. All processing is done securely, and I ensure compliance with Strava’s API usage guidelines.

🎉 Update

I added a Playground section so you can easily test it out

I tried doing my first 100km but unfortunately my phone died, how do i recover the lost data?

Anyone who uses Samsung Health know how yo auto sync weights/circuit and other Samsung Health activities to Strava?

The run/walk sync fine but all others don't.

Thanks in advance

I deleted my account a couple of months ago when the API saga hit - and downloaded my entire history.... I've had second thoughts and have re-created my account and wondered if anyone else has ever bulk uploaded their Strava history back into the platform?

I get motivated by the segments feature in Strava, but i would like to add some new segments on the route that I run often (hello, local legend 😅🤪), but i really dont need Strava premium a lot. Can I just buy premium for a monts, register the segments and then go back to free Strava and run the segments like any other? 🤞

I'm using the latest Strava app on my Android phone. I was in a gym yesterday (can't ride outdoors due to snowy/icy roads and can't ride indoors because the drive belt on my smart trainer broke the other day). I was doing a quick spin bike effort at the gym, just to keep my legs moving. I tried launching the Strava recording function only to find the phone had already inexplicably paired with a running step sensor on someone else's shoes. Strava can only connect to one sensor at a time so I was unable to connect my HR monitor. On my phone I went into the BT settings and the step sensor doesn't even show up. I unpaired and re-paired my HR monitor. My HR monitor is connected, according to my phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Strava app and shutdown and restarted my phone. I turned on my cycling head unit and started a ride (while sitting at my desk) and my HR showed up fine.

Any suggestions on how to delete that non-existent step sensor? That appears to be what's stopping Strava from connecting with my HRM.

I noticed that the order of my clubs on my profile was seemingly randomized recently. Maybe it’s in some kind of order, but does anyone know what it is?

Previously, it was ordered by the order I joined them in. It’s not that anymore. On mobile, my four club preview is different and on web, the list is entirely randomized.

Also, to avoid any ire, I’m asking out of curiosity and not making a complaint. Just wondering if anyone has more information, that’s all.

I also noticed this with everyone I follow.

Also, this happened once before and it ended up going back to original orer.

I recorded the group ride today on my gopro and I wanna show the video to my friends but Strava just removes the YouTube URL. Wtf, come on Strava it ain't that serious. At least allow premium members to post links. God.

Is there any way of stopping my own activities showing in my home feed? My garmin syncs all activities to Strava so I already have them muted by default to avoid spamming everyone with boring walks etc. Problem is it stills spams up my own home feed when all I want to see is other people's activity. If I wanted to see my own I'd just look at my profile.

Not having much luck googling it, anyone know?

SO i have an Amazfit Unity Bip 5 and strava, I want to efficiently record both heart rate data and map data, how can one do this without creating duplicates?

I've started by trying to start workout from my watch and it syncs automatically across to strava, but most of the time if not all of the time it doesnt sync map data.

I've tried doing the workout from the strava app on my phone but it doesnt record heart data, if i try both recording the strava app and doing a workout on my phone it will then have 2 activities record at the same time. How can I do all at once in 1 workout?

I have done this on a samsung watch in the past because you have a strava app, i purposely bought the amazfit because I saw it was a watch which appears in the list of devices on strava, but when I try to connect the device it just takes me to a help page.

I hope this is understood so someone can help me.

Here is my profile on Strava so you can try understand what i mean.

Thanks.

I deleted it off a club not knowing it would be deleted from my actual profile too, can I get it back???

Is it posible to change standard setting per activity type? For exaple: i want my cycling uploaded visible for everyone but my walking just for me. Is it posible to do this without having to do it manually?

How do I update my phone number on Strava?

For a while, I carried my phone while running. I'm 14M and sometimes run later at night, so my parents (my mom especially) really value this feature as they know that I'm safe. For Christmas, I got my first real running watch, a Garmin Forerunner 255. I tried using the LiveTrack, but it seems like that only works if I'm within bluetooth range of my phone. I heard that you can use Strava Beacon with watches if you have the subscription, so

A. Do you still need your phone near you to use it?

B. Does it update the location + pace/distance live?

C. Are there any free alternatives?

Thanks for any answers!

I'm newer to Strava over the past few months. I signed up for a membership and have been exploring some segments near my house- great fun, loving it.

I am SUPER confused about how Local Legend works. https://strava.app.link/NrBXwLgL6Pb is a segment that I have completed four times this year so far during the course of some sessions. When I click to look at athletes, it only gives for completing it once in the past 90 days...

What am I doing wrong? I just ran it again today as part of a 4 mile training session.

Looking for some insight.

I'm only seeing the same activities from people,mainly from yesterday, there appears no order to any posts, also my activity doesn't seem to be showing for others (because I'm great and deserve kudos),, and the "ran with" connection for an activity doesn't seem to work

🤔🤔🤔

If I was doing a multi day effort with my iPhone and battery isn’t an issue, how long could I record an activity for? Does the app time out after a while? Is there a certain amount of data that strava allows you to record?

Does anyone else get these? I log my swim and run work outs on my Apple Watch and they sync to Strava. I never have a problem with it syncing real workouts. I keep getting these alerts when I haven’t done anything though. Any idea as to what might be causing this?

I was speaking with a friend, who is new to running, about Strava and it got me thinking about how I use Strava in my fitness journey. The thing is, both my friend and I use an advanced fitness tracker (Garmin in our cases) so does Strava actually add anything above what we get from that?

I gathered my thoughts on this, below, so I can share them more easily. What do you think? What have I missed? Or is my experience atypical?

Many people's first thought is that Strava is for posers bragging about their super fitness and that they need to be really fit before they should "post their results to Strava". Sure, there is some of that, but in reality that's not what I see.

The thing about a fitness journey is that "showing up" is the most important thing. Not how fast or how far you go. Consistency is king and anything that helps you get out there is good.

1. Reading Atomic Habits helped me understand a bit; getting a "like" on Strava triggers the reward centre in the brain, just like any other social media. But this time it's a reward for being active.

2. In reality, most people I know on Strava give the likes for the effort. If you just about manage to struggle through a slow 3k, you will likely get more love than a super athlete knocking 1 second of their PB.

3. Strava encourages this; if you haven't trained for a while, it will send push notifications to your followers when you do manage to get back to it so they can support you with a "like".

4. Strava also awards "Crowns" to the person who most often exercises on a certain "segment" - no matter how slow you may be. I.e. they reward consistency.

5. You can set up your own clubs or groups on Strava. It makes your solo exercise a bit more social. 

6. Finally, when I am out there at 6am in the dark and cold, it helps  - just a little bit - to know that *someone* will know i did that 😁

I have no affiliation with Strava and there is plenty I dislike about it. But I think it can be a really helpful social support tool for people at all levels - maybe especially beginners

Hi Strava fans! I looked at DesFit's Strava profile (https://www.strava.com/athletes/219850) and noticed that while he has screenshots uploaded to his activities, these don't appear in his photos list (only "real" photos appear).

I can't for the life of me work out how to do that. I like adding screenshots to activities, but I'd prefer my photo feed to be just phots from outside rides etc.

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Anyone else's fitbit activities not automatically syncing with Strava recently? For me it starting around the new year, everything's fine on fitbit but I've had to export the fitbit (Charge 5) data to manually upload them to Strava, where then all data from my runs is just fine.

Do you guys know if this is a fitbit issue or a Strava issue? In Strava it's saying my fitbit is still connected

After the new year my pixel watch 2 suddenly stopped tracking GPS. All of the permissions are enabled on both watch and phone, and the watch says it's using GPS whole I'm on my run. But the activity uploaded to Strava has no route. Has anyone encountered this and fixed it? I'm ready to factory reset my watch!

Pixel watch 2, Wear OS 5.0, Strava app fully updated.
