Flywheel Sports Announces Integration With Strava

"As pioneers in performance tracking technology in the world of indoor cycling, we are thrilled to partner with a like-minded brand such as Strava – THE social network for athletes," said Sarah Robb O'Hagan Flywheel CEO. "Both of our brands appeal to the world's most engaged fitness consumers – those looking to challenge themselves and others – and our integrated offering enables these fitness athletes to now compete and compare ride stats, enabling them to achieve more of their brilliant goals and share their achievements with the world."

"It's so clear when you experience it - in my very first class, the motivation from Flywheel's instructors and the TorqBoard inspired one of the best workouts I've had." said James Quarles, Strava CEO. "We're excited to partner closely with Flywheel to connect more of the achievements in their 'stadiums' with the encouragement and fun of the Strava community."

The integration meets the needs of the fitness consumer who seek customized, metrics-focused training to help them reach their goals. Both Strava and Flywheel athletes seek friendly competition and use social accountability to drive their fitness experience.

By downloading and using Strava, Flywheel riders can now:

Get real-time stats: When connected, Flywheel ride details will automatically sync to an athlete's Strava account, giving riders immediate post-class access to their performance. Flywheel data, passed through Strava, feature class name, time, distance, average speed (RPM), and Flywheel's proprietary Power Score metric.

Track all activities: Knowing that Flywheel and FlyBarre athletes are active in other aspects of their life, the partnership allows athletes to track and share many types of workouts in one place. Strava provides a virtual home for all workout data, gathered both inside and outside the studio.

Tap into a global community: With nearly 1 million athletes joining Strava every 40 days, the integration delivers an expansive global, like-minded network that encourages camaraderie, support, and motivation to help riders reach their goals.
