Our review
Strava is the right pick for runners and cyclists who want community + tracking. Premium adds segments, training plans, route discovery. Not a replacement for guided workout apps like Peloton.
Pros
- Best running + cycling community (millions of athletes)
- Strong segments + leaderboards (compete on local routes)
- Tight integration with Garmin, Wahoo, Apple Watch
- Strong route discovery (heatmaps)
- Free tier covers basic tracking
Cons
- Strava Premium ($79.99/yr) required for advanced features
- Not a workout-content app (doesn't replace Peloton)
- Privacy concerns (default-public activities)
- Mobile-first — limited TV experience
