SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Strava,
the social network for athletes, today announces its newest Gym
& Studio Sync partner, MINDBODY (NASDAQ: MB), the world's
leading booking platform for fitness classes.
Through Strava's Gym and Studio Sync program, athletes can
seamlessly track and quantify more types of workouts on Strava
alongside their runs, rides and swims. Now, this partnership allows
Strava athletes to share their participation in any of the 5.2
million fitness classes and wellness services offered daily via the
MINDBODY app and MINDBODY branded apps and websites. Enabling
athletes to discover new classes through friends' activities turns
the Strava feed into a recommendation engine for the best workouts
and fitness classes in any locale.
Nearly two-thirds of Strava athletes exercise indoors at least
once a week, with strength training, yoga, treadmill running and
indoor cycling ranking as the most popular activities. As boutique
studios and fitness apps rise in popularity and increasingly offer
data to quantify their members' efforts, Gym & Studio Sync
gives Strava athletes a way to memorialize more of their athletic
lives.
"For athletes looking to vary their workouts, there's no better
discovery and booking resource than MINDBODY," says James Quarles, Strava CEO. "Strava members
aren't just runners, or just riders – they're active in all sorts
of ways. Adding millions of new classes to Strava's Gym &
Studio Sync program really drives our momentum as we continue to
broaden the activities you can make count on Strava."
Athletes use MINDBODY to more easily find, book and pay for
workout classes and wellness services in their local communities.
Wellness entrepreneurs worldwide use MINDBODY's integrated software
and payments platform to run, market and build their
businesses.
To sync classes booked through the MINDBODY app or any studio
that uses MINDBODY, open the MINDBODY app, click on "Profile" and
connect to Strava from the "Settings" page. Once connected, the
name, location, length and type of workout along with an image of
the workout flow seamlessly to your Strava profile after the
class.
