Strava is the social network for athletes. Subscriber Account active since. Its been a banner year for health and exercise apps, but especially for Strava. The fitness tracking app — which is Swedish for "strive" — uses GPS technology to record real-time distance and speed for activities like biking and running. Strava downloads in May rose to 3. The rates outpaced traditional peaks in January, when demand and sales for fitness products and services is historically at its highest.
While a Strava was not able to confirm these numbers, a spokesperson for the company said the meteoric rise of the company in recent months can largely be attributed to the impact of the coronavirus. One example of Strava's impressive growth is its "SOLOdarity Challenge" — a program designed for users "to stay active and connected while socially distancing," according to the spokesperson.
The program has amassed nearly one million users. Strava has also experienced high participation rates in its monthly 5K running challenges, with more than 1.
That aligned with the major uptick in fitness hardware sales from companies like Peloton. At last count, Horvath said, "close to 50 million Peloton activities have been uploaded to Strava," acknowledging the synergy of its partnerships with equipment makers.
Sales in March, however, were flat compared to that month a year ago, which he foresees as a proxy for the rest of Peloton specifically has grown commensurately.
As of March 31, the New York-based company reported more than 5. There could be softening in that demand as in-person workouts and gyms re-open.
Wedbush Securities downgraded Peloton last week, claiming that the company has seen a drop off in customer engagement, based on analysis of social media and internet search trends. Typically, a real-world cyclist attaches the back end of his road bike to a digitally controlled smart trainer, linked to an app that simulates his avatar riding an actual route — from a local favorite to a mountain stage in the Tour — seen on a monitor, tablet or smartphone.
The trainer automatically increases and decreases resistance to mimic the route's elevation. Since Zwift was founded in Long Beach, California, in , 3. The company did not provide the current number, though said the figure doubled in FY , which ended in March. Strava stated that million Zwift activities have been uploaded to its platform, including thousands of grueling "Everstings," a single virtual ride that climbs a total of at least 29, feet, the height of Mt.
During worldwide Covid lockdowns last year, Zwift held a virtual Tour de France, with classifications for both men and women. And to make post-stage analysis much easier. That makes debriefing a time trial extremely interesting. Strava currently has over 42 million accounts and adds approximately 1 million new users every month, including Peloton riders, rowing machine enthusiasts, yoga practitioners And over 80 percent of the user base is outside the U.
Which means user growth is not necessarily a problem for Strava, especially since many are increasingly active throughout the day. Originally just a place to log activities, Strava now allows users to post photos, stories, race reports, ask questions And is how I found out that my sea-level lungs were no match for the 7, foot elevation. People love how our product connects them with other people, lifts them up, challenges them That's where the social aspect of our community plays such a huge role.
But user growth doesn't guarantee profitability, even though Strava appears to be on a break-even path without taking on outside financing. Strava's challenge is to provide more services that more users are willing to pay for Take me: I use very few apps, pay for even fewer, but Strava is one: Since my heart attack , heading out for a long mountain ride doesn't leave my wife with warm fuzzy feelings.
The Safety Pack shares my live location with her and a few of my other "safety contacts. That's the thing about tools.
If Strava was just for fitness tracking, I'd use it. If Strava was just a social platform, I wouldn't. The fact Strava is those things, and more, broadens the potential user base while allowing people to choose how they wish to interact with the app -- and with other people.
